Needham Junction Ice Cream is a small seasonal ice cream shop located right by the train station, and it has a classic neighborhood feel that makes it a natural stop during the warmer months. We walked up to a simple, casual setup that is more of a quick stop for a treat rather than a place to sit and spend a long time, but the location adds a little extra charm with trains passing by while you enjoy your cone. The shop is compact and unpretentious, the kind of place that feels rooted in the community. The biggest highlight for us was the portion size and value. The servings are generous for the price, especially compared to many other ice cream shops where portions can feel smaller. The ice cream itself is satisfying, with a creamy texture and flavors that cover the classics without trying to reinvent the wheel. We appreciated the variety of regular ice cream options, which gave us enough choices to find something that fit our mood. The soft serve selection is a little more limited, so we would not come specifically expecting a huge range of soft serve combinations, but the regular ice cream options make up for it with their quality and portion size. The shop can get crowded during busy summer evenings, especially when families and people from the neighborhood stop by. Since it is a smaller setup, the line can build up quickly, but the service moves along at a reasonable pace. The staff handled the steady flow efficiently, and even with a queue, the wait did not feel excessive. Parking and the surrounding area can also feel a little hectic during peak times, so walking over or visiting during a quieter time can make the experience easier. The train passing by adds a nice sense of place, and the outdoor seating, though limited, gives you a spot to enjoy your treat before heading off. Needham Junction Ice Cream is a fun local spot that delivers exactly what you would expect from a neighborhood ice cream stand. The combination of good portions, fair pricing, and the train station atmosphere makes it a nice summer stop, even if the soft serve options are not as extensive as some other places. It is the kind of place that fits naturally into a warm evening walk or a quick treat after a day out. read more

Decided to try out this spot, had the black raspberry and campfire s'mores flavor and they were great! Good amount of ice cream for the price. The black raspberry had good notes of raspberry flavor to it - a little bit sweet and a little bit tart, very refreshing on a hot summer day. Then the campfire s'mores was great! It tasted exactly like s'mores but in ice cream form, marshmallow and chocolate and a bit a a graham cracker flavor to it. They don't have much outdoor seating however as it is next to a train station. read more

terrible. They forgot my cone. don t recommend. awful service. don't come! I am never coming back. Terrible ambience

My friend looked up ice cream on Yelp after dinner and suggested we go here. On our way in the car, looking at the three pictures on Yelp I was highly skeptical. (The photos were of a parking lot and a blurry photo of the menu)Three minutes after arriving as the only group there, a line of people formed. I wasn't planning on getting anything but I decided to get a cup of cookie dough ice cream since so many people were voting with their feet-and I was pleasantly surprised. We decided the photos on Yelp weren't doing this place Justice so spent about 20 minutes trying to take the perfect group photo. A solid spot to satisfy your sweet tooth. read more

Delicious ice cream for an even better price! Can't wait to take my children's children here when I grow old!

Really nice old man runs the shop. I tend to always judge an ice cream joint by two things, the quality of the mint chocolate chip ice cream and their waffle cones. Well this place has a 5/5 for the mint chocolate chip ice cream and a 3/5 for the waffle cones, they only have those sugar waffle cones, not the real nice and hearty ones you get other places. Didn't get a chance to go in because it was later but they're open decently late, really great prices,( seven bucks for two medium ice creams). They also had a pretty good variety of different treats.. including ice cream pizza? YUM. Only downfall was the lack of flavors for the hard ice cream, but i tried some of the soft serve and it was phenomenal. All in all i will be back here, just make sure to bring cash and get there early because the place is always mobbed by little tweens and families in the summertime. CASH ONLY. read more

The good. Ice cream is pretty standard. I think it's a typical soft serve mix. Nothing special but a good location. The bad. Interior coffee shop seating is dirty and smells. Hasn't been cleaned in years. read more

The ice cream and soft serve are amazing my favorite is the twist the only place to go to for ice cream...Only wish they had frozen yogurt soft serve twist! read more

Had a very good experience. Price was very reasonable. Went with 4 other family members and got out for under $20. We had ice cream, soft serve and frozen yogurt between all of us. Every one was happy with their selections and we would definitely go back. CASH only!!!!! read more

Last fall, I drove up Junction Street to check out the train station and noticed this cool little ice cream shop. It's located in the train station ticket office, and is open in the spring to fall. They have a full selection of Ronnie's Slush and Ice Cream (both soft and hard), from Bliss Bros in Attleborough. They have sundaes, flurries, ice cream pizza, brownie sundaes, and so much other delicious treats! Additionally, the staff are overly happy and energetic, yeah... it gets sort of annoying, but it's better than people being rude! They are very efficient and competent even when the lines get really long. There are lots of places to sit and eat along Junction and there is lots of parking in the lot and along Junction as well. Everything is delicious here, and not overly expensive.... about $4 for an average ice cream or slush. My one complaint (-1 star) is the selection of flavors. It is somewhat small and they only have soft serve chocolate and soft serve vanilla, while they have a bunch of other different hard serve flavors. It would be preferable to have both vanilla and chocolate in hard and soft serve, as they are classics. Pretty good ice cream spot in Needham. 4 stars. read more

I LOVE this ice cream shop! The service is incredibly friendly, and I was even there to witness one of the girls rescue an old man that fell. Besides the service, the ice cream is amazing. Mint chocolate chip and salted caramel chocolate pretzel flavors are a little taste of heaven! Favorite thing to do while I wait for the T! read more
