1. SoCo Creamery
(Great Barrington, MA) SoCo serves up small-batch pints made with organic milk and cream. Their Espresso Cookie and Dirty Chocolate are locals’ favorites for a deliciously good reason.
2. Kelly’s Creamery
(Dover Plains, NY) On the way to and from the city, Kelly’s is known for generous scoops, creative seasonal specials and a relaxed country setting that invites lingering. Bonus points for their gluten-free cones.
3. Dairy Cone (Pittsfield, MA)
This nostalgic roadside stand keeps it classic with rich soft serve, frozen yogurt, dipped cones and milkshakes. Go for the chocolate and vanilla twist with chocolate dip. You can thank me later.
4. Arethusa Farm Dairy
(Bantam, CT) From cow to cone, Arethusa makes all their ice cream using milk from their own award-winning dairy farm. It’s indulgent, ultra-creamy and elegantly simple—don’t miss the strawberry. Arethusa is now partnering with other local Connecticut farms to supply milk for their dairy products.
5. Alleyway Ice Cream
(Saugerties, NY) Tiny in size but bold in flavor, Alleyway churns out inventive scoops including Thai Tea Cookies & Cream and Ube Heath Bar Crunch. A must for foodies with a sweet tooth.
