It is pricey, but worth it.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I'm updating my new favorite here. Orange sherbert freeze. It's so refreshing. They combine sherbert, seltzer water, and syrup. I have them add a pump of raspberry syrup. It's so good!!! Best drink on a hot day. I also love their banana split sooo yummy. All their ice cream/full menu is amazing. Plus, open all year round.

Been going here for years. Excellens ice cream parlor. Recent visit in August 2021 got the rainbow sherbet. You could taste each flavor. Was great!“

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 great!! The staff is awesome and always soooo kind. Never had a bad experience here and never will. 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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is the best ice cream spot in Boston. All the employees there are super friendly, super accommodating, and always have a smile on their face! I go here regularly and the ice cream is fantastic.

“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😃😃😃“

“Ice cream is always excellent.“

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

“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!“

“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.“
