A niche ice cream shop in Harvard Square. Located in a relatively quiet alley, it's not crowded,…read morebut the ice cream is excellent. Charles River Crunch: Signature flavor. 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.

Oh my goodness. This ice cream is delicious. I am a sucker for homemade ice cream. This one just…read moregot added to my favorite list! They will give u small samples to try if u ask. We did the coffee and peppermint. Both were great. Then I saw they have home made hot fudge and had to get that on the side. Ohhh myyyy, I don't even have words to describe how amazing it was!

They make their cheesecake and mochi in stores so it's worth the additional fee for toppings!! The lines do get long but it moves quickly. Waited over 20 minutes. The shop is quite tiny but the staff is efficient and are steady. No seat options inside but they do have stools outside in a corner if you wanted to sit and catch up with friends.

BerryLine is unfortunately one of my favorite dessert places and they hate to see me coming…read more This was a frequent sweet treat spot between for me and my college friends. However, social media has really blown this place up in the last few years! My order is really the same every time, just a matter if I want to get a micro or a small. It is always the original tart flavor, with mochi (either the original flavor or the special flavor they have that week), cheesecake bites, and fruit - usually strawberry and/or mango. It hits every single time. Well sometimes the fruit may have a bit of frostbite, the froyo is still the star of the show. Service is quick and efficient, I mean with those lines they really have to. However, when it is your turn, the staff to take their time to let you sample the different flavors, which I really appreciate. Sometimes they have seasonal flavors like lychee or nutella which I love to sample at times - sometimes I even get an original tart and lychee swirl.

You have kind of have to be intentional about how to find it but fortunately the flavors make up for it. I tried their new banana milk mochi ice cream and I thought it was really fun and refreshing. It's always great to try out non-standard flavors. They fortunately let you try samples so I definitely recommend trying some out before committing to a scoop or two. We got a pipet with matcha, which was a really fun part of the experience, but sadly the matcha flavor didn't really mix that well with the banana milk I think. It was maybe a little too strong and bitter but fortunately you don't have to use it if you don't want to lol. There was also a pretty cute corner that was set up so you can take a picture of your mochi scoop with an aesthetic background. I thought it was so funny that they knew people love taking pictures of their food so they set up a spot meant for it and try to help you elevate your photos. Overall I think I would come here again and try their other flavors.

I didn't think I was going to have time to stop in, until I noticed people heading there after a concert I attended. I obviously followed, despite it being 11:55pm and they close at midnight. I got 2 scoops in a bowl, 1 of the cherry with dark chocolate chunks and 1 of the coffee affogatto. Both were super good and I can confirm I would buy pints of both. The 2 scoops in a bowl came to around $10. They had a fridge with a ton of pints for $14. Super cute shop, friendly staff and yummy ice cream. Oh and they had as many vegan flavors as they did dairy, which is cool.

Morroco Mint Tea Sorbet: The first bite was a bit strange, but it got better and better with each bite... The mint was cool but not overpowering, with a subtle tea fragrance, perfect for summer.

The Dough Club sells some yummy mochi donuts and drinks! I did enjoy their strawberry cheesecake donut. It had a light, refreshing strawberry taste. Not too sweet. The dalgona coffee flavor is too light - you definitely taste way more milk than dalgona.

Very little seating inside.

So, this is a cozy little spot my bestie introduced me to from which one can grab a sweet treat or…read moretwo (or several). It sits comfortably on the corner of JFK and Winthrop Street, right in the midst of Harvard Square. Which figures because this place is bougie as hell! Just the same, we're eternally grateful to have met its acquaintance. Because this place is the real deal when it comes to macarons. Ya know how some grocery stores sell macarons in a box or something? Yeah, those are basically the generic version compared to the ones sold here. These ones are on another level entirely! We got the variety pack, of course. And so far, my top two personal favorite flavors are the Tiramisú and Chocolate Amorino. The experience tasting these is impossible to describe in words worthy enough to dignify. Let's just say....it's enough to ascend your consciousness into low orbit. The process of ordering is simple enough or strangely foreign (no pun intended), depending on if you're a Zoomer or a Boomer, respectively. They use kiosks. Exclusively. It's a little weird, because there is what appears to be a main register with people standing behind it. Only their main task is to prepare your order and call out your name once it's ready. This is better, IMHO because talking to people is hard (sometimes). I dunno what it is. But most times, it seems easier to get the details of an order right when it's neatly selected and typed out on a screen. Besides, tap-to-pay is where it's at. Oh, and for those of you who are wondering what Gelato is, it's a specific type of Italian ice cream. Without getting into the exact percentages of the various lactose components it's made of, that's the simplest way I can explain it. *Obligatory disclaimer: I am not an ice creamologist. I think this is gonna be our dessert spot whenever we venture back to Cambridge. And next time, I am SO getting my own 12 pack of macarons with my two favorite flavors in it. No doubt about it, Amorino Gelato is worth 5 creamy Tiramisú macarons transcending my cortex beyond the stratosphere out of 5.

Really interesting flavors. They make everything in the house use local/regional ingredients…read more Unfortunately, we missed out on the cool flavors. But we tried the frozen yogurt, strawberry cheesecake, which was a standout, salted caramel with good crunch, honey lavender (hard to taste lavender), port cherry. Will be back for sure

No free samples. You can complain about a flavor if you don't like it (once ordered and paid) and…read moreget it replaced, but they throw the original all away. This is their policy and it's fine, just seems wasteful. This also makes it hard to try the unique flavors :( I wouldn't have had an issue (since it's their own policy) but the replacement portion was way smaller. I'm not sure if the staff was having a bad day or not, but it seemed like asking for a replacement flavor was purposefully made uncomfortable to deter you from asking? (P.S. Paying $6 for very little portions plus not having samples of flavors seems counterintuitive.) Also, Horchata is a rice based drink (with its main liquid being milk, water is also added though), so how can that be a vegan option? If they were able to actually have it taste like Horchata (with or without milk) that would've been fine, but it tasted like water + cinnamon. This was the flavor that brought me to this place so I was disappointed :( Overall, I might come back for the Cold Brew and Brown Sugar Vanilla flavors when I want a sweet treat (there are other sweet places for a better price and experience). But the fact that I ended up liking two of the most basic flavors out of the whole menu disappoints me :/

Everyone is so kind, great music, all around an amazing vibe. Their ice cream is one of a kind. If you are with a couple of friends, I think the best bang for your buck and the best way to sample a bunch of flavors is to get a flight. It comes in a cute egg carton and it's a great way to share. I love their banana pudding and strawberry rhubarb. They have some dairy-free and sorbet options too. Outside of their ice cream, they have some pastries that look delicious as well as coffee and matcha. Would love to come back over and over again to try different seasonal flavors and fill up my punch card.
