I have a gluten intolerance, and I was so grateful that they clean the machine to prevent cross-contamination - even with how busy they were. It's no surprise that there's a line but well worth the wait! Mango ice cream was so good. Closest thing to soft serve that I can get near me read more

Far out is so good!! I always stop in at their Time Out Market location. It's a little pricey, but it's one of my favorite ice cream places in the area. I always get served really quickly and I never feel skimped on toppings or flavor. Quick service and great options. Great spot for a sweet treat! read more

I had never been to this Far Out Ice Cream location. I had been once to the location in Time Out Market a few years ago, but they stopped offering the vegan base, so I was not able to get it since. I recently was nearby this location on a hot summer evening, and decided to stop in to finally try it out again. Summer and ice cream is a good pair. Going inside, you order by yourself on kiosks, not at the counter. There are signs to guide you to the iPads to order, but if it's crowded inside, this isn't the most intuitive thing for a newcomer. The ordering kiosks are practically the furthest location from the entrance. It was crowded when I went, but mostly with people eating their ice cream or waiting for an order so once I found the kiosk, I was able to order pretty quickly. Even with a bunch of people hanging out on a summer night, I was impressed that my order was ready pretty quickly (less than 5 minutes from placing the order). I decided to get the Vegan Kookaberry (vegan vanilla base) with blueberry and mango New Zealand style. It was good and serving was acceptable, but mine started to melt pretty quickly and was dripping over the side of my cup (about 5 minutes after getting it). Also, it is on the pricier side for ice cream, even without adding on things like toppings. For any non-dairy folks, you have to pay extra for the vegan substitution, which I genuinely find annoying. I do like that each order is made on the spot and you can customize flavors from time to time. I would go back again to try other options, but I personally wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

The screen ordering is a joke. 4 people in there and they clog up the line. I ordered a waffle clearly, then the guy said they were out of waffles and there were 6 waffles in the case. Got to a traditional ice cream place instead!!! TOTAL DISFUNCTION. read more

I actually came here two days in a row! The first day was with my BF and my sister. They both got the pre-made mixes and I decided to go for a dirty soda. The strawberry grahamcake one was the best, but I felt like the mango sticky rice was a little low on flavor and then the dirty soda (the root beer float) was extremely sweet--a little overpowering. Luckily I went back with some friends the next day, so I was able to give this another try. I got the raspberri mudslide in a kiddie size. This was much better. I liked that it was like a raspberry chip soft serve with some chocolate drizzle. I agree with some of the other commenters that the touch screen ordering is a bit overwhelming, because there are so many options and abbreviations on the menu. I also think it creates a bit of a bottleneck with ordering because we were spending so much time scrolling through the touch screen and trying to figure out what our choices were and what we should get. Overall, I wasn't super wowed by the ice cream or the experience. It is refreshing, and if you like fruit ice creams/fro yo vibes, this might be great for you. But it was pretty expensive and some of the orders we got were misses. read more

Oh my god, some of the best and most unique desserts I've ever had! The new zealand style concept is so cool! I love how customizable it is, and it feels like you can't go wrong with any combo because everything just tastes so fresh. This is seriously a dessert you can't get enough of because it's perfectly sweet while still being light and rejuvenating! The service is kind and quick and the vibes are upbeat and fun! On top of that, the ice cream is stretchyyyy, what more could you want? read more

Far Out - Banana froyo with honey - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Unique ice cream store with the cutest mascot and decor! Loved the orange and white theme. You order from a kiosk, and your ice cream is served super quickly! They specialize in frozen yogurt-esque ice cream that it made with your choice of fruit, and either a vanilla or chocolate base. They dump everything into a cone that then squishes the flavors together and creates a soft serve. My friend got the kookaberry kids size, which clearly had remnants of berries inside and tasted incredibly refreshing with no heaviness. I got the Hokey Pokey kids size, which is a flavor from New Zealand with vanilla ice cream mixed with honeycomb toffee. Quite delicious and unique - not too sweet! Def heavier than the kookaberry. Prob would wanna try vanilla with mango next time for a more refreshing flavor. read more

a unique spot for new Zealand ice cream that fans of fruity ice cream will love! Far out is a trendy and casual spot where you customize your order at an iPad and offers a few seating options in and outside. I made my own combination with a vanilla base, mango chopped and blended in (blending on ingredients is their staple), and topped with condensed milk. It definitely was refreshing and felt lighter than ice cream but creamier than froyo. A cool option to mix up your sweet treat. It was however a little pricey. Service was fine nothing special. read more

The first time I had far out was actually at time out market in fenway. It was so good, I had to check out their original location in MA! To my expectations, this store is even better than imagined. Staff is friendly, self service kiosks are easy to use, store is clean and inviting, prepacked pints can be picked up in the back, and froyo is delicious. I really like their raspberry w/ chocolate flakes but thus time I got strawberry w/ graham cracker dust and it tasted like cheesecake! Tangy, creamy, and not too sweet. Highly recommend! read more

Highly recommend ordering for pickup, otherwise be prepared to wait. I got the kookaberry while my partner got the strawberry topped with crushed graham crackers. I enjoyed the kookaberry, similar to how I make a smoothie. My partner preferred mine too. I enjoy that you can customize whether you want a vanilla or chocolate base and what to top it with. Because it's so customized, they make each to order so it takes a while. They call out orders by name instead of number so you really can't tell when you'd be coming up unfortunately. read more

It was fun to try this place for the novelty of it. Their NZ ice cream is regular ice cream but blended with a lot of fruit, so what you get in the end is a sort of mix of ice cream and fruit with a fro-yo consistency. I went with chocolate ice cream mixed with blueberries and cherries which was tasty, but the cherries definitely overpowered the blueberries. The end result tasted sort of like those retail cherry cordials, but seemed healthier in that there weren't any detectable notes of anything artificial. Not bad. The only option to order is to use their touch screen system, which I always feel is a bit of a pain. No one really explained to us what the offerings were like, so we had to extensively look through the touch screen options to get a sense of the different sizes, flavors and sundaes. When we visited there were not many folks in the shop, so our orders came out quickly. However, the staff didn't seem to be keeping the place very clean and tidy- tables were dirty with ice cream drippings and chairs at empty tables were not pushed in. Everything is quite pricey; two kiddie size cups were almost $12. I was kind of annoyed that they request a tip on the touch screen because we basically ordered on our own and the staff certainly wasn't doing much to attend to the tables or clean up. Glad to try it to see what it is like but unlikely I will be back given the price, annoyance of the touch screen system and lack of attention to cleanliness. read more

Very tasty and good polite service . Nice and clean place. We had a great time and Will return for sure.

Picked up via doordash here on a hot summer day because I was feeling a little lighter, possibly fruity ice cream but not sorbet. The first time I'd come here a couple years ago, the line took like an hour because of the mix-ins so I was trying to avoid that experience. Picking up was fast and efficient and I wonder if the ordering kiosks if you order in person. The ice cream did hit the spot, the only bummer about the pickup was that it was pretty frozen and took a while to thaw - that is probably helpful for delivery but meant that the texture wasn't quite as fluffy as usual. read more

We got the kookaberry with a vanilla base and chocolate base, to compare. The vanilla emphasized the berry flavors (wasn't prominent in the background) while the chocolate flavor was a bit stronger (and better imo!) We went on a Wednesday night and the wait was very long- maybe 10 min between ordering through the kiosk and receiving our ice creams. Granted there were only 2 people behind the counter and it was very busy, but this place is much slower than your typical ice cream shop. This was my first time here and I intentionally chose a basic flavor combo to try first- I'd return to try other funkier combinations for sure! read more

Far Out - Kookaberry with vanilla base, double kookaberry (chocolate base) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

I was running errands with my mom in the neighborhood when I spotted this cute little ice cream shop. The woman working behind the counter was really friendly and explained how to order: first pick a base (vanilla or chocolate), then add in fresh fruit, which would be blended into the ice cream to make it more of a soft serve consistency, then you could opt for toppings. My mom got a vanilla with blueberries and strawberries in a cone and I decided on a vanilla with strawberries and banana in a cone. The ice cream was really smooth and tasty and the cones were crunchy and fresh. My only callout would be that it needed more fruit--the bottom of my cone was just vanilla. Overall, it's a fun place that I'd visit when I'm back in the area. read more

Flavors - 3/5 Textures - 4/5 Presentation - 4/5 Value for Money - 3/5 I love the idea here, but I think the experience will be highly dependent on the flavors. I got their best seller (Kookaberry) and it was good, but lacked sweetness, tanginess and excitement. It felt like a low fat/calorie ice cream (which if it is my score would be different, but they don't advertise it that way). I did love the presentation, but not the price. I also tried their vanilla base by itself and it was pretty good! Actually better than the blended ice cream, but you can't get it as soft serve, just as hard scoop. I liked the service ordering through the screen, although because this ice cream is so different, it might be a better experience to talk to someone about it that can help guide your choice. read more

I canceled my order. read more

Creamiest ice cream I've ever had!! So smooth and perfect amount of sweetness. I got the chocolate base with mango and added matcha as a topping, ran me about $7.50. Mango was subtle but definitely there; matcha could have been stronger. One star off because cones were an extra $1.50 on top of an already higher priced ice cream, but otherwise so good. read more

Don't order online pickup unless you want the special online flavor. You are forced to pay a tip, and the takeout ice cream is compressed by the lids. It's better and so easy to order from the store kiosks because they have a bigger menu selection and it doesn't take that long inside anyway unless there's a long line. My favorite New Zealand combos so far have been anything berry. Those seem to taste the least sweet and most natural tasting. Also, they have very good tasting coffee and yummy lattes! read more

This place is such a unique and delicious treat! Every time I've visited, my experience has been great. And you know it's good when the smell of freshly baked waffle cones is the first smell that greets you as you walk inside. On my last visit, I tried one of their new specialty flavors which was made of strawberry and had honey drizzled on top. I love how fresh and fruity (without being artificial tasting) their ice cream is. Their cones are also delicious, although I wish they offered more varieties. I will say too that there is very limited seating inside. If you're coming with a large group, just expect that you'll probably have to take your ice cream to-go. read more

I love a soft serve ice cream. And I love the customizability of this ice cream. It's tasty and creamy and soft. However every time we've been (which has probably only been during prime time evening time), it's been a ridiculous wait. I never keep track because I'm just trying to keep my toddler busy, but at least 30 minutes. We've seen people leave before their order is ready. I'm not sure if the flavors good enough for the wait. read more

Super bright and fun vibes inside which I love! I got their best seller "strawberry grahamcake" and they infused strawberries and graham cracker crumbs into the ice cream It's basically cold stone creamery style but infused by a machine, not folded with the two medal spoons. The strawberry taste was prominent (which is good if you love strawberry ice cream) but halfway down the cone it became vanilla ice cream and that part was my favorite. Also it was $9 after tax for a cone (I guess that's the price you pay for customizable ice cream) and it comes out tasting like fro yo. Overall it's def a new and different experience! Super cute spot but the line can get long and interfere with the folks eating inside. You also order on an iPad so there's no interacting with the staff, other than to pickup your ice cream. I def wanna go back to try other flavors like chocolate ice cream with strawberry mixed in or vanilla and mango. :) read more

This was a very cute and interesting place serving New Zealand style ice cream. There are kiosks in the back of the place where you can customize your order. They gave options of different fruits to blend and different bases to choose from. After you order, they would call you up when your order is ready. This type of ice cream isn't my style but it's definitely worth a try. It is definitely a cute place and there is plenty of seating available both inside and outside the place. read more

Tried the Kookaberry, which is their signature combination of strawberry, blueberry and raspberry with a vanilla base. The ice cream itself was very smooth and creamy, and tasted great for a supposedly "healthier" version of ice cream, but they don't seem to clean or swap out the ice cream emulsifier between orders because my ice cream had a very distinct chocolate flavor mixed in as well from the order right before mine. If you have significant allergies to anything on their menu, I would probably be careful with what you order here. Service was pretty fast and it was very busy on a Friday night. read more

Was in the area for dinner so decided to come here for ice cream. I've never had New Zealand style ice cream and this did not disappoint. Peach Cobbler - it actually tasted like peach cobbler in ice cream form. This was one of their seasonal items. Toastie Sunrise - when I received the ice cream it was leaning and melting. I think it had been sitting for a bit before they called me to get my order. The honey drizzle was better than I expected. The flavors worked well together. I tasted all the flavors expect the banana. I loved the bits of toasted coconut blended into the ice cream. read more

Last week, we dropped by this place for some dessert. There was a bit of a queue and we waited for about 10 minutes before we could place our order on the electronic kiosk. You can customize your ice cream or you can choose the pre-made flavors(Enzy's favorites). I did the latter and got the New Zealand Colada which consisted vanilla ice cream, mango and pineapple chunks, and toasted coconut flakes. We waited for about 10 minutes before we got our order. The New Zealand Colada tasted very good. I usually don't like coconut flakes but the combination worked. However, I could only taste the pineapple but not the mango. I would try out other flavors next time if I'm around the area. read more

Dining method: Counter-serve/Dine-in Item(s) ordered: Vanilla yogurt base with mango, peach, and toasted coconut flakes Speed: Kinda slow for an ice cream place. The order took about 10 minutes to come out. Value: At about $6-$7, this is a great buy on a hot day! The review: Far Out is a fun concept to try if you're ever bopping around Coolidge Corner. This New Zealand ice cream spot blends ice cream base with several fruit mix-ins and toppings. My ice cream did not taste very strongly of peach or mango, but did taste a bit like banana, which I did not order. Perhaps their cleaning is not the best. Though I did not bring it back, they will re-make if there's an issue, so their service is nice. If this is your one chance in Brookline, I'd opt for another cool treat, but if you're a local, this unique ice cream is worth a try. read more

Located in the corner of brookline, this ice cream shop serves New Zealand ice cream where they blend vanilla ice cream with frozen fruits. They have a simple menu of ice cream bases and flavors to choose from but I enjoy the simplicity of it! The vanilla ice cream is creamy and not too sweet which is to my liking. Overall, I enjoyed my ice cream there. Staff was friendly but they have limited indoor seatings. I highly recommend the kookaberry flavor (mix of strawberry, raspberry and blueberry) The wallpaper in the store in colorful and vibrant and have a good amount of seatings indoors and outdoors.

My favorite ice cream place in Boston!!! General info: New Zealand style ice cream where you can mix real fruit flavors into creamy delicious ice cream! Updates on food: Unfortunately this used to be a 5 star for me, but my recent visit made it a bit closer to a 4 star. Previously, I feel like they used a lot of fruit when mixing into the ice cream. This time, I got the chocolate and banana which is my favorite combination, but the banana flavor was not very consistent throughout the ice cream. Some parts were more banana-y, and others felt like there was none at all.. Pricing: this place can definitely get a little pricey. It has made me even consider just getting the pint as it's only a few more dollars than the large size of the ice cream. Parking: street parking read more

Went to the Coolidge Corner Theatre tonight and need a post movie snack. A short walk away was a fun looking place called Far Out Ice Cream. Easy to find on-street parking and sit-down eating inside and out. The place is unique in that you pick from a list of creams, add goodies of your choosing and then toppings. Or, you can just select a few specials. The servers pull the ingredients together and they are mixed in an auger and emptied into a cup, cone or both. The outcome is magical! I had a special from their list called strawberry gram cracker and my wife had the toasty sunrise. The third in our party went rogue and made a concoction of her own. All three were excellent! Since the place was hopping, we walked a block and had our ice cream on a bench. Guilt only set in when we noticed the business we were sitting in front of... Give this place a try! read more

I would choose soft serve over scooped ice cream any day but unfortunately I don't think this spot is for me. I got a kiddie-sized ice cream with their chocolate base, raspberries, and cookies and creme blended in. The ice cream tasted... healthy. It wasn't super sweet (probably due to the tartness from the fruit) but also wasn't very creamy. I barely tasted the cookies and creme which was disappointing because you have to pay extra for mix-ins. The blended fruit added some texture to the ice cream so it was a little grainy. I imagine that some of the softer fruits (banana, mango) would have a smoother texture. As others have mentioned, if they don't clean the cup before they blend your ice cream, then you will get a little bit of whatever the person before you had. read more

Interesting soft serve dessert! The place was super.busy when we went on a weeknight after dinner so there wasn't a ton of space and the wait was a little long, however the staff were doing their best and we got our orders within a few minutes. They have you order on a kiosk with a few flavor options that are mixed in with the toppings you choose, making a very well blended dessert. The consistency was a bit better than most soft serve I think and pretty unique. I enjoyed the flavors they had and the end product was pretty delicious. The only con here I think was the price - I'd much prefer a larger portion for less quality ice cream honestly so the tiny portion for the almost $10 was a little disappointing. For dessert though, I'd probably return albeit not super often, but the experience was pretty positive and I enjoyed my time! read more

Far Out Ice Cream is such a fun and tasty addition to the Brookline area! When they first opened, the line would be out the door! But now, it's definitely chilled down a bit and the wait times are much faster and manageable. You can order online or go in person and order using a tablet. They make their ice cream using fresh fruit right in front of you and you can customize what goes in it; starting from the dairy bases to the fruits and toppings. I really like their Kookaberry (which is a fruit mix) with a vanilla ice cream base! The ice cream itself is really creamy and tastes delicious. They give you a lot, even if you order a small. I love the fact you can watch them make your ice cream as well using their machines. They also have coffee which is really cool too, I'm sure it's really tasty as well! Overall, Far Out is a cute little ice cream shop. There's some indoor seating, but not a lot. There's also two tables outside. I can't wait to try their other flavors and make different combinations! read more
