Melt Ice Cream

"OMG! Melt has the best Maple Bourbon Frappes. The flavor is satisfying and not overpowering. It is just pure Maple Bourbon deliciousness. Their Sea Salt Caramel ice cream with Vegan Whipped cream is so scrumptious. The staff is so friendly and you get the best customer service..with a smile. It's just minutes from the train station and perfect way to start or end your visit. Definitely a MUST to try. Vegan Friendly and Gluten Free!"

"Cute little ice cream shop. They only had 2 dairy free flavors. Coffee and coconut. I’m not a fan of coconut and was hoping they didn’t use coconut milk either so I tried coffee. It was pretty good. Didn’t seem like coconut milk. Was really creamy. I believe there even was grounded up coffee in it? I added half to a coffee I got earlier to make it a coffee float. So good!"

"Delicious homemade ice cream on a hot day. Minimal inside seating but great outside sitting. Waffle cones are wonderful, not expensive at all, friendly staff, several flavors. Only gripe… strong spoons lol, not a major issue Highly recommended"

"Amazing flavors, ample samples, smiling scoopers. Can't ask for more in an ice cream shop. I heartily recommend the banana nutella peanut butter cup and the stroopwafel, if they're on the menu. But careful. It melts."

"I always make it a point to visit the local ice cream shops when I am on vacation. I really have to concur with other reviewers when they say that the salted caramel is literally the bomb. It is not only the flavor of the ice cream but the bits of brownie within the ice cream that set it apart from the other flavors I have tried. The atomic coffee was also a favorite from the couple of times I have visited. They have very interesting items to choose from and everything is homemade using local ingredients. They also sell a few souvenir items as well. For the price you pay for a cone with a couple of scoops, you really get your monies worth as it is loaded up. The shop is small, cute and clean and the staff is friendly. If you like good quality ice cream, then this is definitely your place to visit. I will definitely stop in again the next time I am in the area."

"Best frappe ever! Friendly staff..love the logo!! It's become our tradition, to stop there, to finish off our visits to Salem"

"Came for Salem… stayed for the homemade ice cream at The MELT After walking all day, this was EXACTLY the sweet treat I needed. Homemade so good i would for sure try this local spot."

"We visited on a Friday in mid-June 2025 for a dessert snack around 1ish. There is public parking lot and street parking. We walked here from a lot. There were very few on street ones. There was also a outside seating area in front of the restaurant that may have been parking at one point. It was a couple that left when we entered. But the whole time no one went in until we left maybe like 15 mins later. Staff was super nice and helpful giving us suggestions. It was very warm inside the shop and they had a make shift AC unit. Wonder if their main AC was broken. There was limited seating inside but informal available outside. It was very warm outside and our shakes were melting really fast. We ordered all frappe/milkshakes: - Salted peanut butter Oreo (classic flavors can’t go wrong here) - Maple Bourbon mixed with atomic coffee 50/50 (my favorite) happy they do 50/50 - Black raspberry chip frozen yogurt (youngest favorite always) - Rose with candied orange (wife liked it, it was eh to me) It seemed a bit on the pricey side but I think this is the going rate these days. I've had much worse $10 milkshakes. The milkshakes were good and they had a good variety of options. Overall I'd come back and order here again if we were in town. There are other food and dessert options around town though so I wouldn't be against trying something else either."
