    Small shop, but very well organized. This team and business have a workflow that works well when people are paying attention. They have candies and other products you can browse while standing in line. The ice cream was very creamy and delicious. I had the oreo (cookie). Staff was efficient and polite. If I'm ever back in the area, I will ABSOLUTELY stop here again!

    Very creamy ice cream in the north end of Boston! I got a small cookies & cream and it was very fresh. To keep the line moving, they only let you taste test up to two flavors. There was a small line when we were there, but service was quick & friendly.

    Cute little shop. All the flavors we tried were good but I especially liked the cereal milk. The fruity pebbles were a little soggy but I was into it. Duality small batch ice cream!

    milk tea flavor was incredible. the flavor was perfect and the texture was super creamy. the matcha strawberry was also fantastic, with the matcha tasting not artificial at all. next will have to try the thai tea coconut. there are not too many ice cream places with flavors like these, so this was a very pleasant surprise. service was kind of weird, they put my cup down and walked away as I was paying without saying anything

    Item(s) ordered: Small scoop with Taro and Thai Tea with coconut The Review: There aren't many ice cream shops with interesting flavors around here. North End Creamery fills that gap! The taro flavor was amazingly creamy and the Thai tea was not sweet, but textured with the coconut pieces. The staff were really nice and customers are allowed to taste flavors (a rarity around here!). Nice stop when you have a hankering for ice cream in the North End.

    Cute storefront along Salem St in the North End! Balanced flavors and interesting combinations. We were talking about the Thai Tea Coconut ice cream long after it was finished!! The staff is super conscious of allergies, changed scoops and opened a new container for my order. (Photo was from a past visit)

    Everything everybody has said. Five stars all the way for this homemade ice cream where every single flavor is great. Would come here every week if I lived here. The espresso Oreo and Thai tea coconut were nuts. Coming back. 5 stars!!!!

    Ice cream is not bad. I tried matcha and taro, and went with taro since it's less sweet and tastes more creamy. Service was nice. Don't be afraid of the line - the line moves fast. A great summer bite after an Italian meal at North End!

    Yummy ice cream! Loved the espresso oreo and milk tea flavors. Gelato equipment ice cream style. Great service. Girls were sweet and friendly. Happy to drop by this creamery in the Italian neighborhood and not far from Paul Revere house. Thanks for making our Boston trip super sweet.

    I went to the north end creamery the other day with my friend and it was SO GOOD. The flavors are so unique and absolutely delicious. I got the pumpkin chai custard and my friend got taro--both were amazing. The girlies there were super sweet and the store itself is super cute! Would 100% go here again and try more flavors

    Very yummy ice cream with totally unique flavors! We were looking for ice cream or gelato and wandered here. There's a bright atmosphere inside and so many fun flavors to choose from! I got the Thai tea and strawberry matcha both of which were fantastic! I'm a huge ice cream foodie and this definitely met my standards! Service was pretty good and efficient, I'm pretty excited to come back!

    Delicious treat on Salem st. The people working here are cool and listen to good music. They make their ice cream themselves which is quite rare in the ice cream industry. Great spot if you want something other than cannolis and gelato in the North End.

    Cookie dough, flourless cookie
    Eva A.

    Homemade! The owner literally makes the ice cream in a machine in shop. They usually have dairy free flavors, but they ran out and we didn't have time to wait for it to be made. The owner was super nice and offered a cookie on the house instead or lactaid! The ice cream itself was good, but the vanilla lacked in flavor. The fudge brownie was very rich and the cookie dough was decent, but with the vanilla base so it was sweet but not super flavorful. The portions were decently large, I couldn't even finish one scoop. Overall would go again!

    They did not accommodate for my nut allergy at all. Very disappointing. The ambiance was nice though.

    Call it a tourist trap if you want, but I loved Mike's Pastry! I visited on a Friday afternoon, and…read morewas surprised it wasn't super full. 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.

    Maybe this place is just a tourist trap, but I dropped by because I heard such great things about…read moreit. 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.

    My friend and I were on the hunt for a good ice cream spot that gave the "farm fresh ice cream"…read morevibe and we came across Dairy Freeze during our search. The ice cream itself was sooo good. I got my usual: soft serve twist with rainbow sprinkles in a waffle cone. The cone was so fresh and flavorful, the rainbow sprinkles also tested fresh (I love when the sprinkles have their own distinct taste. That's how you know they're fresh), and the soft serve was cold and creamy. The dream. My friend got the cookie dough hard ice cream in a waffle cone and she really liked it too. The ordering/waiting lines were wild. Idk if it was an off-night when we went, but there were at least 15 people standing around waiting for their ice cream while we were in line ordering. Then it came our time to wait and it took 12 minutes just to get these 2 cones out. The kitchen was closed by the time we were there too, so no one was waiting on food. We were all waiting on an ice cream cone. I feel for them - it was a hectic summer night and everyone wants good ice cream - but I honestly hadn't seen anything quite like this before!

    This was my dad's go-to ice cream place growing up, so we had to visit when we were in the area. My…read moredad says they are known for their soft serve ice cream, but I went with their hard serve cookie dough. The hard serve ice cream is from Richardson's. If I am ever back in the area, I definitely would get the soft serve staple. Service was friendly and fast. The parking lot is not ideal with only a few spots but customers were in and out and there is always street parking. Support local and come on out!
