Dessert Restaurants in Boston, MA

“cookie was really good! i went in with my friend because we saw no customers so we went ahead and tried the red velvet cookie!!! was really good and pricing was 5.89 for a big cookie, much better than crumble because their portions are smaller. would definitely come back here with my friend again!! 10/10 service btw they know the good cookie recommendations:)“

“They revised the menu and changed the way they baked the cookies. Pretty solid cookies. More than the cookies though, I appreciate the way the place is being managed. The store manager, Isaiah, was great. He listened to some the issues I experienced in the past at another store, and told me all about how they changed to make things better. Give them a try. I tried the s’more’s and the Oreo. I recommend the s’more’s.“

“Crumbl cookies in Brighton is the best location! The cookies and deserts always come out perfect. Their customer service is excellent, the store is super clean and very friendly staff. I definitely recommend this location to anyone. A+ service!“

“love visiting the Jamaica Plain store! Since the weather has been getting warmer, I've gone a few times this month and have to say the staff is amazing. They are very warm, friendly, patient, and have great insight on all the flavors and products. Because of them I found my favorite Fomu flavor. It was Rose Lavender but I was introduced to Lemon Meringue, tart lemon ice cream (coconut base), with graham cracker crust and yummy vegan marshmallow! It was so tasty I went back a second (and third) time to buy a point. Don't miss this flavor and the wonderful staff (surprisingly calm and chill even under pandemic pressure). Can't wait to see what next month's flavors are!“

“I don't usually write reviews but I've been living in Dorchester for the last five years and Cocoleaf is a standout establishment to me. There are few mid-range food businesses in Boston where you feel like you're actually getting your money's worth it and not just subsidizing the very-high-cost-of-living in this city. Cocoleaf/Akoko Cafe is one of those places. I've had dessert, drink and food items from across their menu and every time I've been blown away by how unexpectedly fresh, unique and delicious the flavors are. The portions are generous and fair for the price. I don't think I've ever had something subpar from here, and if they do mix up my order, the staff are quick to correct and replace it. This place is a hidden gem for anyone who doesn't live in the neighborhood. I will never stop patronizing this establishment for as long as they keep doing what they are doing.“

“We had a great time here on Sunday! The service was nice and quick, and the menus were thorough. My only complaint about the food is that the shaved ice was super icy, as in the ice was still in huge pieces, barely shaved. Other than that, the boba and mango tasted fresh, the prices were very reasonable, and I enjoyed it overall.“

“It was really cute shop and I liked the ice cream. I walked down to the Kennedy Greenway and took in the skyline views with it. Great night!

I took off one star cause the ice cream is close to being perfect, but not quite. The cookie dough ice cream just simply didn’t have enough cookie dough bites in it. We all know those are the best part so what are we skimping for!

The cake batter ice cream had too many sprinkles for my taste. It’s already a very sweet flavor so it would be nice to have the option to add sprinkles instead.

On the other hand, the fruit and sorbet style flavors were perfection!

Last point, the employees all seemed like they hated their lives here. I respect that ofc cause I’ve worked many jobs that I hate, but it gave me the sense something could be done behind the scenes to make it a better work environment.

I don’t mean to sound too harsh cause clearly this place is great! But that’s my two cents, keep going!“

“My go to spot in Allston for tofu pudding, grass jelly, bingsu, and drinks! This place is always busy, and the desserts and drinks are consistently yummy. My favorite order is their signature grass jelly, super refreshing, especially on a hot day. The staff are always nice, too.
It does get extremely crowded toward the evening, and when packed, the place can have an unpleasant smell. I’d recommend ordering to go if possible, just not the bingsu since it’s best enjoyed fresh in store.“

“Insomnia Cookies is my go-to spot whenever I’m craving something sweet late at night. The cookies are usually warm, soft in the middle, and super satisfying — especially the classics like Chocolate Chunk and Snickerdoodle. When they’re fresh out of the oven, they really hit the spot.

That said, the experience can be a little inconsistent. During busy hours, wait times get long, and delivery can sometimes show up colder than expected. Prices are on the higher side as well, especially if you’re ordering multiple items or adding ice cream.

Overall, though, it’s a fun late-night treat with a great variety of flavors, and the convenience is hard to beat. When they’re warm and fresh, they’re absolutely worth it.“
