“Amorino Gelato on Newbury Street offers a delightful gelato experience, with excellent service, a charming interior, and high-quality, flavorful gelato that sets it apart.Full/Extended Version:My visit to Amorino Gelato on Newbury Street was a delightful experience from start to finish. Located in a bustling area full of enticing bubble tea spots, restaurants, and a nearby Trader Joe's, Amorino stands out as a gem for gelato lovers.One of the highlights of my visit was the exceptional service we received. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about their gelato offerings, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The interior of the gelateria was charming, with a cozy ambiance that invited us to sit and savor our gelato.But the true star of the show was, of course, the gelato itself. Amorino's gelato is a cut above the rest, offering a natural denser, richer flavor than traditional ice cream. Each scoop was bursting with flavor, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. The variety of flavors and the way they were presented, shaped like a blooming flower, added to the overall experience.Whether you're in the mood for a classic flavor like stracciatella or something more adventurous like mango or pistachio, you can expect nothing but the best from Amorino. Each flavor we tried was delicious, and it was clear that a lot of care and attention went into crafting each batch of gelato.If you're in the mood for some delicious gelato in a charming setting with excellent service, look no further than Amorino Gelato on Newbury Street. It's a perfect spot to satisfy your sweet tooth and indulge in a scoop (or two) of high-quality, flavorful gelato.“
“Amazing ice cream selections and great service. You won’t find comparable ice cream flavors especially when they do local collaborations. And the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and quick - shout out to Gabe tonight he was fantastic especially on a busy nightDietary restrictions: Vegan options and others available“
“Been coming here for years now, by far the best ice cream you will ever eat!!Dietary restrictions: Allergie friendly and staff are very experienced in how the manage cross contaminationParking: Dozen or more spaces to parkKid-friendliness: 100% kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Yes, no steps or long access points to cross!! Very much wheelchair accessible“
“The ice cream is fabulous AND they have vegan options too. Everything is homemade, including the baked goods. There is also a small section for a variety of candy. The owner and staff are super nice. Service is outstanding. I highly recommend- this as a must try if you visit the north end.“
“I can’t say enough about Soc’s. We live in Boston and although we love visiting new ice cream stands, Soc’s has become our go-to place and a tradition. From a customer’s perspective it’s just a fantastic business. The ice cream is consistently excellent, as is the service. Both are exactly what you’d hope to find at an ice cream stand. The hours and fantastic, and they have a longer season than any other ice cream stand I know of. It feels like the summer is extended by months.There isn’t anything I would change.“
“Was craving ice cream on the way to Boston & was able to get my fix before it closed. Just for kicks, sampled the grape nut which was interesting. It tasted like soggy grape nuts so at least you don't chip a tooth; you either love it or hate it. I decided to stick to my faves, chocolate peanut butter & pistachio. The pistachio flavoring was off, a bit too pistachio-y, if that's even possible. But the chocolate peanut butter hit the spot. Hubby got the milk & cookies & that was yummy too. Business was steady with a lot of local kids, even on a cold weeknight.“
“We hired Cool Cow ice cream truck for my son’s high school graduation. So easy to work with! No fuss. Very punctual and took his time during our event which I appreciated. Everyone, young and old, enjoyed the service and ice cream! Would not hesitate to book again.“
“One of my favorite places to get creemees (soft serve), the prices have gotten a little high and the girls at the counter a little more focused on their gossip then your order. The parking situation can be tricky as well. Still has my heart“
“Amazing Vegan Ice cream. I have a dairy allergy and I’ve tried a lot of different vegan desserts. These taste exactly like the regular desserts. I had the grasshopper pie with hot fudge and it was amazing. You can even buy toppings for at home use - I bought a jar of hot fudge! Also I love the take a drawing/poem and leave one. I want to do it next time! Would love to see a vegan ice cream flight! Or little ice cream sandwiches.“
“Had 3 baby cows in the pen today... 2 goats in another pen who where enjoying a nap and watching me and the pen with the rooster and his female chicken friends...and I got a baby cow to come over to me and licked my hand, then mooed at me...I love it there..food/sandwich shop next door to ice cream shop.Kid-friendliness: Many families with kids are always around.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat surfaces...wide paths and room around tables outside...“
“Mike's is great and a Boston staple. It can get busy and chaotic, but don't be intimidated by the crowd/lines. It moves fast.However, be ready to order when you get to the counter as they try to keep things moving.There is no seating.They only take cash. There are ATMs nearby if you don't have any. It's worth it.Parking: The roads are incredibly busy on the street in front of Mike's.“
“Pro: Best (Kulfi) cardamom ice cream in the state. It’s a mouth journey of flavors in a bite. Balanced flavor of nutty, milky/creamy, sweet, and a dash of the right amount of minty/earthy from the cardamom to top it all off.Con: Parking especially if you’re traveling alone.P.s I’ve tried another place’s cardamom ice cream it didn’t have the same kick/blast of those flavors mentioned above“
“We were thrilled to have Zack’s Ice Cream truck at our event! Their service was top-notch, and the ice cream was a hit with everyone. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring that all our guests were served promptly. The variety of flavors they offered was fantastic, catering to all tastes. Zack’s Ice Cream truck added a delightful and delicious touch to our event, and we highly recommend them for any occasion“
“Prices increases a little but quality of the food is still good. I always get their Clam strip dinner which comes with only fries. Wish they offered Cole slaw with it if you're charging $22-$23 for the dinner portion . Cheeseburger cooked fresh from the grill. Onions minced up like McDonald's. I believe their lobster rolls are $22 now? Not bad . Great customer service and clean environment after renovations. Overall, like many places, prices slightly have gone up but portion size the same . A little sad soft serve ice cream is double the price now lol $4.50 for soft serve on a cone . Time has changed .“
“Generally I don't care for boba tea.But was craving some brown sugar boba tea. And some of my other usual spots were either too busy or too hard.I liked the fact I could choose the sweetness level which was nice. Did a 30% sugar tea, and got a egg waffle (also recommended)Tasted good, drank the whole tea, and the ice cream was good too. Venue was cute, but nothing mind blowing. The girl who worked the counter was effective.Not a bad spot for a quick fix.“
“The focus, diligence, and chemistry between the team working tonight was unmatched. Their ice cream knowledge and customer service skills were top tier. The main man himself, Anthony, has regularly been super helpful whenever I come in. He remembers specifics and caters to exactly what I am looking for. Megan’s quick thinking helped me execute a perfect ice cream choice, and Lexie provided help for our large ice cream order. Meletharb is an absolute 10/10 and my favorite ice cream in the Commonwealth.“
“Stopped by this quaint little coffee shop the morning I was leaving Boston. It had a nice vibe to it. And such a variety! Ice cream. Pastries that looked amazing. Expensive variety of different copies espresso‘s ect. The music was and atmosphere made you feel like you were in Italy. Nice little outside area to sit and enjoy the beautiful street going ons. Will go back to try again to try more of their wares.“
“Can't believe I've lived in Andover since 1983 and have never been here. The adventure began with the aroma of chocolate when you walk in - amazing. I did a quick jog through the candy store and vowed to take my granddaughters here during their next visit. Next ordered lunch: chicken BLT which was so fresh. Bacon was crispy and they remembered to not add guacamole. Next came the sundae: their list in-house of flavors that are made on site doesn't match the online list (butter crunch ) but the substituted butter pecan was delicious. My only complaint of the day was that the rich, flavorful butterscotch sauce was room temp and not at all heated. All staff were friendly and attentive. Everything felt nostalgic which was so nice. I'll be back.“
“A family owned sandwich shop where the food is delicious, fresh and made with love. A wide variety to choose from and also has Richardson’s ice cream. Wonderful customer service. Definitely worth a try. The paninis are especially delicious. You’ll end up being a regular. Very reasonable prices.“
“(Translated by Google) Super nominate! The best açaí in the world, delicious, there is no equal and to close with a golden key, there is good service and everyone works with a lot of love and affection, not to mention that you don't even have to leave the house to eat açaí, it comes to you ? with the best drives in the world yasaibowl(Original)Super indico! Melhor açaí do mundo delicioso não tem igual e pra fechar com chave de ouro tem um bom atendimento e todos trabalha com muito amor e carinho sem contar que nem precisa sair de casa pra comer açaí ele vem até vc ? com os melhores drives do mundo yasaibowl“
“Great variety of flavors and really good portions! No joke… a kiddie is enough for one person, the small is pretty big. Friendly staff and good service. Only drawback is the line can get long (especially in the summer) but that is because they are so good. No indoor seating and minimal outdoor seating but there is plenty of places to park, so I usually just eat from my car.“
“I have been visiting this place since I was a kid, and since before it was called Cravings, so take my review with a grain of salt. You might think you're walking back in time when you step foot inside, what with all the nostalgic candy counters and throw-back displays. Even some of the offerings, like the egg creams, harken back to a different era. But don't let that fool you, this place has some incredible ice cream, including home-made options, and plenty of dairy free choices for those with certain dietary restrictions. We live a walkable distance, and nothing is more fun than walking down on a Summer Friday after work, getting a treat and taking it down to the lake. They even sell my favorite soda, Moxie, by the bottle! Because this is a small, locally owned and operated business, there is going to be a variation in the service. Understanding that you're about to get a huge dose of joy will help to give you a little extra patience, but as others have pointed out, it can be busy and your level of service can vary (and by proxy, the quality of the product). If consistency is going to be a deal break for you, become a regular, get to know the patterns the servers you prefer, and tip generously. It helps a lot :)“
“Moved pretty quickly even though we ordered a milkshake and there were quite a few people before us in line. Anyways, I got 2 scoops of vanilla. It was lighter than Coldstone so I was able to finish it after demolishing some pizza from South “
“They have both soft serve and homemade traditional ice cream here. We usually stop by here when in Salem Willows. Attentive and quick service. Can't go wrong with ice cream! My daughter got the chocolate marshmallow along with pistachio Ice cream and really liked both.“
“The first time I tried Taiyaki NYC was in NY, of course, but the quality for the Boston location is the same. Very picturesque desserts that will satisfy a sweet craving. I got the unicorn and matcha sesame, which were both tasty. They taste especially good when the taiyaki cone is fresh and warm, but be sure to eat it quick in the summer if you want to avoid a sticky mess!“
“Love getting ice cream here, the cones/cup sizes are huge and the ice cream tastes great!I really enjoy the cookie dough and chocolate chip flavors!Also want to shout out the workers here, wish I got his name but the person working Friday afternoons was very thoughtful and friendly and I want to say it was very appreciated!“
“Stopped by on a late Monday morning looking for a late breakfast. Had a croissant breakfast sandwich with egg and cheese. Also had a waffle plate. There are company by fresh fruit, which is very tasty. Nice selection of coffee and drink options. I went for a cappuccino which hit the spot.“
“Wow, I can't think of the last time I went to somewhere so unassuming and yet so good. Quick food. Cheap. Fun inside. For parking, there's no lot but plenty on the street. We're going to make this place a regular visit. Ate and drank everything too quick to get any pictures since it was so good. Here was our order: watermelon slush with passion fruit boba, Blue Hour (Large tart and sweet blue raspberry lychee lemonade slushy), fries with spicy mayo, Spicy Salmon Onigirazu (Smoked salmon wrapped in seaweed seasoned rice and topped with spicy mayo), Korean Corn Dog (Deep fried battered hot dog and mozzarella stick lightly coated in sugar), Firecracker Shrimp Onigirazu (A hybrid seasoned rice ball sandwich served with two pieces of shrimp tempura and spicy mayo wrapped in seaweed), and Mera Mera Fries (Crispy fries topped with a homemade spicy mayo sauce and seasoning).“
“The best fresh and handmade pasta, sauces, gelato, desserts and more! A true hidden gem where you can bring home the goods that rivals any fine Italian resturant. I am so lucky to have such a special store nearby. They are so nice there too.“
“This place is amazing. I go here for lunch. They have amazing hotdogs and a fantastic breakfast sandwich. I stop in for drinks. They make great cocktails and amazing adult frappes and have a good beer selection. Also just discovered Kool aid pickles! This is a fun quirky place that is definitely worth checking out!“
“I was in the area for several days for a work event and I have to say, we kept coming back each morning to try something new because it was just so fantastic. I will mention that it was quite cold outside at the time and there was no seating available, but we were picking it up and taking it with us so it was not personally a thing that we were looking for.Over several days I tried their:Maple Braids - 5/5 right mixture of soft and chewy. Great texture great flavor.Boston Creme - 4/5 Good balance of sweet and tart, also fantastic texture.Old Fashioned Chocolate - 5/5 again all around good texture and flavor. It's a good choice if you want something more simple but still some morning chocolate.Everything Bagel 4/5 - was a bit messy as the everything topping easily fell off, but was very good. Cream Cheese is already added for you, and is the right amount to keep it flavorful and chewy without making it too soft.Breakfast Burrito 4/5 - was much larger than I originally thought it was going to be (which is not a problem at all) good choice of ingredients that gives it a great texture without being too much to clash.And my #1 choice being above and beyond one of the best jam/jelly filled donuts I've had is the Raspberry Bismark 10/5 fantastic in every way.When I'm in the area again I will definitely try to come back and try some more options.“
“I didn’t think Crumbl Cookie was worth the hype…I thought it was just another fad that was popular for a minute and that would not be worth the money. Boy, was I wrong! The cookies are delicious, and the weekly menu is always creative and ever-changing! I’m hooked!“
“Delicious!I got the blueberry pie with hot fudge and I ate like it was the first time having ice cream in my life!I also ate so fast I didn't take any pictures of the serving, but a single scoop was a good size for me.Friendly service too. Thanks you all!Best,Clint“

“In a quest to tap into my childhood, pile driving bowls of Cap'n Crunch, I sought a breakfast spot that boasts a crusted French toast that will send me soaring back to the 90s. Well, move over Mario, it's time for Luigi's to take center stage.Luigi's is a no-frills North Shore diner that excels in greasy spoon comfort breakfast and lunch options with big portions. As mentioned, my personal favorite breakfast option is the perfectly griddled Cap'n Crunch French toast - a delightful crunch on the crust which remains moist and approachable, otherwise. Paired with butter, powdered sugar, and syrup, it may spike your blood sugar, but it's well worth it. For "healthier" fare, the feedback on the veggie omelet was fluffy, fresh, and tasty. The potato sides (both hash browns and home fries) were well-seasoned and plentiful. Coffee is what you'd expect.Amidst the slightly chaotic table setups, find solace at the expansive granite bar top, boasting a dozen or so stools for a cozy dining experience. The service is friendly and reliable, ensuring your cup is never empty. And when warmth graces the months, don't miss the ice cream stand's lineup of Richardson's local favorites.Luigi's captures the essence of a classic diner with finesse, delivering on a diverse menu that's bound to satisfy your cravings. Brace yourself, however, and come hungry!“
“Sweet Java is hidden gem in Swampscott over in the Vinnin Plaza area. Everyone is always so friendly, there’s a great vibe and you can tell the people who work there really care. The drinks are make perfectly and the food is always delicious.“
“honestly im writing this review based off the store bought italian ices but i do plan on visiting this summer! I LOVE the italian ice especially the cherry i literally have one sometimes two a day and i look forward to visiting this coming up summer!! Dont change a thing Richies!!!!“
“I had ice cream at THREE top-ranked local ice cream places in the past week. Scoops N More was the best AND the least expensive. The girls behind the counter were so helpful and friendly to me and my family. They had a line out the door and I totally get why. This hole in the wall store is actually an amazing ice cream joint. Maybe the best in the area, imo. Give them a try!“
“By far the best Açaí bowl I’ve ever had!!! I’ve had them recently from about six local restaurants this place has the best texture and taste. The only thing is, I wish they had options like peanut butter drizzle , Chia seed, cacao bits and nuts.“
“I read lost of reviews that this places smells strongly of cleaning chemicals, that is indeed true. It was the first thing we noticed as soon as we walked in. I have been here once before at least 5 years ago, and was finally back in the area and was looking forward to the warm cookie dough topping on my ice cream. I was so happy to see that they still have it! I got a small mint oreo topped with the warm cookie dough, it was very messy and you got to be prepared to eat it quickly as the cookie dough melts the ice cream. It was for sure a sugar rush but worth all the while.“
“A huge thanks to Cookie Monstah for the ability to rent out one of their trucks for our daughter’s and son-in-law’s Welcome Party the night before their wedding, Memorial Day weekend. They allowed for them to make their own combinations of ice cream cups/cookies and to name them - the names were based on the neighborhoods where they had lived in the North End. The service was great and the ice cream and cookies were top-notch! Thanks to Janelle for all her help in making this such a special occasion!“
“Very quick service, super tasty drinks, and right by the Witch Trials Memorial! I had been craving boba tea for a while, and when I saw that place, I decided to just go for it and try it, and honestly, I wasn’t disappointed!It was just extremely quiet in the store, and even though it’s a large open area, there wasn’t much place to sit and rest.“
“My boyfriend loves Italian Rum Cake- they made it from scratch & it was incredible! Everyone loved it! They can work baking wonders! Order ahead- prices are about normal for homemade but you get what you pay for and the price is well worth the quality!!! You won't be disappointed!“
“Expensive doughnuts that are good, but I dont think are worth the hype. I definitely think its worth going in to try and donut or two. For donuts theres a few directions you can go - you can be simple, you can be tasty, you can be creative, or you can be all three. Blackbird donuts are creative, But they sacrifice taste.“
“Went there for the very first time and my friends and myself we really enjoyed the quality and also the service that we had received and we got one scoop of the ice-cream and wow it sure was a lot of ice-cream and it was once again very enjoyable and I sure know that we will certainly be going back there again“
“This place is one of the best place to go in a hot summer weather. I really like the shaved ice with fresh fruits on top. The syrup was well distributed throughout and there was condensed milk that went well with shaved ice. There was a long line around 30 minutes but it was all worth it. It is a must place to check out if you are in Boston. I got half pina colada and half mango minutas which I highly recommend getting.“
“Delicious every time. I do find it odd that some locations have a different way of making the batter so it doesn't always taste the same way. The workers go out of their way to make the best quality and make sure the food is delivered nicely. Will always recommend.“
“The ice cream is amazing I cannot believe it is so low sugar low fat. Highly recommend the salted caramel flavor. Service is great too you can taste the various flavors before buying. I highly recommend this place and it’s so close to Patton Park - the perfect spot to bring the kids after playing!“
“I love the ice cream at Munchies, my favorite is the Strawberry Oreo. Lately however, it seems the quality has gone down hill a little. The last 2 times I ordered my beloved flavor it had multiple areas of freezer burn. I have worked at several ice cream stores and anyone in the business knows that if you don't flatten and care for the product, you will ruin it. Please be more attentive to this because I want to keep eating your ice cream. When it's made and maintained correctly it shines above its competitors. When employees stop taking care of the product people notice.“
