Alex BarronNovember 23, 2013Funky place, great ice cream, crazy artist creating a diorama on the big table in the middle. Limited seating.
Sofia UzJune 7, 2015Best ice cream in town according to the New York times is good. But definitely not the best
Chris MillsAugust 18, 2015On a date? Get a two flavors in a double scoop instead of two single scoops. You'll save a few bucks.
order earl grey or cappucino ice cream. kiddie size is enough. they let you try as much as you want - which you should b/c the flavors can be v. strong and surprising! but worth it!
Hydrox cookie is always a safe fall-back option when you are confused by all the flavors. Try it as a frappe!
Gloria ChinJuly 17, 2012constantly changing flavors. summer 2012: Bourbon Black Pepper, Grape Nut Raisin, Burnt Caramel, Orange Chocolate, Green Tea
Kristyn UlandayJune 13, 2015Cherry chocolate chip and hazelnut are go to flavors. Always get the cone with sprinkles.
Mike ChauNovember 11, 2012Try the B3 Ice Cream - With a scoop of Burnt Caramel. B3 = brown sugar, brown butter and brownie. Amazing.
Ingrid HartmanJuly 20, 2013B3 is really good but I haven't found a flavor that I don't like! This ice cream is a step above - for once the hype is true.
daniel daouMay 3, 2012In the very rare instance they have the "chocolate sluggo" flavor, buy 10 pints! It's the best thing in the world!
There are always amazing investing flavors. You can't go wrong.
LillianJuly 4, 2013Get the kulfee ice cream! Or the pops, which are in cleverly designed drip-proof capsules
Get a double scoop- lemon and Vienna finger!! Suggested by the barista and it tastes like key lime pie- but better!
Elaine LianSeptember 14, 2013My favorite flavor is B3!!! Falling love with it!! Will come every weekend!💋
The line goes out the door and halfway down the block because of their chocolate-anything ice cream.
French Vanilla and Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream: would be different than what you've had before!
Get the Fluffernutter if they have it. If not, B3 is always a solid standby.
Nathaniel HajianMay 14, 2013Service is incredible! So is ice cream of course. Hydrox Cookie is a favorite.
Reed CochranAugust 26, 2011Great ice cream. Great big table. Owner Gus is the first person who made me feel like I belonged in Cambridge.
Chocolate #3 is for you if you like (dark) chocolate, but find most chocolate ice cream lifeless and mild.
Margot MazurAugust 9, 2015No vegan ice cream—sorbets are made with gelatin 😭 but they have espresso and tons of charging outlets.
Ron CAugust 10, 2011Haven't been in the area in 5 years and I made a point to come back. The Bourbon Chocolate Flake was awesome.
