    Updated menu with credit card surcharge information included

    Soft serve was great! Really good quality ice cream. I was irked at the credit card surcharge fees that they are charging which add 7% to the bill

    Slush king - love their ice cream. So many options, such nice service & reasonably priced. Somehow we end up there more often than we should ! It just hits the spot on a sunny hot day.

    Great soft serve and gelato in East Boston for reasonable prices. I loved my large stracciatella gelato sundae with hot fudge, whipped cream, crushed nuts, and a cherry. It was heavy on the whipped cream but still very good. My friends loved their ice cream sandwiches as well!

    Mango Homemade Slush

    So affordable and so delicious! Service was very fast as well. I wish they were open year-round!!

    My go to spot since they opened. Delicious, great price & value / frappes are a repeat order for me (even tho you'd benefit from a larger straw) I still come here & buy my milkshakes! Family loves the brownie sundae & fried dough

    Medium watermelon and lemon. Perfection. And like 3$....

    Best slush ever. Wish this place was open more often... I really like the grape slush, and of course watermelon and lemon. I like they have real fruit flavors and the classic artificial you sometimes need. It's the best place to go and spend 4$ on a big cup of cold goodness.

    Mango slush
    Hartwell P.

    I love this place I go all the time and get the mango slush in a quart size. My roommates also love to come here

    Gelati
    Melissa W.

    Gelati was amazing!!! 10/10 recommend. It is any flavor icee with either soft serve or gelato on top!

    pina colada, lemon, guava, and passion fruit
    Emily S.

    So glad I found them. Perfect on a sunny day and you can tell that they use all natural and it's delicious. Our favorites were the lemon, passion fruit, and guava. The mangonada was good but I think the tajin overpowered the mango too much. Looking forward to coming back and trying their soft serve.

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!

No seating inside it's take and go. The box and string are a nice touch. Found it to be delicious and a good size . I would have given this closer to 4 stars because the $8 seems a little steep. But the packaging alone might cost $2. It is popular and famous for a reason

You really can't go wrong with them and they are a must try. I love the gelato in them, it really kicks them up a notch. I also got the espresso martini which was very very good too. Definitely a top 5 espresso martini. We also got an affogato and had baileys added to it- this was AMAZING! If you're into dessert drinks this is the best place for them. Sometimes you have to wait in line but once you're seated the service is great. The staff checks in often and is extremely helpful. This is a great date night or hang out spot, it has a very relaxed atmosphere and feels like a cafe. Highly recommend!

They came up to me and gave me attitude over it and them not wanting screens. I was like okay but then they walked off and didn't take our orders. They saw us leaving and asked if we wanted anything. We said "No! I said we respected your wishes and never disrespected your policy but instead of taking our orders you gave us shit and walked off." They obviously don't want customers.

    I only stopped by the Isabella Museum and Northeastern University, but unexpectedly, I had the best…read moreice cream I've had since arriving in the U.S. "Gelato Cheaper than Therapy"--truly an apt description. My previous favorite was Amorino, but I think this place is a step above. The texture of the ice cream was superb--exquisitely smooth and creamy, yet not as sticky as Amorino. Coconut: Coconut ice cream in the U.S. is always legendary, but this was the pinnacle of the legendary. The aroma of coconut and milk was the richest I've ever tasted, and it felt very natural, with just the right amount of sweetness. Naked Yogurt: Similar in design to Amorino's Yogurt & 0% Fat Yogurt, both were pure, rich, and unsweetened yogurt, but this one had a more intense milky flavor. Espresso Mascarpone: The signature flavor. The bittersweet aroma of espresso was distinct yet mellow, but the presence of mascarpone cheese is limited. Very refreshing. Other flavors: Pistachio had a rich pistachio flavor and was a safe choice; Tiramisu and Dulce de Leche were both a bit too sweet. From this perspective, Amorino seems to offer a more well-rounded experience, but I still prefer the surprising quality of this place. The sorbets were all decorated with fruit, making them especially beautiful. If you try too many samples, the staff might get a little annoyed. I was reminded after trying the fourth flavor, so I reluctantly stopped.
