    Crazy caramel pretzel on a wafer cone! Sooo good
    Bria M.

    Fresh Tiki Bar is my favorite spot to get ice cream in downtown Somerville. It's located on division st. which is a pedestrian zone, so you'll have to find parking & walk to the store. As soon as you walk into Fresh Tiki Bar, you are greeted with fun, pink, tiki themed decor (perfect for Instagram or Yelp pics). There's seating inside for small groups or solo eating. They have a wide variety of flavors & options. My favorite flavor is the premium flavor- crazy caramel pretzel. I usually get it on a cone or in a pint to go but I've been dying to try one of their sundaes or ice cream sandwiches. The staff is super friendly & will give you recommendations as needed. Fresh Tiki Bar is definitely worth trying if you're in the area!

    Vanilla Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich
    Dan M.

    This place was only open a few days a week with limited hours. The inside gave off island vibes with the décor and music being played when I attended. The menu had mostly ice cream with tons of unique homemade flavors along with waffles and ice cream sandwiches. I opted for the ice cream cookie sandwich with vanilla ice cream ($8.75?). This was gigantic!! I still am unsure how all of the ice cream was fit into the two chocolate chip cookies, but it managed to all stay together. This was tasty. The vanilla ice cream was creamy and 'full.' The chocolate chip cookies were very tasty too and went well with the vanilla taste. I also tried a chocolate brownie flavor. It was far too chocolatey to me. Will I go back? I would.

    This place is a ray of sunshine, a burst of happiness and just covered in pink and flamingos. I never got a chance to see the inside as I've only learned they were in that little promenade off of Main St in Somerville recently, but I am pretty sold on this place for both sweet treats and healthy bites. Since Covid, they are only doing outdoor seating, to go and local delivery (I am not 100% sure if delivery is always an option) and you even order at the walk up window. It's pretty ideal if you've been avoiding new and even your favorite places because you aren't sure how well you'll be able to social distance. I've gotten an amazing Acai bowl that filled me up and then had some left over for a snack later on. I cannot remember its name but it had a lot of coconut, and pineapple and the acai base. It was so tasty and I chatted with the owner Amy about how their açai is not loaded with as much sugar as many other places (because of something that I feel silly for not remembering now) but it made me feel a lot better about the devouring the bowl. In addition to healthy snacks, their ice cream is out of this world. Seriously! I've tried the strawberries and cream, coffee and chocolate as part of their ice cream cookie sandwich box and it's deliciously creamy. I'm seriously in love with this place and would recommend a stop here when perusing Somerville.

    Super cute ice cream shop in Somerville! They have a good selection of flavors but it's not an extensive menu. I had the cookie doh and really enjoyed it. The scoop was a generous portion. I would definitely return!

    Medium Ice Cream in Waffle Cone: Butter Pecan (bottom) and Salty Pumpkin Pretzel (top)
    Huda S.

    Came in on a Friday night when visiting family in the area. It's one of the few dessert spots open till 10PM on Fridays. While there were a few other dessert options, we decided to check this place out for the variety. The dessert shop is located in a small nook where pedestrians can walk. It's perpendicular to the Main Street that runs through downtown Somerville, which is where you'd park to get here. As soon as we walked in, the decorations were the first thing that stood out to us. While we could tell the interior of the building wasn't the newest or most contemporary, the decor, wallpaper, and seating did a great job to create nice ambiance. The menu offers quite a variety of items ranging from waffles on a stick, to standard ice cream scoops, to donut ice cream sandwiches. For the ice cream, there are both "Premium" and "Signature" flavors offered. Either variety is available in a cup or cone. However, only "Signature" flavors are allowed to be chosen for cookie, donut, or waffle sandwiches. While I was intrigued by the waffle option, a few of the "Premium" ice cream flavors stood out to me. The flavor variety here outweighed my desire to try the waffle. I went for the medium size ice cream, which allows you to choose two flavors. I went for Salty Pumpkin Pretzel and Butter Pecan in a waffle cone. My cousin had went for a cookie sandwich, which comes standard with chocolate chip cookies. While it sounded delicious, the cookies are very thin. I did appreciate that the sandwich had a generous amount of ice cream in it. However, the huge scoop of ice cream and very thin cookies create a very unproportional ratio for holding an ice cream sandwich. It crumbles and becomes a mess very soon after biting into it. In terms of quality and flavor, I was very happy with both flavors of ice cream I received. My medium size in a waffle cone cost about 9 dollars. While that is a bit pricey for ice cream, that unfortunately seems to be the standard nowadays for most dessert places. I was at least happy to get a generous ice cream portion with very high quality ingredients and flavor. Overall, I enjoyed this place a lot. They offer a wide variety of items for people with varying dessert preferences. While I don't frequent this area a ton, I'd pay it another visit if I was in the area again.

    Came here for some treats and everyone enjoyed everything! What we got: Original hot chocolate Original waffle wands Warm brownie sundae Strawberry shortcake The original hot chocolate was rich and chocolatey, the wands were fluffy and had a bit of cinnamon which we enjoyed, and the warm brownie sundae and strawberry shortcake were so yummy! From the pictures, you can see that they piled the strawberry shortcake to the utmost top!

    Ice cream is high quality and HUGE variety whether you love ice cream, complex sundaes, smoothies or waffle covered in your current obsessions. There is a good amount of seating inside and outside. No samples and staff is still functioning like we are in the thick of a pandemic (behind a wall). It was challenging to see flavor options, crowd management is a problem and there's no photos of the treats. You need to choose on a hope and a dream and if you're lucky it's tasty and exactly what you hoped for.

    Nutella Cookie Waffle Wand
    Barb D.

    Such a fun spot in Downtown Somerville! You can definitely pop in for a cup or cone of ice cream (they have a bunch of unique flavors), but they also make sundaes and ice cream sandwiches with cookies or donuts! They have a variety of flavored hot chocolates and waffle wands. The waffle was so soft and buttery, I got mine topped with Nutella and their chocolate chip cookie crumble; really yummy! All Instagram worthy stuff. There are a few small tables inside but I imagine the best way to enjoy their desserts is walking along main street or sitting outside on a bench. Make sure you check them out if you're in the area! The owners are so nice and personable, they are clearly happy to be serving their customers and the community.

    strawberry shortcake sundae!
    Shirley C.

    Such a welcomed addition to downtown Somerville! Here's the scoop. There's something for everyone at Fresh Tiki, including those who gotta keep it dairy-free. The extensive menu ranges from smoothies, acai + pitaya bowls, frozen yogurt, ice cream sandwiches to ice cream sundaes - you name it, they have it. We stopped in after dinner and ordered an array of ice cream treats. You'll have to pay them a visit if you wanna see their ice cream flavors for the day. It's artisanal and made in small batches after all. The orange dream ice cream was a delight but the strawberry shortcake sundae was divine... and whimsical! For a few bucks more, you can even get the sundaes in "family size" to share. Creamy vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries (not the syrupy stuff) and fresh shortcake topped with a mountain of whipped cream. Holy moly. You can taste the love and perfection that goes into their ice cream creations. Well worth the visit!

    Smoothie time....
    Kimberly S.

    Popped in for some smoothies while enjoying some music on Division Street on Memorial Day.... They have a good variety of offerings so we went with a strawberry banana and a mango banana. We enjoyed the drinks... they are a little pricey but I guess it's in line with what other shops like this offer.... I'd like to visit again and try out one of their fresh fruit bowls....

    I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Not only is this place unlike anywhere around, their unique and incredible ice cream flavors and dessert concepts are simple amazing!!! I love love love the donut ice cream sandwich (which is made with fresh donuts from a local bakery). The attention to detail with every scoop is just impressive. Not only is the food beautiful, but the decor and atmosphere of this spot is totally instagrammable! This place is a MUST go!

    Cookie ice cream sandwich and nutella cookie waffle stick
    Teena K.

    Went yesterday with some friends to try out the place. All of the menu choices were appealing. What was most surprising was the proportion sizes of the items we got. Definitely sharable items fyi! Im assuming the woman working the window was the owner/manager. She was very accommodating to my party and you could tell that she was passionate about what she does. Would come back on a hot summer day

    Stopped by 1 pm for lunch…read more No wait for a table AC was working Fast, friendly service Food was great Same for ice cream to go

    I came across this place and decided to try it out. This place is very adorable inside. I love all…read moreof the decor. They have a lot of parking and seating indoors and outdoors. There was a bit of a mix up during our dinner with meals and the system going down but it was quickly fixed and not a problem overall. We started with 'Gabe's Street Corn' which was fresh char grilled NJ corn on the cob smothered in buttery brown sugar sriracha sauce, house chipotle aioli, smoked paprika, parmesan & fresh cilantro. I would come back just for this ... this was SO delicious. I am a Street Corn lover but this was some of the best I've ever had. For our entrees, my husband got the 'Root Beer BBQ Burger' which was char grilled angus burger, swiss, provolone, hardwood smoked bacon, house sarsaparilla root beer BBQ, lettuce, tomato, frizzled onions & cheese crusted brioche. This burger was BIG and he said it was one of the best he's ever had. I ordered the 'Grilled Watermelon & Basil Salad' which was mixed greens, toasted almonds, feta cheese, hardwood smoked bacon, charred juicy watermelon, fresh chopped basil, sliced cucumbers & house buttery garlic croutons; Served with balsamic vinaigrette. There was definitely not enough watermelon, but the salad was huge and quite good; very fresh. That is one thing I can say for sure; the portions are big. The prices are a bit high but you get a good portion. For my dessert, we got the ice cream flight which is 4 flavors of your choosing. We tried the 'Peanut Butter Cup' (very light on flavor, not in your face peanut butter but still good), 'Strawberry Buttermilk' (this was my favorite! So creamy and flavorful), 'Black Raspberry Truffle' (another favorite. HUGE chocolate chunks!) and 'Watermelon Garden Mint Mojito' (Light flavor, but not my favorite. I would not get this again. I tasted mostly mint, not too much watermelon). I would 100% come back if I was in the area and I would recommend. I love any place that has unique ice cream flavors and not just the typical flavors. Service was friendly and felt very welcoming.

    Met a friend at Bliss. Love getting lost in the comfortable environment with a hot rich coffee…read more Yesterday I splurged and had one of the special cookies(not on my diet). The staff are very kind and professional. I think the nature of neighborhood coffee shops tends to promote social interactions but with an option to isolate with a book or a laptop. Bliss is that comfortable place.

    I've been meaning to dine here. The first attempt was last year but unfortunately we came around…read more1:30pm on a weekday and they told us that the kitchen was already closed so we had to find another lunch spot. Finally I tried again and this second time I was able to try some of their offerings. I came on a Saturday and they were hosting DayLite Jersey House Music event. It was LOUD and packed with people just standing around. The vibes were cool though. My friends came before me and were able to snag a table in the back room. I went up to the counter to order. Unfortunately my first choice, a matcha latte, was sold out. I asked if they had any other options because I'm not much of a coffee drinker. I was told that there were flavored lemonades, I asked the about the flavors and the person who was helping me wasn't sure so they went and asked another person who ended up coming to list the syrups and just ringing me out. I ordered a blueberry lemonade and a blueberry pop-tart to go. Everything was fine until the end of our time there. As we were getting ready to leave I grabbed what I thought was my cup and took a quick sip to finish it off so I didn't have to carry it around. Turns out I grabbed a coffee from the table instead. I thought it was my friend's so I apologized to her about drinking her drink because I didn't realize I grabbed the wrong one in the dark. She goes, "oh no it's not my drink...I have mine in my hand." I'm like whose drink and dishes are these? She said that they were there before they got there and they just pushed it to the side. Omg I almost gagged, I just took the biggest sip of some random person's drink by accident. At that point I get up to go to the bathroom to rinse out my mouth. While I'm gone by friends get their things ready and also wait outside the bathroom, which is right by our table. As soon as I get out I walk back to grab my pop-tart and it was gone, cleared away by the staff in a matter of minutes. Crazy that they left the table with dishes and cups when we got there but when we were leaving they were in a rush to clear away everything that they take my basically full pop-tart too. I was so defeated at that point I just left. To note, I did take one bite of the pop-tart and it was actually very good. My lemonade was fine, nice and tart. Overall service is kinda lacking but it was also a crazy day to visit with an event going on so I can't really comment on how they are normally. I don't think I will back because I don't know if I can recover from swigging some rando's drink.
