    Mango Snowdae
    Emily Y.

    I didn't realize how big the mango shaved ice was going to be or I would have ordered just one to split with my friend. The mango itself was sweet and the shaved ice was very fluffy. They have a wide variety of hot and cold desserts including some interesting ones like Durian Cheese Pizza which we did not try. The shaved ice came out quickly and came with color changing spoons which was fun. The spoons went from pink to blue depending on temperature. It wasn't too busy when I went very chill place to hang out.

    Will forever get my shaved ice from here, was smooth and buttery-like! I didn't consider myself a huge fan of shaved ice but this place changed my perspective. WIDE range of flavors, highlighting mostly fruit-flavored options (which I absolutely live for). If you had to compare, it doesn't have as many savory options as Meet Fresh does but their list of ranged options overrode that issue for me. The shaved ice is truly shaved, not some crunchy cubes making me beg for a dentist appointment the next day, so that was a huge plus. They may have had physical menus but it was digital ordering for the most part (could still order at the register). I shared it with a friend and it was the perfect size for a post-meal dessert. The topics included fresh-cut mangos, mango-bursting tapioca, marshmallow panda, and some grapefruit sprinkles on top (we had lychee jelly add-on). Will absolutely come back again!!!

    Had the mango bingso and it was great! It's a fluffier way to enjoy ice cream and provides a more satisfying texture. Included toppings are also tasty (aloe jelly, popping boba, fresh mango). Prices are a bit high but portions are pretty large and there is a 10% discount for students which is a nice touch.

    Still one of my favorite shaved ice spots in the area. I got the small sized durian and it's enough for a quick dessert for two :)

    Came here after doing some research for a Hong Kong based dessert shop. First off, the shop is pretty pleasant. It's clean, spacious, and ordering is easy since you just go up to the counter to order. The lady working at the cash register was awesome and sweet since we had never been prior. She was so patient. My bf and I ended up getting a mango sago dessert and the taro snowdae. The taro snowdae (basically Korean bingsu) was really good and the size is big enough to share between two people. With the fresh fruit paired up, it was delicious. The mango "winter snowball" falls short...somehow I assumed it would be more liquid from the picture but instead it was like...snow cone texture bottom? The fruit and ice cream were good but I did wish it was a bit more "soup" consistency as is the original version of this. So while this place does have a lot of Hong Kong style desserts, it also has a couple of Korean style desserts as well as things like Creme Brulee. Would I go back? Maybe? But otherwise, it's good to try once.

    Best shaved ice / bingsu in the area! We ordered the Mango and Strawberry Snowdae. I'd give the Mango Snowdae a 5/5. There was a reasonable amount of toppings, fresh fruit, and a perfect balance of creamy and ice. The mango flavor was so delicious. The Strawberry Snowdae on the other hand was not my favorite. I did not particularly enjoy the strawberry flavor. However, again, there was a reasonable amount of toppings and fresh fruit. Service was good. The snowdaes were ready quick. I'd definitely come back again and hope to try more flavors!

    Love this place! Coconut and mango fusion 5/5 fruit mix grass jelly 5/5 Gone here many times and have always loved their desserts! They have a wide selection of sweet items as well as interesting savory items like durian pizza. I'm always impressed at how their desserts with fruits are paired so well that the fruit is not sour in comparison to the ice cream and jellies. The fruit is always perfectly ripe and desserts end up being a good level of sweetness. There's a decent amount of seating, but the place is typically quite busy when I've gone in the evening. There have been a couple times where I've had a short wait before I was able to get seating, but service is good. You can place your order at the counter when you arrive and find a place to sit or take a menu back to your seat to view the selections before ordering at the counter. The place itself is quite lively and has a nice atmosphere to catch up with people. Street parking only.

    I'm so glad that a friend introduced me to C Fruit Life a few years ago. I never thought of myself as a big dessert fan but after coming to C Fruit Life, I've changed my mind. If I'm eating in the Allston area and have room for dessert, I make a point to stop by C Fruit Life to wrap up the night. The mango snowdae is my favorite. It's rich and flavorful without being overly sweet and comes with different toppings that help to complement the flavor. I've tried similar desserts at other restaurants around the US but none have come close to C Fruit Life's and tend to taste more watery. The shop is a seat yourself with a handful of small tables throughout. It is always busy, especially at night so seating might be tight or you may need to wait a little bit for a table but it's worth it. FOOD: 8.5/10 SERVICE: 8/10 RECOMMENDATION: This is a spot better suited for small groups since seating can get tight.

    Papaya Coconut Smoothie with Grass Jelly
    Mark L.

    Mango coconut jelly dessert was delicious. There chewy coconut gum with very flavorful coconut blend ice and fresh sweet mango. Absolutely splendid! Papaya coconut with grass jelly - coconut flavor blast off! If you like coconut, you will be happy. I would say more papaya will fit the title more. Coconut taste dominated papaya. Mango coconut blast was also very good. I'm very impressed with the quality. It's now my official favorite dessert place in Boston.

    My friends recommended I try this place, and I'm glad glad that they did! Immediately upon entering the atmosphere was very fun and trendy. In addition the staff was friendly. It had an interesting menu ranging from pizza to shaved ice. We stopped in after dinner and had shaved ice (both the taro and mango). Both were light, delicious, and refreshing on a hot summer day. Parking in the area was a little tricky,however worth it

    It's so freaking cold in here. Like legitimately really cold for no reason. And then you come in for shaved ice, and it's honestly so intolerable. The space is very cute though and well decorated. I really enjoyed the various ingredients and freshness of this mango shaved ice. Unfortunate that I couldn't enjoy it more. The spoons are also very fun.

    I've come here over and over and over again and each time the fruit is literally the freshest I've had to behold in my entire life. I don't know how they get such high quality fruit and can have such consistency, but this place is literally better than the freshness of Michelin tier desserts. They also make things pretty fast (unless it's one of their pizzas or hot soups, because they make everything fresh). Regardless, I've tried their mango and durian pochettes, mango smoothie, black pepper beef pizza (wow for it being not a pizza focused place their pizza is so good, such a pleasant surprise), several of their puddings and more nostalgic red bean, taro, sago soups. They're so good I don't actually think these desserts would be any better if I went to a formal dessert restaurant or renowned dessert stall in HK. I have pivotal memories sitting with my cousins around midnight in Hong Kong at a dessert shop, and while this place isn't open that late, I am continually floored by the quality and nostalgia of their desserts. If you're Cantonese this place is awash in memories of familiarity - if you're from elsewhere, it's a great place to get a taste of HK in a conventionally palatable way. I'm moving in a few weeks back to NYC and am gutted to know that I can't just stop by anymore. This is one of those places that I will travel to!

    Papaya and Peach Gum Stew
    Sierra H.

    A great spot to drop in for a delicious dessert in Allston. The menu is extensive and has something for almost any taste. You order at the counter and seat yourself. We ordered the mango snowdae and the peach gum in papaya bowl. The mango snowdae is a fluffy mountain of shaved ice topped with popping mango boba, lychee jelly, and fresh mango pieces. It's a large portion and great for sharing. The peach gum in papaya bowl is served warm and comes with a small pitcher of cream on the side. This not-too-sweet dessert is a comforting classic.

We ordered a pizza by phone during the St. Anthony Feast, and the woman who took our order was curt and rude from the start -- I chalked it up to the festival rush. But it got worse when we picked up. We paid $32 for a pizza and asked if we could sit inside to eat it and there were plenty of available tables. We were told no -- inside is table service only, and takeout means you take it and eat elsewhere. Fine, except there was nowhere to sit outside at the festival. When we asked about using one of their own outdoor tables (they had roughly 30, and it was 11:15am, 45 minutes before the festival even started, so the tables were empty), we were told those were reserved for table-service customers only. This was after we'd already spent $32 in their restaurant. Regina's has been around for 100 years, but somewhere along the way they stopped caring about basic hospitality. Paying customers with nowhere to eat their food shouldn't be treated as an inconvenience. We won't be back.

While the kitchen delivered a solid meal, the service was so profoundly disappointing that it completely overshadowed the food. The culinary side of things easily earns a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Unfortunately, the front-of-house experience was uniformly horrible. For a large party, hospitality can make or break the night, and our server missed the mark at every single turn: * Argumentative & Dismissive: He actively argued with our host regarding an appetizer that had been ordered in advance. When asked about vegetarian substitutions for a sold-out pasta dish, he curtly replied, "Pasta with butter is all we can do"--despite the fact that we could clearly see a wide variety of fresh vegetables being used right on their pizzas. * Inattentive: Dirty dishes piled up on our table, and when we politely asked for them to be cleared, he claimed he needed to get help and walked away completely empty-handed. Our drink orders were rarely checked on or refilled. * Rude to Guests: He displayed visible attitude and put-off body language whenever anyone asked a simple question. This peaked when he was outright rude to one of the young women in our party who simply wanted to put her order in a bit early because she had to leave before the rest of the group. It is a real shame because the ingredients and the kitchen's output are genuinely good. However, between the hostile attitude and the lack of basic service standards, we unfortunately won't be rushing back.

Even though I was born and raised in the Boston area and have resided here for the entirety of my three decade long life, I've never had the original Santarpio's pizza until just now. I remember eating at their second location on Route 1 not long after it opened, but I thought it was just okay. Ever since then I've always thought to myself, "the original has gotta be better, right?" Well, my boyfriend and I finally made our way to the original Santarpio's on a Saturday a little after noon. The place isn't much to look at but was hopping for the weekend lunch rush with almost every table full, and we got put in what appeared to be one of the last available tables in the place. Our order was taken very quickly after sitting down. The menu is strictly pizza with around a dozen toppings to choose from and a handful of grilled meats. That's it. We ordered a pizza with garlic and hot peppers as well as a steak tip skewer. The steak tips were juicy and cooked nicely, but they tasted like they lacked seasoning or marinade so I had to sprinkle some salt and pepper on them. Of course, the pizza is what we were really there for and I can tell you that it checks all the boxes for a classic pizza. The crust is on the thinner, crispier side which I actually prefer. The pie as a whole had a great color and good flavor between the cheese, sauce and toppings. After experiencing it for myself, it's pretty easy to understand why Santarpio's is so highly regarded in the world of pizza. They stick to what they know and they execute it well.

They only sell whole pies, which at first seemed annoying (the first time I tried coming here a few years ago I was by myself and couldn't eat a whole pizza alone) so I had to make this my inaugural tasting). But I see that as ensuring you are only eating a fresh product, where all the ingredients cook into each other and come out hot and ready, instead or something reheated from four hours ago because the day was slow. The menu is simple: pizzas and meat skewers. They know what they do well and lean into it hard. The ambiance has a rustic feel, with tall, weathered wooden booths that make eating a close experience, so please bring people you really like! The servers are present but not hovering and checked on us with the kind of frequency that says, "yeah we should let you eat but not forget you are there." I will be back for sure.

My birthday was noted on the reservation, but there was no acknowledgment of it when I arrived. I'm not expecting a grand celebration, but for a place with such a classy, trendy, upscale reputation, I expected a warmer welcome and at least some acknowledgment of the occasion. To me, service and hospitality are a huge part of the dining experience, and that initial welcome just didn't set the tone I was hoping for on my birthday. A heads-up if you're driving: there isn't parking immediately nearby, so expect to walk a little. Also, pay attention once you're on the street because GPS can be a little misleading when trying to locate the entrance. Thankfully, our server, Alexia was great! She was very kind, sweet, and attentive. I actually had to tell her myself that it was my birthday, and once she knew, she did what was necessary to acknowledge it and make the occasion feel a little more special. I really appreciated her for that. The food was good as well. I didn't end up trying any of their cocktails, which is unusual for me, especially during a birthday dinner. By that point, the overall experience just hadn't put me in the celebratory mood I had expected when I chose Yvonne's for the occasion. Maybe my expectations were higher because this was somewhere I'd wanted to visit for so long, but hospitality matters to me, especially at an establishment like this. Amanda helped turn things around, and the food was good, but the overall experience still left me disappointed. Will I come back? I'm honestly unsure.
