This place was conveniently located not too far from shopping plazas, so it made for a very good errand plus treat day. When we arrived, there was a line of about four parties and only one employee but despite that, the line moved very quick and she greeted everyone with a smile and treated everyone with kindness. There were many flavors that looked and sounded good including the chocolate chip cookie dough which was packed with more cookie and chocolate chips than I have ever seen, as well as the Nutella and strawberry cheesecake. Last minute, I went with the salted caramel with pecans because of all the caramel it was packed with, and my brother had the cookie butter. Both were very good and portions sizes were decent. The cookie butter was a vanilla base loaded with Biscoff cookie; I enjoyed the smooth, but crunchy/grainy texture. The pecans in the salted caramel did help to offset the sweetness, but also added a crunchy texture. There is ample room to sit and eat inside, and also a couple tables and chairs in the shade outside.

Honestly? Kinda blown away by the Attleboro Friendly's when I visited this week. I haven't been in…read morea few years, and I was pleasantly surprised go to see that both the interior and exterior were gorgeously redone in what I can only call Friendly's Renaissance style. The floors and tables were no longer permanently sticky, and while I had a view of a vacuum cleaner leaning against the wall near my booth, I consider this a major upgrade. Growing up going to Friendly's, I became accustomed to the suuuuuuper long wait time. Every restaurant moves at lightning speed compared to Friendly's. Not anymore!! The food came out so quickly. Perhaps because it was a Wednesday night and there weren't many patrons, but still. It was basically instantaneous (do with that info what you will). I had the fried clam strips with mashed potatoes and corn. It was alright. I wish there was more clam than strip, but I'm dining at Friendly's. I thought the price was really good for a generous portion with two sides. I also got ice cream of course, and I decided on a cup of cookie dough with chocolate sprinkles. There were very few chocolate sprinkles (which cost $0.99) and not that much ice cream. The ice cream itself also wasn't very good. Not very creamy and not many cookie dough pieces. I was disappointed to say the least. Friendly's will always have a special place in my heart, however, and I'm glad this one is still kicking. I was always fond of the hamburger sliders as a kid so maybe those are still great, or perhaps my taste buds have lost their youthful naivety. It's a New England staple and I really hope it doesn't go anywhere!

Also, my friend highly recommended this place as it is her favorite. We made it there about 30 minutes till close and it was a weekday so not too many people were there. They have a good-sized parking lot, and lots of areas to sit and eat; some in their front lawn, right on the patio, or in the back. I anticipated them being out of stock of some flavors since it is the end of the season and I was right, but they still had about 75% of our first choices. They have some flavors with unique names like unicorn poop and green Monstah as well as menu items like shakes, frappes, sundaes, and even ice cream sandwiches. I played it safe but fun and ordered a scoop of oatmeal cookie, my mom originally ordered espresso crunch but they were out so we defaulted to salted caramel crunch, my brother ordered two scoops of cookie butter, and my friend got a vanilla soft serve with caramel. The total came out to around $20 which is fair for 4 people and the amount of ice cream we got. I thought the ice cream was tasty, with a good consistency (not too hard, not gooey or melted), and a good amount of the add-ins (cookies, caramel, etc.).

They've been churning out ice cream (pun intended) for almost 50 years. Today was my first time going inside the shop. In past times, I had ordered at the window. The inside is small but packs in a lot! Candy and other treats line the walls, a beautiful display of fudge and hand dipped chocolate goodies right in front of you. The young ladies at the counter were very nice, and accommodated my request for their favorite. For this shop, I was told the cookie butter flavor was everyone's current #1. I also got some apple flavored crocodile gummies and I was on my way. The cookie butter surprised me. I expected it to be very sweet, but instead the ice cream had some lovely deep caramel notes from the cookie butter and the big chunks of speculoos cookies were soft and easy to eat without being overwhelmed by sugar. Once again another great trip to the Ice Cream Machine and a reminder to not wait so long before I visit again.

Most recently, I tried their pumpkin ice cream and it did not disappoint! You can get ice cream one of several ways. The ones I remember off the top of my head can be bought either as a packed pint, in cups, several varieties of cones, sundaes, banana splits, cookie sandwiches, and floats. Lots of toppings and sauces to choose from as well. Staff is friendly and service is pretty quick. It does get quite busy here at times, and the parking lot is tiny, which means you might have to go across the street to park. While that's not a big deal for most people, being handicapped, it's a big downside for me, especially since you'd need to cross a very high-traffic street. This is why I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5. They do have an inside area where you can order as well, but you cannot sit/dine inside. There are a few picnic tables outside that you can use, but they also fill up quickly. Inside, you can also buy things like ice cream cakes, fudge, candy and other treats. It's a little bit of a trek for me, but I will definitely be swinging by anytime. I am in the area. Definitely worth checking out!

She presented me with a cone of strawberry cheesecake ice cream and mentioned she scooped it to have extra graham cracker swirl, which is her favorite part. Love that! Because of the heat, I opted to eat my ice cream in the car. This ice cream packs a punch in sweetness. Between the cheesecake, the graham cracker swirl and the strawberry mixed in, this is a sweet tooth's dream cone. While sweeter than my preference usually, I did enjoy this cone down to the last bite!

I went the day it was raining all day but cleared up my late afternoon so I was nervous they would be closed. However, it was far from closed and in fact, the ice cream counter to order is inside, protected from the weather. They have the classics and basics, along with more unique flavors and a rotating flavor of the month. I went with peanut butter oreo and caramel caribou (flavor of the month). They offer different sizes and each one brings a generous amount according to the price. We enjoyed the ice cream outside at one of their picnic tables. They have some plastic traditional picnic tables, but also some stone circular tables which get a little uncomfortable over time. The ice cream was great! The only disappointing part was that the peanut butter oreo had a very light peanut butter base, but it was packed with oreo chunks so it made up for it. The caramel caribou was very smooth and packed with caramel swirls and caramel stuffed chocolate bites. They weren't overwhelming sweet which was good. They also offer half gallons of ice cream to go in select flavors including the flavor of the month as well as merchandise including tshirts, hoodies, hats, and stuffed cows. We were very satisfied with our visit.
