This location is quite small and more of a grab and go option, and their service is quick but not overly friendly. Besides this, I would come back for more every week (if it wasn't so pricey tbh), but the price reflects the quality ingredients and it's about the same as other ice cream spots in the city. Don't let the dairy free menu fool you, this is a spectacular dessert!

I stopped by Uncommon Ice Cream while visiting Boston and thought it was a cute spot. The shop is…read morevery small, but the bright red exterior makes it easy to notice from the street. There did not seem to be much seating on the ground level, and it felt pretty tight with people waiting in line. I noticed a staircase, so there may be more space upstairs, but I did not have an opportunity to check. The flavor list was the best part. They had a lot of interesting options, including Campfire S'mores, Watermelon Mint Sorbet, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Cinnamon Cornbread and Jam, Toasted Coconut Cream Pie, and 4th of July Cake Batter. Since I was there on the 4th of July, the seasonal flavors were fun to see. I ended up getting a small scoop of the Peanut Butter and Jelly flavor. It was rich and creamy, and overall an enjoyable flavor. The peanut butter flavor was definitely the strongest part, though. I could see the jelly in it, but I could not really taste it as much as I expected. It was still good, but I think adding toppings would have made it a little more balanced and interesting. Overall, Uncommon Ice Cream is a nice stop if you are in the area and want to try creative flavors. I would go back to try another scoop, especially one of the more unusual rotating options.

Uncommon Ice Cream is a small Boston shop that takes its name seriously, and the flavor creativity…read morehere is genuinely unlike what you will find at any other scoop shop in the city. We walked into a space where the owners are local and the passion behind the menu shows in how much thought goes into each combination, with flavors rotating frequently enough that repeat visits almost always offer something new to try. The six scoop sampler at twelve dollars is the obvious way to experience the menu on a first visit and makes it easy to move across the range without committing to a full scoop of anything you are unsure about. The basil strawberry is the standout, landing somewhere between a dessert and a Caprese salad in a way that sounds unusual until the first bite makes the whole concept click. The cinnamon cornbread is another strong order with a warmth and depth that feels more like a baked good than a traditional ice cream flavor. Gram's Magic Bars and the fluffernutter are both worth trying for anyone who wants to lean into the nostalgic, dessert forward side of the menu, and the roasted banana brings a caramelized richness that works well as a complement to something brighter. The texture across the menu is smooth and well made, and the sweet cream base that runs through many of the flavors is strong enough to stand on its own if you want something more classic while still being in the room. A few flavors have landed lighter on intensity than the concept might suggest going in, so sampling before committing on a less familiar flavor is always a smart move here. Service is friendly and the staff is happy to walk you through the rotating lineup, offering samples without hesitation. The space is small and can get crowded during peak hours, but the line moves efficiently. For an ice cream shop in Boston that rewards exploration and takes creative risks that actually land, Uncommon Ice Cream is a genuine standout.

After eating a really lackluster and kind of bad lunch, I was walking around the market when the…read morebackside of The Boston Chipyard came up and I ran around to the front to see what this place was about. This cool little cookie shop had a bunch of different flavour cookies for sale as well as some drinks and I knew I needed to at least grab a half dozen to try. I ended up grabbing five for me and one for my wife (she only wanted one, so don't judge me) and I grabbed some of the mint chocolate chip, double chocolate, and some chocolate chips as well and every single cookie was pretty darn solid. Don't get me wrong, they weren't exactly fresh or warm, but the cookies still had really solid flavour to them and when it comes to little cookies, I'm pretty darn easy to please. Overall, The Boston Chipyard had a fantastic name, the staff was solid, the location is great right outside of the Faneuil hall, and I mean, you can't really go wrong with cookies.

Tender shaved ham on a soft, crusty baguette with high quality butter, cheese, and yummy cornichons. Nearly perfect, but if I am being picky, I'd prefer a cheese with a little more nutty Swiss cheese flavor. That being said, everything else being absolutely spot-on more than made up for this! We also tried the Basque cheesecake and it was very yummy! It was decadent and rich in flavor but light and delicate in texture. The sesame orange cookie had an amazing flavor as well. All around, happy with everything we ordered and would be happy to go back to try more. :)

I'm reviewing the menu choices as I wait on line. I have one couple in front of me finishing up. I could go for a nice hot cup of coffee along with my doughnut. I walk up to the window and ask, Do you sell coffee? No, just doughnuts. Water? No, just doughnuts. When in Boston, how do you pass up a Boston Crème Doughnut? Well, when they're making Apple Fritters from scratch, everything else will have to wait until my next visit. I pay for my fritter and sit at one of the outdoor tables. The bar next door has a live band playing, it's a good night in Boston as I take a bite of my fritter. First, this is a warm treat. They must of made the fritter and kept it warm in the small oven. The exterior shell is almost crunchy as I get big chucks of fresh apples. This fritter is like a big hug, each bite is warm and comforting. Back Door Donuts, you did a great job the other day! My Apple Fritter was fresh and tasted great. I sure was thirsty tho...
