I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream, 'cuz what's better than a few scoops of the dairy treat on a hot day? From classic vanilla to funky flavors, these Boston shops serve the very best.
Jake Smith: I highly recommend purchasing a flavor that involves a cookie (i.e. Mint Hydrox, Coffee Hydrox, Vienna Finger, etc) or the Creamsicle flavor (if available).
Kaely G: Great service and cool atmosphere. Really creative flavors - candied sweet potato, avocado. All made with coconut milk! P.S. they have free ice water.

Vivian Li: The rose-shaped gelato is perfect for pictures. Highly recommend the mango flavor. Really tastes just like a mango. The gelato macaroons are a must-try!

Ha Diem: The waffle cones are a must get when you're here. It is ridiculously huge and sweet so sharing might be a good idea. My mango soft serve in a Nutella Rice Krispie waffle cone was delicious.
Yen Chiang: Definitely try the Charles River Crunch - dark chocolate w/ almond toffee crunch. This ice cream is not too sweet. My friend got the banana and loved it. A kiddie scoop is large - you've been warned.
