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.

There aren't really any classic ice cream places in Fenway, they are all "unconventional" (vegan,…read morefruit style, matcha ice cream) in some way, and this is one of them. If you want an ice cream treat with a unique twist, this can be a solid option. The staff here is super friendly and it's objectively a cool concept, but honestly it didn't appeal to ME (subjective). I am a classic ice cream enthusiast through and through. They do New Zealand style fruit twist ice cream, where you pick a flavor and blend in a fruit of your choice. I chose chocolate ice cream as my base and blended in raspberry. I expected a rich, dark chocolate raspberry flavor (think chocolate bar), but I was pretty disappointed. The ice cream itself had such a light flavor, I barely felt the chocolate. The fruit was prevalent, but my gf got hers with strawberry and I couldn't taste much of a difference. Additionally, I mixed in graham cracker and added chocolate sauce. The graham cracker was blended so thin like sand, I couldn't taste it at all. What a disappointment, and they charged extra for it. I paid $20 for two small ice cream cups :/

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.

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!

B3: One of their signature flavors, named for its blend of brown butter, brown sugar, and brownie. The ice cream was smooth and creamy, with the sweetness of the brown sugar and the nutty aroma of the brown butter blending harmoniously. Large chunks of brownie are interspersed throughout, their firm texture and slightly bitter dark chocolate contrasting beautifully with the ice cream, creating a layered effect. Deserving of the signature flavor! Earl Grey: Another signature flavor, but after tasting it for a while, I couldn't observe any tea flavor. I even wondered if the server had given me the wrong one The color didn't look like Earl Grey tea either. However, judging from the reviews, it probably does look like this. The milky flavor, though, was very rich. Burnt Caramel: It was my first time seeing "burnt caramel," which is essentially sugar caramelized to a higher temperature than caramel, resulting in a darker color and a richer, more intense bitterness. While I love bitterness, I felt it was a bit too much. Most importantly, the ice cream was noticeably stickier than the others, and the plastic scoop was too soft, making it difficult to scoop. Bourbon Street: Quite similar with B3, both using brown sugar and browned butter. However, the bourbon and praline made the overall flavor sweeter, lighter, and more in line with the classic creamy taste of ice cream. In other words, it was not as distinctive as the B3.

Rich and smooth like peanut butter, with a pure and intense bittersweet flavor from the dark chocolate, and crunchy almond toffee bits. The first few bites were delicious, but it got a bit cloying after a while, and frankly, it did not look very appetizing... Coconut: American coconut ice cream was as satisfying as ever. A light and natural sweetness. Butter Crunch: Not too sweet, with a subtle buttery aroma. Colombian Fudge Avalanche: Dark chocolate and Colombian coffee, rich, full-bodied, and with layers of flavor. Chocolate Orgy: Dark chocolate ice cream with dark chocolate chips. Frozen on the firmer side, the chocolate chips are quite hard; I didn't like the texture. The shop is small, with two bar stools inside and a table and two chairs outside. It's basically only for takeout.
