Fresh Tiki Bar is my favorite spot to get ice cream in downtown Somerville. It's located on division st. which is a pedestrian zone, so you'll have to find parking & walk to the store. As soon as you walk into Fresh Tiki Bar, you are greeted with fun, pink, tiki themed decor (perfect for Instagram or Yelp pics). There's seating inside for small groups or solo eating. They have a wide variety of flavors & options. My favorite flavor is the premium flavor- crazy caramel pretzel. I usually get it on a cone or in a pint to go but I've been dying to try one of their sundaes or ice cream sandwiches. The staff is super friendly & will give you recommendations as needed. Fresh Tiki Bar is definitely worth trying if you're in the area!
This place was only open a few days a week with limited hours. The inside gave off island vibes with the décor and music being played when I attended. The menu had mostly ice cream with tons of unique homemade flavors along with waffles and ice cream sandwiches. I opted for the ice cream cookie sandwich with vanilla ice cream ($8.75?). This was gigantic!! I still am unsure how all of the ice cream was fit into the two chocolate chip cookies, but it managed to all stay together. This was tasty. The vanilla ice cream was creamy and 'full.' The chocolate chip cookies were very tasty too and went well with the vanilla taste. I also tried a chocolate brownie flavor. It was far too chocolatey to me. Will I go back? I would.
This place is a ray of sunshine, a burst of happiness and just covered in pink and flamingos. I never got a chance to see the inside as I've only learned they were in that little promenade off of Main St in Somerville recently, but I am pretty sold on this place for both sweet treats and healthy bites. Since Covid, they are only doing outdoor seating, to go and local delivery (I am not 100% sure if delivery is always an option) and you even order at the walk up window. It's pretty ideal if you've been avoiding new and even your favorite places because you aren't sure how well you'll be able to social distance. I've gotten an amazing Acai bowl that filled me up and then had some left over for a snack later on. I cannot remember its name but it had a lot of coconut, and pineapple and the acai base. It was so tasty and I chatted with the owner Amy about how their açai is not loaded with as much sugar as many other places (because of something that I feel silly for not remembering now) but it made me feel a lot better about the devouring the bowl. In addition to healthy snacks, their ice cream is out of this world. Seriously! I've tried the strawberries and cream, coffee and chocolate as part of their ice cream cookie sandwich box and it's deliciously creamy. I'm seriously in love with this place and would recommend a stop here when perusing Somerville.
Super cute ice cream shop in Somerville! They have a good selection of flavors but it's not an extensive menu. I had the cookie doh and really enjoyed it. The scoop was a generous portion. I would definitely return!
Came in on a Friday night when visiting family in the area. It's one of the few dessert spots open till 10PM on Fridays. While there were a few other dessert options, we decided to check this place out for the variety. The dessert shop is located in a small nook where pedestrians can walk. It's perpendicular to the Main Street that runs through downtown Somerville, which is where you'd park to get here. As soon as we walked in, the decorations were the first thing that stood out to us. While we could tell the interior of the building wasn't the newest or most contemporary, the decor, wallpaper, and seating did a great job to create nice ambiance. The menu offers quite a variety of items ranging from waffles on a stick, to standard ice cream scoops, to donut ice cream sandwiches. For the ice cream, there are both "Premium" and "Signature" flavors offered. Either variety is available in a cup or cone. However, only "Signature" flavors are allowed to be chosen for cookie, donut, or waffle sandwiches. While I was intrigued by the waffle option, a few of the "Premium" ice cream flavors stood out to me. The flavor variety here outweighed my desire to try the waffle. I went for the medium size ice cream, which allows you to choose two flavors. I went for Salty Pumpkin Pretzel and Butter Pecan in a waffle cone. My cousin had went for a cookie sandwich, which comes standard with chocolate chip cookies. While it sounded delicious, the cookies are very thin. I did appreciate that the sandwich had a generous amount of ice cream in it. However, the huge scoop of ice cream and very thin cookies create a very unproportional ratio for holding an ice cream sandwich. It crumbles and becomes a mess very soon after biting into it. In terms of quality and flavor, I was very happy with both flavors of ice cream I received. My medium size in a waffle cone cost about 9 dollars. While that is a bit pricey for ice cream, that unfortunately seems to be the standard nowadays for most dessert places. I was at least happy to get a generous ice cream portion with very high quality ingredients and flavor. Overall, I enjoyed this place a lot. They offer a wide variety of items for people with varying dessert preferences. While I don't frequent this area a ton, I'd pay it another visit if I was in the area again.
Came here for some treats and everyone enjoyed everything! What we got: Original hot chocolate Original waffle wands Warm brownie sundae Strawberry shortcake The original hot chocolate was rich and chocolatey, the wands were fluffy and had a bit of cinnamon which we enjoyed, and the warm brownie sundae and strawberry shortcake were so yummy! From the pictures, you can see that they piled the strawberry shortcake to the utmost top!
Ice cream is high quality and HUGE variety whether you love ice cream, complex sundaes, smoothies or waffle covered in your current obsessions. There is a good amount of seating inside and outside. No samples and staff is still functioning like we are in the thick of a pandemic (behind a wall). It was challenging to see flavor options, crowd management is a problem and there's no photos of the treats. You need to choose on a hope and a dream and if you're lucky it's tasty and exactly what you hoped for.
Such a fun spot in Downtown Somerville! You can definitely pop in for a cup or cone of ice cream (they have a bunch of unique flavors), but they also make sundaes and ice cream sandwiches with cookies or donuts! They have a variety of flavored hot chocolates and waffle wands. The waffle was so soft and buttery, I got mine topped with Nutella and their chocolate chip cookie crumble; really yummy! All Instagram worthy stuff. There are a few small tables inside but I imagine the best way to enjoy their desserts is walking along main street or sitting outside on a bench. Make sure you check them out if you're in the area! The owners are so nice and personable, they are clearly happy to be serving their customers and the community.
Such a welcomed addition to downtown Somerville! Here's the scoop. There's something for everyone at Fresh Tiki, including those who gotta keep it dairy-free. The extensive menu ranges from smoothies, acai + pitaya bowls, frozen yogurt, ice cream sandwiches to ice cream sundaes - you name it, they have it. We stopped in after dinner and ordered an array of ice cream treats. You'll have to pay them a visit if you wanna see their ice cream flavors for the day. It's artisanal and made in small batches after all. The orange dream ice cream was a delight but the strawberry shortcake sundae was divine... and whimsical! For a few bucks more, you can even get the sundaes in "family size" to share. Creamy vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries (not the syrupy stuff) and fresh shortcake topped with a mountain of whipped cream. Holy moly. You can taste the love and perfection that goes into their ice cream creations. Well worth the visit!
Popped in for some smoothies while enjoying some music on Division Street on Memorial Day.... They have a good variety of offerings so we went with a strawberry banana and a mango banana. We enjoyed the drinks... they are a little pricey but I guess it's in line with what other shops like this offer.... I'd like to visit again and try out one of their fresh fruit bowls....
I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Not only is this place unlike anywhere around, their unique and incredible ice cream flavors and dessert concepts are simple amazing!!! I love love love the donut ice cream sandwich (which is made with fresh donuts from a local bakery). The attention to detail with every scoop is just impressive. Not only is the food beautiful, but the decor and atmosphere of this spot is totally instagrammable! This place is a MUST go!
Went yesterday with some friends to try out the place. All of the menu choices were appealing. What was most surprising was the proportion sizes of the items we got. Definitely sharable items fyi! Im assuming the woman working the window was the owner/manager. She was very accommodating to my party and you could tell that she was passionate about what she does. Would come back on a hot summer day
Fresh Tiki Bar is hands down my #1 favorite ice cream spot in Somerville! And honestly that's a hard title to take because there are SO many good local places. Tiki makes fresh, small-batch ice cream daily and have THE most unique flavors. A lot are seasonal, so once they're gone, they're gone! My favorite from this visit was the Blueberry Crumble with French Vanilla - absolutely to die for! Some of my favorite flavors I have had: The Devil Dog, Matcha Matcha, Cookies & Crème, and Lucky Charm soft serve. The owner is also the sweetest and such a true dessert enthusiast. They have everything from floats and loaded sundaes to donut ice cream sandwiches and their famous Waffle Wands with toppings like Oreos, Reese's and Fruity Pebbles. There's indoor + outdoor seating, and it can definitely get busy on weekends and during Somerville festivals, but they move as quickly as they can! If you love ice cream, you HAVE to stop here! read more

Fresh Tiki Bar is a unique spot to grab an ice cream in Somerville. I ordered an ice cream cookie sundae, which comes with a premium ice cream flavor. I got the Dutch chocolate ice cream, which was really rich in flavor . The cookie was also soft and warm, deliciously complimenting the ice cream. I did find the presentation of the sundae to be a bit gimmicky since it was basically deconstructed. At around $13, this treat was definitely overpriced. However, for my friends who just got a cone, they received a big portion at a pretty reasonable price. I'd opt for something simpler next time. The interior is tight, but I love the vibrant pink decor everywhere. It gets a bit busy in here, so there may be a small wait for your ice cream. read more

Tight spaced dessert shop. Their walls have frames of awards. Limited seating. If it is lining up. Waiting time is quite sometime. They sell raw coconut. See image for reference. read more

Great place to go for a quick ice cream run! It looked like they had a variety of things (ice cream, pudding, acai bowls) but we were just craving ice cream. They have about 10 flavors of each type of ice cream, dairy and non-dairy (vegan), and they were delicious! They didn't advertise sampling flavors but I'm sure you could. The thing that is best about this place is the AMBIANCE. Seriously so great, feels like you're at the beach! I would love to come back just because of this, and also to try the other food items they have to offer. read more

We love all things Fresh Tiki! The owners are such friendly and fun people and bring great energy to division street. In the winter they have over the top hot chocolate flavors and always introducing fun new items like the flamingo themed drink on girls night out. Amazing place in town to just grab a scoop of ice cream too! Highly recommend. read more
(prerant) You know what really sucks? Bad ice cream. You are already breaking whatever diet rules you have, and are spending 4x the money than getting it at the grocery store, so I understand expectations are high but bad ice cream really sucks. And unfortunately I had a recent traumatizing experience where it was hard and freezer burned and not sweet so I was afraid when walking into this place that it would be a repeat experience. So. afraid. (end prerant) Greeted by pineapples, pink flamingos, and T.V. scenes of calming beaches, my friend & I had to walk through a narrow area to get to the ice cream in the back. We were almost distracted by the acai bowls and smoothie options as well. This place is legit because they do all their ice cream fresh, with a ton of dairy-free options. He got 2 scoops of the cashew coffee (very unique take, not excessively nutty). I got myself a scoop of each lemon cookie (creamy and tarty) & cookies and cream (oreoy in all the good ways possible) ... both with lots of cookie chunks! Love it. These two scoops are BIG. Unfortunately could not make it through all the way but glad it was delicious enough for me re-instill my confidence again in how amazing ice cream is. read more

When walking into Fresh, you can feel the tropical atmosphere with the images of flamingos everywhere. The sounds, smells, and conversations fill the space located on Division Street and waft out onto the sidewalk during the warmer months. The service is impeccable and you are always greeted with a smile. Even on days where the line may be longer, the wait is worth it. Did I mention the food yet? The ice cream is some of the best I've had (and I'm normally a Häagen-Dazs/Dairy Queen type person! Lol) Their waffle sticks are also delicious and I highly recommend trying one! Kudos to the owners for creating a little "island vacation" in Somerville! Will be back when I visit NJ again! read more

My fiancee and I stopped in after getting tattoos for some vegan ice cream. We were not disappointed! The ice cream was tremendously flavorful and pleasantly creamy. The flavor options were all good ones and I'm so happy we got our fill of good ice cream here. read more
Stopped in after dinner the other day. Was presently surprised by the variety of vegan ice cream flavors- the ice cream is also super creamy- which is such a problem when it comes to vegan ice cream. They are generous with sizing too! I got mint chocolate chip vegan Ice cream- super good! My husband ordered a few different chocolate favors and we are astounded when we were handed a huge portion! read more

We went here in May 2022 because my grandson had been begging to come for a fruit bowl since Covid ban was lifted. I haven't been here in about a year or so. I would normally only order a Born this way Pitaya bowl no kiwi. But Aimee informed me that she wasn't making any bowls due to Covid and some shipping from out of the states issue. I gave her my number and asked her to give me a call or text message when she would be back to making fruit bowls again. Despite my disappointment that I was not going to get my pitaya bowl we decided to order ice cream instead. The pictures don't do these ice cream justice they are huge it actually took two days to consume the entire thing. However, they were delicious nonetheless. Covid changed everything and everyone she now has later hours only open towards end of week and weekends but still serves great food! read more

Y'all!! I just have 3 words for you. Edible. Gold. Glitter!!! So, I usually don't brag about food cause I love to eat, but this is EVERYTHING. My family and I have ordered two weeks in a row. And the exact same thing. My lactose-intolerant daughter is addicted to the Apple-A-La-Mode sundae. And there's no guilt because ... quarantine! Not to mention their customer service is A1. But seriously, I highly recommend y'all stop by. Hands down my favorite place! read more
