"Well she gets colder every time I try to hold her…read morecrazy 'bout a north side gal" (Allison Krauss) Northside Creamery not only makes homemade ice cream in Westfield, MA, but I'm here to tell ya that the homemade ice cream they make in Westfield, MA is FANTASTIC. Rich, creamy, smooth, full of flavors, pretty much perfect. And their pricing is pretty good -two small dishes (peanut banana and Mexican chocolate) were just $4.50 each. And of course, a "small" dish is far from small, they were close to two scoops each. I really enjoyed the Mexican Chocolate. It had a "spicy" warning on it, which was merited because the ice cream had a slight cayenne after bite to it that was a great combination with the icy cold chocolate and cinnamon tastes. Northside has a very large flavor menu with close to 40 regular flavors, ten seasonal flavors, eight soft serves, shakes, floats, coolers, sundaes, and more, even a doggie dish. They have a nice seating area with picnic tables and benches, and a few photo ops for the little darlings in your party. The only drawback was their small parking lot where an inconsiderate clod thought his desire for ice cream outweighed my ability to back out of my parking spot. He could have parked right next door where a neighboring business was closed on Sunday and walked over, like half a dozen other customers did. PRO TIP Be aware of their hours and relatively late opening time. Their Summer Hours: (7 days a week) are 2 PM - 9 PM

This is truly some of the best ice cream I've ever had now I've only tried two flavors, but both were fantastic and made me wonder of all the years that I've wasted eating other ice cream.

Can't wait to try them all.

"Your love is better than ice cream Better than anything…read moreelse that I've tried" (Sara McLachlan) Driving home on Route Ten from Northampton, we stopped at Sheldon's for some excellent homemade ice cream. They have an interesting place-from the parking lot it just looks like a storefront ordering window with an outdoor patio, But, inside they have a second ordering counter, a huge dining room, and a wraparound deck overlooking the Manhan River -really quite lovely. We ordered two cones - my wife had an Almond Joy and I went with a Mint Oreo. My cone was very good, plenty of mint flavor without being overpowering, and plenty of Oreo pieces hiding inside. I went with a kiddie size, which is actually one scoop, and it was plenty to satisfy my craving on a hot day.

Not sure what's going on at Sheldon's but the flavor of the ice cream this year is subpar. I've…read morebeen visiting for years and always enjoy sitting on the back deck and enjoying my ice cream but it seems like the quality is not what it once had been. Just my 2 cents.

Sometimes I act a little crazy and go for sprinkles, but today I behaved. The kid size is genius. Just enough for a taste so I can walk away happy without the guilt. Yes, I understand. I am not a child, but I do not need an adult by serving of ice cream for so many reasons! Soft serve isn't easy to get right. I've used the machine before and know there's a real science to it. Smyth's has it down to an art. The staff is always sweet. It's a quick transaction with a smile every single time, which just adds to the experience. No line today, which felt like winning the lottery. Summer nights here can get packed, but it's worth every minute. Benches outside, sugar cones in the air, that true hometown spot feeling. Anytime I'm in Enfield, I pull over for my usual vanilla soft serve with cherry dip. It never misses.

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.

The two employees were helpful and polite and we sampled a few of the more unusual flavors before deciding on our ice cream choices. I sampled the Brown Sugar Bourbon & Pecan and it was so delicious that I went with a combination of that and chocolate chip cookie dough in a house-made waffle cone. It was all so good - especially loved the house-made waffle cone. It was one of the best I've had - thick, crunchy, and delicious. Best of all, icecream didn't drip out the bottom of the cone as has happened to me with house made cones in other places. Prices were reasonable and Batch is located in a really nice shopping plaza with plenty of parking. We'll be back!
