    Not a big surprise that Ben & Jerry's gets a five star rating! Obviously their ice cream is awesome location is small and you will likely have to wait in a line. This location is perfect for a quick treat while shopping.

    Walking around and checking out places in the Faneuil Hall Marketplace on a hot day made my family and I crave some ice cream, we saw there was a Ben & Jerry's here and decided to get some shakes. Expect long lines, and it's a small place so people get a little testy. The workers each concentrate on doing one shake at a time, so each family member has a different staff person make their shake. Some staff were friendly, others not so much. I got a half baked milk shake... I love half baked ice cream so... bottoms up. The shake was delicious. Still long wait in line, long wait for shake, staff can be a little more personable.

    A came in and got the strawberry. I got the kiddy size and it was quite large for a reasonable price. Ben and Jerry's is what I know and expect from ice cream. The strawberry was quite good but nothing that was mind blowing!

    Ok. I feel like there's a serious stigma about 'chain' ice cream stores like Ben & Jerry's. Like bruh, why can't I just pull into Target and pickup a few pints of this stuff? Why pay $6 for 'scooped' ice cream on a cone when I can get a pint of it for the same price? Well I use to think that way. Until on rainy, cold day I pulled into Ben & Jerry's after some serious ice cream cravings. Ok - it might be a tad expensive, but the taste and experience is undeniable. The servers where really nice as they legit let me try 6 different flavors before I actually ordered. I ended up getting a mix of mint choco chip and smores. The mint choco chip was just as I expected - pure OG flavors that bring me back to my childhood. But the smores was the real banger - it had a rich buttery flavor the reminded me of the B3 at Toscanini's. That went down real smooth. In short - would I come here again? **** yes. I think too often places like Ben & Jerry's are under appreciated. Do your self a favor and drop by if you're in the area and have some sugar munchies.

    Got the strawberry and mint chip. I would give the strawberry 4 stars because I really liked the pieces of strawberry inside the ice cream. The mint chip was below average for sure (2 stars). The pieces of chocolate were overwhelming and there wasn't really a mint flavour. I think it was almost $7 for two scoops which is a little expensive.

    Call it a tourist trap if you want, but I loved Mike's Pastry! I visited on a Friday afternoon, and…read morewas surprised it wasn't super full. There was a line, but it moved quickly - we waited about 10 minutes total. We tried several things: pistachio, limoncello, pecan caramel cannoli and the pecan caramel cheesecake. I didn't even think I liked cannoli at all based on a previous experience, but WOW - these changed my perspective. They were sweet without being overwhelming. The cheesecake was delicious as well. Heads up, as other reviews have mentioned, it's cash only. Luckily, my mom is old school and always carries cash with her. I wish I lived in Boston - I'd love to come back to try their other offerings.

    Maybe this place is just a tourist trap, but I dropped by because I heard such great things about…read moreit. I guess I lucked out because when I went (Wednesday, around 3 PM), there was virtually no line. I heard it can get super busy, so beware. This place is cash only, and the service is really straight-to-the-point. I guess they just want people in and out quickly. There's not really anywhere you can sit, so definitely just get what you want and go. The bakery itself is kept very simple and minimal. Sweets are displayed behind the glass, and there are plenty of signs along the wall that display what they have to offer. There were a lot of different goodies, but I noticed that people really only ordered the cannolis. I got a singular chocolate chip cannoli, and I think it really threw the person helping me off that I only got one to try. Pastries are packaged in a nice blue box and securely tied with a long string. The cannoli itself tasted pretty nice, but I wish there were more chocolate chips other than the ones that coated the areas of visible filling. I liked that the shell was crunchy and flaky. I can't say much because this was my first time having a cannoli, so I have no point of comparison. Not sure if I can eat a lot of it in one sitting.

    My friend and I were on the hunt for a good ice cream spot that gave the "farm fresh ice cream"…read morevibe and we came across Dairy Freeze during our search. The ice cream itself was sooo good. I got my usual: soft serve twist with rainbow sprinkles in a waffle cone. The cone was so fresh and flavorful, the rainbow sprinkles also tested fresh (I love when the sprinkles have their own distinct taste. That's how you know they're fresh), and the soft serve was cold and creamy. The dream. My friend got the cookie dough hard ice cream in a waffle cone and she really liked it too. The ordering/waiting lines were wild. Idk if it was an off-night when we went, but there were at least 15 people standing around waiting for their ice cream while we were in line ordering. Then it came our time to wait and it took 12 minutes just to get these 2 cones out. The kitchen was closed by the time we were there too, so no one was waiting on food. We were all waiting on an ice cream cone. I feel for them - it was a hectic summer night and everyone wants good ice cream - but I honestly hadn't seen anything quite like this before!

    This was my dad's go-to ice cream place growing up, so we had to visit when we were in the area. My…read moredad says they are known for their soft serve ice cream, but I went with their hard serve cookie dough. The hard serve ice cream is from Richardson's. If I am ever back in the area, I definitely would get the soft serve staple. Service was friendly and fast. The parking lot is not ideal with only a few spots but customers were in and out and there is always street parking. Support local and come on out!
