The best spot for ice cream! We are always happy with our ice cream after a trip to Rota's. A personal favorite is the graham central station -- It's a graham cracker based ice cream with chocolate crunch candy. It's so good! Service is usually teens and they are all so kind and hardworking. We have always had a pleasant experience. read more

Waited in one of two ridiculously long lines for 15 minutes. In that time we only saw ONE person who received ONE ice cream cone. After seeing the lines not move for 15 minutes, we bagged it and went to a homemade ice cream place (which was also very busy) that served at least a dozen people in less than five minutes. Rota Spring Farm operates at a ridiculously slow if not a dead stop pace. No thank you. read more

The best ice cream around!! When I lived outside of Massachusetts, I missed this ice cream spot the most. I love seeing the cows and enjoying the farm atmosphere while I eat amazing ice cream! read more

Had Java lava - nice strong coffee flavor, the chocolate covered toffee pieces were great when they were small, but a lot of them were big chunks that weren't very enjoyable. The ice cream was harder than some other places, yet melty on the exterior, wasn't super easy to scoop. And had the blueberry crisp sundae with Maine blueberry ice cream. The crisp was good but too hot, the ice cream melted so fast; no one likes melted ice cream. Long lines but a lot of picnic tables, grassy areas and goats. read more

I've been going there for ever since I was small they have store for shopping food drinks using real milk for ice cream from cows seen on property and just great toppings live just down from their so I go when open from March to early winter wish all time I could go but no also the last thing my Grampy ate with me was blackberry ice cream from Their thanks for the memories with him he loved it! read more

Ordered a chocolate frappe. When I took a sip, I didn't know what the flavor was. I asked my wife to take a sip and tell me what she thought the flavor was. She didn't know either. I never ever had a tepid ice cream frappe before in my life. I ended up dumping it out. Nearly $10.00 wasted. Worst warm ice cream ever. At least I still have my health because I threw the drink away! Won't be going there again! read more

I'm visiting Boston and this place was amazing!!! We loved it. The ice cream was so good. The service was great everyone was friendly and helpful. And the view was amazing. If we could we would've stayed all day and ate our life's fill of ice cream read more

The service was excellent and it's a beautiful place to enjoy and ice cream. And the flavors are good. However, I have been to Rota's a few times before, I don't know if I've never noticed, or if something changed. But their ice cream and sorbet is very "stretchy". I personally got the sorbet and when I went to scoop it from the cup, the sorbet stretched like melted cheese. So I tried my husbands and daughters ice cream and theirs did that same. It just seemed like a very odd consistency. read more

Our friends said this was the best ice cream ever, so we had to try it. I had to admit that it is excellent. Very creamy and delicious. To say it is the best requires extensive testing that I would have done in my younger days but I find the claim difficult to argue against now. I had the coconut almond bar which was very good. I am sure it is made with Mounds bars in vanilla ice cream. One change I would make is add chocolate chips that are a bit thicker. That's a minor point. read more

Happened upon this quaint farm by accident, but it won't be my last visit. The ice cream selection is impressive. I tried out banana, and it was a generous portion and delicious. The service was a little slower than I would have liked, but very friendly. Next visit, I will take the time to peruse the farm stand. read more

Generous portions of rich ice cream (softball sized scoops, legit) served by patient, kind teens that will encourage you to sample flavors. So many flavor options, and more blended beverages than just the standard shake (they call them frappes). We enjoyed our ice cream whilst watching the many calves frolic in the field on the farm, complete with a little stream and some goats. So cute! The peach ice cream had a nice base flavor of peach & bits of peach throughout. The chocolate chocolate crunch chip is a chocolate base with the chocolate crunch (often found in an ice cream cake) and the chips are thick flakes of fudge. It's down some winding roads that allow for wonderfully deep breaths of clean, "green" air scented with honeysuckle. We went at 6 pm on a July evening & the cool breeze at the end of a summer day was delightful. Great way to pass an evening! read more

The ice cream is always delicious. Portions are always huge. I enjoy checking out the farm store as well. They have lots of cows they're cool to watch while enjoying an ice cream read more

I love going to Rota every summer. We make at least one trip. On Monday, we were there and the ice cream was really quite weird. It was goopy and had the most offensive texture. Like it wouldn't melt in the sun. My kids said the same thing so I know it wasn't just me. Ugh! I hate giving this review because I love it there so much! read more

Never going back here. Worst customer service ever. Long line and no one was being helped. I could see at least 5 employees walking around doing nothing. Someone came to the window and asked if they could help someone then they disappeared. I am honestly surprised the rest of the people in line put up with that nonsense. read more

What comes to mind when you think of ice-cream? That's right, goats. These doe eyed cud-chewers just scream frozen delights, don't they? And Rota Springs has no shortage of these marble shaped dung-droppers. Rota, as us locals call it, is a diabetic's Disneyland the likes of only Willy Wonka could have imagined. The smooth creamy richness, the veritable cornucopia of flavors, the sweet waft of hot cow-pies freshly dropped in the nearby pasture; what more could you possibly ask for? Hey, and if you go a bit later in the evening, you might just get lucky enough to have a pint of blood drawn from jurassic sized mosquitoes while everyone stands around and awkwardly decides which line they are in. Not for nothing, blood loss and steamy cow-pies aside, the product is actually the best around! 5 stars - highly recommend. read more

Rota Spring Farm - Their 6" meatball sub. Not very good and $9. My first and last one. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sterling, Massachusetts

We came here for the ice cream and it's always great to have an outside perspective since one party member was surprised to see the size of the scoops. There are so many flavors to choose from, debated about Pumpkin Oreo per suggestion of the staff but since I was watching my weight/gluten I thought to choose Maple Walnut since up in New England but my eyes caught a glimpse. She let me try a sample and I definitely went for the Coconut Almond! Yum! My daughter who inherited her dad's dairy issue was able to order sherbet! She was happy to have choices. The store adjacent had great prices on produce and meat. Grassfed beef and organic kale. read more

Rota Spring Farm - a cup of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sterling, Massachusetts

Great ice cream, nice setting. Don't be daunted if the line is long, it moves quickly.

Recently got a small cup of ice cream. Supposed to be 2 scoops of ice cream. It was more like 2 half scoops of ice cream It was a peach ice cream. It more like chipped ice than ice cream. It was terrible. I had to throw it away. Plus searver didn't have a good attitude. Another time I. Bought beef in the store. That was horrible. Won't be going there anymore read more

Was out biking around the reservoir and saw signs for Rota Spring Farm. Definitely worth the 2 mile detour (1 mile each way from the reservoir)! I had the wild Maine blueberry and the maple walnut. Huge serving and absolutely delicious. I was very pleased to see the staff and all patrons wearing masks and distancing respectfully. No eating in the premises for now, which also totally makes sense given the circumstances. We will be back soon! read more

Cows and ice cream what else can you ask for? Some of the best tasting ice cream I've ever had and such huge portions.

My husband and I visited this ice cream stand on our vacation recently. It was so great to be able to see the cows and and sit on the hill with our ice cream just taking in the beautiful scenery. The ice cream is a bit on the almost too sweet side for me but my husband loved it. Its def super dense and creamy, great texture. If you really tryley want a small portion, make sure you ask for a single scoop. I asked for a small and got 2 huge scoops that probably equaled a full pint of ice cream! Def huge portions. They also have a petting zoo with goats out back! Super cute, great ice cream and great place to go whether you're with friends, family or wanna stop for a unique dessert place on a date. read more
