    Easy ordering, great service, multiple samples to try, great flavors, clean location and really flavorful ice cream!

    I've only come during off hours so I've never experienced this space packed to the brim, but I've only ever had good experiences. The employees are friendly and I like the variety of both classic and more innovative flavors. There's also a bathroom available. One small disappointment was that the Dulce Hazelnut flavor displayed on the board was no longer available so I had to choose a backup flavor.

    Icecream was pretty good, size was on the smaller side I felt for the price. Ingredients tasted fresh. No seats but counter space to eat. I liked my sundae but I'd try something else next time.

    This spot is incredibly busy, with the store always packed and the line frequently extending out the door. That puts a lot of pressure on knowing what you want to order before you get to the front of the line, rather than the ability to try samples of the flavors before making a decision. There is a decent variety of flavors here, and we ended up settling on a scoop of the earl grey. It was more appealing than the other samples we tried, but nothing really stood out. Even the earl grey was just okay and rather uninspiring. It's right on Newbury, so it has the clean, modern look that is the norm in this part of Back Bay. However, based on the mediocre ice cream itself, I probably wouldn't come back.

    Newly opened on the corner of Boylston and Mass Ave (entrance faces Boylston, on the Fenway park side closest to Newbury), this place serves up unique flavors of ice cream. We tried the sweet corn and blueberry which sounds weird but was delicious and they only had one sorbet that day, mango, so I tried that and it tasted like a fresh mango. I've seen this brand at Whole Foods before but never had their fresh scooped ice cream until now. You can sample the flavors, it was empty when we got there but there was a line out the door by the time we left!

    The ice cream is tasty and worth trying! They have different flavors than your typical ice creamery and so many to try. The worker was nice in helping us sample different flavors and the inside of the store was wonderfully decorated and clean

    Expensive and other local ice cream stores are just as good. JP lick, Rancatore's and Christina just as good and a better value.

    My daughters and I went Monday night for Ice cream.... the place was packed first really warm…read morenight.. So we ordered ahead and got our order.. We have benn going here for a few years and the ice cream is amazing... my daughters got the that thick Boi and split it... we will be back... mine was ordered wrong but was still good..

    Nice ice cream shop with big portions. I've had their demogorgon, Vader, blueb and cannolis and…read morecream sundaes. I've also made a customized version of the demogorgon to add caramel core and fudge sauce. You mostly taste the toppings more than the actual ice cream. The demogorgon is great for the chocolate on chocolate craving. I didn't like the Vader as much because the frosting on top is too sweet. Cannolis and cream I subbed the Oreo frosting with their homemade whip. Their whip doesn't taste like anything sadly and their frosting is overpowering. I probably wouldn't get this again since all you taste is the chocolate chips and a hint of Oreo. The yogurt itself was bland. For the blueb sundae I love the fresh blueberries, pudding and crumb topping. It's very nice for a fruit ice cream just wish the ice cream was more flavorful. Order online for easier pickup as there is only 1 screen to take orders at and no seating inside. Quick service. Has picnic tables outside to sit and not too bad to find parking on the street. Has some little tables but limited and twinkly lights at night. Staff seemed very stressed when people crowd around and needs better organization of the pickup area vs ordering vs waiting to avoid this frustration/rudeness from the staff.

    I was able to spend a few hours in Boston last week for the first time in over 6 years, so I was…read morevery interested in checking out some of the new local shops around the Quincey Market area. We got pretty lucky while roaming around and stumbled across what looks to be a new food hall that features a cool looking little ice cream shop called Crescent Ridge. Was I hungry? not really. Did I need ice cream? not at all. Did I order some since I probably won't be back for years? You betcha! I ended up ordering a two scoop cone with some form of cookie monster style ice cream as well as a scoop of double chocolate (or something like that). I was expecting two regular size scoops, but no, this cone was massive and dripping all over my hand (luckily, they offered a little bowl in case it melted to much) and I went to work on this thing. Both of the ice cream flavours were super rich, tasty, and really hit the spot (not of hunger, but of being cold) on a hot and humid New England day. Overall, Crescent Ridge is in the perfect location for grabbing some desert after eating at the food hall. The prices were reasonable, the kids working were great, and the ice cream gets a big thumbs up.

    Their ice cream is really good! It's so creamy and the way the ice cream stretches like a gelato…read more The worker was also nice and only had us pay for one cone since the other cone was cracked. Also, be nice and respectful to the workers pls.
