Our family had a Cold Treat Monday/Summer of Endless Scoops tradition this year, where we visited a new (to us) ice cream spot each week and rank our goods. Some places saw serious divides - father battling son, wife against husband, man clashing with his sweet baby girl. Come to think of it, everyone was just fighting me. Huh. Anyway, one place we all agreed on - wholeheartedly! - was Heidi's. They're scooping Richardson's, so can't give them makers cred, but the atmosphere is dope (music on loud speakers, seating inside and out, antique shop), folks are friendly, and the price is bananas for super premium product. read more

Was heading to a volleyball game in Rockland and took me some time to find a spot, but got it! Such a lovely little ice cream shoppe if you're in the area - ENJOY. The staff were so sweet and the ice cream wasn't too sweet. They do have homemade waffle cones, had better, but passable. read more

What a cute and fun place to stop at. The tons of licenses plates that they have hanging around is a great way to kill time while eating your ice cream. And they don't skimp on the size!! We were driving to another ice cream place closer to home, but when we saw this place, we just HAD to stop!!! The outdoor seating offers many shaded options, and it never hurts to end the experience with a game of corn hole. stop by Heidi's you won't be disappointed! read more

They have the best ice cream and shakes! My go to when I need a frappe fix. Place is clean and they are always improving I'm 100% impressed!

Our favorite townie ice cream place. Our favorite flavors are coffee Oreo, Maine black bear and pumpkin oreo

Such a fun ice cream place! Love the license plates on the outside of the building. Oh, and their ice cream is delicious. A must try!

Good, hometown ice cream! The staff is always nice and they have a great selection! The atmosphere is great too with the wide open outdoor seating. read more

Asked for a small sundae and that's for sure what I got. $7.50 for a Hoodsie cup with a spoon full of hot fudge and a spoon full of marshmallow Once done had to go to Dairy Queen to get a real size ice cream don't waste your time...other better places in area that won't rip you off read more

They have the best Richardsons ice cream. And have an amazing menu. They have probably at least 50 flavors to choose from. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but they really have a lot. read more

Waited in line forever only to be told they take Apple Pay in the middle line only... but whatever. What bothered me more is that when I arrived home to enjoy my ice cream I realized that my banana split came WITHOUT bananas... how do you forget the bananas??! read more

Heidi's Hollow Farm - Small 2 scoop with blueberry pie and chocolate chip cookie dough - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Hanson, Massachusetts

Ice cream is always delicious and the new owners are great. Always worth the wait and the line goes quick

Found this place on Yelp as we have some time to kill and it was great! The store is charming with lots of antique signs on the store front. They serve Richardson's here as with other ice cream places in NE. Couldn't believe the price. It was super reasonable unlike the other ice cream farms around the area. $2.85 for a kid size and $3.75 for a kid size sundae. We ordered 2 kid size cones, a kid size sundae and a root beer float. Total came up to $13.75. The loot would have cost me over $20 at the other places. The kid size is good enough to satisfy our cravings. As with Richardson's, you know what to expect. Will definitely return if we are in the area. read more

The service was so great here, ice cream was mad good too. Definitely a great spot for ice cream

I've gone to Heidi's for years however I have to say that I miss the old Heidi's greatly. Don't get me wrong, the new ownership still uses the same great ice cream however the portions are much smaller, prices are higher and they are very chinsey with toppings like hot fudge, whip cream and jimmies. Also, the old heidi's literally made the world's best brownie sundae and it was huge. The new Heidi's gives you one scoop on a brownie. If you've always gotten a scoop or two and nothing else at the old heidi's then you'll feel like not too much has changed with the new ownership which comes is great. If you like toppings or good sized brownies sundaes, go elsewhere. read more

The waiting in line for 1 window is horrible. They have people inside to make ice creams but only 1 window open....sucks. Not worth the wait read more

It might be the same store but it has new management. Ice cream still tastes great. Really no difference in price but the portion you receive for $3.85 was really embarrassing. It was like a kiddie scoop of ice cream. read more

If I could climb to the top of a mountain and yell anything of choice, it would be "I love Heidi's ice cream!!" Each time I go, I end up slipping on my drool. And if that description doesn't do it for you, then perhaps this will: Their selection of flavors is endless. You want almond joy? They got it. Birthday cake? You betcha. And if their selections aren't enough, then their portions certainly are. I mean, a small is HUGE! Watching your figure? Then try the frozen yogurt-- you won't even know the difference! After eating at Heidi's, you will never think about ice cream the same way ever again. I'm not lying when I say that it is life changing. I mourn for all of you that are missing out if you are lactose intolerant, but I will gladly eat a scoop for you! read more

Oh my god. The best ice cream ever. We happened across this little ice cream joint en route to Edaville Trains, from Cambridge, and boy are we ever glad. So creamy! I still dream happily of the peppermint stick ice cream. My sweetie still waxes poetic about the buttery almond crunch... go eat it, right now. especially, if you're in the area. even if you're not, it's a picturesque drive. read more

This place is one of my favorite on the south shore. With a million different flavors to choose from, you really can't go wrong here. The portions are huge, the prices aren't bad, and the service is quick. I love the ambience of the place as well. It is a little old-fashioned with a bunch of tables around. There's the antique shop which gives it a homey vibe as well. I used to play ski-ball as a kid here. It's really a great place to take the family. My favorite flavor is the Nestle Toll House cookie dough. Seriously, there's a piece in every bite. Gotta get back here! read more

Toll house Cookie Ice Cream! If you haven't heard of it, you are not alone. I just had my 1st encounter last night and and soooo thrilled like I went on a great date with it. My friend lives 2 minutes from here and she brought me here last night, she said it was better then peaceful meadows and now I know why. She insisted I get the Broken Cookie Sundae with the toll house cookie ice cream. Boy o Boy is it humongous but so good you do not want to share. They use one of there huge, delicious freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and surround the sundae with this. I will definitely be returning to try other flavors and pick up some cookies to go. read more

Ok tbh i could care less about ice cream (gasp!) MOST of the time....but when I crave it, I craaaaave it, and it better be good. This place has great service, atmosphere, prices and product here. Snickers is my fav ice cream and not everyone has it, but they do here! . Small snickers cone with JIMMIES....so good read more

Women owned and operated by...they make me proud to have such gutsy young women keeping a wonderful place perfect! Kids have loved Heidi's for over 20yrs! read more

Best ice cream and service around! They even have non-dairy (coconut milk) ice cream...yummy!

Heidis is amazing! The new owners are fantastic and really care about their customers and it shows. It's not easy to take over a small business in a pandemic so kudos to them! Female owned too! We love Heidis!!!! read more

The ice cream is the same but the service is terrible. Old Heidis took your order and same person brought it back. Now they take your order and then you wait for someone to make it. It would be quicker to go to Richardson's ice cream in Middleton. I live in Hanson and miss the service of the old store! Own each order start to finish! read more

So lucky to have such an amazing ice cream place so close. Super cute environment, everyone is beyond friendly, and the antique shop gives you something to do while you eat your ice cream! You'll never regret coming here. read more

In mid 2014, we moved to the area. It was summer time, so the quest for ice cream was on in full effect. We'd been to the big chain places (I still love Dairy Queen) as well as some of the smaller local spots. Prior to coming across Heidi's, my go to spot was Peaceful Meadows. Now it's Heidi's (unless I was to see the moo-cows). The outside of the building is like something you'd see on American Pickers in that they have a wide variety of classic/antique decor. On the outside they have the old-fashioned giant ice cream cone as their signage. On the building itself is a large Flying A sign. Inside there are also relics from the past. Thing of it is, it doesn't come across as cheesy and confused, but homey and welcoming. You feel like you're walking into a friend's grandparents' home. Outside there is some seating and a walk-up window. When you walk in, there's the ordering area to the right, and a small amount of seating to the left. They have a chalkboard with all the flavors and I kind of wish they wouldn't do that. Every time I go in, I get analysis paralysis since I know all the ice cream is delicious. The portion is about the same that you get in places like Cold Stone, but the prices are much easier on your wallet. The staff have always been friendly, polite, and quick with your order. What I love most about Heidi's is they are open year round. So if you are in the area, swing on in for some of the best ice cream of your life. read more

SUCH AN AWESOME PLACE!! The new owners are doing an awesome job and the portions are great!! Prices went up but you truly get more than what you've paid for. Worth the wait in line! read more

We had the khalua brownie and reeces icecreams- delish! portion sizes and prices are pretty standard. Front window a little tough to read because there is a lot going on with the decor and menu. Inside is much easier! If your in Hanson, this place is def worth the trip. Lots of flavors to choose from. read more

Heidi's Hollow Farm - Super yum ice cream! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Hanson, Massachusetts

I think Heidi's in the best little independent ice cream shop on the South Shore and that it is trying to secretly kill everybody. I mean, this place is insane. It has an insane amount of flavors that are insanely good and insanely cheap. Plus, Heidi's is Insanely over the top with its portions. Portion control does not even belong in the lexicon of Heidi's workers and bless their sweet little teenage hearts for that. I think if I ever ordered a large here it'd be like taking a hot shot - there's no way you can survive that much ice cream in one sitting. You'd simply blow up like Violet Beauregarde before keeling over stone dead from such a massive quantity. To wit, my brother and I went here to get a couple of quarts to bring back to the house. First, we wanted black raspberry, but we were told they only had enough for a pint. OK, we said. Well, this strawberry blond girl with a Boston Red Sox cap goes back and starts digging. Sure enough, she fills it to the top of the pint cup. BUT THEN SHE KEEPS ADDING ICE CREAM TO THIS ALREADY TOPPED OFF CONTAINER! Literally, she added almost another half a pint to our "pint" before she turns to a coworker and exclaims with complete sincerity,"Looks like we had just enough for a pint." I shit you not. The cherry on top is the comical addition of a lid to the container; not a lid that's spherical, but it was flat-topped. She just smushed it on top of the overflowing ice cream (which fortunately was rock hard so it was not melting everywhere), where it sat awkwardly like a fat man wearing a bowler hat. She proceeded to do the same with the quart of espresso heath yogurt we ordered. Gave us practically one and a quarter quarts. So very completely and totally over the top. But in such an amazingly awesome way. Anyways, the total was something like eleven dollars and that included the cones and side of jimmies/sprinkles we ordered. We tipped the girl a couple of bucks because she freakin' earned it. As a customer, I'd nominate that girl for ice cream scooper of the year. As a business owner, I'd fire her for such egregious ice cream overkill. The ice cream and yogurt got devoured at home, and we had plenty left over since we'd been given enough to feed a small army. Bottom line - give Heidi's Hollow a chance. It's even worth the drive if you live in Boston. read more

An interesting place that is half ice cream stand and half gift shop, Heidi's features excellent ice cream at reasonable prices and is a real local hangout. The chidren's size is big enough for most people, as it is a full scoop (small is two scoops, and large is three scoops). A nice little place off the beaten path that few people outside of the area seem to know about. read more

Husby grew up around this area and his father used to take him to this place to get ice cream. We took a walk down memory lane and stopped in several weeks ago. There are a large variety of flavours but they were out of my first choice. I think I ended up with snickers and butter pecan in a waffle cone. They certainly give you a ridiculous amount of ice cream at very reasonable prices! I took my enormous cone and sat at one of the dilapidated benches by the parking lot. The ice cream was creamy and tasted very fresh. I remember thinking that it didn't really taste like the flavours I ordered but it was still extremely delicious. I started to get a little sick to my stomach before I could finish the cone because there was so much ice cream. I was a trooper and finished it though. Not as good as Christina's in Inman Square but quite comparable. read more

We were in Hanson for a baseball tournament and stopped by to cool off between games. The building is decorated with American historic memorabilia. It has signs and license plates for siding and the interior is decorated with all types of historic goods. It was great to sit down and look around at all the stuff. American Pickers would have fun here! The ice cream choices were great, they even had some frozen yogurt options that I had not seen before. So I opted for the frozen yogurt mint chocolate chip which was a little lighter and tangier than the regular one, the different types of chocolate chips added a nice texture to the ice cream. LOVED IT! My son had the mint chocolate chip and cookie dough which did not disappoint. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in town. read more

Ice cream was great, inexpensive and yummy! Will have make Heidi's Hollow Farm a favorite!

Just discovered Heidi's so I can only comment on two flavors, but both were out of this world. Coffee Oreo and Moosetracks. The eclectic decor outside was what drew us in, but we'll be back for the delicious flavors and super friendly service! read more
