“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.“

“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“

It's window service. Hard ice cream soft ice cream, and sorbet. There are benches at the front and behind the building.

I've always gotten the hard ice cream. Mississippi mud (coffee ice cream with fudge) is my favorite. I've seen people order flurries (soft ice cream with mix ins), they are so full they don't fit in the cup!“

“- ordered a large waffle cone and it comes with 3 scoops of ice cream
- the mango ice cream flavour tasted so good!
- not that much space inside to sit down and enjoy the ice cream but you can walk around the market afterwards too
- the line and how the flow of the orders could be a bit more efficient and organized
- it would’ve been nice a display of the difference in sizes of the ice cream cones“

Good service.(Original)Muy buenos helados y un muy buen precio. Probamos Fresa con crema, fresa natural, coco y el de pistacho, todos deliciosos! Buen servicio.“

“File d'attente d'environ 20 minutes. Endroit tres sombre. J'ai pris le #4 taiyaki avec crème glacée matcha et hojicha. C'était très bon. J'étais un peu déçu que la personne qui prépare mon dessert ne prenne pas la peine de me demande si je veux ou pas les garnitures, j'ai eu un peu de difficulté à avoir son attention avant qu'il ne commence à les mettre.“

“If you are looking for an authentic Peruvian place you must try this hidden gem. Everything was absolutely delicious and affordable. The food came out fast fresh and flavorful. Coming from a person growing up with their grandmother cooking Peruvian food this is the closest I have ever come to her cooking. Kudos to the owner and their staff“

“A cute little ice cream shop in downtown Salem.

Stopped while touring the local October festivities

The staff was super friendly and helpful.

The ice cream was phenomenal. Pistachio had actual pistachios in it.

Highly recommended.“

“Very happy with the young servers that we have met here who are serving us at this Beverly MA Dairy Queen. They are trained well and are friendly and attentive. They are given by the owner of this franchise an opportunity to serve the public and gain confidence in a retail job experience. Especially Mikey and Kimora who recently served us. This is good news for those who read this review. I also am so excited and can’t help it want to share the best good news thatu God sent his son Jesus to die for your and my sins on the cross and if we believe in him we would not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16“

“This is the first time I have been in this store was cozy and amazing. The owner is reliable, honest and operates with integrity. I would like to recommend this store to anyone who is looking for fast food and craving ice cream or needs anything. This store is so convenient and in the nice Boston neighborhood.“

“los helados bueno todo es super rico bueno“

“Shaved Ice. It was the reason we went back there. First went there about 5years ago on a trip to Boston. It was so good and we had talked about going back if we ever got back to Boston. Trouble was we didn't know the name of the place, only that we had walked there from the airport thru a park, and that there was a Dunkin' near by. YAY for Google maps! It took a while but we found it and walked the mile and a half to get there...it IS that good. And reasonably priced.“

“Delicious ice cream! Lots of flavors to choose from. Staff was great.“

“This ice cream spot is a busy spot on the warf to grab ice cream and water. I order strawberry ice cream in a cup with jimmies. The service was mistep. They gave me a strawberry ice cream in a waffle cone. The strawberry ice cream was cold, refreshing, and rich. It was delicious except for the cone. I really wish the water was cold. Warm water on a hot day was gross.“

“I am usually hesitating to get ice cream other than from Kroger or Publix, but this one was really great. Best ice cream I have had for a long time. Very tasty, home made. Only issue, it dripped really fast, so you better start moving it inside right after purchase. Very friendly and patient guys, too - we laughed a lot with them.“

“There is no seating, literally, not a single table or chair for customers in the whole building, not one. Don't even bother if you want to enjoy your pastry's there, you will have to stand and eat them. So walked a few doors down to Modern Pastry, they had great coffee drinks and basically the same pastries with seating and table service. About 40 people at Modern Pastry tonight, 2 people in Mike's, and they we kneeling on the ground eating their pastries. We saw them kneeling and we were like, nope.. I Like Mike's but with no seating in the building, this location is no longer worthy of my biz.“

“very friendly and have delicious donut ice-cream 😍“

“Literally the best ice cream I’ve ever put in my mouth! And if you don’t have a spoon in your hotel room the end of your toothbrush works almost as well! (Photo n comments!)“

“Cookies and Cream“

“Really popular with then HS kids. I always feel better knowing my host son is at Terry’s!“

“Best soft serve in Boston area. No competition. And don’t sleep on the chocolate jimmies- they are amazing“
