Nothing bad about my experience today (Saturday 11/2)“

“I frequently visit Wally's because of my deep love of ice cream. I typically enjoy the Purple Cow flavor in a sundae. But when Fall hits, my kryptonite is PUMPKIN OREO. Whoever came up with that flavor is a mad scientist/genius. I keep going back for it every few days. I even call Wally's beforehand to make sure they still have it in stock. Haha. Dedication.“

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

“Best Ever!!! Must try delivery available“

“JP Licks on Centre Street is the quintessential local ice cream shop that I can’t get enough of. The lines may be long, but that only heightens the anticipation for the decadent, creamy ice cream that awaits. Each visit feels like a small adventure, and I know that whatever flavor I choose, it’s bound to be amazing.

The atmosphere is vibrant and friendly, with staff members who often look like college students hustling to make ends meet. They’re always cheerful and eager to help, adding to the welcoming vibe of the place. It’s clear that they enjoy what they do, which makes the experience even better.

But let’s talk about the ice cream—it truly speaks for itself. With an incredible variety of flavors, each scoop is rich, smooth, and packed with taste. You can genuinely taste the quality in every bite. While the prices reflect this quality, they’re a bit steep, which is my only downside. When I was an EMT, I used to treat myself more often, but now I find myself going less frequently, not because I don’t want to, but because it’s not exactly cheap.

JP Licks has become my go-to spot, and it’s easy to see why the locals flock here. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick treat or a leisurely evening with friends, this ice cream shop delivers every time. I can’t recommend it enough!“

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

“Dairy Queen, or as we all love to call it, DQ, is an absolute classic that serves up more than just ice cream—it's pure joy in a cup! This spot is a gem with its super-friendly and lightning-fast staff who make every visit feel like a mini celebration. They've got allergy-friendly options down to an art, so everyone can dig in without a worry. Parking might be a bit of a squeeze, but no worries—side streets have got you covered. And hey, during rush hour, ditch the left turn and swing right into the brand-new roundabout just 100 feet away—smooth sailing ahead!

“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.“

“Super leckeres Joghurteis in einer riesigen Auswahl, dazu ein riesiges Angebot an Toppings. Super lecker :)“

“I am shamelessly obsessed with ice cream, and Ron’s is in my top three in Massachusetts. Always fresh and creamy, with well executed flavors. Make sure to try one of their sundaes; the hot fudge tastes how I remember it as a kid. On busy nights, I order online and pick up in the convenient freezer near the door.

Parking: Large free parking lot across the street.“

“Love their original yogurt but hate how this is so far from me but one of the only few froyo spots left has a variety of topping options and about 6 different flavors (original, vanilla bean, chocolate, strawberry from what I can remember)

Parking: Side street parking and out front“

“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“

“its pricey but we didnt have to pay today so it's all good lol“

“The best icecream � for the hot days in Boston ��“

“Delicious! I came to here because it was the closest to my area and I have wanted to try fro-yo for so long! But after I found this way better then I ever expected! They looked like they had over 15 fro-yo options and over 30 toppings! It was incredible! Definitely will come again. And the açaí bowls were great as well!“

“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.“

“Cute little ice cream shop, but definitely a bit overpriced for what you get. One scoop in a cup is about $6.50. If the quality matched the price, I’d be all for it, but I have had better ice cream that’s slightly cheaper. They have some fun flavors though! I got a double chocolate with cookie dough.“

“Location: use GPS, Then easiest for me was to park on south side of building. Cannot drive along west side of bldg. Entrance around corner, southwest side. Can eat inside , a few small tables.. some picnic tables outside. I think it gets busy based on time of day, season, and if weekday or weekend. About 2 blocks from Norwood center. Selection: both hard and soft serve. Today's pricing average, From kiddie cone, 3 sizes, or dish. Can share the banana splits etc. well done. First time I found it. Will return if in area.

Parking: Near center. Once God gets u to bldg, see other notes.“

“Best dinner in a very long time!

“Who doesn’t loveeee a great tasting ice cream served the old fashioned way … nothing fancy or trendy just great tasting ice cream served at the perfect temperature! There are so many kinds of America’s favorite dessert and JP has so many varieties both with and without lactose plus toppings that it’s heaven sent. And we are also supporting our local ice cream shop :) My favorite is the hot fudge sundae on mint chip ice cream sprinkled with Oreo chips and real whipped cream. Perfection. And there’s always a happy crowd of locals with giddy children laughing and international visitors smiling and chatting. The world is at peace over a few scoops of frozen cream…

Parking: Free parking after 6pm

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy entry“

“The staff here is extremely helpful, usually high school kids at the register and taking orders.
There are PLENTY yummy flavors to select from and they also have vegan options. The vegan oreo is my fav and the strawberry cheesecake sundae with vegan vanilla is AMAZING!

My only issue is that there are no clear instructions on the ordering process. Do you order first then pay or pay then get your ice cream?!? I've seen both happen at several visits, and folks who may have arrived before someone else may get/ have been missed.

Outside of that one flaw, I enjoy this place. I would certainly recommend Daddy's Dairy to anyone looking for a nice ice cream spot.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan ice cream available.“

“I love Crumbl. It definitely satisfies any sweet tooth craving you have. Their cakes have definitely been better than their cookies lately! I would definitely recommend coming to crumbl whenever you’re in the mood for something sweet. But beware sometimes their cookies are under baked.“

“We were recommended Scoop N Scootery by a chef's wife who couldn't stop raving about their sundaes, and I have to admit, it was worth the trip. I'm not usually someone who craves ice cream, but my girlfriend is the opposite, so we had to check it out. The moment we walked in, Harry Potter was playing on the TV, setting a nostalgic and fun vibe right off the bat.

We went for their “Gannondorf” sundae, and it was a showstopper—blueberry ice cream, a brownie base, blueberries, pie crust, and a mountain of whipped cream. It was indulgent, and the quality of the blueberries and toppings really stood out. We’ve already ordered it again because it was that good.

They have an impressive lineup of ice cream and froyo flavors, plus even more tempting sundaes to choose from. My only wish is that they made the ice cream and toppings visible—being able to see what’s available always helps me get in the mood for a treat. The handwritten chalkboard menu is a bit hard to read and feels a bit overwhelming, especially with so many options.

It’s a massive space with very little seating, most of which are bar tops. It would be nice to have some lower tables and create more of a community atmosphere.

Also they’re somehow open till 1am so… go wild you night owls“

“Had my 1st time order of their Hawaiian Grilled Cheese; YUMS! I was taken back from their use of BBQ sauce, makes the sandwich super sweet, but honestly, I'd order it again!“

“Whoever the dude was working August 13 2024 around 1ish? I got small bowl of phish food w rainbow sprinkles and it’s the best scoop of phish food I’ve ever had and sprinkles ratio was on point. Thankyou. I am the street team with new dia. I love this location. Everyone’s always really nice and give good scoops for the price I can’t take a picture I ate it all“

“Absolutely delicious 5 stars❤“

“The experience from entering to leaving was pleasant + it’s nice to have a healthy jucie and smoothie bar in the Dorchester / Grovehall area. The owner had a smile and greeted me and my friend at the register, his professionalism was truly great & refreshing, the bar size is decent and the atmosphere is chill with some beautiful wall artwork! I had the Superfoods Green Monster Smoothie added Passionfuit along with the Love Bowl & it was a HIT ?? I think I was the first to mix up my smoothie, and that was owners words, so try it out!!

Kid-friendliness: Open to all sizes, ages, color & creed!

Wheelchair accessibility: You can roll in and roll out“

“We love this place. Very nice dessert and service.“
