Nice place to sit and enjoy your ice cream, roomy inside. Loved the flight of ice cream to get to try a variety of flavors. We had the strawberry, black raspberry, dirty chocolate, Mexicali chocolate, lemon poppy and blueberry honey lavender. The lemon poppy was really good and tasted like a muffin would. Also enjoyed the blueberry honey lavender although I didn't really taste the lavender. The Mexicali chocolate had a hint of spice which was great too. Very friendly service.
Oh my goodness, SoCo is the BEST! We were introduced to this absolutely outstanding ice cream shop by our daughters who attend a summer camp in Great Barrington. We had been there previously with them, and then during our recent weekend stay in the Berkshires, we actually visited SoCo THREE times!!!! Yes, we went there every day because it's that good. SoCo has so many unusual flavors like Butter Cake, lemon poppy, and blueberry honey lavender, and my favorite flavor is Silver Bells which contains goat cheese, pistachios, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips. The ice cream ingredients are mostly locally sourced and are all carefully chosen. You can tell the care that is put into SoCo's flavors as they are all so creamy and delicious. The only thing that would make this place better would be homemade waffle cones, but the ice cream is so amazing that I'm still giving them 5 stars. When you go to SoCo, be sure to check out the wall decor where customers have written things they'll always remember and things they wish they had the courage to do. This is a don't miss place in Great Barrington!
The service was excellent, and the staff was very friendly. I loved the ice cream--it's one of the best I've had in Great Barrington, MA. The atmosphere was calm, welcoming, and enjoyable. I had a wonderful experience.
What a gem! Fantastic ice cream flavors. Be sure to take a look at the special flavors - they are not super obvious when you look at the huge menu. The interior is clean and comfortable with chairs inside and out. Nice staff that was helpful and patient. Lots of decisions to be made so I appreciated the patience. Great tasting ice cream. I would definitely recommend it.
A most incredible vegan ice cream flavor. Wow. Espresso chip with espresso. I never had dairy free ice cream this good in my life. Amazing.
Came here after a trip to the Berkshires and this is located in such a cute little quaint town. I got the maple walnut and coconut and it was amazing. The service is fast and friendly and you get to try samples too. There was a super long line but it goes by really fast. Highly recommend if you're ever in the area.
"I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ever have to go?" (Stevie Wonder) One of the prominent features you'll see as soon as you set foot into SoCo Creamery are the "I Wish" cards. There may be 500 of them taped all over the walls from floor to ceiling as though they are wallpaper. Customers are given the opportunity to share their deepest darkest thoughts by completing a note card with these printed words -"I Wish I Had the Courage To". Some responses are funny, "I Wish I Had the Courage to Kill a Spider", while others are quite serious and deal with divorce, coming out, and dysfunctional family relationships. SoCo is an award winning ice cream shop and consistently wins awards as best ice cream scoop shop in western and central Massachusetts. You'll see it included in lots of Massachusetts Top Ten lists. We learned about it from an ice cream article in Yankee Magazine. The store is very cute and it was tough to decide on our ice creams of choice. We each went for a small cup which can include two flavors. My wife combined Almond Joy and Peanut Butter Mudslide and I combined Banana Brownie and Mission Fig. Each cup was $5.50. I really enjoyed my two choices. The banana ice cream was full of flavor and it had plenty of excellent pulverized brownies in there. The Mission Fig was as fantastic as it was unusual. The Mission Figs were "hand-shucked by our production team" and appeared on a Huffington Post '10 Best' flavor list. There was nothing about our experience that wasn't stellar. When you visit, be sure to carve out some extra time to study the Courage Comments written by customers.
Cute ice cream spot! Lots of flavors, although they didn't have certain basic ones most places have like cookie dough or cake batter, etc. Nice employees. Right in the center of town.
Considering we got ice cream here two days in a row I'd definitely say we liked it! They have a nice variety of flavors. Prices are decent and portions are large. I got a kiddie scoop both times and it was plenty! First time I tried the black raspberry chip because I needed non-dairy. It was closer to a sorbet than ice cream. The next day I got the mango sorbet which I preferred. They were fairly busy both times we visited (Mon. afternoon and Tues. evening). They have several tables for you to sit and enjoy your ice cream. While you eat your ice cream you can read all the "I wish I had the courage to" papers that customers wrote.
Before we left for our Berkshires vaca, a friend who used to live up there insisted we had to try SoCo Creamery, and she was absolutely right. Stunning flavors! We sampled the strawberry rhubarb and Spanish olive oil and rosemary. Wish there was a SoCo on Long Island!!!
The people, ice cream, and just to camaraderie around here is awesome!! They have tons of memos I wish I had the courage to, and my greatest desire is. It's really awesome to see what other people are thinking and what they have written.

I read the reviews and saw that the honey lavender blueberries was mentioned many times. So I ordered for myself and was interesting. We got mixed feeling for it as hubby thinks it tasted I soap, but I really enjoy the unique taste I never tasted before. But do prepare tat the lavender is very apparent over powering the blueberries and honey. Hubby ordered yhe cold brew chocolate chip. If you love coffee, order this. Strong coffee flavor with a really nice texture of the chocolate chips. I enjoyed the chocolate chips. It just taste really good. Dear son had the strawberry his favorite choice for everything. It didn't not disappoint. There was bits of strawberry. Didn't not taste like artifical strawberry taste. I love them all. Lol If you are around the Berkshire, stop by after lunch or dinner and you will not disappoint. I glad we made a detour back after tubing. read more
An absolute top notch artisan ice creamery I've only been once, but wish there more locations closer to me or that I may have an opportunity to go back! They have so many unique flavors that are so well done. I wasn't sure how I would feel about something like basil, which is normally used in savory cooking, but the lemon basil flavor was shockingly good. Black raspberry was also delicious; very smooth texture and refreshing taste. read more

Passed by this place and looked like a nice little icecream shop. Walked and had a very friendly staff. Boy they had a lot of different flavors and they looked yummy. The icecream I found was very creamy and had very good flavor. The kids also seemed to really like it. I won't lie I have definitely had better but I think for sure this place was very good. Maybe the next time around will try a couple other flavors. read more

SoCo is definitely a premium Berkshire ice cream spot. I've seen their ice cream in supermarkets before but never knew that it was from this area until visiting. We had the Berkshire Fog, which had lavender and tea notes while still being super creamy and flavorful. The texture is somewhat in between a gelato and hard ice cream. We came on a weekend so the whole street was closed off to traffic and it was nice to sit on the street. Great ice cream! read more

Unique flavors, huge portions, lively inspiring interior, and long lines compose the experience at SoCo Creamery. I went for the Dirty Chocolate in a kids size cone. Holy-moly! That was the largest kid size portion I've ever seen in my life. The kid size is priced at about $4 followed by a regular size at $5. The dirty chocolate was not quite as chocolatey and creamy as I would expect, but it's ice cream and how can you not like it! read more
WOW. This ice cream is amazing! Came here during a trip to the Berkshires from NYC. Really extensive options with flavors and some pretty unique ones. I got a cone with the blueberry honey lavender and lemon poppy scoops! Both flavors were fantastic. The lavender and lemon flavors were both just the right amount, nothing too overpowering. The ice cream was super smooth and you could legitimately taste the icy texture. Still dreaming about this ice cream! read more

The ice cream was wonderful, and there were tons of non-dairy options for my lactose intolerant wife. I also really enjoyed our server, who offered opinions and samples as we decided between several of their inventive offerings. Really nice spot! Nothing to really complain about. read more
