They cater to all types of dietary issues and have dairy free and sorbets. Even their cookie and cake selection usually has at least one GF item. Their board also displays if any flavor has wheat, nuts, or eggs in it, which is much appreciated! The staff is always knowledgeable and friendly. The line can be out the door at times, but the staff work diligently to keep it moving. The seating can be tight but it's a nice place to hang out if they have the space. Fun wall hangings and always their signature bears keeping us all company! The only downside to this place is that it is so well frequented, as it should be, that some flavors sell out quickly. It will be there one day and then not the next, so get it while you can. Or alternatively, you can email them and special order a flavor you love that you keep missing. I love that they do this! It takes time, so plan ahead, but it is so worth it! And although I want people to keep this business running, I.e. keep the money flowing so they keep in business... I have to also say, don't forget to come in and get your free birthday sundae!! Maybe just bring a friend who will purchase their own item.

People are happy, the animals are happy, the kids are happy. But what about the ice cream? Well, this time I actually came to judge that, and the verdict is... it's the best ice cream in the area! I had the Purple Cow, black raspberry ice cream with white and dark chocolate chips, and it was so good. The ice cream here is definitely on the creamier side, which is exactly how I like it. It edges out my longtime favorite that's just three minutes away, simply because I prefer a creamier style of ice cream. My wife prefers a less creamy texture so whether you like this place or the other place up the road more really comes down to personal preference. We ordered the kiddie size and it was still surprisingly generous. Free sprinkles were a nice bonus too. The little shop inside is really cute. They sell jams, cheeses, mushrooms, breads, ice cream, and a bunch of other local products so it's worth taking a few minutes to browse. Overall, an awesome atmosphere, excellent ice cream, and a place I'd happily return to every time I'm in the area.

One change since my last visit is that you now order the ice cream outside instead of inside. The line was long but it moved surprisingly fast. I do wish they offered samples and this time they were missing some of the more unique flavors that I like to try. Kiddo and Wifey got the Orange Pineapple, and they both loved it. The best part was that it wasn't overly sweet. It was light, fruity, refreshing, and the pineapple pieces throughout gave it great texture. My mom got half raspberry and half pineapple from the non dairy sorbet options and really enjoyed both. I went with the Black Raspberry Chip and it was so good. This is that old-school ice cream I grew up with. If you've had it before, you know exactly what I mean. That said, after trying another place just three minutes away, I do think that other ice cream is creamier. I personally prefer a creamier texture, while my wife likes a firmer scoop, so it really comes down to preference. One thing to know before ordering: when they say "one scoop" they really mean one scoop. Don't expect an oversized serving. There are chickens and cows roaming around the farm, which adds to the experience. The animals looked happy, and while seating is limited, there are both indoor and outdoor places to sit and enjoy your ice cream. Overall, this is still a great stop and one I've enjoyed for years. This place is well worth visiting for the farm atmosphere, beautiful views, and classic homemade ice cream.

They clearly market and display on the wall in HUGE letters " we serve giffords hard ice cream". Sounds like you went in and didnt get your way so you come on here and lie. No ice cream shop splits a scoop in half for you so again stop lying. They are so busy the lines wrap around the building and to the back. To anyone who read my review this far, dont listen to the troll and go try for yourself. THEY HAVE THE BEST SOFT SERVE IN ALL OF WESTERN MASS.

Soft serve was fine, nothing special and no different than other area places. Yesterday was my…read morefirst visit, brand new customer and I told them as much. I typically like to get 2 flavors of hard ice cream in a small ( 2 half scoops). The fact is that 2 full scoops is a lot of ice cream. The hard ice cream is NOT homemade but from Giffords. I tried 1 sample of a Smore's , it was fine. They refused to do it. Which is why I ended up with the twist. Very disappointing since I would have likely stopped by after work often. They have no outside or inside seating. So I will not be back and instead go to; Mr.Cone, Chicopee, Roger's Place, Chicopee, Elsie's, Ludlow (spectacular homemade ice cream) Cha's Ludlow, Flayvor's Hadley ( incredible homemade ice cream), McCrays South Hadley, (great ice cream), JB's East Longmeadow ( fabulous homemade ice cream) Rice Fruit Farm, Wilbraham ( terrific homemade ice cream) Fenway Golf, East Longmeadow, The Apple Place, East Longmeadow ( also great Home Baked Pastries). Just to name a few that have far better ice cream and are happy to combine 2 half scoops of 2 flavors in a small cup. All have better environment to sit outside or some even inside. Way too many places to explore and choose to go back to a place with ok soft service, no place to gather with friend or family and not very accommodating. Not looking for extra ice cream since it is still in a small cup. Not sure why this would be an issue, not like I was holding up a line of people. I was their only one there. I guarantee I would not have been the only person at any of the above places.

It's the best vanilla soft serve in the area and beyond. What's most impressive is the over 20 flavors of soft serve which is quite rare. Fear not though as they also serve hard ice cream as well as frozen yoghurt. There's lots of toppings too. So far the two times I've been there there was a line, but it moved fast. This place is a must if you're in the mood for ice cream and worth a reasonable drive as well.
