“This is a little hidden gem! If you want homemade Peruvian food, this is the place to go. It’s not very big so be ready to wait a bit if you go during a busy time on the weekends. The owners are very nice and the food is absolutely delicious!“

“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!“

They are made with homemade cookies, so delicious. Maggie is crushing it! The owner Matthew is so kind and friendly and openly invites suggestions! **Allergy friends, they keep all nuts separate from everything else in the back. We were very pleased. We’ve already made two trips this week!!“

“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!“

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

“Cool place to go great customer service an good ice cream“

“Finally, wonderful, premium ice cream creations offered in good proportions. None of the artisanal-ice-cream-served-in-a-thimble nonsense here, but whatever size you want, from a taste to gut-busting with excellent ingredients and toppings.

It is pricey, but worth it.“

“I really liked this little place. They had a good variety of flavors. Loved the burnt caramel. The fruity cereal was OK too, but the bourbon maple pecan was my favorite out of the three. Despite the line it moved pretty quick too, so dont let that sway you. Worth a try.“

“is the best ever ice crem a had in my life“

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

“My bowl comes out right every time. I love the açaí and the seven free toppings 🤩🤩. I believe this is a small, family owned business: they are always attentive to your order, they will even call you to confirm if you want a specific topping or not! It’s apparent that they work hard and they care about their customers. Great, consistent customer service and bowls. I am so happy they exist.“

“Hands down the best M&M ice cream I’ve ever had! I don’t live local anymore but when I’m in town I bring a cooler and buy quarts to go home with me. It’s that good.“

“Came in on a busy Friday night. The team was working hard and still taking care of their guest well. If you’re a chocolate lover, the chocolate mouse cheesecake is incredible. They also have delicious milkshakes! Could not recommend enough.“

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

“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“

“This ice cream shop is a real gem! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of waffle cones and sweet treats fills the air. The selection of flavors is fantastic, with something for everyone .

The ice cream itself is incredibly creamy and flavorful. Each scoop is packed with rich taste, and the quality is evident in every bite. The staff is friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and a recommendation. The shop is clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant environment to enjoy your treat.“

“The staff, service and food were all exceptional. The atmosphere is relaxing and the menu is very interesting, especially the cocktail menu. The presentation of the food is impeccable and the staff is very attentive, making sure the water is filled and that the check is ready when we were finished. A perfect balance and what every restaurant should strive to mimic. A must try if you want to find a place that is unique. Thanks to the staff for a fun evening.“

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!!!!“

This place is reasonably priced, moves the line quick, and most importantly has THE best Richardson’s ice cream. My favorite is the peanut butter oreo! Not just dog friendly but dog lovers! The girl who took my order loved my dog and even told me that they can have soft serve vanilla! Now me and my dog can get a tasty treat from this amazing shop!“

“All their ice cream is delicious, but their soft serve in multiple flavors is amazing! 💕“

“The cookie sandwiches are out of control good. It was hard to choose but I’m glad I can’t get here easily or often because I would want to eat one every day. There was a small food tour in the day I went by, and I asked if it was a vegan food tour. It wasn’t; the ice cream is just so good that self-declared Omni “foodies” want it too!“

“delicious banana splits and fruit dessert deliciosas banana splits y postres de frutas“

“I went to Michele's to buy too ice creams totaling 16 dollars and something cents plus a 3 dollar tip ..I have my little shitzoo with me my sandy was thirsty because it's hot and muggy out side so I asked the girl if I could have a small cup of ice water for my dog and she tells the price of the water was 2.50 I said for tap water and she saids yes we're low on ice so I said just give me a small cup of tap water without ice for my dog and I will pay for the cup ..the manager turns around and saids no we can't do that... so I ask him why your not dog friendly or you don't like dogs he then tells me he has no tap water ..what a joke...then he said his brother is the manager and he needs to follow the rules so I said to him your going to lose a customer and get a bad review on yelp over a small cup of tap water and he said yes so here we are ....he just lost a customer over tap water I am a dog lover my dog goes everywhere with me and I never had a problem going to any other place for tap water for my dog so this brings me to one conclusion that they don't care for animals and any place that don't like animals I don't want anything to do with so all you animal lovers don't go to Michele's ice cream because there are so many icecream places around the surrounding areas that are pet friendly...shame on you guys ..“

“Absolutely the best ice cream I’ve ever had. I am not generally a big ice cream eater, but I have found myself having a bowl of the chocolate cherry brownie ice cream while its snowing outside!“

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

“bought some fudge. haven't tried it yet though. msg me if you want“

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

“I have been going to JP Licks for years. I was telling the young lady who was serving us. That I use to come to JP Lick when I was in high school. And JP Licks was the only place that made me smile when I was happy, sad , mad or even upset. And their ice cream would cheer me up😃 Thank you JP Licks for always making me smile and also now my kids😃😃😃“

“I just bought some of this because I'm trying to lose weight but I still want a treat. I'm eating the lemon Italian ice right now and it is one of the best things I've ever had in my life. This stuff is amazing!!! I never thought anyone would ever convert me from ice cream but I think you just did it.
I keep saying this is so good... This is so good... I sound like a lunatic. 😂“

“It's delicious, the quality of the product is like No other.“

“GRAHAM CENTRAL FLAVOR IS THE BEST. IVE HAD ANOTHER VERSION OF IT, and this is the BEST VERSION because it has A LOT OF GRAM, and not too many of the crisp chocolate pieces. I’ve looked hard and long to find THIS exact flavor with THE PERFECT GRAM ratio and this is it. Please do not buy from another buyer but continue to get the SAME GRAHAM CENTRAL from whoever you’re getting it from. It’s LEGIT.“

“Amanda, the Director of Operations, was so friendly and efficient. She was easy to work with to plan our corporate ice cream party. The driver who came was also very nice and the ice cream was delicious! Will definitely use Ice Cream on Wheels again!“

“Best chocolate ice cream (milk chocolate straciatella) I’ve had in Cambridge. And I’ve been to 4 or 5 other shops. Creamy, not crystalline mouthfeel. Can’t speak for other flavors but the chocolate was fantastic. And kudos for a chocolate-flavored waffle cone!“
