    Truly the sweetest two employees ever! They helped us picked a flavor and showcased their new flavors and the tried and true ones. I love that they have little 2oz cups so you're not stuck eating a whole lot of something you don't really like AND it's good if you wanna try a whole bunch of flavors. That being said, they need some WOW flavors like ube or fig. That being said, I liked that they had white pistachio and ginger. We ended up getting strawberry cheesecake. It was yummy and had big chunks of cheesecake so yay! They have one cafe table outside and the shop is crazy tiny but I'm still impressed with the two employees! Give em a raise!

    I love ice cream, and I would say Lizzy's is easily the best I've tried in the Boston area so far. It has a wide variety flavors, is super colorful inside, and gets to you quick. The consistency was fantastic - super creamy and smooth! I opted for the pumpkin pie while my girlfriend tried black raspberry, and we were both so impressed with both flavors! The pumpkin pie even had pieces of pie crust and pie filling swirled throughout which was a fantastic touch. Super great prices for the area too! While I wish there was a bit more seating around the area, my girlfriend and I enjoyed walking around with our ice cream. You will NOT be disappointed and this is absolutely a must-try!

    Very standard ice cream store with a variety of flavors. The black raspberry was delicious! There was no wait on a weekday afternoon. The space is pretty tight so plan to grab and go.

    A very tiny ice cream shop located in Harvard Square but packed on the weekends with the line being out the door. They serve ice cream in cup or cone or by pint if you choose to buy it whole. We had the almond praline flavor ice cream and boy do they lacked that flavor with so many almonds, it was amazing!

    We stopped for ice cream after Harvard museuming. There was a line out the door because inside is super tiny. I felt bad for one guy working. But he was fast. It's just the patrons that were slow! I did not appreciate the flavor menu sign in white letters on pink. So hard to read. We could have been ready sooner if it was easy to read. I got banana and he got black cherry. They were good but not magical.

    They have super tiny cup sizes so that if you're only craving a spoonful of ice cream, you could actually get just a spoonful of ice cream. If you get the black raspberry flavor you might wish you ordered a larger scoop! I almost walked past this place because the shop itself is so tiny that it's easy to miss. It looks like a lot of their signature/popular flavors are chocolate-based. I was in the mood for something more fruity so I went for the black raspberry, and it did not disappoint at all! I loved how the ice cream captured the tartness of raspberries while still being super creamy. The ice cream had a nice balance between sweet and tart. I did not feel like I was being overwhelmed with sugar. I'd definitely come back to get it again. There are a bunch of flavors to choose from, and they also have a small selection of dairy-free/frozen yogurt/sugar free options. I love that they have packs of disposable wet towelettes next to their napkins and spoons-- we all know that a napkin is sometimes not enough to clean up a sticky melted ice cream mess.

    Amazing ice cream but served with a spoon that couldn't handle it. I had to go in with my teeth really. It would get on the spoon and i was afraid the spoon would break. Get better spoons please!!!! Also get a fan or open the door or do something about the lack of a/c in here. I walked in and immediately had to walk back out because it was stifling in there!

    Came here for an after-brunch dessert and loved their ice cream! Got the Charles River Crunch and chocolate cookie dough. It's a small store, with very little (if any) seating, but their ice cream was very yummy. Satisfying to enjoy while walking around Harvard Square on a summer's day.

    Cookies and cream

    Lizzy's Ice Cream in Boston offers a wide selection of options with great texture, serving sizes, and a few vegan sorbets. Their cookies and cream ice cream was delightful, with creamy base and generous cookie chunks. A must-visit for ice cream lovers. We had the Cookies and creams icecream and it was awesome!

    Ginger ice cream
    Kaitlin M.

    Delicious, creamy goodness! I got a sugar cone of the ginger ice cream because what an exciting and uncommon flavor. I loved the taste of the ginger, there were tiny pieces of ginger throughout. Beware: the ice cream is insanely soft, bordering soft serve despite it being scooped from the tub. If you're not prepared to down the entire cone immediately, go for the cup. My brother had the Oreo ice cream and loved it! I have never seen so many Oreos mixed into ice cream. He recommended! Definitely worth popping in for a frozen treat.

    Hands down best ice cream in Boston. On par with Christina's, but significantly better vegan options so Lizzy's wins from that edge

    One of the best raspberry sorbets I've had! Real chunks of raspberry and a refreshing burst of fruity flavor. Yum

They also had a large menu but only a few of them were actually in the store. It was very understocked. They did have clear gluten labels though, which was helpful.

Went here and the only thing that kinda bummed me out was the service. The employee was either having a bad day or just wasn't feeling it at all. Idk. We worked with it b/c in the end we just wanted our macaron. Overall, the prices were a bit high, but the macarons were delicious. In the end we would come back but when we looked for dessert the next evening, we definitely chose ice cream instead.
