We love supporting this local establishment. Having amazing ice cream makes every visit worth the trip. Black Raspberry is always delish.

I wanted to drop a review for a seminal ice cream shop in my hometown. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember, and more often recently since...

Wow. Huge portions of quality ice cream. Even the sugar cone was delicious!

Wow is all we can say about the wonderful ice cream we had while visiting the Minuteman National Park in Concord and Lexington. This ice cream shop, while very small inside, packs one heck of a punch when it comes to their ice cream selections. There were several different serving sizes and some of us let our eyes determine the size, which turned out to be a mistake. We were a party of ten and everyone enjoyed our choices of ice cream and cannot forget just how creamy the ice cream was. The staff was wonderful, service with a smile. The prices of everything there were more than reasonable, and the taste made it all worth every penny we spent. The shop does have a small area inside to sit and enjoy your treat, only a few tables, but has some benches out in front of the shop and there is plenty of free parking available.

Fantastic flavors - very large servings - you won't need dinner afterwards but you won't mind that! Highly recommended.

Incredible ice cream! Easy some of the best ice cream I've ever had. My group got a variety of flavors, from butter crunch to Oreo, Milky Way, chocolate pudding, and cashew turtle. All of it was delicious. If you are in the area this is a must-visit.

Awesome ice cream and amazing staff! The location is nice, you can go eat ice cream in the train tracks! There’s a really sweet girl who works there, I think her name is Harper, you should give her tips, she’s probably the best employee there, if I do say so myself!

Excellent ice cream and frozen yogurt! We stopped in during a time that wasn't overly busy and experienced fast, friendly service. Generous servings and lots of delicious options.

So much fun! And amazing selection. Who knew that this gem would be tucked in the countryside.

Bedford Farms is a Concord favorite. There’s a larger stand over in Bedford (cause after all it’s not Concord Farms). The ice cream is very good, but the space is mostly parking lot and train tracks. There’s only a couple of seats inside. I like their Oreo and Green Monster. They also make a good frappe. Update - the seasonal flavor peach is out of this world!

Fantastic ice cream. All flavors are so tasty. Incredible milkshakes (frappes) too. One of the best ice cream shops in greater Boston.

It's an awesome place to eat! The staff is awesome and messed-up orders are nonexistent. The ice-cream is delicious and 100% in my top three favorite ice-cream places. If you are visiting concord and are living nearby, you should definitely try their ice-cream!

Delicious ice cream, quick friendly service, good selection of flavors. Patlrkikg is limited in front of the establishment, but there's onscreen parking.

Great ice cream. Small old world shop. Adjacent to Concord train station. Dawg friendly area. Single scoop was a very generous serving. Efficient service. Would certainly return.

I was here about a month ago and it was amazing ice cream! The texture was a bit chewy. I never had it like that before. I hope they open up again.

Great tasting ice cream, very fresh ingredients. People working there were also very friendly and patient with questions on the flavors. The portion is enormous even for the kiddie size.
Paul Brown   August 27, 2022
Just hard to beat this place in the Concord / Bedford / Acton area for excellent ice-cream and gelato. The product is excellent, the quantities VAST. One star off as the "dining experience" both at the Concord train station and the Bedford location is kinda crummy. Still. Drive it home! Eat as you go! Spill some mint chocolate-chip on your lap?
Blandyna Williams   August 11, 2022
Great ice cream and frozen yogurt. Quick service. There is indoor, air conditioned, seating at 2 tables, enough for 2-6 people, and a bench outside.

this is my go-to favorite ice cream place! i love the moose tracks with its soft chocolate chunks and peanut butter cups and high quality delicious vanilla. the scoops are huge, and they always serve it so fast.

The ice cream is excellent and the service is fast and friendly. I had the mud pie ice cream and there was more Oreo cookie than ice cream. The white river junction is my favorite flavor here.

Some of the best ice cream I have ever had! I got the basic chocolate and there was nothing basic about it. Really dense and very cold, and by that I mean it stayed cold for a while - hate it when ice cream melts really fast. Line was long, but moved really quickly. Staff was friendly and helpfully when it came to asking for recommendations. Would 100% revisit. The chocolate I got was the kids size by the way, so value wise this place is incredible. If I had to pick one gripe it would be that the kids is so big I felt like two flavors should have been allowed, but that's a very tiny gripe because the flavor I got was fantastic. Overall I give Bedford Farms Ice Cream a 4.5 out of 5.

I've been going to Bedford farms ice cream my whole life - it never disappoints!

Great place to get ice cream. Lines are a bit long on a hot day - no surprise!
Bryan Doyon   June 11, 2022
The best homemade ice cream with outstanding vanilla and coffee flavors. Friendly staff and good portion sizes for the price make it worth the money. Easily one of my favorite places for ice cream anywhere. An excellent place to stop year round.

My grands likes the ice cream.
Bill Meier   November 8, 2021
Great ice cream! Although they do not have window service in the winter, you can go inside and get ice cream year round! A nice bonus. I saw an interesting flavored called apple crisp and decided to give it a try. It was quite good!

Enjoyed a fantastic Black Raspberry Shake from Bedford Farms and my daughter had some ice cream. The shake was amazing and the ice cream creamy, smooth and and delish. We want to give Cali a special thank you. Her service was too notch. ☺️
Marcela Gillis   May 13, 2021
So creamy and delicious. I forget the name of it, but i got the chocolate with the brownies and fudge. Will definitely be back. My only complaint is the lack of outdoor seating. Most people i saw just stood around the parking lot to eat their ice cream.

Excellent ice cream. My spouse is especially fond of the Muddy River, I think it was called -- chocolate ice cream with a hard peanut butter swirl.

Ice cream was top notch, costumer service as well. Was my first time visiting, however I highly recommend Green Monster. A delicious combination of mint ice cream, hot fudge and oreo, it's a must try for anyone. The awesome pairing of very easy online ordering and contact free pick-up from the store makes getting Bedford Farms Ice Cream a must, even during this pandemic

Darren G   October 2, 2019
Friendly staff, delicious ice cream in potentially ridiculous portion sizes if you're not careful, and a great atmosphere being in a converted train station building. I ordered a banana split but it was late in the day so they were out of bananas... the staff kindly and cleverly offered to substitute a brownie. My friends encouraged me down this path and I had no regrets. A really fun place!
