Been going here for years. Great ice cream and friendly staff. Love getting the pups an ice cream while we are there also. One of the best brownie sundaes around.

This is the only ice cream store in town worth coming to, especially if you do non-dairy! The Blueberry Crisp and Mint Oreo are so good. We wish they would add more non-dairy flavors or have a new rotating non-dairy flavor every week.

Outstanding ice cream. Some of the best around. Only concern is the prices are a little high.

So good!!!!! The coconut was amazing and I’m not sure why kind of sprinkles they use, but those are so good too! Highly recommend!

I called on 11/12/2022 to see if they had some grapenut ice-cream. The young lady on the phone was so nice and polite. She put 2 half gallons aside for me. It was funny because when I pulled up she kind of knew it was me. I also bought a couple of pints of different ice-cream. I was very pleased with the whole experience.

Iconic farmstand ice cream! Giant portions call and delicious flavors. There are a few benches to sit on in the back.

The ice cream is great. I have a hard time driving past on my way home from work and not stopping. My one wish is that they had better flavor options.

Perfect on a hot afternoon when my 90 year old Mother said out of the blue:”I’d like some ice-cream!”Friendly service and just off the road. Too many flavors to list them all. We had Black Berry and Banana. Lovely!

Not sure what happened to this place, maybe trying to save $, but 8 dollars for an ice cream which I would not mind paying if it was the quality it once was. The coffee actually has coffee ground in it! who wants gritty ice cream? Ok, so maybe it was just a mishap. We return this evening and the strawberry ice cream is now bright RED.. when I asked what the heck it was they said they were trying a 'new' company and its added food coloring to it! No thank you! I can live without added red dye.

It's a cute local ice cream place. The price is fantastic for the portion size! It has a fair variety of flavors, but they are standard (chocolate, black raspberry, salted caramel, etc). I wasn't overly impressed with the quality, but definitely better than most store brands. The salted caramel was rather salty, so be careful with that one.

I arrived at the ice cream shop around 8:40pm and the owners were walking out and it was closed, when on the website it says it closes at 9pm. False information!

I think some New Englanders don't appreciate the extent to which they live in an ice-cream paradise: around here you can get locally-made ice cream from mom-and-pop stands that beats anything you can buy from a big national manufacturer hands down. Carter's is typically great; I'd say it's the best one in Haverhill.It's only open seasonally and has no indoor seating, and the limited parking fills up fast in the summer, but it's on a hill and if you hang around to eat your ice cream you can treat yourself to gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside.Do be aware that this is a cash-only business.

Best brownie bash sundae ever! This one is for big appetites or sharing with another person, The girl that helped me even warmed the brownies that were super fresh , soft & warm, the vanilla goes best so I got all vanilla that was not Rivaled by any, loaded with hot fudge extra nuts and whipped cream. One find any better!

The ice cream is so delicious here. You get a LOT of ice cream for the price. Our favorite ice cream shop ever. It is a permanent outdoor stand that is open from late Spring to early fall. There is free parking and a few park benches. It is a complete outdoor experience. I do not believe they have access to bathrooms.

The creamiest ice cream I’ve ever had. Truly the best

Place is great. Had the frozen yogurt. Very creamy compared to others I've had. Drove 35 minutes to indulge myself. Fortunately, my daughter lives across the street so I'm not entirely daft.

Very disappointed. Used to come here frequently before moving out of the area. Ordered red raspberry chip, Heath bar and pistachio. Each flavor tasted like a poor quality vanilla. Heath bar did not have chunks of Heath bar as they once did; only small bits of chocolate. Pistachio did have real pistachio nuts so that is a plus. Overall, the ice cream seemed very pasty and gummy; as tho an additive altered the flavors. $12 for two smalls; very disappointing.

Yesterday there was this one kid with glasses and blue eyes who made a mistake with my ice cream. He gave me mint chocolate chip instead of mint Oreo. He also didn’t give me enough hot fudge on the side. I am very disgusted with the experience I had. He almost forgot to give me spoons.

Great selection and great ice cream!!! They also have a non dairy selection so everyone can enjoy a cool summer treat.

Great ice cream. They make their own. I love that. Their choclate marshmallow is the best around! My kids love the battleground coffee grounds in the coffee ice cream. I don't really. They don't have bubble gum ice cream which one kid wishes they did. Not much in the way of bugs tonight so that was good. Not sure if they sprayed bc it used to be a huge issue or if it was just early enough or dry enough for there to be fewer around. Down side is that they only take cash.

A tradition in the Bradford part of Haverhill, homemade tasty Carter's ice cream...with a gorgeous view of a preserved vegetable farm next door, which goes back generations. The various ice cream sizes belie their actual proportions. Rural sweetness.
