Nothing beats freshly made waffle cone with ice cream that’s as equally as good! Ice cream is smooth and creamy, not sure if it’s made there but their signature flavor is Irish cream. It gets pricey with additional toppings but if you keep it simple, then 1 – 2 scoops of just the ice cream is all one needs to satisfy a sweet tooth. However if you want to splurge then get the waffle cone! Whitmore’s also makes floats, shakes and has soft serve as well. Plenty of toppings and flavors to choose from. Whitmore’s is off route 115; with outdoor seating. Inside is full of Great Depression memorabilia and worthy of checking out, beautiful woodwork with exposed beams. I absolutely love the toasted almond on a waffle cone!

Thos was a fantastic Ice Cream Shop at one time before the new owners took over. My favorite is Irish Cream… did not have it they were out… tried pistacio… they were out… finially ordered chocolate moose… they had it along with the bonus ice crystals formed on the ice cream… very disappointing ice cream trip.

This is my favorite ice cream shop. Their chocolate fudge brownie ice cream is my favorite. They have a large variety of ice cream and sugar-free versions, as well as frozen yogurt. There is a good variety of toppings. Lots of parking space. Indoor and outdoor seating. The only things I don’t like about this place is the floorboards are creaky and easy to trip over, and they don’t accept credit or debit cards, which is inconvenient.

I’ve been a Seymoron since 1999, and I’ve been to Whittemore’s a few times. It’s in a nifty historical building, which is nice, and the service is pretty good as well. I will say though, that I’m picky about ice cream and this will influence my review quite a bit. I hate most hard ice cream. You know how most kids are about eating liver, broccoli, and lima beans? That’s how I am about hard ice cream, mainly because I’ve been spoiled by Talenti gelato and Rita’s frozen custard, not to mention all the places that offer 24 flavors of soft serve. My family still insists on going here every now and then, so I oblige. I will say that if nothing else, their flavor and topping assortment is decent. I heartily agree with the others saying that Rich Farms in Oxford is a better bet because I can at least remember the taste of the ice cream from there.

The best spot for ice cream in the Valley. Great flavors — even some tasty sugar free options — and very friendly staff. I recommend the cherry chocolate chip but the butter pecan is great too. Love their waffle cones!

Cute place with plenty of seating and a huge parking lot. They were opened late which was nice because our other option was the grocery store. I got the mint chip which was creamy, minty and not green. I topped it with chocolate syrup and it hit the spot. The only issue I had was the large amount of freezer burn on the inside of the cases– definitely in need of a defrost.

This old building(apparently build in the 1800s) is charming & quite New England adding to its nostalgic charm– not a bad thing when it comes to an old fashioned ice cream parlor. The proprietor & his family own & run this spot. They are Turkish & also own the local Captain’s Pizza chain. I happen to love all things coconut. So I really liked their Mounds ice cream. They were out of a few key flavors when I went so I can not attest to other flavors. But it is creamy(they should not keep it sooo cold as its a bit too hard), sweet but the cream shines through the additional ingredients, nice ratio of ice cream to add ins. The hot fudge was dark, thick & not too sweet– nice balance. They offer all the traditional ice cream flavor options & some imaginative ones too. Large private parking. Inside/out door seating. Clean bathrooms.

Whittemore’s has been in Seymour for a few years now. It faces some pretty stiff competition from competitors in Oxford, but it holds its own pretty well. The ice cream is quite fresh and tasty, and they offer a pretty wide variety of flavors. Yet, Whittemore’s ice cream just isn’t as decadent as others. I can’t put my finger on what’s missing, but something is. On the plus side, they do stay open fairly late(10pm) for when you need a late-night fix. On the negative side, they’re a cash-only establishment which can be a bit inconvenient. All in all, they’re good when you need to satisfy a craving, but you’re better off going a town over for the really good stuff.
