    Macarons selection
    Jay B.

    So, this is a cozy little spot my bestie introduced me to from which one can grab a sweet treat or two (or several). It sits comfortably on the corner of JFK and Winthrop Street, right in the midst of Harvard Square. Which figures because this place is bougie as hell! Just the same, we're eternally grateful to have met its acquaintance. Because this place is the real deal when it comes to macarons. Ya know how some grocery stores sell macarons in a box or something? Yeah, those are basically the generic version compared to the ones sold here. These ones are on another level entirely! We got the variety pack, of course. And so far, my top two personal favorite flavors are the Tiramisú and Chocolate Amorino. The experience tasting these is impossible to describe in words worthy enough to dignify. Let's just say....it's enough to ascend your consciousness into low orbit. The process of ordering is simple enough or strangely foreign (no pun intended), depending on if you're a Zoomer or a Boomer, respectively. They use kiosks. Exclusively. It's a little weird, because there is what appears to be a main register with people standing behind it. Only their main task is to prepare your order and call out your name once it's ready. This is better, IMHO because talking to people is hard (sometimes). I dunno what it is. But most times, it seems easier to get the details of an order right when it's neatly selected and typed out on a screen. Besides, tap-to-pay is where it's at. Oh, and for those of you who are wondering what Gelato is, it's a specific type of Italian ice cream. Without getting into the exact percentages of the various lactose components it's made of, that's the simplest way I can explain it. *Obligatory disclaimer: I am not an ice creamologist. I think this is gonna be our dessert spot whenever we venture back to Cambridge. And next time, I am SO getting my own 12 pack of macarons with my two favorite flavors in it. No doubt about it, Amorino Gelato is worth 5 creamy Tiramisú macarons transcending my cortex beyond the stratosphere out of 5.

    Ice cream is forever my favorite! This time, besides the classic Dulce de Leche and Coconut from Sri Lanka, I also tried some new flavors. Fior Di Latte Gelato & Exotic Fruits: A refreshing, fragrant, and sweet blend of mango, passion fruit, and pineapple. The mango flavor is dominant, while the other two add a touch of lively tartness. Perfect for summer!

    Great gelato and macaroons! The flavors were incredible, the customer service was amazing, and the place looks absolutely beautiful. Definitely worth a visit!

    The staff are very friendly though sometimes impatient in allowing customers to try flavors or take time in deciding - the location is often very packed. Flavors are great, the staff are all talented in making the flowers with a variety of different flavors, and the quality of the ice cream is maintained across locations very well!

    After rolling into Boston with over 100° weather, there was just one thing on our minds: ice cream. My daughter had the inside scoop- literally. She's been living in Boston for about a month now, just long enough to start picking up on where the real gems are and which areas she prefers doing her shopping in. Enter Amorino located in Cambridge, MA. It's comfortable inside, their AC helped, has soft lighting and that smell: sweet, buttery, fruity- it all hits you the second you walk in. But here's the twist: no ordering at the counter. Instead, you can use one of the 3 or 4 self-service stations, tap through your cravings, pay and boom- order is placed. Super easy. A short wait later, someone calls your name and your masterpiece (if you order a cone) is ready. Literally. Even before tasting, you can tell this place means serious gelato business. Each tray of gelato- whether it was freshly filled or already halfway scooped through, looked like it had just come out of churning or something. No crusty edges and the colors popped. I went with the chocolate Amorino and it was everything I wanted. It's gelato- but it almost felt moussey if you know what I mean. It has a deep, rich, cocoa flavor, it's not too sweet and it was satisfying. The waffle cone? Perfectly crisp and sweet. My daughter, who's a certified mango fiend, made a beeline for the mango sorbet. When I had a taste of hers, the mango sorbet tasted JUST like you're eating the fruit. My husband played it smart and went for a mango+raspberry sorbet combo in a cup- tart, sweet, and ultra-refreshing. The service was attentive, even with the self-service system. And the price? Nothing to complain about. Totally worth it for the quality and the flower gelato skills experience.

    While traipsing through Harvard Square, our minds were on cold. Anything cold. We spotted this gelato spot from down the street, and boy did it hit the spot. The server behind the counter was generous with samples so that we could narrow the many tempting flavors down to our two scoops. Stracciatella was our big winner. While it wasn't as creamy and just a tiny bit icy in spots, it was as cold as we needed in the midst of this summer heat. There's a decently sized and quiet seating area in the adjoining room, with bathrooms to boot.

    Happy customer

    Excellent gelato--creamy texture and true flavors that taste homemade. Plenty of choices, from classic pistachio to inventive seasonal options. Portions are fair, service friendly, and the shop spotless. A must-stop for a sweet fix.love the kiosk to order

    Amorino Gelato was super underwhelming. I'd heard it was a big chain in Europe, so I came in with high hopes, but the flavors were too exaggerated for me. Sweet was way too sweet and tart was way too tart. The one highlight is that you can stack flavors to try a bunch at once, but overall, not a place I'd come back to.

    This was just alright. There was nothing special about the flavors or the service. There is some seating. Only one guy working so it takes a bit for everyone to get their gelato served. I tried the more fruity flavors. Passionfruit was tart. I did not like the orange as it tasted more like a creamsicle. The raspberry and strawberry were the better tasting flavors.

    Very cozy and friendly place! We went in for a warm drink on a cold day and was happy with the service and hot drink options!

    Regular cone and a small cone

    This place is great! On a warm day you must eat it fast though. Amazing to get 4 flavors on a cone! This was a near find..i highly recommend. Great service and pretty laid back vibe inside.

It melted in mouth and starts to linger, with a more distinct flavor profile from bitter to sweet to fragrant. Sesame Truffe: Two pieces in one serving was perfect. A thin layer of light cocoa powder on the surface, the shell was so crisp that it crumbled in mouth, and the flowing filling with nutty and caramel flavors immediately spills out. However, I didn't taste much sesame; it's closer to hazelnut, the classic chocolate flavor, and a bit on the sweeter side.
