Ice cream is always good even in winter!!! I got the Mississippi Mud (aka Mocha Almond Fudge for my west coast folks) and it was AHHHHHHH-MAZINGGGG! It was $4.25 for the smallest size (which is actually a pretty big serving). Loved every bite of my ice cream. read more

Crescent Ridge - Mississippi Mud!!! YUM! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Very rude! The person at the counter needs to find another job he likes. Spoiling the atmosphere and ambiance of an otherwise beautiful place. read more

Great ice cream and awesome service! On our trip to Boston, we tried almost all the ice cream spots in and around Quincy market, and this is the place! read more

Great ice cream and excellent service. I'd highly recommend. All the flavors I tried were delicious.

The ice cream is great. Bummer about the shitty customer service. I don't appreciate being lectured by a high school student about how to order. read more

Yum! Not much more is required. Crescent ridge dairy has won multiple best ice cream and milk awards at world dairy organization shows. Their products have been featured in best of the Us lists in Food and Wine, National Geographic, and other publications. They have many dairy products for sale, but my review only covers their ice cream. You can't go wrong here on ice cream and the portions are big. The cake batter (vanilla and chocolate ice cream, fudge swirl, and pieces of cake) and cow prints (vanilla, chocolate chips, and peanut butter cups pieces) were phenomenal. The extreme chocolate is very good if you are in mood for dark chocolate. The small cup is deceiving. I may downsize to the kiddie in the future if I don't need two flavors. I highly recommend crescent ridge dairy's location in the Boston Public market if you are in the area looking for some fantastic ice cream. It is definitely the best ice cream in the downtown and north end areas. As a Boston resident, I'd say it's in the top 3 for all of Boston. read more

Alright, listen up my d00ds. Crescent Ridge is not here to PLAY, Yelpiverse !! It was a Wednesday afternoon. 3pm. Hump day vibes at their peak. Overhearing conversations of coworkers' vacation plans for the next week and reflecting on the mundane hum drum of the rest of my foreseeable summer, I let out a sigh. And then, a still small voice in my head whispered two magical words: ice cream. With a gasp, I whispered to the other interns in my office: "Ice cream," as if I was possessed by some sort of spiritual, lactose-filled force. Slowly, I saw their eyes light up against the gloom of a rainy Wednesday. Excited, we murmured amongst ourselves on how to escape our cubicles and take an unnoticed ice cream break. We sacrificed two interns to stay back and help us formulate an alibi if anyone caught wind of our tomfoolery (They were also the responsible ones and actually stayed back to work.) One by one, we lifted ourselves from our rolling black office chairs, nonchalantly strolled out of the office, and squished into the elevator, giggling, "hehe"-ing, and whispering, "I can't believe we're doing this!" Through the glass doors of our downtown office, we inhaled deeply: freedom. Our victory was short-lived, as our excitement quickly faded at the sight of grey skies and sprinkling rain. But we had already begun our journey! We could not turn back, not even for the umbrellas we had brought that morning in fear of getting caught! And thus, we trekked forward, sharing one hot pink umbrella for the 9 of us. Enduring frizzy hair, dirty eyeglasses, and humid air, we finally reached our safe haven: the Boston Public Market. We shot straight for our destination: Crescent Ridge. Greeted by tubs of colorful flavors and a sweet sweet woman who helped us fulfill our Wednesday afternoon cravings, I eventually ordered a kiddie cup of the black raspberry chocolate chip and the strawberry flavor. Distracted by my co-conspirators, I blindly paid for my ice cream. Once I turned back around, I let out a gasp. What I expected of this afternoon was a sneaky little cup of ice cream, geographically, like...a smol hill. Instead, I encountered a MOUNTAIN. The amount of ice cream I received was grander than most large sizes from other vendors! Like...she was THIQQQQQQ^10. What child can actually consume all of this "kiddie cup", I know not. But then again, the U.S. faces an abysmal situation in regards to incidence and prevalence rates of obesity and diabetes (+ comorbidities) overall, including adolescents. (Source: my lifetime. I...am a bad public health professional, I apologize.) My friendos and I luckily found a table to loiter around, we dug right in. Relishing in the prominent and authentic black raspberry flavor, juxtaposed to the variety of texture provided by the chocolate chips, the corners of my lips turned up in pure delight. But five minutes in, we encountered a turn of events. The long and arduous journey to escape from the office continued to throw obstacles our way. Heavy breathing, sighs of despair, and mentions of, "I really can't do this anymore," we all found ourselves struggling to finish. In the end, we relented. Defeated. With the whole scoop of strawberry left, I raised my hands and waved my white flag in surrender. The ice cream was just too dang sweet, and I just could not do it. In shame, we threw away the unfinished lumps of once-frozen sugar and thus wrapped up our time in the Boston Public Market, trekking back to the office, heads hanging low, an air of "unfinished business" hanging over our heads. Riding back up the steel grey elevators, we recounted our shenanigans. We snuck back into our cubicles, unnoticed. WHEW. Safe. 'Twas good while it lasted. Do not fear, this will not be the end of our internship escapades! In all seriousness: 4 stars given the great customer service and portion sizes. Not the BEST ice cream I've ever had, but did the job, clearly...even if we didnt! (oops) read more

Crescent Ridge - Ice cream? Or doo-doo? You decide.... - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The man behind the counter was very helpful and put a lot of care into our sundaes. He asked me which flavor I wanted on the bottom-- no one has ever asked before. He also pointed out where there was an area with much more available seating. I got a hot fudge sundae with cookie n cream and s'mores, and my husband got one with cookies n cream and mint cookies n cream. They seemed huge but magically they both disappeared. read more

I came here last year and it was quite good so I brought a friend from out of town here on a very hot Saturday (9/9) and we got there at 2:57pm. I was looking at the flavors and the only woman behind the counter said "I'm still on lunch break" and pointed to the sign that said "Back in 30 mins". So I asked her, what time she'd be back. She said 3:10. I decided to wait as I knew it was worth it, even though we had places to go. We, along with others, waited until 3:22, when I gave up. How do you not have at least one person on at all times on a busy hot Saturday? Waste of my time. read more

If you are in The Boston Public Market, you absolutely must get Crescent Ridge ice cream. The ice cream is delicious!! I tried extreme chocolate- it is soooo chocolatety, all chocolate lovers will go crazy for this. The cookie dough was amazing as well. They ran out of certain flavors in the afternoon so you better go early! read more

It's a little pricey, but oh-so-good! I had the Extreme Chocolate and enjoyed it so much we went back a day later for another dip. I tried the Mocha Chip and the Lemon Sorbet, but let's face it - they aren't Extreme Chocolate. The servers were friendly and efficient and kept things moving well. read more

The Graham central station is bombtastic!! I had the pumpkin as well which tastes EXACTLY like pumpkin pie, so give it a shot of that's what you like. But that Graham central station tho..... mmmm read more

Crescent Ridge - The Graham central station is the bombiest flavor ever!@ - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This is an outstanding little ice cream shop, located among Boston's finest local farmers and artisans. We were tempted by the sorbets and ended up with a ginger ice cream, which helped us get through the 100 degree heat! The creaminess was extremely nice, but both my boyfriend and I concur: we wish it was slightly less sweet with more ginger tang! Still a very great stop on our trip down the Freedom Trail. read more

Came here to get something for an ailing person Sign at a random time sayin ON a break, back in 15! I waited 15 no return. I travelled out of way to Boston public mArket to get something- you are a business Updating because this hasn't happened since and i loved the milk and ice cream read more

We stopped here for dessert before dinner last night. The guy working was so nice and helpful! We both got the smallest size and it was still pretty big! The ice cream was so yummy. I got the chocolate chip cookie dough and my friend got the moose tracks. Would recommend both flavors!! read more

Located inside Boston Public Market is Crescent Ridge, an ice cream shop or table within the market. With many flavors to try and various siZes, I ordered the kiddie size for $4.75 I believe! I tried the watermelon sorbet, i think because it was a sorbet it was melting a little easier than ice cream. Overall not bad! read more

Great ice cream and even better customer service!!!! I don't know his name but the gentleman working the counter was very friendly, patient, and attentive. 10/10 Recommend. read more

Really creamy ice cream! Super generous scoops-I usually get a two scoop cone in other shops, but a tiny tot ( their smallest) was as big!. I adore chocolate and their Extreme Chocolate was wonderfully intense! If you are a chocoholic this flavor is for you. Worth every dollar you pay! read more

Best ice cream in Boston! I day dream about the mocha chip. The customer service isn't amazing and I'm not a fan of the communal tables in the market but none of that matters because the ice cream is fantastic :P read more

Delicious ice cream and huge portion sizes! We got two "tiny tot" or something like that sizes and it was a scoop and a half! They aren't skimpy and the ice cream is flavorful and super creamy! Great ice cream on National Ice Cream Day!! read more

I LOVE IT. Thank you very much for moving into BPM a block from my office. This is forever my favorite afternoon pick-me-up. Thankfully the market is quite toasty and warm in the winter so you can easily eat this delicious stuff all year round. My absolute favorite without a doubt is the Graham Central Station. It's jam-packed with crunchy chunks of graham cracker and perfectly swirled into a rich and decadent vanilla base. The Coconut Almond bar one is also fantastic. It's overloaded in the best way with coconut, has hard ribbons of chocolate running through it almost like magic shell but even better and crisp & crunchy almonds that add a nice slightly salty finish. The English Toffee Crunch though robust in toffee flavor was a bit grainy for me but that may just be based on personal preference. Can't wait to try their other flavors. ALSO, they have a loyalty card, make sure you grab one! read more

This is a very nice icecream shop. You will got a very big size of scoop in the small price. The taste is really good too.

The ice cream is so good! The frappes are my favorite and the best value. They are blended super thick, so it's mostly ice cream with just a little milk, and I'm pretty sure you actually get more ice cream than in the comparably-priced dish! Employees are generous and patient with flavor sampling, but please be considerate if there's a line behind you! read more

Ice cream can be enjoyed any time of the year but I am particular to having this sweet treat in the winter due to the whole drip factor. Crescent Ridge Dairy of Sharon has been know for a very long time for some of the best ice cream in New England & people flock to its Sharon, MA farm but now all city dwellers are in luck that they decided to land at the BPM. We are treated to a very diverse selection of flavors from the classic like strawberry & vanilla to salty pretzel. I usually sneak out to grab a treat in the afternoons & get my sugar fix. The portions are humongous to say the least. A two scooped medium cake cone is usually as big as my face. Plus they allow for a mix & match of flavors that is much appriciated. The staff are extremely friendly & never shy away from offering a free tasting spoon for any flavor. Besides the great ice cream, Cresent Ridge is also know for their great milk which is also sold here & is still delivered door to door. Offered in clear glass bottles & extremely fresh. I would recommend grabbing a bottle or two & I think you will notice the difference. Truly takes you back to another time. This place is another prime example of the Boston Public Market's dedication to showcasing great hyper local products & producers. Next time you are in the area make sure you have some room for one of their sweet creations. Enjoy & keep the screaming to a minimum please. read more

Kiddie is their 2nd smallest size of one generous scoop but they allow you to get two different flavors which is a plus! I got a mix of cookies and cream and mocha chocolate chip. Both had plenty of mix ins and my friend a mix of pistachio and coconut almond bar ...the coconut almond bar was outstanding. Kiddie is about $5.25 which is pricey but the quality justifies the price. Plus...they don't up charge for a sugar cone on top of a cup. read more

Ice cream was good, not great. Service was horrendous. Woman didn't greet us or say anything to us the entire time. Would never come back due to the unfriendliness. read more

As someone easily amused and impressed, the s'mores ice cream here brought tears to my eyes and an experience I'll never forget. I could eat a whole quart of this and don't tempt me I definitely will. This is the best ice cream I've ever had on a medium hot day, and really treat yourself this time. Get it! read more

my bf and i went for a small one to try but i noticed that everybody there was getting the biggest cup or cone . which is of great value！！they must be loyal weekly customersso we got another big one extremely underestimated passion for ice cream. super creamy. favorite flavor：low sugar coffee&vanilla read more

A super large amount of ice cream :) I'm in love with rum raisin :) You have to try :) read more

Really good ice cream, the servings are huge! I got cookie dough and graham cracker. I'm not sure how often they swap out flavors but they have a ton of different options. Definitely the best ice cream in the area! read more

Love the frappes here, perfectly thick and with plenty of ice cream. They have a nice selection of ice creams but more of the classics than odd new flavor combinations. In terms of price you get more ice cream for the price of a small frappe than the similarly priced cup size. Overall good stop for ice cream if in the Public Market. read more

Great ice cream... servings are huge. Extrem Chocolate was amazing. Kiddie is still a lot of ice cream!

Visited here after hearing a friend recount a childhood story about going to the original location out in the 'burbs. A wide variety of flavors to choose from and some cream-free options. The Graham Central Station (I'm a sucker for good wordplay...) was a solid offering. read more

I had the Graham Central Station and Black Raspberry ice cream flavors. Absolutely delicious and so unique! The waffle cone was fresh too!

Their ice cream is okay. Nothing to brag about. JP Licks or Richardson's Ice Cream which is now offered in many places is much better. Try a scoop of Richardson's ice cream at the Dairy Freeze in Quincy --- much better ice cream than Crescent Ridge. read more

Amazing ice cream and served with a smile!! Really enjoyed it but be prepared for a lot of ice cream even in the kiddie size!

Their coconut, almond chocolate chip ice cream is amazing! Decent portion for what you pay.

Located inside Boston public market, this place is a gem. A friend of mine has been suggesting this place for months now and I finally went. One of the best ice cream places I've ever had. I had the graham central station and the mint Oreo. Both incredible. Prices are reasonable as well. read more
