    Ice Cream Flight
    Emily L.

    I can't speak to the drinks but I love the flight of ice cream deal they had! So worth it. It was 13 dollars for SIX scoops of Gracie's ice cream! Loved all the flavors we got - coffee, cookies and cream, pandan, ube, sweet cream, strawberry. The service is slow during the day (he is by himself during the day time) but I very much respect how hard the guy works. He bartends, is the cash register, cooks the food, and scoops the ice cream. What a trooper. Even though he was so busy, he was very friendly.

    heartbreaker + pandan frappe
    Angelina Z.

    Came here for drinks after dinner. We got the pandan frappe and heartbreaker cocktail. I'm a big fan of "unique" desserts, and love trying new flavors--the frappe came in a huge glass and was delicious! The cocktail was strong, with a wooden taste. Great place to try fun new drinks! I definitely have to come back to try their ice cream as well!

    Gracie's Ice Cream is one of my favorite local ice cream shops, and I was ecstatic to hear they were opening a second location in Kendall Square. My partner and I stopped by on opening day, and in addition to ice cream, this location also serves coffee, food, and alcohol, including some absolutely delicious "adult frappes." Earnest Drinks + Gracie's Ice Cream is currently offering outdoor dining (and take-out) via online ordering only. The outdoor dining space is spacious but limited, and you are expected to seat yourself on a first come basis. All of the tables are numbered and named to facilitate seamless ordering and delivery/service of food/drinks. We ordered the Muffuletta and Southern Cheese Dog with BBQ Pulled Pork (+$2) in addition to the Pandan Whiskey Frappe and Ube Coconut Frappe, and ended our night with a scoop of the Twinkies n' Jam (!!). The Muffuletta tasted authentic compared to the ones we've had in New Orleans, with just slightly less of an oomph factor. My partner felt that there were not enough olives but I felt that in comparison to the other ingredients, the ratio was spot-on. The Southern Cheese Dog was insanely juicy and the Fritos provided an incredible added texture. However, I still felt hungry after finishing the entire hot dog. In comparison, the muffuletta was light but very filling. I cannot rave enough about the Pandan Whiskey Frappe. Oh. My. God. To my partner's eternal dismay, I am not and will never be a whiskey person, but I absolutely loved this drink. The flavor of the pandan was not too sweet and provided the drink a well-rounded earthy taste. The Ube Coconut Frappe tasted like an ube pina colada and was good, but fell slightly short of my expectations in comparison to other ube flavored alcoholic drinks I've had in the past. Overall, we enjoyed both the food and drinks at Earnest Drinks + Gracie's Ice Cream. The flavors were satisfying and well-rounded, and we'll definitely be back again to try their cocktails + other food items!

    They have good drinks and good service. The ube frappe is delicious. Great spot for an after-work drink and ice cream with friends.

    4.5/5! Really…read moreenjoyed the chef's special platter since we got a mix of chicken, beef, and lamb. Meat was tender and flavored well. You also get the option of substituting meats which was nice. My favorite was the chicken. I usually don't eat lamb, but the kabobs did not taste gamey, and I enjoyed it! Special shoutout to the bread they serve. Was probably my favorite part of the dinner!!

    I was very pleasantly surprised by the dinner we had at The Helmand! We arrived on a weeknight and…read moreit was very busy, but luckily the staff were able to still seat us right away. Our table was right next to a huge wood-fired oven where we could see the fresh table bread being made which was pretty cool. We ordered 3 items off the menu, 2 appetizers (Aushak and Mantwo) and 1 main dish (lamb kebab). I've never had Afghan food before, so the ingredients and flavors used in each dish were very unique to me, but everything worked very well. The Aushak in particular was the most surprising.. they called it "ravioli", but it was more dumpling-esque to me, which an interesting bolognese-like sauce with yogurt. You wouldn't think those flavors would work together but they really do. The Mantwo also paired very nicely with the Aushak, with more of an earthy taste to it. The lamb kebab was also very tasty, though it wasn't anything super unique. The free bread for the table was also a surprising highlight, as we got to try various different dipping sauces (which we then also used to supplement the kebab). Service was attentive, the ambiance of the restaurant was nice, and overall really enjoyed our dinner here.
