Dudley ice cream shop opens amid heatwave

A new ice cream shop opened this week in a plaza at 185 West Main St. in Dudley.

El Rinconcito Feliz Ice Cream & Antojitos began its soft opening on Wednesday, with a planned grand opening scheduled for Saturday.

The location was previously home to Ice Cream Pharm, which closed after its 2025 season.

El Rinconcito Feliz, located at one of Dudley’s central intersections, will serve ice cream as well as mangonadas, crepes, and savory food including burritos, empanadas and other snacks.

El Rinconcito Feliz is owned by Hugo Cifuentes, who is also an owner of Cifuentes Landscape Corp. in Dudley, according to filings with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth.
