And their ice cream would cheer me up😃 Thank you JP Licks for always making me smile and also now my kids😃😃😃“

The smiles on their faces have never been wider. I hope Miss Dianne (love her) remembers the grin on their faces as I do. From time to time they will even chant her name 😂 bless this amazing company and sweet Dianne.“

“MMmmmmmmmMm, very yummy and reasonable prices, happy I found you“

“After a swim meet, we always head to ice cream. This place ed highly recommended. It had lots of flavors as a base - and two size cups. It had lots of fruit, cookies, bites, sprinkles, and wet toppings. And you pay by weight. I highly suggest stopping by.“

“Best ice cream around , is it apple pie ice cream time yet ?“

“We really like these cookies. Some flavors more than others. Only problem we have had is that I placed an order online in the morning and scheduled pickup for that evening. When I arrived at the store, 45 minutes away, they were sold out and the store was closed. I had already paid for my order in advance about 10 hours earlier that day. I had to call the manager the next day for a refund. I understand that they had unexpected sales. But if you paid in advance, the order should have been put aside. Despite the situation, the employee and manager were nice and I received my refund.“

“Still great 40 years after first going there! This is the OG flavored waffle cone and mix-ins place before it was even a thing. Quality ice cream, solidly good flavor, nice staff. Don't be fooled by the fancy gelato and Asian ice cream shops... Have the real deal legit quality ice cream here.“

“I’m giving this place a 5—because they had my wife's favorite ice cream, Rocky Road. We've had a tough time finding it lately, so this was a sweet surprise. The ice cream tastes great… but let’s be honest, it’s ice cream—it *has* to be good.“

“OMG yes! Highly recommend Orange Leaf. The employees are all so professional and kind. They are accommodating and so pleasant when you call. And for the Yogurt and products? OMG THE BEST! My favorite is the no sugar added chocolate yogurt but my hubby's favorite is the strawberry cheesecake shake! He loves the smoothies too but the shake is his fav! Bottom line you have to try them. Their customer service is AMAZING staff are all wonderful and the products are delicious❤❤❤“

“Wow. What a gem you have here in Boston. Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. If you ever decide to franchise sign me up.“

“I recommend Rancatores because the ice cream is so good! and the service is amazing.“

“Victoria was amazing. She greeted me with a smile. She smiled while she was making me a perfectly decorated birthday cookie. Yup I got the birthday cookie for my birthday cookie. She took that extra second to make sure it was perfect. Thank you Victoria I really appreciate you. And of course Crumbl cookies are always the best cookies.“

“Not only is this a great place to get all your ice cream during those hot days But some of the best fudge in chocolate covered treats in the area as well I personally recommend the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and the Wintergreen chocolate candies“

“Best Ever!!! Must try delivery available“

“Tucked away among charming brownstone shops and patio dining is Ben & Jerry's flagship Boston location on historic Newbury Street.

Iconic Vermont-based ice cream parlor chain, known for its creative, cleverly named flavors.
Address: 174 Newbury St, Boston, MA 02116, United States

Ben & Jerry's sources milk from hundreds of local farms. Ben & Jerry's ice cream is made through a 13-step process that starts with sourcing milk from local farms and ends with filling pints.

Ben & Jerry's proudly serves up its legendary scoops, milkshakes, and fresh-baked waffle cones here – a short walk from Copley Square.“

“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“

“I have never ordered a sundae before, never finished the entire thing with a smile, and never felt like I needed to go to an ice cream shop weekly until I came here. It's a good thing it's juuust far enough away from my house to not entice me daily.

EVERYTHING is vegan! And I was so impressed with the flavors. They didn't make up for any lacks with more sugar either. I felt satisfied and like the flavor I got was well-balanced, with it being birthday cake, a flavor I never get for fear of it being weird or overly sweet. It was perfect. Their lemon flavor I tried was amazing too.

I got the cookie sundae type with the brownie cookies. amazing. So excited to go back. It IS pricey though.“

“Cute little location in the heart of Fenway Park. I knew going in that I wanted to try the Marshmallow Sky flavor that's exclusive to Scoop Shops, so I can't speak to the variety of flavors available. I wanted to grab a pint, but apparently this shop doesn't do pints. Regardless, I enjoyed my ice cream and the employee was very friendly. Ben & Jerry's is a great addition to the neighborhood (but not to my wallet)!“

“this was my first time at ron's and i can only eat vegan ice cream. the draw was their peanut butter oreo flavor, since most places only off vegan vanilla or chocolate. it was the best ice cream i have ever had. i will absolutely be back“

“The cold brew floats are my new go to dessert. Highly recommended.“

“Passing through Dorchester last year, I discovered a hidden gem. I’ve been to Love Health Café three times, and every visit has been a pleasure so far. The team here is consistently warm and customer service oriented—they always listen and ensure my order is exactly as requested. As someone who pays close attention to food safety and cleanliness (cutting bananas with bare hands is a NO-NO for me and trying to save on the cost of gloves while navigating food and money is a definite NO NO, so please don’t change!).

I’m pleased to see handwashing and clean practices in action; quality and care are evident throughout my experience. I was intentional about waiting to do this review, and I’m always willing to update as needed.

Love Health Café offers “Mmmm 😋😋” dairy-free options, and the food truly stands out—freshly made, flavorful, and so far, satisfying. The price points are very fair compared to other chains, especially considering everything is prepared to order. Meeting the founders was a wonderful bonus (featured in the pictures); they’re an engaging couple committed to health and good service.

I look forward to coming back. Here’s a new tagline for them: “Where Love and Health Blend—especially in every smoothie and açai bowl!” As of now, I highly recommend!“

“In reference to Ben and Gerry’s, located at the Prudential Center,, Boston, MA, a young employee named Maggie went above and beyond to provide exceptional service. I took my children and grandson for ice cream on Thursday, July 17, in the afternoon.
Aside from Maggie’s professionalism and beautiful courtesy in serving us (often a rare combination in the service industry) I watched her deal with an incredibly rude customer with such graciousness and self control. The customer was completely out of line and I was so impressed with how Maggie de-escalated the situation and kept her professional composure, especially for such a young woman. Maggie is a credit to the company and I would highly recommend this establishment based on the character of this young woman. I hope she is recognized for her invaluable contribution to Ben and Gerry’s, Prudential Center, Boston.“

“I went to the store a random day just to buy a box of cookies, I received an excellent service from a Venezuelan 🇻🇪 guy who was working that day! He presented me the box with the cookies inside with a really exciting and professional attitude. Love to see people who actually like their jobs!! 😁“

“Every year, I drive from Dartmouth to Foxboro just to come and get my favorite ice cream- Love Position #31. Every time I come, the manager and team always are friendly and w a smile 😃. I really appreciate the fast service that I get when I am there.“
