They have a huge variety of mix-ins for you to customize your ice cream flavor. It's a great, family-friendly business. The owners are lovely and so friendly, too. My friend and I often get ice cream from sweeties after a yummy dinner at Shanti nearby for an overall epic evening of good food. If you need a gift for someone in your life, get them a sweeties gift card!

Even though there were over 10-15 of us, they accommodated us very well in their space. Fun event!

Came here for a post dinner sweet treat and there weren't many others there so it was pretty quiet…read more It was also raining pretty heavily and the inside space was closed for some reason so we had to place our order outside and immediately leave the vicinity due to the rain. They were also out of a flavor I wanted which was unfortunate, but the service was otherwise fine and quick. It's a little steep in pricing for the scoop size, but the flavors were tasty enough. Overall, I don't think I would come out of my way to try it again, but it was a nice dessert.

My friend mentioned there was a great ice cream place that opened near me, and I couldn't wait to…read moretry it! Far out blends fruit into their ice creams which makes them taste out of this world. You can either make your own flavor by choosing a base ice cream and picking out your fruit as well as toppings. I tried the Elvis which is a chocolate banana ice cream with a peanut butter topping and crunchy chocolate pieces and flakes of sea salt. It was so rich and creamy. I loved every bite. The staff was great at keeping up with the line and we got our order in no time at all. One thing I will say is, it's a bit pricey for a small cup. However I understand fresh fruit is expensive and I will pay for a delicious treat like this any day, def worth it. We will definitely be back to try more flavors from Far out.

Tried their matcha mango vanilla. It had a weird gummy texture to the ice cream and felt bland…read more Didn't taste vanilla mango or matcha. It was also not vibrant green of a matcha as like the picture in store. Felt the hairs of the mango in the ice cream so it wasn't pleasant. It tasted like the matcha was not good quality/off and just mango hairs in it. It was thick like Greek yogurt but lacked any of the flavors Staff was kind and polite and service was quick but taste wise would not go again

I'm sad this place is closed. This was one of my go to spots for a snack when I went to the Rozzie…read moreSquare Theater for improv/comedy. It makes sense if they are renovating the whole building. They have both bubble tea and frozen yogurt with plenty of topping choices. My favorite flavors are the mango, pineapple, and coconut. I love the fresh fruit and popping boba and mochi for the toppings. As with many froyo spots they charge by weight so depending on how much you loaded up would be the cost. I believe they also had 2 different size containers. In the past I remember my total being between $10-$15 so it can definitely add up! The owners also seem nice I think they tried offering a free milk tea that was made as a test for me and my friends that were hanging out in the space. Hopefully once the space is done with renovation they will be back.

Sadly closing soon as per signage. Went in after celebrating Holi Mela. The shop is located at…read moreprime location, right in the hub of Roslindale. Self service - you grab a plastic glove and cup, walk to the end of the shop, and start pulling down the handles to dispense yogurt. Some sample flavors are mango, vanilla , cookie and cream, and chocolate (want a mix of vanilla and chocolate? Then use the middle handle between vanilla and chocolate). After you're done with yogurt, move on to toppings (boba, candies, etc). Remember! It's weigh and pay system. My small portion came out to be exactly $6. Huge place but it's dark. Restroom in the back.

I can't say enough about how much we love the VU. M and I have lived in the area for a while and…read morestop by to grab a coffee or pastry probably close to once a week. The owner Kevin is there a lot of the time and he's super knowledgeable about movie options. First, the cafe aspect. Excellent coffees and homemade tea blends. They also offer monthly specials (on the chalkboard outside) that are often really tasty. Kevin is also a great baker and makes all their treats from scratch onsite. The cheddar jalapeño scone is our favorite but everything we've ordered is consistently good and there's a variety every time we visit. Next, the movie rental aspect. Basically it's your friendly neighborhood Netflix back when Netflix was mailing DVDs to people. $20/month for unlimited rentals, no more than 2 out at a time, and Kevin is quick to buy new movies as soon as they're available. They also have a mini private theater you can rent out for events like birthdays or to watch events like the Oscar's or Super Bowl. I haven't used that yet but it's cool to know it's there. Great neighborhood staple and one of those little businesses that makes you feel glad to live in a city. Strongly recommend!

Super happy to have a spot like this in the neighborhood!

Unfortunately, haggis isn't available every day, so when we visited on a Sunday evening, it was not on the menu. That was definitely disappointing to find out. Instead, we ordered the Scotch egg, sliders, and the deep-fried Mars bar. The Scotch egg was good, but at $13 for a single egg, it felt a bit overpriced. It came with a small side salad, though I think serving two eggs instead would have made it a better value. The sliders were a pleasant surprise. The beef was clearly high quality, and they were the perfect size if you want to enjoy a great burger without committing to a full one. To finish, we shared the deep-fried Mars bar, and it was absolutely delicious. It's definitely a rich dessert, so it's perfect for sharing between two people. I personally would have preferred it with vanilla ice cream instead of whipped cream, but it was still a great way to end the meal. Overall, I'd love to come back and finally try the haggis, but based on this visit, I'd definitely recommend the sliders and the deep-fried Mars bar.

They didn't have an expansive array of their popsicle, which I think why I didn't love them as much. Their mango popsicle was just alright. I also just want to qualify this entire by saying that I'm not the biggest popsicle fan in general. My roommate got one of their more complex popsicles somewhere else, and she loved it. I will hopefully try one of their fun flavors soon!

If you want an ice cream treat with a unique twist, this can be a solid option. The staff here is super friendly and it's objectively a cool concept, but honestly it didn't appeal to ME (subjective). I am a classic ice cream enthusiast through and through. They do New Zealand style fruit twist ice cream, where you pick a flavor and blend in a fruit of your choice. I chose chocolate ice cream as my base and blended in raspberry. I expected a rich, dark chocolate raspberry flavor (think chocolate bar), but I was pretty disappointed. The ice cream itself had such a light flavor, I barely felt the chocolate. The fruit was prevalent, but my gf got hers with strawberry and I couldn't taste much of a difference. Additionally, I mixed in graham cracker and added chocolate sauce. The graham cracker was blended so thin like sand, I couldn't taste it at all. What a disappointment, and they charged extra for it. I paid $20 for two small ice cream cups :/
