Our Story

Born From a Passion for Sweetness

Over the last 26 years, that passion has grown into a New England tradition. Gilbert Ice Cream became a beloved fixture in the community because we don't just roll up and pass out treats—we bring genuine warmth, energy, and smiles. Word spread fast across the region because Gilbert and his team treat every single guest like family.

Today, Gilbert Ice Cream is the premier mobile dessert experience for weddings, corporate gatherings, birthdays, and major festivals. From Boston to every corner of New England, we've spent more than two decades serving up sweet memories, and we're just getting started.
