Great service! We always get our gas for the grill filled here. Note the correct number for this business is 617-527-8250 (as I came in the manager was explaining to Google that the posted number on yelp is incorrect. read more

A great service, and as far as getting the job done -- and fast! -- I would give five stars. The only reason I'm rating three stars is that today, when I visited the office, the person inside had his mask around his chin, rather than covering his nose and mouth. Now, this may well be a one time slip, and no basis for generalizations. I would go back and give them another shot, for sure, in the hopes that this is an isolated incident. For the health and safety of the workers, their families and so many others with whom they interact, this business makes it clear that customers are to wear a mask to enter. I would love for customers, our families, and those with whom we interact -- like the immunocompromised patients whose lives my decisions impact -- to trust that our health and safety are also considered by this business's employees. Right now, we need to be human with one another. Each of us is more than a vector. And yet we also need to look out for one another. When I go back and see that this was indeed a one time incident I will gladly change this review and give the five stars based on a job well done. read more

You know when you throw a house jam and you've got everything planned: the theme (Furry Frenzy!), the food (CATfish poboys, hot DOGs and MONKEY bread), the beverages (a specialty cocktail called Anonymous Intercourse with Costumed Strangers) and the guest list (private). Then someone calls and asks, "Need anything?" It dawns on you: "Ice!" It's always the thing you need, and nobody gets it to you faster and cheaper than these guys. Snow for shave ice? They have it. 30lb bags in a collapsible corrugated cardboard cooler? Sure. Last minute ice luge? ... I said, "Last minute ice luge?" ... YES! For small scale events, whatever - grab a bag from whatever's close. But if you're swinging a heavy guest list, call them up and set your clock to their delivery estimate. Unlike Comcast, sketchy pizza and your kid's due date, they are always on time. read more

This is a great local shop that does what it does well. They also have special discounts for patients that need ice or dry ice regularly (e.g., for chemotherapy). I truly appreciate that they do more than just selling stuff and help out people in need. read more

Great place for buying regular and specialty ice. They also have propane gas tanks and refills. It was opened on Memorial Day and they saved our grilling party. read more

Perhaps you know, maybe you don't...but for a living, I plan parties. Big ones. Fun ones. Filled with booze. And what keeps booze cold? ICE Ice for 400 people, ice for 600 people....ice that keeps on coming even when you didn't order enough! That's right. I, um, miscounted the number of the people times the number of cocktails...times, um....well that's a lot of math and there was a ton of Canton, Svedka, Maker's, Ice Wine, Beer and gosh knows how many people! Mid-party, Mojito in hand, a very calm call was placed to Brookline Ice and within a half hour, we were restocked, reloaded and read to roll. And no one was the wiser. Until now. I pledge my eternal event-planner allegiance to Brookline Ice. read more

Four stars for the huge money-saving bags of ice, 5th for the availability of pre-cut booze luges and dry ice. I walked in here, bought a luge, (2) 30 lb bags of ice for our kegs, and a keg crate/barrel, all for around $85 (luge costs about $68 of that). Two of my gay brethren were in line ahead of me buying 100 lbs of dry ice. I asked if they were throwing a rager, and they said, no it'd just be them tonight. Interesting. All I could imagine was their fab apartment with several misting/smoking buckets placed strategically throughout. I was considering dry ice, but I didn't want to have to call the ambulance when some donkey inevitably gets 4th degree burns or have to clean up various objects that were frozen and subsequently shattered. We had also considered getting an ice sculpture of our roommate Nick. He subscribes to Mens Health and looks in the mirror a lot, so it would have been funny to be able to pour booze into his head and have people drinking it out of his wang. But this would have cost probably $500. So, get yerself a luge, it's quite a spectacle to watch adults dump mixed shots down a slope of ice using a small saucepan. Luckily I was pre-occupied with spinning records, keeping the peace, and dancin with mah lady, so was able to avoid the pain of ripping too many shots. Get one for your next box social. Especially if your crib has a roofdeck and/or porch. Warm weather optional. read more

5 stars, im biased, they are the best, what can i say. so these peeps can do it all, you need mesquite for the smoker, done, lump coal, done, ice luge, done, ice carvings, double done, ice punch bowl, yup you guessed it people. here is another tip, if you want anything done for the holidays, order that now, they are off the chain this time of year. read more

Hi Adrianna, Thank you very much to you and your team. Working with you was a pleasurable experience. You were easy to get a hold of, collaborative, transparent, timely and friendly. The delivery set up was seamless. You provided all of the supplies to keep our sculpture up and running for the night, while keeping it looking good. Micheal was early and friendly and did a great job setting up! You and your team gave a us a beautiful sculpture, which was a hit at the event. Overall, Bravo! Thank you again :) Emily read more

This place is the stuff of legends. When I needed an ice luge for a 65 person company party they came through for me. 40 bucks for the luge and 25 dollars for the "kit". I would not suggest the kit if it is just you and some friends in someones backyard but it is a necessity indoors or at a work event. The guys on the loading dock were nice enough to add 5 pounds of dry ice to the luge to help keep it frozen for the two hours it sat in our office before the party. If I had to do it again I would have picked up the luge only moments before. The ice luge was the hit of the party and was everyone's favorite thing to do. read more

ICE-ICE-BABY! *Queue- theme song* Alright stop, collaborate and listen, Brookline Ice is back ........OK, now that I got this song stuck in your head for the next 24hrs, I wont be the only one!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All the crazy kids and party people know this is the place to come for supplies to have a bitchin' rager of a party. Custom sculpture needed with a bottle holder or luge built in? Sure, they make em! and ICE... Holy good god and everything that is holy; Don't buy the 5lbs of I've from Susie's corner store, no way! These guys do it right with 30lb bags perfectly matched with the right amount of ice to ice your 1/2 barrel keg of brew ha. And at perfectly priced at $6! Wanna get fancy? How about the round ice ballz for sipping drinks? They have those too!!! Because- who doesn't like drinking expensive booze with amaze balls spheres of ice in your glass??? My experience; I have used Brookline countless times and recently for a party that was a huge hit. When I want to stick out in a great way, I ONLY use Brookline. The drive from NH is worth the trip each and every time. Recommendation: Call and ask for Adrianna Signore, it's a family business and she def wants to see your shin dig a huge success. read more

I had a really positive experience here when I was buying dry ice on 10/22/17. The staff working there were welcoming and professional; and within 5 minutes of walking in the door I was walking back out with a great deal on dry ice for my science students! The kids had SO much fun using the dry ice for volcanoes, spooky pumpkins, and spooky fun! read more

Brookline Ice & Coal - Party Supplies Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

If you plan on using them for heating oil, look elsewhere. Attention Massachusetts consumer protection agency, this company is the KING of the bait and switch. Get quoted one price and pay a higher price without being told. I do plan on submitting a letter to them to notify them of this practice, completely unacceptable. Their customer service staff is incredibly rude and unprofessional and love to try to guilt you and make you feel like you should be honored to be their customer. Guess what, plenty of players in town and they can crush you like a ant. I was scolded by their customer service, my house was left a oily mess, and I was overcharged. STAY AWAY at all costs. read more

The ice luge was so much better than I could have expected! Best money I spent on the wedding for sure! Thank you!!! read more

Brookline Ice & Coal - Best money spent for the wedding! - Party Supplies Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

See all

They have a great selection of stuff that I need for my smoker and BBQ grill. I just got 2 bags of charcoal, some smoking wood-chips and a propane fill up. That's one stop shopping for all of my smoking and grilling goodies. The propane fill-ups are usually what brings me in. They are one of the only places (in the metro Boston area) that actually fills the tanks instead of exchanging them. And they'll fill them up until 11pm on Saturday and 6pm Sundays (I swear I've been there later) which shamefully, I've needed a couple times. Get a second tank and keep it filled. It's just much easier. I've also bought bundles of firewood from them in the colder months when my woodpile was depleted. No, it's not the most cost-efficient way to buy firewood but it beats buying Duraflame "logs," at 7-11. I've never bought any ice from them other than an ice-luge for a New Year's party which was the hit of the event. I understand they have every variety of frozen water you can imagine but I've just never needed that much of it at any time to make it worth going there. So if you want to heat it up or cool it down, they are the people to see. read more

Customer service here is A+. We needed to ship important frozen items cross-country and they answered all of our questions and even helped us pack the package. read more

The best place to get ice for any type of event especially if you are near the Brookline, JP, and Mission Hill area. My family has been buying ice from here since the 1980s. Great prices and great customer service! My #1 spot whenever I need ice. Drive up, grab a few bags of ice, and on my way---always in and out within 5-10 minutes. Thank you Brookline Ice! read more

My one stop shopping for dry ice, styrofoam cooler, and the way to get the food down to NYC. Oh, I use them to get ice cream from Boston to all my relatives that crave our great local desserts. It never fails to be a hit. Some portion of a block of dry ice, and they have a variety of cooler sizes to make it all work. read more

A BIG thanks to Mark and his team for helping us out with a BBQ for 750 ppl. I called with less then 24 hour notice and was guaranteed I would have what I needed from my barbecue . I got exactly that!! I would highly recommend using them for any ice needs . read more

Unfortunately I had an unpleasant experience with Brookline Ice. I ordered ice for an event which I proceeded to pay with cc over the phone; however, instead of running my card as discussed they demanded cash at the account and got me kicked out. The receptionist was very rude and not helpful at all. I'd recommend going somewhere else. read more

when i felt myself a PitMaster every spring i'd make a trip to Brookline Ice and Coal for 20 bags or lump charcoal and 200#'s of various chunk hardwood and then be all set for the entire summer. well, almost. the point is that they always had everything i needed and would get me in and out of the loading dock in very short order. read more

I like to smoke my own meats and this is a great place for wood chips. Brookline Ice sells a wide variety of woods like cherry, hickory, apple, oak, mesquite and more. Unlike supermarket wood chips, these chips only need an hour soaking and have more flavor in them. read more

Buyer beware! The delivery driver was over 45 minutes late to our event. They also added a hidden $10 delivery fee to our order without disclosing it. They are also extremely rude on the phone. Horrid customer service and bad business practices. read more

If you want to be told that you "weren't listening" to the price of a product and clearly being told "you are wrong" when in all reality it is the employees mistake and not yours, then by all means go here. Running a business at least own up to your employee mistake. read more

Yesterday, a friend of mine was having a cookout. She forgot to check the gas and of course, she was out. At 6:05 p.m, she called Brookline Ice & Coal, who had closed at 5:00 p.m. They answered the telephone and told her to come on down. Wow, if that isn't customer service, I don't know what is. Thanks Brookline Ice & Coal for making our 4th of July cook out happen! read more

God I love this place!!!! Lisa, the girl that answers the phone is the nicest person ever first of all. This company is just top notch-all the services that they offer are the best. They really took care of us at a time of need, and they deserve all the business they can get-great business!!!!!!!! read more

We had a truly incredible experience with Brookline Ice. Everything from the ordering, payment, delivery, and removal was so amazingly easy and stress free. Since the process of ordering was so simple, and the price was so reasonable, we assumed that the ice sculpture for our wedding would be nice, but had no idea that it would be as gorgeous, HUGE, and impressive as it was. Needless to say, it was such a hit, and it was probably the easiest part of the entire wedding. I would highly recommend Brookline Ice for a beautiful ice sculpture to add to any occasion! read more

Brookline Ice refrigerated trailer rental is unreliable. They promised a delivery on Friday, May 29, only to inform us Thursday morning that our trailer was broken and couldn't be fixed in time. They recommended two other businesses, neither of which could help. No, Brookline Ice, YOU promised the trailer, and YOU find another one. Suppose that after promising payment, we informed you that our account was broken? We won't bore the reader with the details of all the extra trouble and expense this caused, but the last fallout has finally landed in our laps, and the whole experience has goaded us into taking the trouble to write this review. "The whole experience" involves other incidents as well. A trailer that they delivered on Friday, December 19 didn't cool. Fortunately, the weather was cold enough that the trailer was useful as an outside secure storage, for which they charged us full price. We have found a better vendor for subsequent events, so we are done with Brookline Ice. read more
