Great ice cream flavors, including really good, frozen yogurts. Full range of sizes and in fact, you'll make a mistake Trying to order a small when small ends up being large. Start off with the mini size. Fair prices. Really excellent richardsons, ice cream. My favorite frozen yogurts are French Vanilla (kind of custardy) and chocolate chip

Good selection of hard ice cream. Service was fast and friendly.

Best ice cream store! Variety of ice cream is outstanding! Clean eatery and friendly staff. Highly recommend this ice cream restaurant.

Love going here with my daughter. The staff is always friendly and the ice cream is delicious. Portions are super generous!

I would say this is a great place clean calmed environment. The service is great the girls are super sweet, friendly and quick. Ice cream and nice and cream good size portion for the price. Extremely recommended and grab a ducky so cute and unique. Run raisen my favorite

Go hungry! They don't have "small" portions. Oh, they have small as an option on the menu for some items, but those are still HUGE servings! A "kiddy" size is the size of most places "large". And the flavor of the ice cream is amazing. Rich, creamy, smooth... everything you're looking for in an indulgent treat at the end of your evening. They aren't shy with the toppings if you're looking for a sundae, either. The shake/frappe (as it's known in the northeast) has the correct amount of smoothness to make it up the straw, without hurting yourself or giving yourself brain freeze, too. I do wish they were open a little later, but I can't even take away a star for that, because everything else is so great, it outweighs that one negative, in my opinion. Go see what you think.

Stillwells is a hidden gem in Plaistow. Don't let the plaza dissuade you, this is the best ice cream in the area. The servers are super speedy and friendly and prices are very reasonable for Richardson's ice cream. Don't miss out on the prepacked gallons, ice cream pies, or ice cream sandwiches. We're here probably more than we should be.

This is my family's ice cream spot. We have been going here for years, the staff are always friendly and do a great job with whatever ice creams we are ordering. The price is typical for an ice cream shop and they don't skimp on the toppings. If you order a topping, they put an appropriate amount of that topping on.
