50 Best Ice Cream Shops near West Roxbury

“Excellent! The best gelato I have ever had. All the flavors I tried were superb.“

“Such a unique and special experience and meal. I went in without a reservation and was able to get a seat. Coolest restaurant menu I’ve ever seen, annotated with so much meaning and history behind every ingredient and dish. I ordered two drinks, a main, and a side. Everything was delicious. After eating, I spent some time sipping a drink on the couch/lounge area looking at their books. An immersive cultural experience. I will be back. You can tell this place has so much love and energy behind it.“

“Discovered this gem while searching for nearby ice cream spots. Though we've passed by it countless times, its name eluded us until now. The interior may be cozy, but its charming décor and ample outdoor seating make up for it. Portion sizes exceeded our expectations; a single scoop suffices due to their generous servings. With a diverse array of flavors, ranging from familiar classics to intriguing blends like banana oreo, our taste buds were in for a treat. Despite initial doubts, the unconventional combinations proved to be a delightful surprise. I opted for the banana oreo, a fusion like no other, and it was a flavor revelation. Meanwhile, my partner savored the white chocolate chocolate chip, equally satisfying. While the bill tallied up to around $11, the quality of service, portion sizes, and flavor variety made it a worthwhile indulgence.“

“Ron’s is truly a hidden jewel, the ice cream is amazing and you’re going to love the bowling alley.“

“Best Donut shop I have ever experienced. I went in at 8:30am. Was warmly greeted and asked if it was my first time. They gave me a quick overview of the menu. I ordered a Large Iced Cafe Mocha, Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Bagel and a Peanut Butter Paradise donut. I also bout a little $3 blue rubber ducky to support charity.I am very impressed. My drink tastes great. The bagel sandwich is so good! Bagel is toasted but still soft, which I say as a good thing. The bacon tastes fresh and delicious. Egg and cheese are on point.There is no drive through but it was worth stopping by. Plenty of parking. The food and drink were done quickly. It was very clean and organized.I will be back for sure. There was no wait today however in time I think this place is going to have a line out the door in the morning. It was good enough I was compelled to write a review while sitting in my car sipping my iced mocha and eating my sandwich. I hope this business does well and is around for a long time.Parking: Plenty of parking. It is in the same lot as the Walpole mall. Right next to Texas Roadhouse. Many entrances and exits to the parking lot.“

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

“We've been going to Cha Yen regularly since they opened, and their Thai food is a blessing to the Watertown community! The food is always delicious and fresh, and they are excellent at accommodating substitutions. We normally do takeout, but dine in is also great and we can't wait until they open their larger space across the street. If you are looking for excellent Thai food, give Cha Yen a chance!“

“Wow, what a delight! Amazing flavors (pistachio tahini was my favorite) and the owner couldn't have been kinder and more generous with our family. Every business owner should emulate the way he treats his customers. We'll be back soon!!“

“A new local favourite. A colourful, welcoming storefront with a plethora of choices. You will never grow bored or simply go for the standard safe flavours of chocolate or vanilla. I can never decide which flavour to choose, so I keep coming back for more.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options available.Kid-friendliness: They are patient and offer choices in kid sized portions.Wheelchair accessibility: All in one level with ample space inside as well as outdoors seating.“

“So happy they finally opened!! The matcha donut is my favorite, must try!!“

“There are many ice cream flavors and different sizes to choose from. I ordered three flavors: 3B, Earl gray, and Kulfi. They were all delicious. Among them, 3B (brown sugar, brown butter, brownie) is the signature flavor and the most amazing. It has a strong creamy aroma and is surprisingly not overly sweet. , paired with brownie to make the taste richer. Earl Gray tea has a very elegant taste. The aroma of bergamot comes first in the mouth, and the tea flavor comes out later, with an endless aftertaste. Kulfi is cardamom-flavored ice cream with chopped nuts. It feels like drinking Indian spiced milk tea. There is a large table and some sofas in the store, and there is also water for guests to take by themselves, which is very considerate.“

“The ice cream is fabulous AND they have vegan options too. Everything is homemade, including the baked goods. There is also a small section for a variety of candy. The owner and staff are super nice. Service is outstanding. I highly recommend- this as a must try if you visit the north end.“

“Finally, got to try This place. They had soft Opening which was not to best. The ordering process was pretty smooth . The wait was not to long. We got the infamous Sho-Gun Matcha/Vanilla Soft Serve Mix With Edible 24K gold , Maiko Special (Parfait) Hojicha/Strawberry Mix Soft Serve and Matcha Latte Float. Everything was so rich in favor. The matcha favor is probably the best that I had so far. You can taste the quality of the soft serve. It's a bit pricy but worth every penny. Definitely, need to try them out“

“Best dinner in a very long time!Dietary restrictions: Dairy free, fat free options for ice cream. Diabetic friendly candy selection in store.Parking: Right at the door. Ice Cream service at outside windows.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.“

“I’ve gone with my grandfather and mom to Cabot’s for over 10+ years. They have the best ice cream! Highly recommend the Patriot Parfait: A tower of Strawberry, and Vanilla ice cream with strawberry and blueberry sauce, with whipped cream and a cherry on top. They also have tasty reuben sandwiches. Staff are friendly, and the owner is lovely. Usually a bit of a wait, but that’s due to how popular the restaurant is. They also sell ice cream birthday cakes, if you are looking for that.“

“With a rainbow of flavors to choose from, each scoop is a journey of indulgence, whether you're craving a classic cone or a daringly decadent sundae. But it's not just about the ice cream – it's the experience. The cheerful jingle that announces its arrival, the friendly face behind the counter, and the joyous atmosphere it brings to campus life. So next time you hear the familiar chime, don't miss your chance to treat yourself“

“Amazing Vegan Ice cream. I have a dairy allergy and I’ve tried a lot of different vegan desserts. These taste exactly like the regular desserts. I had the grasshopper pie with hot fudge and it was amazing. You can even buy toppings for at home use - I bought a jar of hot fudge! Also I love the take a drawing/poem and leave one. I want to do it next time! Would love to see a vegan ice cream flight! Or little ice cream sandwiches.“

“Amazing ice cream! I was skeptical at first about what vegan ice cream tasted like but was proven wrong and found it very tasty. I especially enjoyed the strawberry ice cream and will be coming again!Vegetarian options: It’s vegetarian, AND vegan.“

“Good packing space and good drinks !!“

“The BEST most authentic, clean tasting, yummy froyo“

“Even from the menu, you could tell that this is authentically Brazilian. They offer many authentic topping options, such as brigadeiros. This place is significantly better than those chain açai and juice spots in town. However, the price was very high!“

“My first time (after hearing that the cookies were the bomb) & I must say that Cumbl did NOT disappoint. The cookies were warm, huge and tasted amazing. Were able to split them with a few gals and we all loved them. Staff was also super friendly. Nice & chill atmosphere. Too bad they don’t have a lounge type thing????“

“They made an amazing custom ice cream cake for my husband’s birthday in a pinch, and it was incredible! I wish I had taken some photos, but it was so delicious, it was devoured quickly. They were great to work with & the cake was a hit!“

“Stopped by this quaint little coffee shop the morning I was leaving Boston. It had a nice vibe to it. And such a variety! Ice cream. Pastries that looked amazing. Expensive variety of different copies espresso‘s ect. The music was and atmosphere made you feel like you were in Italy. Nice little outside area to sit and enjoy the beautiful street going ons. Will go back to try again to try more of their wares.“

“A family owned sandwich shop where the food is delicious, fresh and made with love. A wide variety to choose from and also has Richardson’s ice cream. Wonderful customer service. Definitely worth a try. The paninis are especially delicious. You’ll end up being a regular. Very reasonable prices.“

“Awesome ice cream - all the time“

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

“This place is amazing! Great neighborhood business, delicious Ice Cream. Cool people!“

“delicious ice cream from what seems to be a small mom and pop shop! they have plenty of interesting flavors as well as the classic flavors. I ordered their cookies and cream ice cream which was delicious. their scoops are generous and they have plenty of sizes to choose from. they also have a variety in cones which allow for endless combinations. their staff is so sweet and make sure to provide you with the best service. they a small bar where you can eat your ice cream and only two chairs outside. it seems more like a grab and go place with people going to explore the area after ordering.“

“I have such fond memories coming here throughout the years. I was originally introduced to this location a few years ago by the kids I babysat, since they lived in Waltham and the Belmont Center location was closer than the Newtonville one. We kept going back and it was delicious every time! My go to flavor is the hydrox cookies and cream. It won't let you down! The staff is mainly juniors and seniors in high school and they're so nice to guests and are hustling on the job (and supporting eachother on their college adventures which you love to see). There's not many seats inside but that was never a problem for us. Besides, it's nicely located in Belmont Center so you can also walk around a bit, or sit outside if you'd like. :)“

“Great! Ice cream is high quality, cookies are huge, and portion sizes for the prices are reasonable. Overall, good quality, friendly folks working, and an easy place to want to return to. It is kind of niche in terms of cookie sandwiches but if that's what you're after, I'd highly recommend.“

“This place is the bomb and it's such a cute ice cream parlor! The person working was Ta-Neja and she recommended the most delicious ice cream flavors, I immediately changed my original choice to whatever she said! Come here!!!! You won't be disappointed :) also, the flavors I got were Carmel truffle and graham station!! :)“

“Ice cream is always excellent.“

“Good soup:If the owner/manager is listening - please crank those freezers.I would love to give Lizzy's a full five star review for the taste alone, but I can't (at least right now). The ice cream was incredibly tasty and the shop was really cute, but the ice cream itself was too soupy to stay on the cone. The first ice cream we ordered melted before it reached our hands. The scooper asked if we wanted a cup and planted the ice cream scoop side down. The cup quickly filled with soupy ice cream before we reached the table. We decided to pull out the big guns for the second ice cream and went with a waffle cone, which started out strong. A few minutes in disaster struck and the cone split in half, sparing my shirt but leaving me coneless.Great ice cream and lots of laughs - just needs to be frozen“

“Greet ice cream shop with a huge menu. My father brought me coconut ice cream from here as that's one of the only flavors I typically like and I was very surprised by how good it was. He loves the chocolate. Definitely worth a try if ever in the area. Will definitely try more flavors in the future.“

“They were closing for season 11/26; so had to stop in for a graham central station cone. Excellent flavor . Ordered small cone and was a good size double scoop. Nice young personable girl serving and doing excellent job as line employee and consistent business flow of customers. Very reasonable price for ice cream compared to other ice cream spots I visit. Will be back in spring“

“Been loving my delicious FORGE order for days! Egg sandwiches, 1/2 dozen bagels, tub of chix salad, crusty loaf of bread, flaky croissants & crumbly scones, cookies... YUM YUM YUM! Thanks to you all for all this delicious food - that I didn’t have to make!“

“The perfect ending to the perfect wedding. We had Frosty come towards the end of my son's wedding reception as a surprise to everyone. After a fun night of eating, drinking and dancing it was the perfect ending. What fun so many guests posted pictures having an ice cream. The attendant was fun and helpful and moved quickly. I highly recommend Frosty for any occasion, who doesn't love an ice cream!“

“Good ice cream! We Support local businesses!“

“The hype is true! These cannoli are incredible! So tasty! The filling was very fresh and delicious. $7 per Cannoli might seem much but only one is enough to fill you up - at least for the next 1-2 hours. Absolutely recommended!PS: Get the Pistacchio Cannoli and Pecan Caramel Cannoli - both are heaven!Vegetarian options: Well, I think everything there is veggie but sweet :)“

“If you want soft-serve ice cream, they have it. Onion rings and frappes? Yep. Clam rolls, scallops, and fries? Indeed. Perfect place to go for cheat day or just yummy food. Family run, good service. No public bathroom, just a portapotty tho'.“

“Walked down from the T station after an evening game at Fenway, close to our hotel.Some of the best ice cream we’ve had!Both had the cookies and cake batter (one flavor, may be called something else) and then also a scoop of oatmeal butterscotch cookie dough.They did offer flavor samples, which I really appreciate. Place was clean, staff was friendly, the atmosphere was laid back and had plenty of game options available and cute artwork.“

“If you like ice cream, then you must try Abbott's Frozen Custard because it's like ice cream on steriods. Creamier, smoother and it's apparently made fresh every single day on-site (you can watch the fresh custard coming out of their machine over the counter if you time your visit right!). There are a fair amount of storefronts in Needham center that have changed over the past decade but there's a reason why Abbott's has remained. Highly recommend getting one of the pies for a special occasion. I love the PB cup pie. Always a nice change of pace for thanksgiving or when bringing a dessert to a party. Abbott’s does it right!“

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

“We just made our second visit, as we live in Western New York. We first came in 2019 and my husband was able to experience ice cream for the first time in 20 years. Thank you so much for all of your time and efforts into making your ice cream so delicious and so worth the trip. We look forward to visiting every time we are in the area.“

“Love the customer service, great Black owned Business. Nice Art on the Walls and health yet great options for something sweat. Love the Acai bowls and the drinks are something worth tryingVegetarian options: Most things are vegetarian by default like acai bowls, milkshakes and ice cream just because it would be werid if they had meat in it.Dietary restrictions: Non-dairy options great for those who can't have dairy“

“YUMMMM. Kept seeing them on TikTok and decided to stop by on my roadtrip. Got a flight to try a bunch of delicious flavors. All of them were tasty, even the Orange Olive Oil Brownie, which I was kinda skeptical of. Bunny Tracks, Peanut Butter Fudge Swirl, and Chocolate Stracchiatella were all phenomenal aswell!“
