lazy bar
Isha A.

My new favorite ice cream shop in Boston!! Truly the most delicious flavors. The lazy bear bars are SO good. The service is good too, and everyone who works there is really nice. Really cute inside, love the swing chairs.

Such a cute local creamery. It's conveniently located near Garvey Playground so street parking is abundant. You can't miss it with how eye-catching the tropical decor is. I ended up getting their smallest scoop which was a tad pricey and too large (would be nice if they had a smaller size available) but the ice-cream was delicious. Very creamy and flavorful. You can also pick three different flavors in a small which is great. They don't skimp on the add-ins and toppings. Would recommend giving them a try if you're in the area :)

1 scoop
Aya R.

Dining method: Counter-serve and they have patio seating off to the side and a few (literally like three) seats indoors. Item(s) ordered: 1 scoop, half Banana Chip and half Coffee Value: 1 scoop at is gigantic. Please keep it up, Lazy Bear. I love it. The Review: I'm trying to think of one thing I didn't like about Lazy Bear and I just can't. I guess the flavors could be more creative. But it was SO good. I loved every moment of my Banana Chip and Coffee mixed scoop. I'd recommend the Banana for anyone who likes a creamy, milky flavor like caramel or maple. And where do they get their chocolate? It is divine. Lazy Bear is a great place to hang with friends, especially the outside area. I didn't get to try the black raspberry, mint chip, chocolate, or maple, so I guess I have to make a reappearance...5/5 thanks so much, Lazy Bear.

Strawberry with sprinkles

Great little spot located conveniently next to Garvey Playground. The ice cream was thick and creamy and the millennial vibes were fun. There was a nice variety of flavors but we stuck with raspberry Oreo and strawberry which were both delicious. The portion sizes were decent for the price and the swings were fun to eat on. It is a bit tight inside but the line moved fast. It was pretty bustling for a rainy weekday night. Parking is limited to street parking.

Amazing ice cream. One of the best in Boston as well as the area. Charming locally owned shop in the Dorchester neighborhood. The flavors are well done, especially for hard ice cream. Highly recommend trying it!

I got the lazy bar. Not sure what the outside layer of amazingness is but the filling was white chocolate mocha

This place rocks!! Some quality ice cream at a fair price. Our servers were very helpful in helping us choose. This place is very cute on the inside with a few swings at a seating bar by the window.

Right off the bat- This place is adorable! The theme is cohesive in the flavors, wallpaper, logo and decorations. The service was very friendly- offering samples and flavor explanations freely. I landed on muddy river - highly recommend for anyone who loves chunky/stuffed ice cream. We also got a scoop of coffee Oreo and it was equally delicious. Sitting in the swings and enjoying your ice cream is quite the joyful experience!

Inside

Super cute creamery, decorated very nicely! Nice variety of flavors, some with unique names as well! Staff was really nice and patient while I was struggling to decide what flavor I wanted . I went with one scoop of the tsunami which was vanilla ice cream with brownie, chocolate chips, and fudge pieces. It was really yummy! Nice flavor and texture. The scoop was a generous portion as well. I also tried an ice cream sandwich which was good as well. Overall, would definitely recommend checking this place out!

Medium ice cream
Stephanie B.

Ordered a medium of 2 different flavors. This was what I got. For $8, I'd expect it to be a little more robust in the portion. It didn't come close to filling the cup and as you can see, the flavor on top was basically one large spoonful. The ice cream itself was tasty but the portion was meager. Sadly disappointing.

The custard is more of a cream but still good. Where I'm being picky: the cone could've been a little crispier and the toppings were pretty minimal. I couldn't taste or see any of the caramel sauce and the Oreo dust is so fine I think I inhaled more of it into my lungs than I actually ate. I wish it was actual mashed up pieces not fine dust. We will definitely be back though! I just won't get Oreo crumbs next time.

I've heard folks raving about this place for years, so finally decided to swing by and try it out…read more First off, must say I'm a bit of a skeptic regarding specialty ice cream shops: with one exception (a "frozen custard" place in Texas of all places, where you could see the super-rich stuff very glacially oozing out of the machine, and one milkshake's worth of it kept me full for the rest of the day!) I have yet to find any that are significantly better than ordinary Haagen Daz from a supermarket. In fact, most ice cream parlour ice creams aren't even as good, while costing orders of magnitude more than supermarket H-D! Toscanini's is close to equal to H-D in my book...and mainly for the fact that they offer some truly unusual and original flavors: we had the Mango Sticky Rice, Burnt Caramel, and Kulfi. My friend who enjoyed the first one the most, quickly tired of the second, and the third was my favorite by far, mainly because I love cardamom and saffron so much. I was somewhat conflicted with the Burnt Caramel...first taste was delightful, but halfway through the novelty faded away for the most part. We both appreciated that the ice cream was not hyper-sweet like JP Licks, though. HOWEVER, the extreme creaminess, density, and dry mouth-feel of H-D was just not there, as usual. I'd describe the texture of Toscanini's ice cream to be fairly ordinary, like a typical soft/smooth gelato texture. Not bad, but not anything I would really write home about. YMMV of course. Otherwise, service was good and the place is clean and pleasantly modern inside, with 3 nice new steel benches to sit at outside. The benches are curiously turned AWAY from the street, I suppose to foster more of a "communal" vibe and people-watching opportunities. I've walked by during peak hours and seen it quite full, so this place clearly is still quite popular. At $8.25 for 3 scoops (albeit fairly generous sized scoops) of oh, 8 out of 10 ice cream, I don't see myself ever becoming a regular here despite the undeniably interesting/unique flavors, unless I came mainly for the people-watching opps on a nice weather day.

The huge lines seem intimidating, but they go by quite quickly, and it spreads into 3 separate lines inside. Bear in mind they are CASH ONLY. They do box your orders nicely with their iconic string. :) Although they're known for their cannoli, you can also order other pastries like eclairs, whoopie pies, brownies, cheesecakturnovers, florentines, scones, croissants, cookies, and even Dubai chocolate. Their pastry variety is endless. I ordered the Mint chip and Pistachio cannoli. Both were decadent but not too heavy or sweet. One downside is that I felt they were a bit drier than Modern, but otherwise comparable. Each was $8, although you can get "kits" for cheaper (some flavors like Dubai chocolate are more expensive). I'd love to come back and try the rest of their cannolis and pastries!

My friend and I were on the hunt for a good ice cream spot that gave the "farm fresh ice cream"…read morevibe and we came across Dairy Freeze during our search. The ice cream itself was sooo good. I got my usual: soft serve twist with rainbow sprinkles in a waffle cone. The cone was so fresh and flavorful, the rainbow sprinkles also tested fresh (I love when the sprinkles have their own distinct taste. That's how you know they're fresh), and the soft serve was cold and creamy. The dream. My friend got the cookie dough hard ice cream in a waffle cone and she really liked it too. The ordering/waiting lines were wild. Idk if it was an off-night when we went, but there were at least 15 people standing around waiting for their ice cream while we were in line ordering. Then it came our time to wait and it took 12 minutes just to get these 2 cones out. The kitchen was closed by the time we were there too, so no one was waiting on food. We were all waiting on an ice cream cone. I feel for them - it was a hectic summer night and everyone wants good ice cream - but I honestly hadn't seen anything quite like this before!
