Bubbling Brook - Westwood

A famous spot on the border of Westwood and Walpole, it's a pretty standard old style ice cream and American food shack. Very popular during the spring and summer (it's closed in the fall/winter). It's not really my cup of tea, everything is a bit too sugary, the bases aren't strong creative flavors so much as a standard sweet cream with mix ins. But they have some good options. The clear winner for our family was Salted Caramel Truffle that had a nice caramel swirl through it along with chocolate chunks and little caramel truffles in it. Pretty tasty! The Coffee Oreo I got was ok, but not a strong enough coffee flavor, it mainly tasted of Oreos, not the worst thing, but not what I was looking for. Their peanut butter flavors were off, the peanut butter wasn't very good so that's disappointing. Overall, I'd give it and a half cones out of five, it's worth a stop on a hot day, but not worth going out of your way for. Best paired with a shady picnic table spot in their backyard and Aerosmith Sweet Emotion.

Overpriced and living on their reputation. Sub par and very expensive for low quality Ice cream that you could buy at the supermarket.

A Summer staple for our family since moving to Walpole 30 years ago. We started out with our 3 sons, then bringing my BIL and family from Louisiana and finally our grandkids. All love the variety and ways to get your favorite favor. Ice Cream you will remember.

I love these types of restaurants. Everything is take out and they have a lot picnic tables in the back. They have a lot of food options and many flavors of soft and hard serve ice cream. I had a hot dog with fries and the bun was toasted to perfection. I also had a cup of the clam chowder. The food was great and comes out quick. For ice cream I had the raspberry swirl with sprinkles. It was hard to pick a flavor because there were so many. A nice spot to stop by on a nice day.

I’m really disappointed that they no longer offer a variety of food; now they only serve ice cream. I used to enjoy getting their fish and chips from time to time. I would gladly make the drive for their fish and chips, but I wouldn’t go that far just for ice cream.
