Absolutely love Dr. Davis ice cream! Generous servings, creamy ice cream, and I've never had a bad scoop. I look forward to going every time! The customer service is always great and the old time vibes leave me feeling nostalgic. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

Long-time customer, long-time favorite ice cream shop. From 1970 to today it's been my family's best place to go.

Exceptional Ice Cream!…Still after the many years Doc’s has been there for Us. I count the days between Winter to Spring…it’s Summer now at the time of my review, and I am once again ecstatic to indulge in my favorite hot fudge Sundae, with my favorite coffee-flavor ice cream!! THE BEST!!

Cute old place that has been making their own ice cream since the 30's. Unlike many of these places in this area, they are not Cash Only.

We love the banner boat. With all the works. I share it with my hubby.The best ice cream around.

Great local place with homemade ice cream. They have both soft and hard serve as well as peanut butter sauce which only friendlys seems to have!

Pepperell's own homemade ice cream! Been here for generations, and generations of Pepperell teens have worked here - the best of shop local! Lots of great flavors - and they make malts! As well as frappes, sundaes, and other ice cream treats. They've got outdoor tables under 2 huge umbrellas, plus a single table inside. The perfect place for a stop on the way to watch the parachuters at Pepperell Airport, or after a game at the town fields, or on a summer evening. In fact, I'm headed there right now!
