“Lazy Bear is the single greatest thing to happen to ice cream. I’ve made a hobby out of enjoying different local ice cream places in my travels and I can say that Lazy Bear is the best ice cream you’ll have. I personally suggest the entire menu!

Additionally, Nana Peach is a national treasure for creating hot fudge that good. Protect her at all costs.“

“I recently checked out Van Leeuwen and it was such a delightful experience! Their homemade ice creams are incredibly creamy, with fun flavors. I got honeycomb and brown sugar cookie dough and it was very yummy. The staff are super friendly and the interior is great for taking pictures, with bright colors and decor. Highly recommended.“

“This is hands down the best pistachio and strawberry ice cream I’ve ever tasted! The flavors are so rich and authentic, with a perfect balance of sweetness that truly brings out the taste of fresh pistachios and ripe strawberries. The cone was incredible – crisp, buttery, and freshly made, making it the ideal complement to the creamy ice cream. Every bite was a delight, and I honestly can’t praise it enough. Without a doubt, this is my favorite ice cream spot in Boston, and I can’t wait to come back!“

“Everything is yummy! Best slush ever! The espresso gelato is my flavor of the week. Friendly staff.“

“Very generous amount! The topping options are so abundant and I love the fresh fruits - especially the mango! The owner is very patient and friendly, explaining to us different brands of Brazilian cookies. Overall, the store is very down to earth and it really reminds me of my trip in Brazil.“

“i got richie,s slush for the first time this year, I was so excited!, but then i noticed i think richie's slush changed their recipe for their slush. it just dont taste the same. I dont know if it was do to covid? But I do know it dont taste the same. It tastes more like a sherbet or sorbet. but its definitely not slush. so dispointed! #richie'slush“

“so many fabulous flavors of Gelato to pick from!“

“I was soooooo excited to try this place out! My partner and I came in for an evening snack after up from LI NY. We aren’t vegan, but I need to eat fully dairy-free for health reasons. There aren’t really many fully plant-based bakeries/scoop shops like this where we live so this was such a treat. We both got hot cocoa (since it was a cold night!), and got a small cup of grasshopper and apple cider donut ice cream. Everything was so good – I’m missing it now… the ice cream had such a soft, almost stretchy texture (hard to describe? but it’s an attribute of dairy ice cream as well) which was so delicious.

Dietary restrictions: Allergens are listed on the menu (soy, gluten, etc).“

“Thank you! I tried your dairy free Black Raspberry Oreo, and it’s a game changer! Finally a dairy free ice cream that has the right consistency and tastes like actual ice cream. I was so excited that I could taste the black raspberry without any hint of almonds/sunbutter/coconut as is always the case at other places. Cal’s Creamery is the best! PS - my husband loved your baklava flavor!“

“So happy they finally opened!! The matcha donut is my favorite, must try!!“

“This is a wonderful place. All the people are so nice and friendly. We are regulars there and most of the employees know our special order. Can’t say enough about the owner. Do yourself a favor and go for food and/or ice cream!“

“The focus, diligence, and chemistry between the team working tonight was unmatched. Their ice cream knowledge and customer service skills were top tier. The main man himself, Anthony, has regularly been super helpful whenever I come in. He remembers specifics and caters to exactly what I am looking for. Megan’s quick thinking helped me execute a perfect ice cream choice, and Lexie provided help for our large ice cream order. Meletharb is an absolute 10/10 and my favorite ice cream in the Commonwealth.“

“10/10. Best sweet shop EVER! Lots of variety and their ice cream is AMAZING!!!! Gold stars. A+. Highly recommend!!!“

“The ice cream is above average. It can be a bit expensive though. Service is a hit or miss, sometimes you get a smiling and friendly cashier, sometimes you get the unfriendly one (I do turn around and leave when I get the latter). The space is kind of small so when it gets too crowded I have seen people eating their ice cream standing up, outside.“

And their ice cream would cheer me up😃 Thank you JP Licks for always making me smile and also now my kids😃😃😃“

“Best ice cream around , is it apple pie ice cream time yet ?“

“By far the best Açaí bowl I’ve ever had!!! I’ve had them recently from about six local restaurants this place has the best texture and taste. The only thing is, I wish they had options like peanut butter drizzle , Chia seed, cacao bits and nuts.“

“Breakers is my preferred ice cream shop in Woburn even though I have another shop much closer. Ordering is efficient, orders are fulfilled accurately and quickly, and employees resolve any issues quickly and respectfully. Flavors are posted legibly and the variety of flavors is excellent. There is a parking lot, which is nice, and indoor seating and ordering which is helpful in the winter.“
