White Mountain is unique, with creative flavors and weekly rotating specials. I really loved the Mexican chocolate, alongside the fruity creamy raspberry and perfectly crunchy chocolate chips. On top of it all, the girls who work there were so sweet. Highly recommend White Mountain Creamery.

I am always craving ice cream at night and I forget that most places (even the ice cream spots that…read moreare usually open until 2am) are either closed or close early on Sundays. We trooped from the North End to Chestnut Hill to check out White Mountain Creamery. We arrived around 11:30pm and super happy they close late, at 12am every day!! The staff were all super nice and helpful. All of their ice cream is homemade and you can definitely taste it when you try their ice cream. We all got small sizes: one with a scoop of cake batter + scoop of oreo, one strawberry, and one orange sherbet. They all were delicious and definitely satisfied our ice cream craving. Their interior aesthetic made me feel like I was stopping in at an ice cream joint in the middle of New Hampshire or Vermont haha I loved it. I also noticed they do mini ice cream cakes... ADORABLE. I'm most definitely coming back to try their mini ice cream cakes & for more ice cream!

Far Out Ice Cream is a newer addition to the dessert scene, specializing in New Zealand-style ice cream and boasting a year of operation. Located in a welcoming space, it offers a wide variety of flavors, mix-ins, and toppings to enhance your ice cream experience. On our first visit, we were impressed by the friendly and helpful staff, who, despite it being near closing time, took the effort to explain their unique ice cream-making process and suggest flavor pairings. We ordered two ice cream creations with mix-ins and toppings and a milkshake. The ice cream had a texture similar to soft serve but stood out with its creamy consistency and balanced sweetness. The mix-ins and toppings complemented the base flavors well. The milkshake struck a perfect balance--not too thick or watery--and delivered on flavor. Prices were reasonable, and they also offered prepackaged ice cream pints for take-home enjoyment. Overall, it was a fantastic first experience, and we highly recommend giving it a try! read more

I have never written a review for anywhere, but needed to leave a review here so everyone knows how awesome it actually is. First of all, the staff is so welcoming and helpful. The workers welcomed us as soon as we came in, and were SO kind and personable. Second of all, the ice cream is unlike anything I have ever had. They mix fruit with the ice cream, so it comes out in a creamy, fruity, delicious, not-too-sweet mixture. It is light and refreshing. I got the strawberry with graham crackers and loved it. The store is fun, bright, and they played great music. It seems odd to get ice cream in such cold weather, but I couldnt recommend this place more. I will definitely be a returning customer! read more

I ordered from them on Uber, cancelled my order immediately after making it, but instead of refunding they made me pay the full amount, and refused to deliver the order because I "cancelled it." Don't go anywhere near this business. All they care about is money and they'll screw you if they get the chance. read more

Great service and delicious for an after dinner dessert!…read more We came here around 7/8 on a weekend and the place was still pretty busy, but we managed to get a table in the back.

My favorite was the Dump Him as I'm a fan of a ton of toppings in one singular flavor. Overall, this was a great ice cream spot and I would love to come back to try more of their flavors!

The first time I went, the line was almost out the door. You order from a stationary tablet, where you can customize your order. I've always wanted to try New Zealand-style ice cream, where the berries are mixed in. My order did not disappoint! I went for chocolate mixed with Maine blueberries and matcha with a homemade waffle cone. I saw the staff making these cones. Since I ordered chocolate, I expected the chocolate-berry mix to be brown, but it was a darker purple. The taste was the perfect mix of chocolate and blueberry. It seems like many fruit-flavored ice creams are vanilla-based. Since I enjoy chocolate, a chocolate-based blueberry flavor was refreshing! Happy this place is so close. Will be back on another sunny day!

Ultimately, I'd recommend going to a traditional creamery instead, where you can sample flavors, speak directly with a helpful employee, and have your order made the way you want it.
