Country Creamery and Coffeehouse (first visit)

Towns: Chelmsford
Novelties: Dole Whip Affogato
Flavors: Chocolate Vanilla

Country Creamery and Coffeehouse is a tiny (two serving windows under an overhang) roadside icecream spot in Chelmsford (just north of I-495, about a mile and a half from Sully's) that only does soft serve (and coffee.) It has a couple of parking spots around back, but it's directly attached to Friendship Park/Roberts Field which have a huge public lot (there's even a footbridge over to the field.) They also have a bunch of picnic tables with umbrellas.

First Visit

I picked a nice late summer day with a chance of rain... and as I pulled into the parking lot it started pouring. Being New England this didn't really deter anyone, and there was plenty of room for a handful of people (and one puppy) to hang out under the awning and enjoy our ice cream anyway.

They did not have dip cones, so I went with a chocolate/vanilla twist. There isn't a lot of variation in soft serve, but this was above average in richness/creaminess, which was nice. (I dashed to the car at the first break in the rain to finish it off.)

They are apparently noted for having Dole Whip which was a Disney theme-park exclusive until 2023 so I should give that a try, but what really caught my eye was that the menu lists an Affogato, and I'm curious how that even works with soft serve...
