Ranked the best ice cream shop in all of Massachusetts! They serve wild, delicious flavors that'll keep you coming back for more! Personal favorite is the B3 (brown butter , brownies , & brown sugar ).

Best ice cream in the US for a reason. Has a creamy chewiness to it (in a good way). Flavors are amazing. Be adventurous. Try: B^3, Earl gray, Vienna finger , peanut butter cookie , and Butterfinger .

Noah Weiss

Tasty coffee and a great place to work with lots of tables, outlets, and fast wifi . Vietnamese coffee (sweet) was a treat. I hear they have good ice cream , too...

Jenny

On a hot day, mango sorbet and green tea are a refreshing combo. Always get two flavors, makes more sense than one in terms of both value and deliciousness

Tulay Kurt

Best ice cream is orange+cardamon+saffron. Since I tasted it, I feel like I will get addicted to it. It is such a different taste, I have ever had. The place is casual and cool! I like Toscanini's

Sam N

Micro sundaes are the perfect size for me: a small scoop of ice cream with fudge and whipped cream on top. The little tasting spoons are the right proportion to eat it with

Margaret Wang

Hands down my favorite ice cream in Cambridge and Boston. The gingersnap molasses is my go to flavor, but be sure to try all the exotic new ones! They change each time I go!

Crystal King

Toscanini's is always changing it up with unusual flavors. Everything is made in house, and you can't go wrong with anything you choose. My faves are B3, goat cheese brownie , fluffernutter!

Dan Pullman

The ice cream raves are all true. I go for the Vietnamese Coffee and to sit at the high table where it is very comfortable to bring out the computer and work. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Jackie Westside

Great place to meet up with friends, chill at the couches , and enjoy some gooood ice cream .

Kristin Tangel

If there's a special event in the area, they sometimes have special flavors. Example- ROFLCon 3 had Nyan Cat ice cream w/ crumbled Pop Tarts , and PAX East had ramen sundaes w/ chili garlic sauce .

Dave Hakkens

Foursquare rated this 9.5, personally I was a bit skeptical when I saw the ice itself. Naturally I choose the chocolate . But I have to admit it was really good! 1-0 for Foursquare

Irina

B3 is great: creamy, not too sweet, with big chunks of brownie ❤️ Maple Walnut didn't impress me that much even though I'm a big maple syrup fan.

Ili Mocha

Love their earl gray ice cream !! But the requirement of needing your Facebook to use their wifi is annoying and since this means that Facebook can see everything I do on the Internet, privacyviolating

Tufts University

Chocolate rosemary , burnt marshmallow & saffron orange khulfee, all found on a given day at Toscanini’s. Read a roundup here: http://now.tufts.edu/articles/dish-we-all-scream-for-ice-cream

Lauren Lachs

Incredible ice cream , but do note that there's a difference between their famous salty caramel and the burnt caramel , and I like the former more (the burnt caramel is worth trying, but quite bitter).

Asuka Tsuji

Had strawberry and chai latte ice cream . Both are good, milky , and mild. You can try 2 flavors!

Chris L

The texture has a good denseness and chew to it. Flavors: butter pecan is a safe bet. The pistachio has a questionable split pea-ish color and weak flavor.

Kathleen

Tons of flavors to choose from. Even a beet flavored one. I can vouch for the earl grey !

Rob Atkinson

Best ice cream in Cambridge. Lots of new clever flavors. Can get a super tiny size if you just want a little taste

Serious Eats

Toto Pops: Orange-coconut—crisp and juicy on the top, rich and creamy on the bottom—velvety green tea , strawberry-rosewater, or ultra-dense, ultra-dark chocolate . Read more

Jeremy Krantz

Their claim to fame is their Hydrox cookie (Oreo ) I've cream flavor. Get it!

Jake Smith

I highly recommend purchasing a flavor that involves a cookie (i.e. Mint Hydrox , Coffee Hydrox , Vienna Finger , etc) or the Creamsicle flavor (if available).

Max

Micro sundae is the perfect amount with great balance of flavors. Home made fudge and whipped cream are excellent.

Fatherly

Consider putting spoonfuls like the Bourbon Vienna Finger , Goat Cheese Honey Walnut , Burnt Caramel , and Malted Milk Ball in your, and your family’s face. Read more

Renaissance Hotels

Unique flavors like caramel , cardamom and saffron really set this place apart . Beware – flavors listed on website may not always be available. For more, follow us on 4sq or at www.renhotels.com. Read more

Jeffrey Zhao

favorite ice cream spot in Cambridge. Try the matcha ice cream !

Carrie Bevis

Make this your go to spot for espresso and creative gelato flavors. Earl Grey , Bourbon Ginger , and Salted Caramel !

Shannon Moran

For sizes larger than a microscoop, you can actually get multiple flavors in one cup! (And you can even get them to put two different flavors in a microscoop if you're nice. ;) )

Mark

That B3 flavor is no joke. But the ovaltine is also fantastic for those who like malty lightly flavored chocolate !

Alana Lynch

B3 is heavenly. If you want something more adventurous, you can rely on their rotating flavours to provide something different but tasty.

penny hayes

have to say i m not a lover of ice cream but you have to get the burnt caramel . it is out of this world!! cant wait to try the other great sounding flavs

Brooke Evans

You may think this is kinda bogus, but the goat cheese brownie is my favorite flavor. And I had to be talked into it the first time. Now I can't stop ordering it!

Hanan Mal

I was never an ice cream fan but I'm coming back here for sure! Salted caramel and earl grey is beyond WOW!

Jordan Morano

Make sure to just grab the basic flavors which tend to be the best. If not, don't be too adventurous. Mint chip is great.

Ronni

Ginger ice cream on point! And so is the peanut butter cookies and cream

Caroline Kay Hwa Tan

Amazing ice creams here. Can't believe it was packed in winter.. wouldn't recommend the affogato though as their espresso is too overpowering.

Sofia Papastamelos

Some of the best ice cream in the greater Boston area! I drooled for the chocolate pudding flavor.

BU Today

Margaret Wang

Love the malted flavors, and ginger molasses is a favorite. Best ice cream in Boston for sure.

Hastin Zylstra

Whenever I'm in Cambridge, I stop here. Ice Cream ia great and rich, so order one size smaller than your wyes want. You can always go back for more!

Mike G

Coffee hydrox , B3, and Earl Grey are the best flavs fo sho.

Tiffany Lopinsky

Raspberry Beet & Ginger Twist for 4th of July weekend ???? ????????

Raj Raj

Get the Bananas Foster ice cream . Be a big time baller and get the Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding from Flour Bakery across the street. Warm the bread pudding and combine the two. #BigTimeBaller

Libby Costello

The world's greatest ice cream in an ever-rotating lineup of flavors. Personal favorites: earl grey , sour cream , goat cheese brownie , malted vanilla , and habanero .

Dana Villmore

Salty caramel was so creamy it was like gelato . Goat cheese brownie was delicious, too. Wonderful ice cream !! :D

Joana Pardal

Great Ice Creams ! A good spot to stay all afternoon reading and enjoying your ice cream ... Great colors at sunset ...

benn

Have someone recommend a more unusual flavor. I chose lime cardamom over Ovaltine , but both were excellent

Diana Brody

Fantastic ice cream with interesting flavors. A little melty, but delicious!

Meghan Moore

Burnt caramel is so rich and flavorful and get anything with the flavor of butter, butter chip , butter almond , etc. It seriously tastes super buttery. Delish!
