Great homemade berry ice cream! Other flavors are great too! Nice area to sit in the shade or bring it home.

End of September 2023 we are here. The business is very busy and a lot of traffic in and out. First time here and I spoke to others here today who said they love it here and the ice cream flavors. Many have been coming for years and are loyal customers. We had single scoop ice cream on a waffle cone. I used to make home made ice cream for a restaurant and know when it is flavored well. I had the cookies and cream which was chocolate ice cream, and had good flavor to it. I'm not here to eat a pint of ice cream at once so the one scoop was plentiful. About $5 for a small which is a single scoop, again plenty for me. I also picked up a doggy cup which was just under $5. But there was plenty of vanilla cream in the cup with a large cookie on top. Many places give a very small amount of cream and a small milk bone and charge $5 for a doggy bowl. There was plenty for my dog to eat. We were here for 25 minutes and counted about 30 cars in and out with loads of people waiting in line, on this cloudy and cooler afternoon. I would have to say that Benson's is doing something right to draw in this many people on a cloudy September evening. I am sorry those others have had a not so great visit. Perhaps you might take a break for a bit and come back with an open mind. You may have a better opinion.

I have been coming to Benson's since I was a kid and now bring my family. The ice-cream is amazing (made onsite) and the staff are fantastic!

Ice cream was excellent. Got the red raspberry and a half gallon of the maple walnut. It was one of the most maple-y I've had.

Delicious ice cream made with local ingredients. Plenty of outdoor seating for little ones to make a mess.

Best homemade ice cream on Massachusetts 's North Shore. 2 scoops is about a pint of ice cream. You can mix flavors as well. Very polite servers as well.

So extremely disappointed. We lived in the area for 12 years and were loyal customers for years. Spent our summers eating Benson's ice cream...so much so we probably put a couple of workers through college, We were in the area and excited to get some ice cream at our favorite place. They were out of all the native flavors, so I ordered regular strawberry in a cup. My husband ordered black raspberry. No flavor at all. Both tasted like vanilla ice cream with a pinch of strawberry. There were no chunks of strawberry in mine. I could barely find a piece of strawberry. If I closed my eyes I would think I was eating some low end vanilla sold at the supermarket. For $7, I expected more. What happened to Benson's ? The quality and flavor have really gone down. Sorry, this is not the Benson's of years ago. It is apparent they are being cheap and cutting way back on the ingredients. Sadly, I cannot recommend Benson's anymore.

Ice cream was all melted when I got it. Brought it home and it was a soup by the time I got home could not even eat. I live less than 1 mile away. Takes less than 4 minutes to get home. It was only 65 degrees out.

My family has lived in Boxford for over 50 years and been going to Benson's for as long. But now pricing is just too high! $27.95 for a half gallon! Ice cream is good but not that good. Maybe Nancy Pelosi can afford it but average folks cannot!

Just had the best dairy free ice cream ever. Mint chocolate chip. Wish I had room to try their DF strawberry ice cream. They even serve dog bones on puppy size ice cream bowls. Those on top slowed down my pooch enough to make half way home before she started chewing the container. Seriously this place tucked away in a town with 1 stop sign is worth the detour off of rte 95, 125 133 or any other road your on. Benson has had the best homemade ice cream for many years, now they have best vegan as well. Nearby is a great nursery with hardy hardened plants shade lovers as well.
