It was both sweet and perfectly indulgent, exactly what you want from a late-night ice cream run. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. My only regret is that I had already snacked way too much before arriving, otherwise I definitely would've gone for a larger cup with more scoops. I'll have to come back to try some other flavors!

I'd just like to start off that if I was writing this review years ago I'd be giving Rons Gourmet…read moreIce cream 5 stars. Sadly, our recent visit was underwhelming. To start, cleanliness is something they truly need to have their employees focus on. For a food establishment this was sad to see. While the flavor of my brownie sundae was enjoyable, I was disappointed to see that my portion was noticeably smaller from what I've received in the past. Additionally, the brownie appeared to have been taken out of the freezer and reheated in the microwave, which affected the overall quality. As far as the rest of my groups ice cream, it was good. Nothing spectacular but no complaints. Staff was friendly, it was pretty busy and it looked as if they were training a staff member as well. If I could I would give 3 1/3 stars vs just 3.

P. Licks scattered around Metro Boston, so if you live out here the odds are excellent you've been to one and know what they sell. But if you live outside of Boston (like I do) the odds are pretty good you're not familiar with them, as I was not. So, here's a word of advice, if you have plans on visiting one for the first time, you really ought to do yourself a favor and scrutinize their menu before you visit. Otherwise, you'll be gawking at their incredible menu board for half an hour. You'll have to whittle down your selection between hard and soft ice creams, hard and soft yogurts, frappes, smoothies, sundaes, splits, ice cream cakes and pies and sandwiches and cupcakes, a coffee bar and a bakery with scones, coffee cake, muffins, cookies, pop tarts, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, bagels, croissants, and more. Everything is listed on a long menu board that spans the full-size ordering counter, so it's not very easy to see everything unless you strut the length of the counter, so that's why I suggest a little reconnaissance. Our grand kiddies wanted hot chocolates, so we got them a small ($3.75) and a medium ($4.25). They drank them up, but I did mooch one sip and loved it - deep chocolate flavor and not overpoweringly sweet. My wife and I returned to our Bronx roots and shared a chocolate egg cream ($5.90) and it was as good as I remember getting at our soda shop under the elevated D Train subway tracks on Jerome Avenue. Just a perfect blend of carbonated chocolate milk. Quite a wonderful flashback.

There was just a short line when we got there, which gave us time to review their many flavors options. There was just line move quick and before we knew it we were at the front and the pressure was on. As a big fan of Oreos/cookies and creams I was intrigued by the multiple flavors of cookies and cream that started with a different base than the typical vanilla ice cream. I went with the salted caramel cookies and creams, and was glad I did. Absolutely delicious! There is some inside seating but not much. It seems most take theirs to roam and shop at other stores. Overall, it was a tasty visit, with some unique flavors, friendly staff even in the hectic atmosphere. Pricing was a bit, I'm sure due to their rent, but with 5 other cookies and cream variations, I'll definitely be stopping in next time I'm in the area again!

Service is always great. They're always positive and really quick, even when it's busy (often) or close to closing. The shop itself is cute, bright, clean, and there is always a lot of laughter as people sit around and eat their treats. It's tucked in a little strip mall across from the High School, and there's a decent amount of seating given the small space. Five stars, would absolutely recommend.

I would never have guessed it was vegan! Their ice cream is also so creamy and smooth. The employees are upbeat and friendly here and the store is very clean and well maintained. Parking is also very easy in their giant lot. If you join their rewards program, you get discounts and a free cookie on your birthday!
