“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.“

“Great place to bring your kids to bowl. Fresh food good food, in house ice cream. Ron, his son and staff are super friendly and eager for you to have a good time. Ask for the chefs table in the kitchen.Kid-friendliness: They have a metal kids bowling assist. Great place for kids to learnWheelchair accessibility: Several folks bowling were using walkers“
“Solid ice cream shop. It is family owned and sauces and ice cream flavors are made there too. You can sample ice cream flavors before deciding on your order. Recently bought banana lazy bar and it was delicious. Who knew banana flavored ice cream can be decadent and tasty. It doesn't have any bitter artificial aftertaste. The crumble outside wasn't crazy sweet and had a lovely texture.“
“Amorino Gelato on Newbury Street offers a delightful gelato experience, with excellent service, a charming interior, and high-quality, flavorful gelato that sets it apart.Full/Extended Version:My visit to Amorino Gelato on Newbury Street was a delightful experience from start to finish. Located in a bustling area full of enticing bubble tea spots, restaurants, and a nearby Trader Joe's, Amorino stands out as a gem for gelato lovers.One of the highlights of my visit was the exceptional service we received. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about their gelato offerings, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The interior of the gelateria was charming, with a cozy ambiance that invited us to sit and savor our gelato.But the true star of the show was, of course, the gelato itself. Amorino's gelato is a cut above the rest, offering a natural denser, richer flavor than traditional ice cream. Each scoop was bursting with flavor, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. The variety of flavors and the way they were presented, shaped like a blooming flower, added to the overall experience.Whether you're in the mood for a classic flavor like stracciatella or something more adventurous like mango or pistachio, you can expect nothing but the best from Amorino. Each flavor we tried was delicious, and it was clear that a lot of care and attention went into crafting each batch of gelato.If you're in the mood for some delicious gelato in a charming setting with excellent service, look no further than Amorino Gelato on Newbury Street. It's a perfect spot to satisfy your sweet tooth and indulge in a scoop (or two) of high-quality, flavorful gelato.“
“That is our new place we love! It’s good to see caring about their business people. We randomly selected pizzeria on the route to our house, and ooooh boy, ain’t it good? Service is the best! We chose three different kinds, the one we got with a discount. The first time we got something not smothered in marinara only. Meatballs and ravioli are fantastic. We will be regular customers from now on. Love it!Vegetarian options: Few ready vegetarian options in the menuParking: Limited parking lotsKid-friendliness: Very clean and family style restaurant“
“I came to try the cookies and cream butter donut and cookie monster mochi donuts. They didn't have the blue butter donut so I got the Ube one. I didn't like it with the coco shreds on top and the consistency wasn't as good either, maybe because it was gluten free I'm not sure, but the mochi donuts were ??, cookies and cream may be the best one I've had anywhere, would definitely come back for it and hopefully they'll have the big blue one.“
“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“
“I can’t say enough about Soc’s. We live in Boston and although we love visiting new ice cream stands, Soc’s has become our go-to place and a tradition. From a customer’s perspective it’s just a fantastic business. The ice cream is consistently excellent, as is the service. Both are exactly what you’d hope to find at an ice cream stand. The hours and fantastic, and they have a longer season than any other ice cream stand I know of. It feels like the summer is extended by months.There isn’t anything I would change.“
“One of my favorite places to get creemees (soft serve), the prices have gotten a little high and the girls at the counter a little more focused on their gossip then your order. The parking situation can be tricky as well. Still has my heart“
“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.“
“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.“

“Located near Harvard Square, we strolled around and came upon this dessert haven. They have a ton of flavors to choose from, and they give out samples if requested. It wasn't crowded when I came, so we didn't have an issue perusing the selection, which includes desserts beyond gelato. We went with the dulce de leche and the hazelnut, both of which were packed with flavor. One scoop as a bigger scoop than others, but I am happy to get a little extra, just noting it wasn't consistent. There are a few tables inside to sit and enjoy or it's a handy treat to take around and walk.“
“It is a small place that fits about two people at a time. We got the Matcha Sundae and Thai tea Sundae. The staff was friendly and helpful. It's a bit pricy but worth it. The quality of the ice cream tasted rich and smooth. The presentation was nice. It's worth a shot“
“Good ice cream but really no better than JP Licks and even more expensive. Unfortunately things happen really slow and they don't give you any napkins by default. It's freaking ice cream so you will need those napkins. I just get really annoyed having to go back to the window and wait minutes for a couple napkins! JP Licks however have several napkins dispensers at the registers.“
“Mike's is great and a Boston staple. It can get busy and chaotic, but don't be intimidated by the crowd/lines. It moves fast.However, be ready to order when you get to the counter as they try to keep things moving.There is no seating.They only take cash. There are ATMs nearby if you don't have any. It's worth it.Parking: The roads are incredibly busy on the street in front of Mike's.“
“Pro: Best (Kulfi) cardamom ice cream in the state. It’s a mouth journey of flavors in a bite. Balanced flavor of nutty, milky/creamy, sweet, and a dash of the right amount of minty/earthy from the cardamom to top it all off.Con: Parking especially if you’re traveling alone.P.s I’ve tried another place’s cardamom ice cream it didn’t have the same kick/blast of those flavors mentioned above“
“The ice cream is superb. So creamy and flavorful. The prices are reasonable and there are plenty of flavors to choose from. I prefer a chocolate based ice cream, and they are all delicious. In warmer weather there are tables out front to eat at. In colder weather there is seating on the inside that is comfortable and clean.“
“We were thrilled to have Zack’s Ice Cream truck at our event! Their service was top-notch, and the ice cream was a hit with everyone. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring that all our guests were served promptly. The variety of flavors they offered was fantastic, catering to all tastes. Zack’s Ice Cream truck added a delightful and delicious touch to our event, and we highly recommend them for any occasion“
“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!“
“Fantastic ice cream. The oatmeal raisin cookie will now require a regular March pilgrimage as it's one of the special flavors that month. This ice cream is smooth and flavorful. Mix'ins are an option. The kidde cup is substantial. If you want a treat head over now“
“BerryLine is a charming tiny ice cream shop that packs a big punch with its delightful desserts. The variety of toppings available is impressive, allowing you to customize your dessert to perfection. The customer service is top-notch, with friendly staff members always ready to assist with a smile. With its great desserts, cozy atmosphere, and excellent service, BerryLine is a must for anyone with a sweet tooth.“
“Generally I don't care for boba tea.But was craving some brown sugar boba tea. And some of my other usual spots were either too busy or too hard.I liked the fact I could choose the sweetness level which was nice. Did a 30% sugar tea, and got a egg waffle (also recommended)Tasted good, drank the whole tea, and the ice cream was good too. Venue was cute, but nothing mind blowing. The girl who worked the counter was effective.Not a bad spot for a quick fix.“
“The focus, diligence, and chemistry between the team working tonight was unmatched. Their ice cream knowledge and customer service skills were top tier. The main man himself, Anthony, has regularly been super helpful whenever I come in. He remembers specifics and caters to exactly what I am looking for. Megan’s quick thinking helped me execute a perfect ice cream choice, and Lexie provided help for our large ice cream order. Meletharb is an absolute 10/10 and my favorite ice cream in the Commonwealth.“
“Prices increases a little but quality of the food is still good. I always get their Clam strip dinner which comes with only fries. Wish they offered Cole slaw with it if you're charging $22-$23 for the dinner portion . Cheeseburger cooked fresh from the grill. Onions minced up like McDonald's. I believe their lobster rolls are $22 now? Not bad . Great customer service and clean environment after renovations. Overall, like many places, prices slightly have gone up but portion size the same . A little sad soft serve ice cream is double the price now lol $4.50 for soft serve on a cone . Time has changed .“
“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.“
“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.“
“Posting this from Breckenridge Colorado. Dreaming of a mid day Frozen Freddie’s pick me up. A generational family favorite spot even for those of us living across the country.My Frozen Freddie’s shirt has helped me win a few mtn bike races as well ;)“
“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.“
“Big scoops and wallet friendly, this Quincy institution brings together nostalgia and classic ice cream flavors. The ice cream is pretty standard - no crazy flavors and none of the extra creaminess you get from freshly made ice cream. However, it still hits the spot in a hot day when you want to hit up an old school ice cream stand. They have a few parking spaces in the front but it can be tough to navigate on a busy day.“

“Extremely reasonable for the size of the ice cream! Ordered a small and it was HUGE! S’mores ice cream was delicious. Also the only place I’ve ever been that puts sprinkles on the bottom and the top of the ice cream (like I do at home), so that was a pleasant surprise. Super “
“After having a quick bite from up the street, I decided I wanted to satisfy my ice cream craving. This was my first time trying Honeycomb creamery and man, oh man, this place did not disappoint. I wanted to try a flavor first, before ordering, but quickly learned they do not do samples. I decided to go with what the worker who was helping me suggested, and I definitely left this place a happy lady! I got a small size in a cup, with a matcha cone of one scoop honey lavender and one scoop of caramel crackle. I have never tried honey lavender flavor in an ice cream and was interested due to all the reviews. The honey lavender was good, but not my cup of tea... the star of the show for me was the salted caramel crackle! The mango sorbet was also delicious, by the way! They also offer other treats such as cookies and brownies. We went on a Tuesday and I was super intrigued by the Tuesday Taco special but decided to just get a small size first to try. Honeycomb creamery, I will most definitely be coming back soon :)“
“(Translated by Google) Super nominate!

“Stopped by for a late evening snack on a whim, on a cold and rainy night. Best idea we've had in a while! I had a large dish of half watermelon sherbert and half orange sherbert. Absolutely delicious! It was almost more than I could comfortably eat, but that wasn't going to stop me! The drive-through is super convenient, though in the pouring rain their awning is just the wrong length. Don't care at all, the ice cream was worth it. I really like that they offer both hard and soft serve options. I can't wait to try new flavors next time!“
“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!! :)“
“APR. 2024 UPDATEPro-tip: If you download the app and create an account, you will get a welcome reward for a free affogato.I claimed my reward today. The vibes were much better on a Friday night than the last time I was here. Very lively and different workers who were much more inviting. Gotta say, though, if I had to pay for this affogato, I would have been sorely disappointed. Although the coffee was strong and good, the execution was bad: the steaming hot coffee was immediately poured over the ice cream, so all of it melted in the 1.5 minutes that it took to walk to my car. I recommend they provide the ice cream and the coffee separately instead and let the customer pour the coffee themselves, as affogatos are traditionally served.MAR. 2024A warm day in Boston is always cause for celebration. New City Microcreamery has been on my list because the idea of a smoother ice cream through the process of freezing with liquid nitrogen sounded intriguing.I was able to sample a few flavors and ultimately decided on the tres leches and baklava on a homemade waffle cone.Pros: Both flavors were satisfyingly sweet, true to their names, and smooth. The tres leches had vanilla wafers, while the baklava had filo dough pieces and walnuts, which added some texture variety. I also enjoyed the waffle cone. It was thicker and chewier than store bought ones.Cons: This was very messy to eat because the ice cream was already half melted by the time I was handed my cone (unsure if this is usually the case with their ice cream). I was also shocked by the price when I went to pay (almost $15)—it turns out that I was overcharged. They corrected this after I emailed customer support. However, although this was the first time this has happened to me at a restaurant, this was not the first for them based on other reviews, so be careful. The vibes were also off when I went: the workers weren't enthusiastic or welcoming, so I felt pressured to order and leave asap.Overall, the ice cream was good, but I didn't enjoy my experience. So I would get this again but most likely at another location.“
“First time trying I ordered a strawberry banana smoothie and the banana pudding egg waffle (I don’t know if that the correct name.) they were amazing. Everything was fresh including the ice cream on the egg waffle. The egg waffle on the right was the strawberry shortcake my bf says it was 10/10. Employees are friendly and the atmosphere is calm.“
“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!“
“Great variety of flavors and really good portions! No joke… a kiddie is enough for one person, the small is pretty big. Friendly staff and good service. Only drawback is the line can get long (especially in the summer) but that is because they are so good. No indoor seating and minimal outdoor seating but there is plenty of places to park, so I usually just eat from my car.“
“I have been visiting this place since I was a kid, and since before it was called Cravings, so take my review with a grain of salt. You might think you're walking back in time when you step foot inside, what with all the nostalgic candy counters and throw-back displays. Even some of the offerings, like the egg creams, harken back to a different era. But don't let that fool you, this place has some incredible ice cream, including home-made options, and plenty of dairy free choices for those with certain dietary restrictions. We live a walkable distance, and nothing is more fun than walking down on a Summer Friday after work, getting a treat and taking it down to the lake. They even sell my favorite soda, Moxie, by the bottle! Because this is a small, locally owned and operated business, there is going to be a variation in the service. Understanding that you're about to get a huge dose of joy will help to give you a little extra patience, but as others have pointed out, it can be busy and your level of service can vary (and by proxy, the quality of the product). If consistency is going to be a deal break for you, become a regular, get to know the patterns the servers you prefer, and tip generously. It helps a lot :)“
“Moved pretty quickly even though we ordered a milkshake and there were quite a few people before us in line. Anyways, I got 2 scoops of vanilla. It was lighter than Coldstone so I was able to finish it after demolishing some pizza from South “
“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.“
“The ice cream is fresh and tastes great. We haven't tried an ice cream here we haven't liked. I appreciate that they have a small step in front of the ice cream counter so the kids can see the ice cream.The seating area inside could some attention and cleaning.“
“A lovely shop to grab Asian snacks and froyo. They have Hi Chew, Kopiko coffee candy, dried squid jerky, Ramune soda, frozen popsicles & ice creams, boba, and froyo. Great to grab some snacks while you wait in line across the hall for Yume Ga Arukara “
“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“
“Living in the same neighborhood as Blackbird calls for monthly visits to try out their seasonal flavors. I personally prefer the texture of their brioche doughnuts over their cake doughnuts, but their excellent and inventive flavors always win me over. My favorites over the years have been the Tiramisu Bismarck, Cold Brew Coconut, and Snow Ball.This location doesn't have seating, except for a bench outside. I usually come on weekday mornings to avoid the weekend lines and to make sure flavors don't sell out.Their service is also excellent. I had an issue with an order on the mobile app, filled out the contact form via their website, and someone reached out to resolve the issue quickly!“
“Love getting ice cream here, the cones/cup sizes are huge and the ice cream tastes great!I really enjoy the cookie dough and chocolate chip flavors!Also want to shout out the workers here, wish I got his name but the person working Friday afternoons was very thoughtful and friendly and I want to say it was very appreciated!“
“Wow, I can't think of the last time I went to somewhere so unassuming and yet so good. Quick food. Cheap. Fun inside. For parking, there's no lot but plenty on the street. We're going to make this place a regular visit. Ate and drank everything too quick to get any pictures since it was so good. Here was our order: watermelon slush with passion fruit boba, Blue Hour (Large tart and sweet blue raspberry lychee lemonade slushy), fries with spicy mayo, Spicy Salmon Onigirazu (Smoked salmon wrapped in seaweed seasoned rice and topped with spicy mayo), Korean Corn Dog (Deep fried battered hot dog and mozzarella stick lightly coated in sugar), Firecracker Shrimp Onigirazu (A hybrid seasoned rice ball sandwich served with two pieces of shrimp tempura and spicy mayo wrapped in seaweed), and Mera Mera Fries (Crispy fries topped with a homemade spicy mayo sauce and seasoning).“
“Went there for the very first time and my friends and myself we really enjoyed the quality and also the service that we had received and we got one scoop of the ice-cream and wow it sure was a lot of ice-cream and it was once again very enjoyable and I sure know that we will certainly be going back there again“
