A funky vibes dessert shop. On the pricey end but ingredients are top-notch.Went for the Cookie Monster ice-cream sundae with the store-made fudge.I hate fudge usually as it’s very artificial tasting however the store has garnered quite a recipe that’s enjoyable without being throat-wrecking. Added choice of toppings at the end, I choose nuts which went down nicely.Recommend to try it.Visited October 2023.

One of the best ice creams I had in Boston. I usually don't like chocolate ice creams much but I loved their chocolate mousse flavor. It didn't feel very heavy and wasn't toooo sweet. I just felt it's a little too pricey. 1 scoop was for $6 which us higher than the normal range. I'll think twice before going again just because of the price. The other problem I felt was that there was just 1 person handling all the orders. It was a Friday evening and there were lot of costumers in line. I just wished she had one more person for help and that way they could have processed the orders faster.

Came here once and they had displayed thr wrong closing time on google maps, so it was closed.The second time I came here, I actually got to try it. The ice cream was disappointing. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Worker was acting and looking like she was high on pills, took her 12 minutes in total to scoop two ice creams that she messed up twice. She also gave us like no ice cream. Scoops were even formed from it not that it matters but the laziness and effort was distasteful. My small cup was half empty.

Amazing smoothie! Great location. Cameron was so sweet and I forgot the other cashiers name but they were also fantastic! Well done. ?

Amazing ice cream!! I loved their Space Cake and Banana Foster flavors, and their vanilla bean and vegan toasted coconut ice cream flavors were good too! The picture shows their 1 scoop option in each cup, and it's pretty filling. You can ask them to do half -and-half with the 1 scoop option too. I highly recommend!

Best ice cream ever! Innovative flavors, incredible quality! I get there every chance I getNewbury street and Bostons finestBack there on a sunny Saturday, that's ideal.

I got the vegan salted caramel, and it was honestly some of the best ice cream (including non vegan options) that I’ve ever had. Great creamy consistency, and it didn’t have a weird taste that most vegan ice creams do. One complaint is that a single scoop plus a single topping was over $8… a little outrageous in my opinion. It’s definitely worth the occasional treat though.

I got Beantown Buzz. Honestly the best espresso ice cream I have ever had. The store is located on a very cute street that makes it perfect for a walking date. My partner and I grabbed ice cream, enjoyed the sights of the street, and headed over to the Boston Gardens. Made for a wonderful evening!

Good vegan ice cream - I was only interested in one of the vegan flavors they had when I went, Chocolate Pudding. The bench out front was full so I moseyed elsewhere. Would have liked more seating (not sure there's any way for them to accomplish this to be fair) and more choices, specifically something fruity. It was also cramped inside waiting to order and there isn't even space to form an obvious line so we had to keep track of who arrived when. Funny little experience as a tourist.

Ice cream tasted good but I can’t help but feel that $6.50 for this TINY one scoop is a rip off ?

One of the best ice cream places in Boston & has great hours. Got cookie dough ice-cream with Reese Pieces

Really fun vibe with great ice cream concoctions. I went with the Bean Town Buzz. If I weren't tempted to try other flavors, I would get that again on my next visit. The staff was delightful and well informed. They were very helpful with suggestions and samples.

This was such a nice little ice cream place and the perfect stop for a dessert after a meal! The lady working there was so kind and patient especially considering how busy the store was. The ice cream was fantastic and I definitely enjoyed our visit!
