Stopped by for ice cream of course! The staff was super friendly and patient while we reviewed the EXTENSIVE selection of flavors. I went Black Raspberry Oreo and Birthday Cake, I know that's an odd combo but it was very good. Husband had the Fluffanutta, so nostalgic! Ice cream is VERY creamy and tasty. We ate in at one of the inside tables. read more

Great ice cream selection delicious. Play a room sit and relax and enjoy your ice cream and plenty of ice cream parking.

FANTASTIC ice cream! I got the coffee heath bar and my husband got the raspberry Oreo. The hot fudge is phenomenal. And the owner is sooo nice . read more

We got our daughter's ice cream cake from Meletharb and couldn't be happier! She got to choose her flavors, the inside candy, and the colors for the little bobbles on top of the cake. The cake tasted amazing and was easy to warm up enough to eat without melting too fast. Now that we had the cake we're frequent patrons and love everything we've tried. A personal favorite is Almond Biscotti, a unique flavor I haven't seen anywhere else and cannot get enough of! If you're looking for something a little different but will absolutely taste amazing, check out Meletharb! read more

Awesome ice cream and ice cream cakes. The sweet cream ice cream is the best ! Love this place.

My wife heard about Meletharb and we decided to give it a try. It's in a little strip mall right on Lowell Street, easy to find. There are some tables available to eat inside. The ice cream is very good and some of the flavors are not your run of the mill ice cream shop. Service was quick and friendly; the downer was the size of the serving. Another ice cream shop in Bedford serves the same two scoops for a little more and it dwarfs Meletharb's cone. I saw in another review that the owner of Cal's got his start here. That makes sense as their servings are undersized by comparison as well. I'm glad we tried it, but, there's more bang for the buck to be had elsewhere. read more

Excellent homemade ice cream. That the owner of Cal's creamery got his start here should tell you something.

Cannolli ice cream cake is the best. I'm usually a carvel ice cream cake kinda girl, but what they did here . Lordt Have Mercy

I was introduced to Meletharb by a good friend who lives in the area and considers it an institution in his family. Well now, I completely understand why. OMG this ice cream is good! Arguably one of the best in this part of the state. They have great flavor selections, and it is just the perfect consistency. Great service, the price was right - what more could you want! His only advice to us was to try the sweet cream flavor, and boy was he right. Make sure you get at least one scoop of that one to compliment your cone! We can't wait to come back (again and again and again!). read more

Good ice cream... little pricey.. but worth it lots of good options.. man I wish I was not lactose intolerant.. I went with a sherbet.. but my boyfriend said the ice cream is good and very rich.. read more

Meletharb Ice Cream - Looking for a place in the way back to the hotel and this place got good ratings.. how ever is a little pricey.. but good - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

Great little icecream place if you are int he area. Lots of inventive flavors and a helpful staff

This is one of those places where the service sucks but you don't care too much because the product is so good. This is delicious, creamy ice cream served by college kids who looked annoyed that you're there. I was overcharged by one guy who doesn't know what he's doing but I didn't realize what happened until I left and I didn't go back to fix it so I'm not going to bash the whole place for that experience. However, I've been here both times I've visited the area and you will get fantastic ice cream with "Ugh, another customer?" vibes. read more

The great reviews are definitely on point. I was wondering why they were so good. I mean it's ice cream - how much better than other places can they be ? I found out why. The homemade ice cream is bomb. Got cookie dough and Kahlua brownie. The Kahlua brownie was amazing. Customer service was fast and friendly. Would 100% return if/when in the area. read more

Fantastic home made ice cream with unusual flavors. Love coming here even if it's a bit out of our way. We've been coming here for years and used to talk to the previous owner all the time. I'm happy that they are still being managed well but I miss the quirky sculptures that were hung around the place. It's rare to find Sweat Cream but they have it. The star flavor is the Baklava. Fantastic and unusual and my wife's favorite. I'm a Muzzy Cup man, the sweet cream base frees up the peanut butter bios to come through amazingly. Of couch my daughter is all over the Nutella flavor. The White Pistachio is another good choice as is the Crazy Swasey. Grapenut is so unusual and I like it. I could go on and on. We usually get something to eat there then bring home a new flavor each to try out. Such a treat. I've never seen such a diverse list of flavors and the thing is they all taste good because they're well thought out pairings. It's like Richardsons is the the big, famous steak house while Meletharb is the small boutiquey restaurant. They're both great but they each have their charm. read more

My daughter only eats frozen yogurt and I was looking for a place that had frozen yogurt Birthday Cakes . I was fortunate to find this beautiful little ice cream shop. You can tell by the decor and storefront that this a family that takes pride in their business. I ordered her cake and it was gorgeous... just like a fairytale.It was exceptionally delicious.I willbe backto try their ice cream. It's a pleasure to shop where you get the quality you pay for. read more

Best homemade ice cream in Wakefield! They have fabulous ice cream birthday cakes that they'll personalize and their pistachio flavor is the best! read more

Best ice cream I have ever had. Very friendly service. Vanilla brownie is a must try.

Amazing nutella ice cream and great service! People are really nice, highly recommend the fluffanutta and nutella, with oreo topping of course. Yay! read more

My life has changed forever. It should be illegal to sell ice cream this good. The stupifyingly amazingly amazing ice cream they create should be on the list of top ten most dangerous substances known to mankind. My waistline doesn't stand a chance. I believe they use wizardry and ancient incantations to create each flavor. Nothing in my life can compare to the pure bliss upon endulging myself with a quart of their Baklava ice cream. Baklava is my favorite desert of all time, but this is like someone took Baklava, stirred it in a witches brew, doused it with dragon essence, cast spells on it under a blue moon, infused it with unspeakable heavenly goodness, turned it into ice cream and now have turned me raving mad with desire. If I had a choice between saving my family from an avalanche or eating a pint of Baklava ice cream, I would happily grab a spoon and dug in while all those ingrates get crushed. My dreams are cursed with the thought of Baklava ice cream. My nightmares are now my dreams. If I ever end up in prison, it will be because I fought someone over their Baklava ice cream. When I get released from prison, the only thing I will want to eat is their Baklava ice cream. My life is complete for Meletharb's Baklava ice cream has reached my lips, and now my gut. Whatever time capsule we make for future generations, please include Baklava ice cream from here. Thank you. read more

Flavors, flavors, flavors! So many cool choices like Almond Boscotti and Baklava ice-cream! Homemade and delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

I've never been here before and decided to stop by because I saw very interesting ice cream flavors. I had the baklava ice cream which was to die for it was perfect!! The girls working there were also so nice and explained everything to me. I had forgotten my purse at the store and called back 5 minutes later to see if it was there and they kept it safe until I went back to grab it. Definitely a great experience overall. read more

Meletharb Ice Cream - Baklava ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

My favorite ice cream- and their whipped cream is the best I've ever had. No one makes a thicker creamier whipped cream, with the perfect amount of sweetness. This is not your run of the mill canned whipped cream you can get anywhere- there's a reason they sell it by the pint. All of their flavors are delicious. I'm obsessed with their whipped cream so a simple Sunday with sweet cream ice cream, salted caramel and whipped cream. Heaven. read more

OMG the most amazing ice cream cake I've ever had! I had read about these babies a long time ago and dropped some hints around my birthday last year - unsuccessfully. So I was a bit less subtle this year (read: demanding) and sure enough my SO delivered. You can customize the cake with your choice of up to 2 ice cream flavors and a few different options for the layer in between. He made a fantastic selection! Chocolate peanut butter cup on the bottom, Oreo cookie crumble middle, vanilla chocolate chunk on top. Soooooooo good. I think the frosting flowers were dark chocolate peanut butter too for an added special touch. This will definitely be the new birthday tradition from here on out! Puts Carvel to shame (and I've been a longtime fan). Highly recommend checking out Meletharbs! read more

Came here after bowling in town we worked up an appetite for sweets! I really enjoyed their ice cream, the mint oreo and coffee oreo as really well made. Just the right mixture of flavors with a really thick creamy texture and the scoops are huge! Really wanted to try more flavors, gotta wait till the next time I'm in town. read more

Most delicious ice cream I have had in awhile!

One of our favorite ice creams spots in the greater Boston area. Totally worth the drive. We love the PB Oreo and crazy Swazey the best! There's always a line when we go, but moves pretty quickly. Places to sit and free water dispenser. They make ice cream cakes and you can get big containers of a favorite flavor which we like to do. read more

We weren't expecting much but we randomly stopped in here. My whole crew thoroughly enjoyed their ice creams. We have always received good service and the ice cream is flavorful and creamy as it should be. Job well done, folks! Please keep it up! read more

Simply the best ice cream place ever, amazingly good hot fudge, ice cream flavors, ice cream cakes, even the whipped cream is better...

Hadn't been there in awhile decided to stop by for a cone. Ordered a kiddie (1scoop) and a small (2 scoops). There honestly wasn't much difference between the 2 cones and the scoops were pretty small. We got them in cones, tried peeling the paper wrapper off, couldn't get it off the bottom third of the cone, ended up tossing them. I will say the ice cream was good but the portions kind of small and for 11 bucks it was disappointing. Too bad but there are other ice cream shops that give you the value for your money. read more

When you say that you are open until 10pm, you should stay open until 10pm. This ice cream spot had come highly recommended to us and after a family emergency, we realized that we weren't far away from it. Our party of three arrived at 9:55 and the "Closed" sign was out and the door was already locked. We stayed there for a moment, thinking that the young women working might see us and open back up, considering that it wasn't yet 10pm. No such luck. We went down the road to JP Lick's instead. read more

This is seriously the best ice cream on the north shore. Period. We've been regular customers since they opened in their original location (i.e., in downtown Wakefield), and the gentleman who opened the shop would always come and sit with our family of 6 at our table. My dad absolutely loved him and the experience he created for our entire family. Now as an adult, with my own family, the tradition continues. Our favorite flavors are Oreo, Sweet Cream, Baklava, and Strawberry. We've get our birthday cakes here every year, too! Two things others have mentioned in their reviews are just par for the course for us: busyness and cost. Yes, there's always a line--which tells you how much *other* folks love Meletharb ice cream, too, but it really does move quickly. And yes, it's expensive, but it's not any more expensive than getting ice cream in an actual brick-and-mortar Ben & Jerry's. Plus, it's worth it to get homemade ice cream, rather than the Richardson's mixes everyone else serves. Those mixes are good, too, but once you try Meletharb's, it's like trying to compare a $10 bottle of wine to the good stuff. To keep costs lower, we typically get two quarts to go of our favorite flavors--which feeds our ice-cream-loving family of four for a few nights and for much less than buying four individual cones. And they'll give you free cones to add to your at-home ice cream extravaganza. So, if you haven't tried Meletharb in Wakefield, you're missing out! read more

Faced with an extra half-hour to bust before our class at TSNY Beantown, I was forced to resort to extreme measures to find a quick filler to-do item. Enter: Yelp Mobile. After a simple yet sumptuous lazy afternoon brunch at City Girl Café, I hunted down a desserterie near the trapeze school; lo and behold, there's Meletharb's with its glowing five stars and scrumptious reviews. Who am I to turn down the opportunity for frozen creamy decadence on a beautiful, sun-drenched Saturday? Meletharb delivers. It's super cute. The flavors for ice cream and frozen yogurt (and various other chilled treats) are arrayed on a modular board to accommodate whatever most current selection of flavors are available. And those options are veritably endless, to suit nearly any palate. I opted for a small (with two scoops) with baklava (innovative!) and goose tracks (mini peanut butter cups in fudge ice cream). My favorite, by far, was the baklava, though. Mildly sweet from the honey, and great flaky, crusty texture from the chopped baklava. Plus, who makes baklava ice cream? Delicious! In fact, it was so good that I dragged the boy back here after TSNY for ice cream sandwiches ($1.30 each!), which were shockingly agreeable after a workout. Now, if anyone can explain to me how the ice cream in the sandwich managed to stay frozen for -easily- the fifteen minutes it took me to polish it off... well, I'll owe you an ice cream sandwich from Meletharb's. read more

This place has the BEST home made ice cream. Ever since trying this place, Ben & Jerry's just doesn't cut it for me. Their vanilla brownie flavor is simply spectacular. read more

Great ice cream cake for my daughters birthday. We get our cakes there for many years. Always Great

This ice cream SLAPS. The flavor selection is unbelievable and so unique. To name a few favorites: crazy Shawzy (Oreo ice cream with gobs of cookie dough and brownie), banana Oreo etc. please consider opening or partnering with an ice cream store near Newburyport it would do amazing!! We continuously drive far to come get ice cream from you. read more

I love trying to say "Meltharb" and making my kids laugh because I can never say it without making a funny face. I have mad cravings for their cannoli ice cream. It's amazing. read more

I highly recommend stopping here. ENJOY!!!! read more
