“Love everything about Hop-yo! the staff, flavors, toppings, atmosphere, location everything is perfect!“

“Been going to TJ's since 1999. Been gaming since 1994. Been to alot of game shops over the years and none compare to here. Unlike most stores it's huge and you never have that crammed in feeling. They even have private rooms and spare rooms for any type of game you wanna play whether it's card games, board games, dnd, etc... they have the space for it all. On top of it they have an amazing kitchen. It's got fair prices and a huge variety of food, coffee, and desserts so you don't have to rush out because you wanna eat. They got it all covered“

“Super friendly, overly accommodating whenever they can, easy pay options, a punch card for free deserts are just some of the best things about Mr. Ice Guys Treats! I'm so happy they're a part of our community! Double paws up from Fred for their delicious pup cups, too.“

“I love to shop here. The staff is incredibly helpful, they make you feel like you're a dear old friend. On a number of occasions I've asked for a very specific plant and they've been able to get it for me. I recommend this place highly not only for the plants but for the ice cream.“

“We ordered a custom coconut butter cream cake with cranberry jam, frosted cranberries and shaved coconut on top. Cake was absolutely AMAZING! Not one crumb leftover. Not your run of the mill grocery store cake, it was soo much better! Worth every penny!Communication with owner was also excellent! Very quick to respond to questions and happy to make a last minute addition of sugared cranberries on top.We will be back for our next special order cake and would highly recommend them to anyone! A hidden gem in Ashland for sure!“

“I went the other day with my boss and we both love this place, the lady at the register was super friendly, good prices, flavor was fantastic, good portions and the place itself is beautiful love the decoration, we are definitely going back for some gelatos “

“A friend brought over a pint each of walnut and chocolate chip gelato for dessert the other night, and I was blown away. Both were so creamy and flavorful, without tasting too sweet.I then found out all their gelatos are lactose free, so no upset stomach after eating a bunch. Looking forward to trying some of their other flavors.“

“Great little icecream spot. The staff was really nice and the process of how they make the icecream is cool. The icecream itself is delicious and they have a bunch of flavors, combinations and toppings you can choose from. We got cake batter with heath bar and the Bernoulli sensation with cinnamon icecream, caramel topping and twix bars. They were great!“

“When the Summer hits, this is the place to go!! So many delicious ice cream options, from the most popular ones to those flavors that you can't find anywhere else. I love the maple pecan ice cream and also the double chocolate chip one. My wife loves the cookie dough flavor as well as coconut. They have outside sitting areas around the store in where you can sit and relax enjoying your ice cream, weather permitting!“

“After three years of having traipsed by this place, looking over and thinking 'Someday...' I finally decided that tonight was it. I was...in a /mood,/ to put it succinctly. Dagnabbit, I wanted some ice cream.So I stepped on into the brightly lit but welcoming little shop. It was clean, pristine, and calm--but I could practically feel the exuberant energy of its patrons and staff that it would have on any given summer afternoon, even on this quiet evening. I made my way over to view the selection, and...while I had expected there to be a fantastic selection of unique flavors...I was ill-prepared for the choices I'd have to make. My eyes roved over such a brilliant array of colors and provocative flavors, that my attention was like trying to walk a pack of exceptionally energetic puppies. Any moment I thought I had made a decision, one of those puppies would leap at another label or swirl or splash of rainbow, yipping and pulling. All of the disappointments and problems in my life slipped away into the ether as the most pressing thing in the world at the moment was... 'WHICH ONE?!' I was going to commit to a pint, no matter what--no question. Sure, I could have asked for some samples, but I didn't want to pester the pleasant woman keeping shop... She was already engaged in friendly banter with a couple of other patrons, and I was struggling as it was. I have a penchant for eating anything that's aggressively blue, and the variety of flavors available in that color had me holding my breath as my eyebrows tried to unite with my hairline. I finally wrangled my internal puppy thoughts--resisting my every urge to just shout 'BLUE!'--and picked one: Caramel cheesecake.I scurried home, dealt with some unpleasant things... But finally I grabbed a spoon and dug in--...there are some things in this world that bring such unexpected pleasure and joy that it elicits reactions that seem contrary and disproportionate to the thing being experienced. Such was the case with this ice cream. It was so good, I had to beg pardon for my vernacular and volume. So smooth, so creamy, but with tantalizingly soft chews of chunks of cheesecake and subtle crunches. It was sweetness like a euphoria. I had meant only to have a little taste so I could satisfy my curiosity and save it for later...but the spoon seemed to take on a mind of its own. M'lad witnessed my exultation, and I almost reluctantly passed him the spoon. Usually, we can calmly and politely share food--but we were reduced to a base, child-like state, and got grabby-snatchy with just the one spoon. Something about this must have alarmed my rational side, and after both of us saying 'Last one, for realsies--' for the fifth or sixth time, I managed to slap the top back on to save what was left for later...but it was difficult.Suffice to say, next time I will allow myself to dawdle a bit in the shop and ask for samples, although I sincerely doubt that there is any wrong choice. I blindly and recklessly committed to this one flavor... My only regret is that I didn't get a bigger bucket.“

“Valentine's Day surprise made my week!! I love sweets, especially cannolis, so when my boyfriend gave me this (with a beautiful bouquet of lilies) I almost screamed with joy! I have been on a mission to try all the bakeries in the vicinity of Boston, so you could call me a bakery expert. Gaetano's blew my socks off! Not only was the shell of the cannoli nice and crisp, but the cream was delicious. I really loved the cookies as well, which surprised me! When I am back in Holliston, you will for sure see me at Gaetano's Bakery with a crumb trail following me wherever I go.“

“Always good service. Fast and fresh food and not a long wait. I love the milkshakes and the fries are the best! They have the best flavor for a decent price. I look forward to coming here and eating whenever I can.Kid-friendliness: People are so welcoming and understanding when it comes to your order. If they forgot some thing they always apologize and allow you to get it. I am always welcomed when I come in and they are always kind when I leave. I come to different Mooyahs, Northborough, Sudbury, and Hudson and I always have the best experience at these locations! I look forward to coming again soon“

“They open on the first day of spring. Now open 2023. Great choices of soft serve flavors. Dairy queen is a soft service ice cream stand. They do not serve any other food at this location, from my understanding. Only reason I give 4/5 stars is because I don't think they have a public bathroom and there are only 3 or 4 small benches outside, to sit on. No inside seating. If it's busy then you have to stand outside to eat or have to go eat in your. If they got more outdoor seats or tables then it would be a better ice cream stand location.“

“The food is delicious and they have a great person that works there. The food is good to the owner. I would highly recommend you if you can have some gluten-free or lactose intolerant items for those who need that like some kind of lactose, ice cream or sherbet and the ambience is always clean. I have to give that one more group, 100 out of 100 stars keep up the good work and to the owner. Definitely try to have two windows open one for food and one for ice cream. It'll make it much easier for those who are looking for the food and who don't have to be standing behind the ones for the ice cream. So they are still using one window for both ice cream and food they really need to have two windows because I came today and did not use two windows,“

“Went here with my shining wife and kids. Ordered food for the family and every time I get the flamethrower burger it gets better, I would give my kidney for an unlimited supply. I would lather my whole body in that sweet sweet sauce if I could get a chance. The service there is so amazing and welcoming, A guy named griffin helped me out the other day and he helped me through the complicated order with ease and excitement. The service is always good and helpful!DQ brings the GRILL and the CHILL!“

“Massachusetts natives rave about the ice cream stands that open in the summer. I rave about New City which is open all year and makes superior ice cream. Creamy and smooth, and a rotating list of creative flavors greet us at every visit. The staff is always super friendly and will indulge you if you want to sample every flavor. The people behind you in line might not be so forgiving ?“

“*EDIT*It was okay. It wasn't anything special for the price for what I ordered. I asked for extra caramel and I shouldn't have, lol. I kind of felt like I got an attitude because I didn't tip the girl, but that was probably just me to be honest. She was nice. I'm sorry not everyone tips. I personally didn't bring enough money to, and believe it or not, it was the first time I ever had Dairy Queen. I wanted Furreal*, but saw Dairy Queen and was like, why not? I'll check it out again!“

“Move over, stand-up comedians, because the real showstopper is at Ben & Jerry's in Natick! This place isn't just about scoops and shakes; it's a comedy club for taste buds! The guy behind the counter deserves a standing ovation for his flavor recommendations – he's the Shakespeare of ice cream! We embarked on a flavor journey with two scoops of salted caramel Blondie in a chocolate dipped sprinkles waffle cone – it was like a caramel carnival in our mouths! And don't even get me started on the mint chocolate chip milkshake – it's so good, it should come with its own fan club! No green food coloring here, just pure, unadulterated deliciousness. Ben & Jerry's, you're not just an ice cream parlor; you're a flavor fiesta that makes every trip a tasty adventure. Thank you for making our taste buds dance with joy – you're the real MVPs of Natick!“
