“Great customer service and delicious gelato. Clean and such a cute shop. So happy we stopped in!“

“I stopped in after dinner with my date to finally try this place out and we were blown away.

First off: the flavors are amazing. They are both well thought of combinations and absolutely high quality products. This is artisan level ice cream. It is very dense and rich. It kind of reminds me of Italian gelato in a way. I loved the cones as well. You can order a 1, 2, or 3 scoop in a cone or cup. Or cone kind of looking thing in a cup.

The staff here was super nice and friendly. Thank you for your professionalism! I love the atmosphere of the store and it was very modern, clean, and intriguing. I wanted a cone as soon as I walked in.

Price wise, be prepared for expensive ice cream. In my opinion it was worth the purchase for how exceptionally better it was than the vast majority of places I’ve tried around town.

Do yourself the favor and check it out. You will not regret it!“

“One of the best around. Tons of flavors. Reasonable prices. Great staff.“

“super amables yo les doy un 100“

“Stopped in Friday with my kids after school and everyone was beyond kind and the donuts were delicious!!!“

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.“

“very good food decent price . will return for more...“

“best froyo at the harvard community!“

“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!“

“For picky Kiddos…You all may not know you can request hard scoop, which is your traditional scoop of ice cream before it’s made with the machine the New Zealand way. The staff are soooo accommodating and friendly. Color changing spoons are a Bonus.“

“They have the best ice cream and the customer service is top tier“

“Great family-owned ice cream shop! Great management and staff! We enjoy partnering with them regularly!“

“Huge variety of bubble teas, rolled ice creams and frozen drinks. I had a Mangonada with a tamarind stick and it DELICIOUS!!“

“Amazing cherry like always“

“Best ice cream spot around hands down! Make sure to try the strawberry lemonade though. My goodness! 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Ordered an ice cream cake for Easter. It was delicious!!!“

“First time there. Milk shakes were sweet nostalgia. Had that flavor that reminded me of home made ice cream as a kid.“

“First time there and we just got in love with this place“

“Yesterday I was in to get a birthday cake and was inspired by an act of kindness. A young woman with some cognitive disabilities came in asking some unusual questions. The owner, who was working the shop by himself at the time, was so patient with her and kind. He treated her with respect and even gave her a free drink. These sorts of moments need to be recognized!“

“Awesome ice cream - all the time“

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

“Very good and really tasty. if there is a line . its worth waiting don't leave.“

“Toscanini's has been my favorite ice cream spot for over 20 years. Even as I've moved around and lived in other cities, I always make a point to visit whenever I'm back in the Boston area. But a recent experience cemented my loyalty for life.

On Presidents' Day, our family showed up around 5 pm, not realizing the shop was closed for the holiday. When we couldn't open the door, we started knocking, thinking it was just stuck. Gus, the owner, came out and let us know they were closed for the day, but then asked us what we were looking for. We told him we were hoping to grab a pint, and he told us to wait just a moment. A few minutes later, he came back with a big bag full of different pints and let us walk away with two of them, suggesting we could come back and pay another day when they were actually open (or perhaps he didn't care!). We came back and paid two weeks later.

Thanks, Gus. You're amazing!“

“What I love about Van Leeuwen is that it's the only Ice Cream store that's open late. After dinner in the Seaport with 3 friends we decided to go get Ice Cream. It was 10pm and Van was the only late night Ice Cream store in the Seaport. That was very helpful and we all order a triple scoop. It's also the best tasting ice cream in the neighborhood.“

“Went for some pizza. Order at the counter got three slices to split with hubby. Proper pepperoni-pepperoni pizza with burrata and hot honey (my favorite one) Cheese and Milanese- cheese pizza with chicken cutlet and red peppers. We also wanted to try the arancini- made with prosciutto instead of ground beef. You can take it to go but we decided to stay and eat. Beautifully decorated. The owner Stefano was so nice and checked on us to see if we needed anything. As we were leaving we stopped at the gelato counter and got a gelato to go. I had the oreo. Soooo good! We will be back!“

“A Sweet Surprise Along the Way

We stopped by just in passing, on our way to visit a university — and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be!

The ice cream was delicious, with just the right balance of flavor — not overly sweet like many others. It was refreshing and satisfying.

What truly made the experience special was Mónica’s service. She was empathetic, kind, and patient — qualities that are becoming rare these days and that we deeply appreciated.

The place itself was spotlessly clean and beautifully presented, adding to the charm of the visit.

All in all, a wonderful little discovery. Thank you for such a delightful stop!“

“Really incredible - creamy, perfect consistency, nice flavors including a plain sweet cream (which can be difficult to find), and some fun ones like right now fresh rose, also sweet corn is incredibly delicious. I also enjoyed the burnt sugar flavor. A Cambridge classic. Would highly recommend the homemade whipped cream as well. This is my favorite ice cream in Cambridge by far! Probably in my top 5 in the state too“

“We recently ordered a large quantity of hot fudge for our sons wedding in Delaware because Rancs has the best hot fudge anywhere!! It was a huge success! We can’t thank the owner Joe enough. He was able to get us that large order and package it for our drive to Delaware! Thank you Joe for everything!! You’re the best!!!!“

“Loved this place! Beware that the mini 12 oz. Size looks small on the screen, but is more than enough for one person!

Loved the plentiful toppings and over the top sweetness this establishment packs in.

Very happy with my selection.

Wife enjoyed her thiccc boy flavor with the cookie dough being abundant throughout the entire cup!

Would love to have one of these open up in Colorado!“

“Not only is this a great place to get all your ice cream during those hot days But some of the best fudge in chocolate covered treats in the area as well I personally recommend the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and the Wintergreen chocolate candies“

“super amables yo les doy un 100“

“Has a great seafood platter fried clams Were especially tender“

“Super leckeres Joghurteis in einer riesigen Auswahl, dazu ein riesiges Angebot an Toppings. Super lecker :)“

“Ice cream is always excellent.“

“Kyo Matcha is a newly opened Matcha and other flavor dessert spot located near the HMart of Brookline.

I came here during the grand opening and other subsequent times, and the lines were out the door. There is outdoor seating, but it felt a little congested with how the line moved. Inside there is a few photo op areas but it's mainly indoor seating.

The service was fast and efficient, and the food came out quickly. The staff were understanding to any allergies and were accommodating with replacements on the menu.

The food was of decent quality, but could've been better. I tried the Matcha Crepe Layer Cake, the Brown Sugar Boba Milk Cap Cake, and Parfait with Matcha Ice Cream.

The Matcha Crepe Layer Cake was really good, very light and fluffy with a soft texture. The Brown Sugar Milk Cap cake was a little on the heavier side, with the sweetness of the boba being a bit overwhelming for me, but still enjoyable.

I really enjoyed the Matcha Parfait, however I saw in photos that there should be two layers of ice cream, one on the bottom and one on top. When I received mine, there was barely any on the bottom, instead it was packed with the toppings. This didn't really bother me but it did make it only toppings once I finished the layer of Matcha ice cream on top.

The prices here are a bit on the expensive side for desserts, but comparable to other matcha dessert places.“

“Loyal customer, grew up in Norwood & I was coming here when Facebook reviews were called Word-Of-Mouth… still has the best Orange Sherbert around, glad I can take my kids here & keep a tradition rollin’ along 👍“

“I always have such a great time there! The milkshakes are amazing, and my favorite is always the coconut with chopped Reese’s pieces, I have already recommended it to a lot of people. It’s where I like to hang out with my friend after school to enjoy something delicious.The price is also pretty affordable.“
