Came by honeycomb for a post dinner treat after hearing good things about it - it is a cute shop,…read morebut my biggest gripe was the no sample policy, while I understand the principle, it does make it hard to commit to a flavor. We ended up getting a guava pastry, flavored ice cream split with jasmine fudge, I enjoyed the flavor of the Jasmine ice cream, but wasn't sure how I felt about it paired with the chocolate and with the guava pastry while I enjoyed the guava flavor, it was a little jarring to have waxy tasting pieces of the pastry mixed in with the ice cream. It was a great idea, but textually, maybe did not make the most sense. Would definitely be open to coming back and trying more flavors! Food: 3.5/5 Price: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5 Service: 5/5

You really can't go wrong with them and they are a must try. I love the gelato in them, it really kicks them up a notch. I also got the espresso martini which was very very good too. Definitely a top 5 espresso martini. We also got an affogato and had baileys added to it- this was AMAZING! If you're into dessert drinks this is the best place for them. Sometimes you have to wait in line but once you're seated the service is great. The staff checks in often and is extremely helpful. This is a great date night or hang out spot, it has a very relaxed atmosphere and feels like a cafe. Highly recommend!

Service has a lot to be desired. They're rude and don't focus on customer service…read more We ended up walking out because they just gave attitude from the first words out of their mouth. I had my laptop and was NOT doing any work on it. I just had it with me and I wasn't even planning to do work on it. I was there to get coffee. They came up to me and gave me attitude over it and them not wanting screens. I was like okay but then they walked off and didn't take our orders. They saw us leaving and asked if we wanted anything. We said "No! I said we respected your wishes and never disrespected your policy but instead of taking our orders you gave us shit and walked off." They obviously don't want customers.

I had seen this place on Rednote, and decided to give it a go at the time passing by. Overall, it…read morewas pretty good; the flavors were quite interesting, and the portions were generous. 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.

Toscanini happens to be one of the best ice cream shop in Cambridge and I really enjoy the different flavors they offer. My favorite in particular is B3 (Brown Sugar, Brown Butter, and Brownies) which you can get anywhere else. Sometimes, I choose another flavor that is unique to this shop such as Mango Sticky Rice. The ice cream is milkier than store brought and the flavors are true to the name. The micro is really small and I tend to get atleast a small or large depending on how much scoops I want. If you enjoy Ice Cream cakes or know someone that does, I really recommend preordering one for a birthday. Cute shop! Very happy that they return to their original location with a modern remodeling.

The staff as always is super friendly and continues to provide great service- especially in the north end. Continues to easily be my favorite ice cream spot in north end!

Great service and delicious for an after dinner dessert!…read more We came here around 7/8 on a weekend and the place was still pretty busy, but we managed to get a table in the back. They have some seating, but it easily could be a grab and go spot as well. Space was nice and ambiance felt very warm. Three of us shared a flight and while pricy, it was a good variety and every flavor was surprisingly super well done. My favorite was the Dump Him as I'm a fan of a ton of toppings in one singular flavor. Overall, this was a great ice cream spot and I would love to come back to try more of their flavors!

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.

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.

Always come and buy some chocolate!…read more Milk Chocolate Mouse, Dark Chocolate Mouse: The most classic products. They had a thin string on the back to mimic a tail, which also helps keep your hands clean--a fun and thoughtful design. The cocoa and milk flavors were pure and rich, with a smooth and silky texture. I personally didn't find it too sweet. My friends who tasted it also raved about it. Pavé Glacé: The best of the bunch. Made in the same way as nama chocolate生チョコ--frozen chocolate ganache, but this one had a fine layer of cocoa powder, making it denser and more solid. It melted in mouth and starts to linger, with a more distinct flavor profile from bitter to sweet to fragrant. Sesame Truffe: Two pieces in one serving was perfect. A thin layer of light cocoa powder on the surface, the shell was so crisp that it crumbled in mouth, and the flowing filling with nutty and caramel flavors immediately spills out. However, I didn't taste much sesame; it's closer to hazelnut, the classic chocolate flavor, and a bit on the sweeter side.

They feature lots of Swiss treats and there's something everyone would like. I ordered a milk chocolate hot chocolate and my friend got a dark chocolate. The drinks are rich and super smooth. I always need a little water which luckily they have a pitcher with little cups. We then split two treats, the Engadiner Nusstorte and Cherry Tart. Both were delicious, and they complimented the drinks nicely, especially the Cherry adding that contrasting tartness to a sweet beverage. The gentleman working was also nice he cut the treats in half for us to split. I was shocked how busy it was, at most points there wasn't a free table inside, as people come here to chat and enjoy. It was the perfect place to meet a friend and I'd come back for sure.
