When you walk in you are hit with nostalgia, it is such a cute ice cream shop. Very classic and old school vibes. There were so many families and people enjoying their treats it just put me in the best mood. The menu can be a little bit overwhelming but in a good way. They have so many options to choose. I decided on a hard ice cream although I love soft serve. I chose a fun seasonal flavor, Rabbit Stew. YUM! I definitely will be forcing my boyfriend to drive 20 minutes to come back here for another treat. Definitely a gem in downtown Wakefield!

Only one finally acknowledged me at counter. Other 4 not sure what they working? I order a large sundae which said 3 scoops. I ordered sweet cream and Twix flavors.

Hot fudge, whipped cream hid the table spoon scoops. Wasn't impressed at all for 10 bucks... I won't return .

This casual…read moresandwich and ice cream shop offers a variety of signature made to order deli sandwiches, create your own sandwiches, bag chips, snacks, cold cooler drinks, hard scoop ice cream (cups & cones), sundaes, floats, frappes, and freezes. The pricing is moderate here and they also offer DoorDash delivery. The place is order at the counter and there is table seating along the wall and front windows, plus a gumball machine. I ordered the fan favorite Turkey Apple Cheddar ($12 plus tax) making it Fat Larry-Double Meat (add $2) which was made to order promptly and wrapped to go. The sandwich had plenty of deli sliced roast turkey, cheddar cheese, romaine lettuce, apples, mayo, & an onion fig jam between toasted marble rye (my choice of bread). This sandwich was amazing and I will have to also try out their other sandwiches on my next visits to Fat Larry's.

Kennedy's is the real deal: a Melrose gem…read more I took my two sons to Kennedy's for the first time recently, and I can already tell this is going to become a weekly tradition. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was exactly what you want from a neighborhood ice cream shop: friendly, unpretentious, and completely focused on making great ice cream. The star of my visit? The Nutella Stackable. I almost went with something safer, but I'm so glad I didn't. Layer after layer of rich, velvety Nutella ice cream, it was indulgent in the best possible way and tasted like they somehow captured the essence of Nutella and made it even better. My boys were eyeing it the entire time, which is the highest compliment I can give. Speaking of the boys, they were immediately at home here. The staff was patient and cheerful while two excited kids deliberated for what felt like forever, and the portions were generous enough that everyone left completely satisfied. No small feat with those two. Kennedy's has the feel of a place that's been done right: quality ingredients, a welcoming atmosphere, and people behind the counter who clearly take pride in what they're serving. Melrose is lucky to have it!

The prices are on the higher side for a local spot and they appear to serve Gifford's and a variety of ice cream products from different suppliers. The variety is worth the visit if you're in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way. It's a busy shop, expect a line especially on weekends. My main complaint was how long it took to order, I came in with a friend and there were 3 groups in front of us but we waited 25 minutes. I understand it was busy but they seemed short staffed having to juggle the walk up window and the line inside the shop.

Anyway, the cream and the various flavors were incredibly fresh and creative -- you can tell that J.P. cares about the quality of ingredients that are in his ice cream at his ice cream shop. Gurl, I had two scoops of gluten free "Infused White Coffee Chunk" ice cream lumped atop my sugar cone. Yummers, Dr. Franklin. This ice cream was savory -- even after opting for a gluten free version of da chilly cream that melts when we lick it.  The staff was genuinely friendly + cool, patient with all of my sampling requests (eek! so many -- lolol), and happy to make recommendations. The shop itself felt bright, welcoming, and full of GEWWD energy. The footprint of the shop itself is a smidge squish -- so if you have claustrophobic tendencies, Arthur, just beware. OK?

There were so many ice cream flavors, coffee floats, Italian ice, an ice cream flight, and other fun options to choose from! It quickly became our favorite spot. Unfortunately, it also quickly became a spot we won't be going to anymore. They keep changing what their vibe/brand is. Since opening less than a year ago, they've been three things. They've also changed their hours but not updated it with Google, so we had shown up several times when they were "open" to find they were actually closed. This was such a disappointment. They also posted to their social media stating "Saturday nights" at 6:30 pm, with people in the video, giving the impression they were open when they actually close at 5pm on Saturday? This is misleading and confusing. The menu has changed drastically a few times, with no more Italian ice, way less ice cream flavors, and no more fun ice cream options. We'd love to see them go back to their original vibe/brand and hours, but that seems unlikely.
