    Everyone loves Lizzy's! There is always a line here for their excellent homemade ice cream. Their menu is huge and offers yogurts, sherbets, sorbets, no sugar ice cream, sundaes, smoothies, frappes, and adult ice cream (with alcohol). They also are a bakery and had cakes, cookies, tres leches, cookies, tiramisu, and even the now viral Dubai Chocolate. For cones they have shamrock green cones (since it's close to St. Patrick's day), sprinkle dipped cones, and peanut dipped cones. The Oreo ice cream is a dream for Oreo lovers, with generous chunks of the cookie mixed in. The black raspberry ice cream was packed with large, flavorful chunks of raspberry, making each bite a treat. They also give you huge scoops, so you definitely get your money's worth! If you're in a hurry they have grab and go ice cream containers to the side. There is a second room next the main dining area that has a lot of tables for seating.

    Can you say you've had ice cream in MA if you haven't been here? This place always has a line pouring out, especially in the warmer months. Sometimes they have unique seasonal flavors to try if you're feeling adventurous as well during May in coronation with the annual steampunk festival they had a special ice cream sundae! This was super tasty and adorned with chocolate gears. On the flipside, I was also intrigued by their mango tajine creation. I made a mistake with the flavor palette. I did not enjoy this as much as I'd hoped but I think I still finished it during other times I've tried their basic flavor such as meant and have enjoyed it. The chocolate bananas covered in nuts are also a solid option. Inside they have limited seating just given that they are downtown on Moody Street. Usually, they have tables outside set up during summer if the outdoor dining option is available. Overall, I've always enjoyed this place, but I wouldn't say they have the most memorable flavors.

    Lizzy's is perfect and consistent--- the ice cream is always high quality and prices are reasonable for the portion size. You cannot go wrong with any flavor, and I'd highly recommend checking out the seasonal flavors! During our most recent visit, I went for the classic Chocolate flavor (was wowed!) and my girlfriend went for the seasonal Apple Pie flavor. It was so delicious-- reminded me of having Apple Pie with Vanilla ice cream during Thanksgiving, except 10x better. A really solid place for ice cream in the Greater Boston area.

    Great massive selection and ice cream. Personally go with the coconut which is always great.

    Popular ice cream spot - first visit it was later in the evening 9pm Small waiting line - employees appeared busy. Plenty of happy faces sitting enjoying their cold treats of ice cream I don't often order a Sundae, this was that rare occasion. I ordered a grape-nut ice cream Sundae with chocolate fudge topping and this did not disappointment They offer small, medium and large portions Below is a medium- a small would be enough Go pay them a visit. I am positive that you will come back again ....

    Good icecream spot in the area but a bit expensive for the portions and flavors are rather standard. Nice place to stop in otherwise

    Good soup: If the owner/manager is listening - please crank those freezers. I would love to give Lizzy's a full five star review for the taste alone, but I can't (at least right now). The ice cream was incredibly tasty and the shop was really cute, but the ice cream itself was too soupy to stay on the cone. The first ice cream we ordered melted before it reached our hands. The scooper asked if we wanted a cup and planted the ice cream scoop side down. The cup quickly filled with soupy ice cream before we reached the table. We decided to pull out the big guns for the second ice cream and went with a waffle cone, which started out strong. A few minutes in disaster struck and the cone split in half, sparing my shirt but leaving me coneless. Great ice cream and lots of laughs - just needs to be frozen

    Lizzy's is a Waltham staple. I would argue it's one of the best ice cream shops in Massachusetts. Awesome flavors. The cones are sooo good. Lots of great toppings. They seem to have a rotation of flavors and I can't ever pick because they're all so good that I want to try them all. I love this place. I'm not a huge sweets person but when I want ice cream I'm going to Lizzy's .

    They even have it available at intermission at the Reagle Music Theater in Waltham

    Just tried Lizzy's Vanilla purchased in a pint size from Idylwilde in Acton. One of the tastiest vanillas I've ever had!

    I drove by here for over a decade and never had the chance to stop but I stopped today The vibe…read moreinside is aged comfort. Marble tables with mismatched chairs and beat up old leather sofas. Chandeliers that have to harken back to much older tenants in this space. The food is good, I had a ham egg and cheese on croissant and it was wonderful. The croissant was surprisingly fresh. The cappuccino was rounded and smooth and didn't taste at all burnt. Service was ok. Polite but not engaging, my cappuccino was forgotten entirely and I had to ask for it again but it was then made promptly. Regulars that came in behind me had a completely different experience. Service was bright and engaging for them. Again, there was nothing BAD about my service, it was just milquetoast and the baristas seemed disinterested. This is definitely a place where people come and linger and there were folks sprawled about the sofas and typing away at the tables. If I lived in Waltham, I's probably make it a staple in my routine. But I did not linger long, I ate my sandwich, sipped half my coffee and took the rest on my way. I have a feeling this is the kind of place that just grows on you overtime, that said, if you need a coffee or tea and a snack on your way, this may be worth a stop.

    5 years later same review. Very good dry cappuccino (bless you) , friendly service, great…read moreambience. You could get some work done here. Just as I said last time--you'd have to be a real Scrooge not to give this place high marks. If you have a little gem like this in your town, you should support it. Also. Get the molasses ginger cookie!
