“Never been before today but so happy we stopped by! Kids were thrilled with the flavor choices and I really liked there was a vegan option! We’ll definitely be stopping in again. 😃“

“This place has long lines on sunny weekends, so I decided to try it on a weekday night. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of flavors. I tried the coconut and the pineapple. Both were good.“

“8 Ube
8 Fior Di Latte
7.5 Taro Bobba
7.5 Pistachio
6.5 Hazelnut

Pretty tasty. The Taro boba felt more like a milkshake than a traditional boba. The boba pearls were awesome The Ube icecream tasted awesome but after sometime of eating it it left a weird after taste“

“I recommend the Vanilla graham cracker cheesecake with mini crepe and Nutella banana 🍌 crepe! For kids its So yummy and healthy!“

“This small-footprint gem delivers exactly what so many of us miss back home: quality, chatpata quick bites like spicy-tangy pani puri (with live assembly and multiple flavor options—sweet, savory, and everything in between), the iconic Mumbai vada pav layered with coriander chutney, tamarind, and that punchy dry garlic chutney (ek dam mast!), misal pav, ragda samosa, dabeli, grilled sandwiches, paneer tikka rolls, and more—all pure veg and bursting with genuine flavors.

What really sets it apart is the warm, welcoming vibe—the pleasant service and friendly owner make you feel right at home, unlike some other places around that feel rushed or impersonal. It’s cozy and fun, with that true street-food energy packed into a compact space, perfect for a quick bite or takeout when you’re in Journal Square/India Street area.

If you’re missing the real deal till your next trip to India, skip the average options and head here. Places like Desi Adda keep the quality high, the tastes authentic, and the desi spirit alive—definitely worth appreciating and coming back to again and again. Highly recommend for anyone chasing that homesick cure!“

“I'm not one to write reviews or eat sweets for that matter, but i will have to say, the milkshakes here are bar none.
We stopped by for dessert after catching dinner in the area and left with milkshakes, a box of their gourmet chocolates and smiles. My daughter raved about her s'more shake the entire ride home. I have to mention that the staff are incredibly warm and inviting.
Definitely worth the spike in my A1C!
We'll be back soon!“

“Ordered a cookie Puss ice cream cake the same day via carvel website and it was delivered on time. Delivery made through DoorDash. it looks very similar to the stock photo.I ordered it to be delivered to my son‘s job as a surprise. He said the balance of flavors and cookie crunch were perfect, but avoided the mint chip nose. A previous reviewer had mentioned that they don’t do cookie puss cakes in this location, but that’s not factual apparently. Don’t bother calling, you’ll always be met with voicemail“

“What’s better than ice cream on a hot lazy Sunday! I wanted to indulge and I’m glad I did!! I love that you can mix flavors into your pint. I got to try FOUR flavors!!! ???
I was worried about the possibility of my ice cream being melted when it got here but it wasn’t! The toppings were just as I ordered (definitely recommend the wet walnuts!!!) . The presentation was amazing and the ice cream was so yummy! Definitely will be returning! I don’t have a pic because I gobbled it up too fast!“

“Exceptional Service on My Birthday!

I went to this Cold Stone yesterday to pick up my birthday cake (which looked beautiful, by the way). After leaving, I ran an errand before heading home, and unfortunately, the sides of my ice cream cake slid down a bit. I called the store, and the manager got back to me within minutes. Gloria was so kind and told me to come by so they could take a look.

When I arrived, the team explained that they couldn’t replace the cake, but they would try to fix it up. While I waited, the general manager, Saya, came out to speak with me. She was so understanding and explained how delicate ice cream cakes can be—but because it was my birthday, she went above and beyond and offered to remake the cake for me!

I was honestly so touched by their kindness and the effort they put in to make things right. The new cake turned out perfect, and it completely saved my birthday celebration.

Thank you so much to Saya and Gloria for the exceptional service and compassion! I always come to this Cold Stone, and experiences like this remind me why—it’s not just about the ice cream (which is always amazing), but also the people who truly care about their customers.“
