West Side Creamery was established by three families who became friends through their children's pre-school and sports activities. As their bonds deepened, so did their discussions about the need for ice cream in the community, and when the opportunity arose in the spring of 2018 to open a homemade ice cream shop in the village of West Acton, they brought the idea to life. The founders describe a commitment to small batch homemade traditional and seasonal flavors, paired with service in a welcoming environment that fosters community spirit. The shop is open year round, and its team is known for passion, expertise and hospitality; hiring for scoopers and cashiers picks up in mid-July for those available from mid to late summer.

The shop sits on Massachusetts Avenue in West Acton, a short walk from Danny's Place community center and roughly 0.1 miles from Fort Pond Brook. The West Acton Post Office and the Acton Citizens' Library are each about 0.2 miles away, and the Mead Stone memorial is about 0.3 miles from the door.

Customers consistently praise the shop, with reviewers calling out the coffee ice cream, the chocolate chip cookie dough, generous portions and the sampler that lets guests pick four flavors. The 4.7 rating across 420 reviews reflects that following.

For Acton residents looking for small batch ice cream made daily, West Side Creamery pairs a rotating flavor menu with pints, pies and cookie sandwiches to take home.
