    Fluff cone! (Rushed home to eat it with my friend because it was literally like 30F out there and raining)

    Honestly top notch ice cream!! My friend and I both got the fluff cone and it's honestly so delicious. This place is a local gem :)

    Staff is very friendly and for 8 bucks you get two giant scoops of homemade ice cream. I got the fruity pebbles and some green ice cream that tastes like nutty vanilla. And they have a cone they dip in fluff and caramelize it with a torch. Pretty cool. Def recommended. I'll come here again

    Top notch ice cream! I had the heath cookies and cream on a sugar cone and I would have no issues eating that every night. At these prices you could too. For a local ice cream shop in the neighborhood they could back their prices up but they don't. It was like$10 for 2 mediums... I thought he'd only rung up one. The staff was friendly and helpful and they have really cool designs for their merch. I particularly liked the one that looked like the old op ivy image.

    Honey cornbread icecream
    Olivia B.

    Picked up this pint in the hotel lobby freezer and omg...it was absolutely incredible! This cornbread flavor was the perfect balance of salty and sweet and I could not stop eating it! They had so many flavors too, I wish I could try them all!

    Black razz & matcha
    Sinjin H.

    We got a small matcha and black razz Oreo reeses. Considering it was a small for 2 scoops, it was smaller than what I was expecting. The black razz was had a hint of berry which I really liked. It complimented the oreo well. As for the Reese's, it came in chunks or reeses pieces. The matcha on the other hand was light and creamy one, I think it went well with the tart berry flavor!!! They also give free sugar and wafer cones for free. Would definitely come back again!!

    Espresso Brownie Chip

    Stopped here after lunch and menu is huge. I had the Espresso Brownie Chip and it was good.

    People were saying how light the flavor was. Which I can see why they say that. But to be honest, I didn't see it as a bad thing. It wasn't too rich, which is what I like. What I've cream and their flavors are too rich, it leaves a weird after taste in the mouth. So I appreciated this place and their ice cream lightness. I would love to come back . Just wish it wasn't crazy busy!

    Kiddie scoop ube
    Della S.

    As other reviews have mentioned, the ice cream here isn't too sweet and is very creamy! They have kiddie scoops for $3.85, small scoops for $4.85, and large scoops for $5.85. Kiddie scoops are limited to one flavor but you can get 2 flavors if you order a small or large. Due to COVID precautions, you place your order online then check in at the window when you arrive so that they can scoop your ice cream for you. We got a kiddie scoop of the ube and a kiddie scoop of the broreo. I thought the broreo would be something like a brownie oreo but it turned out to be a berry oreo (maybe blueberry or blackberry?). Both flavors were really yummy and I appreciated that the ube wasn't a bright neon purple color. I'm definitely looking into getting their pints delivered so that I don't have to venture out to Union Square for their awesome ice cream. The ice cream is a little melty so you should ask for a napkin when you get your order!

    Kiddie scoop
    Harp K.

    Gracie's is my go to ice cream spot in the Union square area. The kiddie scoop is a great size for the price and portion is perfect for one person. I LOVEEE the coffee cold brew flavor! You order online and notify the person at the window of your order. The staff has been really nice when I've visited and has answered all my questions of what the flavors are. Pro-tip: check the flavors before you go, they rotate and often sell out. Still waiting to be able to try the Ube and Pandan flavors, so catch them while you can.

    Cookie Dough Kiddie Cup
    Elena S.

    We came here for the first time tonight. Based on other reviewers, we tried the Cookie Dough and the fluff cone and the Raspberry ice cream. They were pretty good, better than most other ice cream places here. The inside is still closed because of covid but they have an exterior pick up window so place your order ahead of time on ordergracies.com. We brought our pup and they were nice enough to give him a pup cup with some whipped cream. I will say though, I didn't love the political stances they were taking with all the window signage. Can't we keep politics out of ice cream outings?

    Pint of Ube ice cream
    Jamie L.

    Whenever I'm visiting Bow Market, I always drop in to Gracie's Ice Cream. The ice cream itself is more on the soft side, which I prefer. It's creamy and sweet. They have a flavor board of "always" flavors and "sometimes" flavors. The "always" flavors are a few common flavors that people know. The "sometimes" flavors are a bit crazier and change frequently due to the small batch churning. The updated flavors are listed on the Instagram page @graciesflavors almost daily. Honestly, I love that and it bumps up my review rating automatically. I love the crazy "sometimes" flavors that are offered at the shop. Their website holds their full flavor list, and they are still thinking of new creations! One of my favorites "sometimes" flavors is Pandan. It's a crowd favorite and comes back often. Recently they started to make Ube and it always sells out quickly. I was actually able to catch it one time and got a pint to go. Another perk? They have a loyalty card that after the tenth visit, you get a free cone or A PINT. I saved that card for that ube! And of course being in the heart of Somerville, they offer fluff cones. A fun treat! Absolutely a must stop ice cream shop!

    Pop tart, black raspberry chip, fluff cone
    Kristina I.

    I really like this ice cream! I got the pop tart flavor and the black raspberry chip. Both were good quality and the pop tart was fun and unique. The ice cream wasn't quite 5-star for my ice cream taste (I tend to reserve 5 stars for ice cream I finish and wish I still had more of hahaha) but the fluff cone ALMOST edged Gracie's to a 5. The fluff cone really is great, you have to get it. It's toasted and adds great texture and flavor. Awesome.

    Black raspberry by itself or any sort of combo is hands down my freaking favorite. Also home of the fluff cone, so get on that.

Inside this ice cream shop is like a mixture of punk rock vibe, pink, black, and lovely sweet treats. I kind of like it. It's not like most ice cream shops in the south that I am used to seeing. ANYWHO! I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM! That's my motto basically so let's get it in me. If you pair that ice cream desire with a shot or two of expresso, things really start to look up! Behind the counter folks were ok. No real superstars to speak of. Paid so I did mint have a lot of interaction. This place served its purpose. I am glad we stopped. It looks like it's a chain when I searched it on Yelp. The affogato was really good. Nice and sweet with a big espresso bang at the end! Just lovely. The ice cream sandwiches are good too!! Stop by if you have a chance!!! '26 - 5

Here's a secret: Mike's is open early too, and if you're in for a classic espresso drink you can get one there along with a little (ok, large) sweet treat to start your day. There's not much by way of seating at this location so it's more for pickup, but there is a bar at the front of the store where you can sit for a few minutes to enjoy a treat. My husband and I got a latte and a cappuccino, and a pistachio cannoli to split. Both drinks were perfect, hot but not scalded, with robust espresso flavor. The cannoli, as expected, was fantastic. Yes, it's big. Yes, the toppings are only on the ends (but you can eat it strategically to make the toppings last through most of the experience). Maybe I have too much of a sweet tooth but unlike a lot of reviewers I did not find it to be TOO sweet, just the right amount paired with a bitter coffee beverage and split between two people. I've never had a cannoli for breakfast before, but darn if it wasn't a highlight of the trip.
