Treadwell's Ice Cream - Pumpkin Oreo - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

I came here last weekend and the parking lot was almost full. It's not a big lot, but decent for the size of the place. It's super cute and has a lot of options. I came and got a cake/plain cone with a single of chocolate. It was a big size which was impressive. I paid $5.95 which I wasn't mad about after seeing how generous it was. Their chocolate tastes like Dutch milk chocolate which was nice. I would come back again and try them in the spring too. read more

Found me a North Shore classic! Shame it took me this long to find it. Treadwell's Ice Cream most definitely climbs the charts as a fantastic ice cream spot. Fair warning their portions are huge, the flavors are rich and creamy, and the service is wicked friendly and efficient. Quite a long list of flavors for you to pick from. Whether you go for a classic chocolate-vanilla twist, a loaded sundae, or a specialty frappe, you're in for a treat. Bonus points for the clean outdoor seating and nostalgic New England charm. Couldn't help but notice the "No Sugar Added" flavors. The Vanilla & Coffee flavors from this selection had just the right amount of sweetness that we enjoy. Treadwell's is a must-stop for locals and visitors alike. read more

Delicious ice cream! We stopped here randomly looking for ice cream. My daughter saw the sign and we got in at 8:55, right before closing (lucky)! My kids got the Cookie Monster and the small waffle cone--they were still huge! My sister got the peach (seasonal) and she said it was delish! I got the pistachio and it was bomb. They have a eating area and even though it was cold out, it was still a nice area to sit and enjoy the ice cream and not worry about making a huge mess (it does melt if not eaten fast enough kids lol). The service was very friendly and quick. Highly recommend! read more

I love coming here.the servers are friendly and helpful. The ice cream is very good and I think you should go here

Just got two soft serve ice creams. A vanilla and chocolate/vanilla. They were terrible. Very icy. Not creamy in the least. Would not recommend for soft serve. read more

I love ice cream. Ice cream served in the northern part of America is much better quality and quantity than down south. We shared a cup of heavenly hash and peanut butter Oreo. The heavenly hash was a bit soft for our liking but the taste was there. We really enjoyed the Oreo peanut butter. The young lady who took our order was very sweet. Once you get your ice cream there are tables outside in which to sit. I'd go here often if I lived near. read more

very rude employee gave me attitude when I asked if I could get two different flavors in my slushy she what 17 times the music was blaring my eardrums were hurting they messed up my order big time!!!! i asked for blue vanilla and rainbow I did not get the rainbow. I got red, white and blue. I did not get blue vanilla. I got blue raspberry a very big difference.i DO NOT recommend this place also the straw they gave me was distroyed read more

Best ice cream there is! Out of any food in the world my favorite is the s'mores ice cream. Seriously if I had to pick my last meal it would be treadwells ice cream. It's sooo good! Have tried lots of flavors and never disappointed. Well I start to get sad when I get to the end of my cup and there's no more to eat. read more

The best ice cream in Massachusetts! Whenever we're in Boston, I make sure to make the trip here. I always order the sugar-free coffee ice cream. It never disappoints. read more

Holy cow, the Best Ice Cream ever!! Visiting from Carson City Nevada. Went to check out Salem and passed by this gem and turned around to give it a try, so glad I did because it was the best! Had the rasberry truffle and it was amazing! Made a mistake of ordering a large, (on the west coast the large is a size of a child's small here)! I was shocked to see the large was a giant, but so glad because it was sooooo good! This place is FANTASTIC! read more

Eh. The ice cream is way too sweet yet somehow flavorless at the same time. I'm not sure why dad started going here, as he used to hate this place. We were more of a Hobb's or Mister Softee family. I figured I'd try this place because it'd been years since I visited, and I was unimpressed. I'll stick to my usuals. read more

Treadwell's Ice Cream - Heath bar with crunch coat - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

Wow, I've tried quite a few North Shore ice cream places and this one was just as good as the rest. HUGE variety of flavors, classic outdoor seating with lots of happy kids and families. I got a small Raspberry Truffle (chocolate based with raspberry swirl and little chunks of fudge) and my friend got small S' mores (graham cracker ice cream (!) with chocolate chunks and marshmallow swirl). Both were Ah-may-zing and, as most everyone else has said, a kiddie might have been a more realistic size. Also, this place is slightly cheaper than the other local ice cream joints around, which is a bonus. read more

I now live on the west coast, but each time I come home, I make at least one stop at Treadwell's. My favorite is black raspberry, which is really hard, if not impossible to find outside of New England. They give you huge servings so a kiddy cone is plenty of ice cream. I'm always nervous about fitting into my pants after each trip home :). read more

Great, classic ice cream. We got 3 pints of different flavors since it was our first time there and we couldn't make up our minds. All 3 were terrific. This is now our official family ice cream. Thanks, guys! read more

I had stopped in towards the end of the summer. The wait wasn't terrible, the ice cream was a welcomed delight for a hot summer day. Oh my how that sounds delightful on this cold blustery day in January! read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find that they carry Grapenut icecream - a classic milk and cereal icecream that has largely faded from grocery store shelves. This place has the very best of it that I have ever had. What's more, I know they make it from scratch because it's slightly different each time, but always delicious. The staff is dedicated and courteous. The prices are fair and there is parking. What's more, they will over-fill your icecream container so be sure to ask for a spoon in case you need to eat some out to close it. read more

First time in Peabody and so glad I a made a stop here. Delicious flavors and such kind service. Highly recommend a visit

If you get any toppings though prepare to get half ice cream and half toppings in your cup. They are giving me my moneys worth I suppose.. but I was basically just eating candy with ice cream at the point, not the other way around. It was what 12 year old me would have done if I was at a self serve place. Also you have basically no idea what you're getting or what is in the ice cream, the menu will just say "cake batter". Well the cake batter actually has chocolate swirled into it, only found that out once I got home. My girlfriend got "Grapenut" which was possibly the most disgusting ice cream I have ever tasted. Yes this is completely anecdotal but still.... Why is this a thing? Also the shop was infested with yellow jackets.... they were crawling around cups, cones, flying around your head as you ordered... not really the most pleasant experience. They are only open until 8 pm on any day of the week which is bizarre to me, people usually like to get ice cream after dinner but that's not really an option here. Lastly the line was long and every time I drive by the line is long. read more

My favorite mint chocolate chip. The chocolate chips are the perfect size. The ratio of ice-cream to chocolate pieces is perfect.

Went in for a soft serve ice cream and someone in the store end up writing up an unauthorized tip for themselves. That's fraudulent and illegal. Will no longer be a patron of this establishment. I know COVID have been a burden for a lot of businesses but adding a tip for yourself is not the way to earn your customers loyalty. read more

Ok, after much research, I must state that Treadwell's has the BEST chocolate peanut butter ice cream!! The chocolate ice cream was smooth and well flavored, there were gobs of peanut butter evenly distributed and huge crunchy rectangular chunks of chocolate that challenged a persons expertise handling a cone. Luckily I had many years of tutelage from my father. You learned fast or he "cleaned up your cone" with a third gone. read more

As if having the most delicious ice cream one can find isn't enough this shop is owned and operated by a really great guy. I highly recommend the Cherry Vanilla!! read more

Huge ice cream portions, but horrible customer service! The servers behind the counter were very rude and angry for no reason whatsoever. If they hate their jobs, then they should quit. read more

I used to really love this place but it's really been up and down lately everytime I go. if I get a coffee frappe it doesn't taste good because it's made with milk when I ask for ice cream it still doesn't taste great. the only thing I didn't like was that those paper straws and I don't even get to finish half my drink because of it. raspberry lime rickey is good except for again you don't get to finish it because paper straw breaks in half in the middle of your drink. The coffee oreo is pretty good and you always get great portions here read more

I drove by it all summer when I worked my part time job. So it was hard not to stop in for a cool snack. Salted caramel in a waffle cone. Medium the size of my head. I have a HUGE head. Worth every bite and every pound I gained because of it. Can't wait for next summer. Lots of parking. Friendly staff. Great selections. read more

To me the best ice cream place in the area hands down!! Everyone that works there is awesome!!

Seriously delish! I'm super particular with my ice cream and this ice cream exceeded my high stands. So creamy and nothing artificial about it. The butterscotch topping was so yummy. My boyfriend said this is the best ice cream he's had. We'll be back! read more

Russ Treadwell's I Scream (and FroYo) has been well trodden by yours truly since about 1970. My granddad had a crib in Salem on Winter Street and we went to Russ's almost weekly for years and years. I took a multiple-decade hiatus (I moved to Cali) but just went back to Russ's and it was no less wicked pissah than it had been back in the day. The Peppermint Stick is TDF as is the Bubble Gum I Scream. The prices are right and they hand-pack the "qwatz" and pints to "tao-ah" above the top of the "con-tain-ah" and wrap wax "pay-pah" around and then slap on the lid for a HUGE overfilled tub. They got many flavors of homemade I Scream (and FroYo) as well as soft serve and sundaes with pineapple and marshmallow toppings and all the New England classics. Thanks, Russ -you're mental and pissah! read more

Can't beat Treadwells...even after all these years! I grew up in Peabody and folks went to Chandlers or Treadwells it seems. My family always went to Treadwells, even though Chandlers was closer. My Dad always said Treadwells had better quality ice cream. Can't argue with that! The flavors offered at Treadwells are impressive! I'm sorry I didn't take a pic of the flavors posted on the side of the building. Seems there are more flavors listed there than on the website. Lucky for me the fall flavors are all available at the moment. Pumpkin, Eggnog, Dutch Apple, and even Pumpkin Oreo. Hopefully they'll add a Salted Caramel flavor in the near future (hint, hint)! I purchased 5 quarts: banana, black raspberry, dutch apple, butter crunch, and coffee Oreo. As I was driving back to my Aunts, she told me her freezer was broken! Now what?! I went back to Treadwells and asked if it was possible to keep my purchase in the freezer overnight. Michael quickly offered to help me out and put my purchase in the freezer. Talk about GREAT customer service! When I went back in the morning, I had a pumpkin Oreo cone for the road! Talk about the "Breakfast of Champions"... YUM! read more
