Chelmsford Creamery — Restaurant in Chelmsford

I'm going to try not to write a book here about Gary's even though I want to.

Having grown up right down the road, Gary's Ice Cream was a staple in the summer time for my brothers and I. While I always enjoyed the ice cream, I never truly appreciated how great it was until I became an adult.

Not one single time have I gotten an ice cream here that was not above average. It is so above par in fact, that even though I live in Boston now I will be making frequent trips here throughout the summer, and not only when I am visiting family. The banana ice cream is so delicious, and is my go-to for a frappe. Although there is a seasonal mango flavor that has been taking my love and attention the last couple of times I've gone.

People complaining about the price- you have to understand that you get what you pay for. When you get an ice cream, frappe, sundae etc at Gary's it's a real treat and should be treated as such.

Also, it is more than just the ice cream that makes this stand great. When you come here, you feel like you are coming to a place that has been here forever. A staple of the community. There is so much history and in this weird way you can feel it as you stand outside under the neon sign, struggling to decide on one out of dozens of fantastic flavors, with a hot orange summer sun setting in the sky. Whenever I interact with Gary, he has always been nice and personable, letting me know about flavors he's working on etc. This ice cream stand is his baby, and he is a prime example of a business owner who has never lost his passion for his craft.

It is a special experience going there. The struggle is going to be real however later this summer when I need to choose between blueberry or peach. Thank you Gary and your staff for always providing a...

Found this on the way back home from NH as a happy accident, because we were on the road I just got a milkshake (native new yorker), or as the New Englanders say.. a frappe. What Massachusetts lacks in dough for bagels and pizza, they thrive in dairy. I’ve had some of the best Icecream here and Gary’s has definitely made top of the list. It has a very classic and nostalgic feel to it, window service with tables to eat at.

This review was made during Covid and all employees were wearing masks and are super quick and friendly.

I guess the icecream is pricey but I really don’t notice or care because the icecream is homemade, delicious, and I get to support local business, whats a couple of extra dollars more for quality? Also for the price I pay, I feel like I get an appropriate amount...

This place is one of my childhoods fondest memories! As a child, my mom and dad would pile us in the family car and off to Gary's Homemade Ice-Cream we always loved the feel of community togetherness, while choosing o which of the multitudes of flavors we would order my mom's is Maple Walnut and mine has always been Chocolate Chip..yummy! Today, although Gary's Ice-Cream is owned by the younger generation, it still bears the memorable unique logo of the little boy and its dog in its original color blue! Thank you Gary and all your staff for the many beautiful memories and your continuing to be here for the next generations to come...May we All Lick, Sip, Spoon...
