An ice cream shop that's inside! Very unique atmosphere with plenty of flavors to choose from. My favorite flavor is dire wolf tracks but you can't go wrong with any of them! Staff is super friendly and what I love is if you eat there, it's served like you're at a diner! Plenty of seating inside and a few seats outside. Love this place!
The Keep is insanely delicious. Located in a convenient strip mall I have always enjoyed going in for a small scoop. The inside is medieval themed and the addition of free water is always welcomed at ice cream places. The girls who scoop the ice cream are incredibly kind and accommodating if you'd like to try a flavor, of which there are plenty. Many ice creams are made in house which leads to high quality and interesting flavors. I've tried the ooey gooey and blueberry cheesecake. My favorite is the ooey gooey as the cream cheese ice cream base is sweet but tangy and the butter cake is perfectly done. The blueberry cheesecake had a nice mascarpone base but I felt the toppings needed a little more flavor to be perfect. Definitely try all the flavors though! My only complaint is the goblets they serve the ice cream in- they don't have sides which makes scooping the ice cream a challenge. However, this is still a 5/5 place!
This place was interesting. It was packed even though they were about to close. Very dated "grandmas livingroom" decor/aesthetic. There's a lot of talking a movement going on around the ice cream which I did not like. All the employees are highschool girls. They look like apart of a volleyball team. Very short volleyball shorts they all wore. Lots of older men tipping getting ice cream without kids or families. I'm thinking it must be delicious! It was mid. Cold Stone tastes better. Me and my friend were just passing by and I wanted ice cream so I didn't think much of it. I'm not sure where we were or what the neighborhood was. Literally the only thing of color for miles was the chocolate ice cream. Not a diverse area whatsoever and the staff and patrons show it, which is fine. Hey, what's not for you is not for you, but I did feel out of place and stood out like a sore thumb. I will say when I got to the counter, the young lady that served me was very nice even though she was busy she allowed me to taste a few things and gave recommendations. I forgot what I settled on. It was not cheap and I also tipped the girls $5. I remember working fast food in highschool. I don't miss it. They seem to be having fun though. Overall, the ice cream was not unique. It's giving popularity for another reason.
Found this great place by accident in Cumberland!! Such a creative space for an homemade ice creamery! Game of tyrines , dungeons @ dragons kinda theme with an actual round table room you can play board games while you eat. The ice cream is great and they give great size portions!! It's smells so good the minute you walk in. Plenty of help at the counter & they are all super nice! Definitely worth trying if you're an ice cream lover :) right next door to Chops too .
Don't sleep on the Keep!!!! This is the best ice cream I have ever had, and I've had a lot Everything is homemade from the cookie dough in the ice cream to the blueberry cheesecake to the chocolate crunchies to the carrot cake It's a little pricey but you definitely get your moneys worth in size and quality This is how you do ice cream Once you come here everywhere else is just inferior!!!
This is a long overdue review for The Keep's ice cream! My first visit ever was during their last weekend of the 2022 season, and it's a national tragedy that I have to wait until they reopen for the 2023 season later in spring. The TLDR is that their homemade ice cream is amazing, they have a zillion toppings to choose from, and you can even combine scoops if your debating between flavors! The team behind the counter was so nice and patient with me when I told them it was my first visit. They let me sample a bunch of flavors--which normally makes it easier to decide...but in this case it didn't because they were all so good! I landed on combining two flavors: the Honey Bee and the Game of Cones. The Honey Bee is a honey ice cream with generous chunks of a crunchy house-made honeycomb that melts in your mouth and is unlike anything else I've ever tried. So much so that I still remember it months after the fact! The Game of Cones is a riff on Americone Dream with chocolate covered waffle cone pieces swirled throughout. I added chocolate chips on top because why not? Counting down the days until they reopen in the spring!!
Great location, great ice cream!! I love ice cream so much and this hit the spot! Lots of flavors to try and they let you sample which I love and appreciate! The small was a generous portion so be hungry!
Awesome experience! It's great to be waited on by people that share the same enthusiasm for as you do. After many recommendations from friends, we decided to give it a try. I ordered a 2 scoop 1st flavor Tiramisu and 2nd the Biscoff cookie butter. Both fantastic! Add some PB topping and what seems like is the coolest topping of the summer so far, Strawberry shortcake crumble was on top! Cool place with inside & outside seating. They even have games you can play inside We will be back!! read more

We love the Keep! Delicious homemade ice cream on Mendon Rd in Cumberland. It's open seasonally and has great high quality ice cream! So fun and interesting flavors - but always the basics. The staff and service is friendly and fast! The line was out the door on Mother's Day! It's a cute little shop to hang out and enjoy your ice cream there! Worth the stop! read more

OMG I really should of listened to the reviews and got a kiddie size. I got the 1 scoop in a waffle cone and it was huge, I could not finish it. I got the chocolate creme pie and it was delicious. If you don't LOve chocolate avoid this because it's really rich. I went during COVID-19 so we couldn't really sit inside and the outside area was already being used. I popped my trunk and just sat there ( I have an suv), nice quiet area. I would visit again for sure! read more

Fabulous homemade ice cream and treats. You will be satisfied If you're ordering a sundae, just go for the one scoop "small". The scoops are the size of softballs and a two scoop sundae is huge! And make sure to try the hot fudge, which will remind you of the old Brigham's Ice Cream Shop's hot fudge (if you're old enough to remember Brigham's). read more

What a super cute game of thrones themed ice cream place. I got the signature honey bee ice cream with local honey comb in it and it was delicious! I loved the crunch of the little bits of cone and the ice cream was so smooth. My partner got the tiramisu and she loved it as well. We loved the decor and it was so fun to eat out of an old fashioned metal ice cream cup. The only reason for four stars was I tried a sample of the butter crunch- which was butterscotch with toffee and it was way too sweet. read more
Amazing amazing amazing. Now I am extremely picky about my icecream places. I live and breath icecream. I eat it for dinner most weeks. I am from Cumberland and have never been into the local places and I usually head over to Swansea for homemade hard icecream or lincoln for soft serve. Well no more! The keep meets all expectations. I love the decor. The theme looks amazing. So detailed, they even did the ceiling all fancy. Clearly taking pride in their establishment, this I love. Now the icecream. Two scoops in a waffle cone was soooooo much. Maybe just one scoop next time. The coffee was great and the cookie dough was good. It could use more dough but honestly, can't it always?! The staff was great. Gave us plenty of time to look the flavors over and joking around with us. All I can say is GO HERE for your icecream needs!!!!! read more

Homemade ice cream?! What's not to love. I have learned my lesson, always order the smallest portion when it comes to ice cream. I ordered a kiddie sized portion of blueberry cheesecake and it was AMAZING, perfectly hit the spot. Tons of amazing options, vegan, soft serve, by the cone or pint. It's so adorably decorated as well. I'm a sucker for midevil themed places. read more
