While Christina's has the staple ice cream flavors , its real draw are the specialty selections. Seasonal favorites like eggnog and fresh mint are unique and delicious. Honey Lavender is also a fave Read more

Very fluffy, flavorful ice cream . I tried ginger , and I can't wait to try each of their unique flavors later. P.S. Many tips are saying it's cash only , but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

Jake Smith

Get an adventurous flavor, and then try to grab a seat on one of the benches out front. Eat your ice cream while enjoying the atmosphere of quaint Inman Square.

Try something you wouldn't easily find somewhere else! Loved the green tea flavor . Friendly service and perfectly sweet ice cream . Also: They take debit and credit cards.

Chris Steele

Christina's other storefront is a spice shop, which becomes apparent when you catch a whiff of the ice cream shop . Try the khulfi or ginger molasses for starters.

Tim Luo

The burnt sugar and carrot cake ice creams are outta this world

Mike Chau

Try the Coffee Oreo And Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream - Generously packed in a huge waffle cone . This ice cream is really really good - it's so thick you kinda need to chew it.

Ingrid Hartman

It's all about the khulfi ice cream ! Exotic spices are what Christina's is all about.

Kat H

Amazing khulfi ice cream if you're into Indian food . Also, ginger , burnt sugar , sassafras root, and green tea .

Kevin M

They take card now which is great. Great ice cream at a much better price than Toscaninis. Make sure you try a few flavors!

Best ice cream in town , and the spice market they own next door has a huge variety of specialty items . -Tania Peterson, Top Chef Just Desserts

Crystal King

Christina's has some of the more adventurous flavors along with the traditional. Sometimes you'll find lavender or mustard , for example. Their chocolate styles are rich and delish.

Hey it's super delicious ice cream served by mildly grumpy people. Don't forget it's Cambridge after all.

Jenny Mackintosh

Burnt sugar might taste odd at first bite, but it will grow on you. So delicious.

Chuck Roslof

Possibly the best ice cream in Cambridge. Very creamy with fresh flavors. Mexican chocolate is a favorite.

Tiffany Lopinsky

My favorite is the Adzuki Red Bean ! ????

Francesca Gordini

Peanut Butter Chip + Chocolate Mousse is the best combo you can get!! The closest ice cream to the real Italian Gelato in the US!!

Keri Garel

Even Tosci's and JP Licks don't have some of the flavors you'll find at Christina's. Try the adzuki bean !

Jackie Westside

Jägermeister ice cream !? Say what. ???? Also, the small size holds a very decent amount of ice cream . ????

Mike Moreno

go with an appetite, and order a bunch of different flavors, you won't be disappointed. Ginger Molasses is very tasty

The flavors are interesting but the ice cream is too icey and ultimately not that flavorful. Opt for Toscanini's instead.

If can't decide, let peeps pass you in line . Try peppermint , malted vanilla , coconut almond chip

Their kalamansi ice cream is totally authentic !!

Malted vanilla is my new favorite.
