Ice cream flavors
Jessica J.

It was 8pm and there was a line of 9 people in front of us shivering with barely any shorts on. I then thought, this ice cream must be good if people are waiting outside for it in the cold with no pants on. It was pretty good. Their coffee oreo flavor was just the right amount of coffee with added bits/chunks of oreos. With prices better or comparable to cold stone, I would choose this over cold stone. CASH ONLY

Flavors & other offerings.

First and foremost: the ice cream quality is great. I'm more of an "exciting and unique" type of ice cream girl but when I come here, I choose the Oreo cookie flavor. It's JAMPACKED with cookies and it's just...YUM! They also offer unique sundae options (see photos below & zoom in). S&S is the only shop around who sells flavor burst (bubblegum is my mom's favorite), so that's another reason why we would choose to come here. There are a few reasons I'm giving S&S 3 stars. #1) $4.50 for a 1 scoop KIDDIE size ice cream? Are you freakin' kidding me? 2) cash only is a pain in the ass. I get it, they've never taken credit cards and most likely never will. 3) they aren't the friendliest bunch of employees so that along with the prices, I only come here MAYBE twice a year. All in all, if you're okay with the prices, the ice cream is great and you won't be disappointed. This is just my honest opinion.

Ice cream is good and the staff are nice and ambiance is okay. It gets a little busy during the summer but I think it's worth it

"It's all too much for me to take The love that's shining…read moreall around you Everywhere, it's what you make For us to take, it's all too much" (The Beatles) OK friends, here's a serious question. In all your years of going to restaurants and food stands, have you EVER seen a customer refuse something they ordered because the portion size was too much? Well, I'll willingly put my right hand on a stack of hot fudge cans and swear to the Chocolate Chip gods that I saw such a rare curiosity yesterday at Gibson Brothers Dairy Farm. A guy in front of us ordered a large cup of ice cream, and when the window attendant handed it to him it sure looked like it was the size of a quart container. The shocked customer said, "there's no way I can eat all of this, and I hate to waste food, so can you take some of this back?" Of course, she couldn't take it back, so the guy bravely took away his ice cream, sat at a picnic table with his buddy, and gave it the old college try. Luckily, we didn't order any large portions, just a small soft serve and a small cone. Our order was the culmination of a very long study of the flavors on the menu board, because Gibby's has over 70 types of hard ice cream and over 20 flavors of soft serve. My wife's small cone of banana walnut chocolate chip was immense, and the window attendant told us they use a scoop the size of a softball! The ice cream had plenty of walnuts and chocolate chips but we thought it was light on banana flavoring. I went with a small cup of white chocolate macadamia soft serve. Both of our ice creams ran around $10. Gibson Farms has been in Worcester for 100 years and has become a local institution. There are benches and picnic tables on a deck, and more benches and tables on the lawn to the side of the stand. And how did our friend with the gargantuan cup of ice cream do? Sad to say we saw him toss half of it into a trash can after he hit his limit. So -be advised a "large" is obscenely large, but a helluva bargain for around $6.

The ice cream is excellent, however, the service is terrible. I've been there a few times just…read morehoping that the last time was a one in a million experience. I now keep ice cream and all the toppings at home.
