My partner and I came for one of the individually ticketed ice cream making classes, and it was perfect. We were already huge Gracie’s enthusiasts, and this class made us even bigger fans. Aaron is a mastermind genius of ice cream and a hilarious, silly human. I promise you’ll learn a lot, and leave filled to the brim with ice cream, hot dogs and love.

Ordered a hotdog with cheese sauce. They informed me 30 minutes (not exaggerating the time) after ordering that they ran out of buns. So they gave it on bread 15 minutes after that. Ended up being a cold inedible hotdog. How does it take 45 minutes to serve a hot dog?

I have been to Earnest Drinks now 3 different times and I have always been pleased with the variety & novelty their menu offers. For instance, they have a cocktail per astrological sign- it’s a fun way to try new drinks. I enjoyed a Virgo despite being a Cancer, and next time I’ll try a Capricorn !! Every time I’ve visited, the music, cleanliness, decor, and extremely helpful staff have made this experience one worth repeating. To further emphasize why I recommend visiting this business, they create their own ice cream flavors (Gracie’s) and pack the pints on site … Heather was especially knowledgeable and attentive, while also being relaxed and not overbearing, which allowed me to make an informed decision in my own time and enjoy my selection.

Our team went here for a work outing to do the ice cream making class and everyone loved it! Aaron took the time to explain some ice cream history\and how its made/their process while also keeping a group of 16 of us entertained. We then had the opportunity to make our own custom flavor and Sundaes after. I would definitely recommend this for your next team event!

Dietary restrictions: They were also great about working with someone on our team who had a gluten allergy!

This place is amazing. I go here for lunch. They have amazing hotdogs and a fantastic breakfast sandwich. I stop in for drinks. They make great cocktails and amazing adult frappes and have a good beer selection. Also just discovered Kool aid pickles! This is a fun quirky place that is definitely worth checking out!

I’ve been twice now for their ice cream menu and both times have been solidly okay.During the height of the pandemic, I got boozy milkshakes (+ mandatory “food”, a Kool Aid pickle). Milkshake tasted good in that it was ice cream, but the consistency was watery and I was a little disappointed.Recently returned for some run of the mill ice cream. Their flavors are hit or miss: some can be tasty and unique and others quite mild.Not the strongest ice cream parlor in the city, but maybe their food is better.

The place is very small with loud music, making it hard to talk. I ordered a matcha latte and got a light brown drink that tasted like sweet water. I later ordered a cafe latte and got it with spoiled milk. The foam tasted like yogurt. This was not a good experience.

Great drinks. Also worth noting it’s an ice cream shop so they’ve got “Adult Milkshakes” as well as an extensive cocktail menu!

Rachel Black

Good cocktails and seriously gourmet hot dogs! Super fun place to go before seeing a movie at Kendall Sq Cinema

I got the Pulled Pork Sandwich in store before going to see a movie. Worst Sandwich I’ve ever had. Tasted rancid or something. Stay far away

Elisa Dhanger

Not only is the ice cream good but they were really kind when I ordered to the wrong place, I felt so awkward and they were helpful and sweet even if it was almost closing time

Pop in for a drink, or an ice cream before catching a film at Kendall Cinema. Combo store of Earnest Drinks and Gracie’s Ice Cream. If you get the ice cream definitely try the toasted fluff cone!

Really good drinks, fast & friendly service, great outdoor seating, awesome bathroom (you have to see it to understand). Only thing I would recommend is a few more traditional appetizers / shared bites, like fries or nachos

Nice selection of drinks. Their food menu is funky, but there should be something for most everyone. Modern, clean, and a nice patio area outside.
