Several 2 person small tables could make it challenging for larger groups. The only negative is that workers were busy that tables were not clean or wiped down.

I've also made a customized version of the demogorgon to add caramel core and fudge sauce. You mostly taste the toppings more than the actual ice cream. The demogorgon is great for the chocolate on chocolate craving. I didn't like the Vader as much because the frosting on top is too sweet. Cannolis and cream I subbed the Oreo frosting with their homemade whip. Their whip doesn't taste like anything sadly and their frosting is overpowering. I probably wouldn't get this again since all you taste is the chocolate chips and a hint of Oreo. The yogurt itself was bland. For the blueb sundae I love the fresh blueberries, pudding and crumb topping. It's very nice for a fruit ice cream just wish the ice cream was more flavorful. Order online for easier pickup as there is only 1 screen to take orders at and no seating inside. Quick service. Has picnic tables outside to sit and not too bad to find parking on the street. Has some little tables but limited and twinkly lights at night. Staff seemed very stressed when people crowd around and needs better organization of the pickup area vs ordering vs waiting to avoid this frustration/rudeness from the staff.

That's where I first discovered an Orange Freeze, a refreshing frappe like combination of orange sherbet and vanilla soft serve that quickly became one of my favorite summertime treats. So after celebrating our daughter's birthday in Quincy, we decided to walk down the street to Dairy Freeze on Adams Street for dessert. To my surprise and delight, they had orange sherbet and vanilla soft serve in the same machine and even offered it as a twist. There was no way I was passing that up. The first taste instantly brought me back to those childhood summers. It was absolutely delicious and filled with so many great memories. Sometimes a simple ice cream can do that. Dairy Freeze is one of those iconic neighborhood establishments that has been putting smiles on people's faces for decades. Great ice cream, friendly service, and a little dose of nostalgia made this an unexpected highlight of our evening. I'm so glad we stumbled across it, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Quincy looking for a sweet treat.

We got pretty lucky while roaming around and stumbled across what looks to be a new food hall that features a cool looking little ice cream shop called Crescent Ridge. Was I hungry? not really. Did I need ice cream? not at all. Did I order some since I probably won't be back for years? You betcha! I ended up ordering a two scoop cone with some form of cookie monster style ice cream as well as a scoop of double chocolate (or something like that). I was expecting two regular size scoops, but no, this cone was massive and dripping all over my hand (luckily, they offered a little bowl in case it melted to much) and I went to work on this thing. Both of the ice cream flavours were super rich, tasty, and really hit the spot (not of hunger, but of being cold) on a hot and humid New England day. Overall, Crescent Ridge is in the perfect location for grabbing some desert after eating at the food hall. The prices were reasonable, the kids working were great, and the ice cream gets a big thumbs up.

C Fruit Life is seriously the spot for dessert lovers! I recently tried their bingsoo, and oh my, it was like eating a fluffy cloud. I went for the mango bingsoo, and it was bursting with real mango flavor. You can totally tell they use top-notch ingredients. Their black sesame ice cream? Unreal. Packed with sesame seeds, it's like a flavor explosion in your mouth. Seriously, the best ice cream ever. Oh, and don't even get me started on their mango-wrapped crepe with whipped cream. It was just as tasty as it sounds. But here's the kicker - it's crazy affordable. I mean, $8 for a bingsoo that can easily feed three? That's a steal! I'm already planning my next trip because there's so much more on their menu I want to try. If you're after delicious desserts that won't break the bank, you've gotta check out C Fruit Life. Trust me, you won't regret it! read more

Have tried this place several times. I really love the taste of the dessert here. It reminds me of what I have at Hong Kong. It's not that sweet and the quality of the materials are good. I can tell the chef has put a lot efforts to make these desserts. My favorite is taro snowade, avocado smoothie and sesame soup. I have brought a lot of friends here. They all love the place and want to come back again. I don't know why the reviews on yelp are so bad. Some of them look like fake. But I will still try out this place regardless of the reviews. A good restaurant is worthy trying! read more

The space is bright and modern with a casual, grab-and-go feel. It gets busy during peak hours, but the staff move efficiently and drinks come out fairly quickly. Ordering is straightforward, and there are plenty of options to adjust sweetness and ice levels to your preference. The menu leans heavily into fresh fruit teas, milk teas, and specialty drinks. Their fruit teas are known for being vibrant and refreshing, often topped with real fruit pieces that add texture and flavor. Sweetness can run slightly high depending on what you order, but the customization options help balance it out. We tried the mango and passionfruit fruit teas, which both had a decent, well-rounded flavor and held up well without watering down quickly. Portion sizes are generous, and pricing is reasonable for the area. Overall, Bloome Fruit Tea is a solid option in Allston when you're craving a refreshing drink with bold fruit flavors. It's not overly fancy, but it delivers exactly what you'd expect from a reliable neighborhood bubble tea spot.
