Erickson’s Ice Cream

A great stop before hitting the road after visiting Thomas Land. Easy to find, plenty of parking, clean picnic tables and flavors galore (even cranberry, perfectly suited for its locale).

The original owner was Mr Erickson. He was was elementary school principle back in the day (RIP). The tradition has stayed in Carver. It’s very clean and the ice cream is great. It tends to get a bit busy, but it’s worth the wait.

Great prices and amazing New England ice cream!!! They have a ton of flavors; I really like their Oreo cookie, peanut butter, and pistachio. Service is always friendly and they move any lines along. It is in a semi wooded area so there are a ton of bugs just an FYI. If we plan on eating there standing or in the car we bring some bug spray.
Recently a sign has been put up saying that they raised their prices, but I didn’t even notice. Got a very generous serving of ice cream for 4.25.

I read somewhere that good ice cream is a denser ice cream. The lack of air bubbles is the mark of a good cone. I can honestly say that this was the case when I had Erickson’s for the first time. Aside from being ‘dense’ ice cream, it was delicious. Also, it was humongous. We balked at the prices, but now that I have seen how big the kiddie size cone was (which was the perfect amount for me), I can understand the prices. Also, there was a nice picnic table area set up in the back that you could go and eat. I think it would be detrimental to my health to not go back.

Excellent ice cream. I was really impressed with the heath bar flavor. Friendly service too!
