Definite five star! A ton of flavors and maybe the best ice cream I've ever had with the apple crisp flavored ice cream . It was ridiculously good, plenty of staff working everyone getting helped. Place is hopping does a terrific business!! Grounds are great, lot of bench seating outside. Owners are great people

This ice cream shop is amazing! The cookie dough ice cream is absolutely delicious—perfectly creamy with big chunks of dough in every bite. The homemade waffle cups take it to the next level with their fresh, warm, and slightly crunchy texture. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into everything. Friendly service!! Definitely my go-to spot for ice cream!

★★★★★ 5.0 Neena Beena · Apr 2025

The Ice Cream Barn ranks in our household’s top three spots for homemade ice cream—and for good reason. Their flavor variety is amazing, and the scoops are rich, generous, and totally satisfying. They even make their waffle cones fresh on-site, and you can often catch them in the act while waiting in line. Sampling a flavor or two before choosing is encouraged—and trust me, you won’t be disappointed. They’re also serious about sustainability, using compostable cups and spoons to cut down on waste. Even leftover waffle cones don’t get tossed—they’re fed to the cows just across the street. If you’re lucky, you might even catch that happening while you’re there!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This review is a long time coming. The only way I could possibly be here more is if I got a full-time job. Addiction is putting it lightly. If you're looking for a true farm-to-table, local experience, look no further. I absolutely love this place. The cows that produce the milk for the ice cream are literally across the street. It doesn’t get fresher than that! I must’ve been here a million and two times, and I’ve tried almost every flavor, so let me highlight our favorites. Ice Cream: Classic: Apple crisp ice cream in a waffle bowl (comfort in every bite). Decadent: Black raspberry with Oreos and/or hot fudge in a waffle bowl (next level indulgence). Special flavors: Lucky Charms, Nutella (my kids’ favorite), Fruity Pebbles. Seasonal favorites: Pumpkin flavor (Fall time) and

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Marc Morrissette · Mar 2026

Long time customer. The quality of their shakes has gone WAY down compared to how they have been made for years. Though delicious, they are no longer thick and are made with much less ice cream. They are now using a scale and the amount of ice cream is significantly less and does not justify the premium price point.
