Pistachio Ice Cream with Salted Caramel Cookie

Chocolate Chip Cookie

“Cookie Monstah is an ice cream shop that originated from a food truck, now having roots across Massachusetts. This location is based out of Needham, located in a mini mall area right outside of the town center.

The staff are friendly and make orders quite quickly, even when it's close to closing time. The place is kept cleanly, and the atmosphere is nice and has a decent amount of seating outside.

The ice cream is pretty good. It's good in shake form or as regular ice cream, though the prices are a bit expensive. The flavors are pretty good though and it isn't too expensive. Definitely would recommend trying it if you're in the area.“

This was a great surprise and it’s a darn good thing that I don’t live close by. Really, creamy texture and just the right chewiness. Not like bubblegum chewy; am I making sense, here? Generous portions and reasonable prices.

Definitely adding Lizzy’s to my must visit list.“

“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!“

“I used to be a regular here before moving from Cambridge. The flavors are often interesting and enjoyable, though occasionally a bit disappointing.
I tried the lemon frozen yogurt today and really liked it. It was creamy, bright, and citrusy without being too sweet—perfect as a dessert after a filling meal. The mildly sweet and crispy cone chips paired very well with it, adding a nice textural contrast. For an extra $0.50, it felt like a more affordable and unique topping compared to the others.
The place was still very popular on a Friday night, even on a snowy day. I guess it simple makes people happy to have something cold and refreshing in a warm, cozy space while watching the snow fall outside.☺️“
