    Gelato sampler
    Lauren A.

    Quick service. A little shack you walk up to with tons of different options. Everything is great. Not super expensive. Very local neighborhood vibes. It's super popular amount the people who live here and will often have a line at opening.

    This is a neighborhood staple. I fear I gained many pounds during slush king season, but how could you not. After 2 years, 3 roommates, and 2 boyfriends, a strawberry Sunday with hot fudge or the root beer galati are the best orders. There is always a line on a nice evening but it's worth the wait and goes quick. The ladies working here are nice and quick service. And there are a few benches out front to eat on if you want to stay but most people take it to go.

    Absolutely understand the hype! This little ice cream shop in Eastie is serving up some delicious sweet treats - ranging from slushes, gelatis, soft serve, and even fresh ice cream sandwiches! Because Slush King is a neighborhood staple, definitely expect a line when you stop by, but the staff are pretty quick and efficient. I ordered a soft serve swirl with rainbow sprinkles in a cup, while my boyfriend tried the rum raisin gelato. Everything is priced very reasonably and the taste is even better! I'm pretty particular about soft serve, but this has to be my favorite I've tried in Boston so far.

    Updated menu with credit card surcharge information included

    Soft serve was great! Really good quality ice cream. I was irked at the credit card surcharge fees that they are charging which add 7% to the bill

    Slush king - love their ice cream. So many options, such nice service & reasonably priced. Somehow we end up there more often than we should ! It just hits the spot on a sunny hot day.

    Great soft serve and gelato in East Boston for reasonable prices. I loved my large stracciatella gelato sundae with hot fudge, whipped cream, crushed nuts, and a cherry. It was heavy on the whipped cream but still very good. My friends loved their ice cream sandwiches as well!

    My go to spot since they opened. Delicious, great price & value / frappes are a repeat order for me (even tho you'd benefit from a larger straw) I still come here & buy my milkshakes! Family loves the brownie sundae & fried dough

    Medium watermelon and lemon. Perfection. And like 3$....

    Best slush ever. Wish this place was open more often... I really like the grape slush, and of course watermelon and lemon. I like they have real fruit flavors and the classic artificial you sometimes need. It's the best place to go and spend 4$ on a big cup of cold goodness.

    Mango slush

    Service has a lot to be desired. They're rude and don't focus on customer service…read more We ended up walking out because they just gave attitude from the first words out of their mouth. I had my laptop and was NOT doing any work on it. I just had it with me and I wasn't even planning to do work on it. I was there to get coffee. They came up to me and gave me attitude over it and them not wanting screens. I was like okay but then they walked off and didn't take our orders. They saw us leaving and asked if we wanted anything. We said "No! I said we respected your wishes and never disrespected your policy but instead of taking our orders you gave us shit and walked off." They obviously don't want customers.

You really can't go wrong with them and they are a must try. I love the gelato in them, it really kicks them up a notch. I also got the espresso martini which was very very good too. Definitely a top 5 espresso martini. We also got an affogato and had baileys added to it- this was AMAZING! If you're into dessert drinks this is the best place for them. Sometimes you have to wait in line but once you're seated the service is great. The staff checks in often and is extremely helpful. This is a great date night or hang out spot, it has a very relaxed atmosphere and feels like a cafe. Highly recommend!

    I only stopped by the Isabella Museum and Northeastern University, but unexpectedly, I had the best…read moreice cream I've had since arriving in the U.S. "Gelato Cheaper than Therapy"--truly an apt description. My previous favorite was Amorino, but I think this place is a step above. The texture of the ice cream was superb--exquisitely smooth and creamy, yet not as sticky as Amorino. Coconut: Coconut ice cream in the U.S. is always legendary, but this was the pinnacle of the legendary. The aroma of coconut and milk was the richest I've ever tasted, and it felt very natural, with just the right amount of sweetness. Naked Yogurt: Similar in design to Amorino's Yogurt & 0% Fat Yogurt, both were pure, rich, and unsweetened yogurt, but this one had a more intense milky flavor. Espresso Mascarpone: The signature flavor. The bittersweet aroma of espresso was distinct yet mellow, but the presence of mascarpone cheese is limited. Very refreshing. Other flavors: Pistachio had a rich pistachio flavor and was a safe choice; Tiramisu and Dulce de Leche were both a bit too sweet. From this perspective, Amorino seems to offer a more well-rounded experience, but I still prefer the surprising quality of this place. The sorbets were all decorated with fruit, making them especially beautiful. If you try too many samples, the staff might get a little annoyed. I was reminded after trying the fourth flavor, so I reluctantly stopped.

    I love, love, love this place. There is so much to try here. The gelato is amazing amd the protions…read moreare generous. Try one scoop because it will be plenty! Be sure to try the mango which has juicy little pieces of mango embedded in it. This is my personal favorite. The proce is right, too, about $7 The waffle sandwiches are truly unique. They have plenty of seating if you want to sit and chat with friends. The ambiance is relaxed and informal. Da Vinci even offers cadet blue gift cards.

    This isn't an Italian style gelato stand. We tasted a handful of gelato flavors and settled on…read morevanilla because it actually had more taste than the others. Everyone we tasted had extremely subtle flavor and a texture that was so smooth it was more like eating frozen liquid cheese than gelato. The owners run the place closely, are pleasant enough and care about cleanliness and quality. We just didn't like the taste or texture of their products. Based on other yelp reviews, it seems like 'The Emperor's New Clothes' where locals want to love the place and are afraid to tell the owners the complete truth.

    If you want to experience true, handcrafted excellence, Delini Gelato is an absolute must-visit…read more You can taste the exceptionally high-quality ingredients, delicious recipe curation, and the owner's sheer passion in every single bite. This isn't just a quick sweet treat; it's gelato truly made to be savored. I've loved every single flavor I've tried here - and I think I've tried them all. Personally, I lean toward strong, bold profiles. Their chocolate and chocolate hazelnut are incredibly rich and amazing, and the pistachio is absolutely heavenly. That said, their more delicate, subtle flavors like the lavender, salted caramel, and mango lassi are equally wonderful and perfectly balanced. The freshness here is unmatched. The blood orange sorbet was incredible, and while I was in the shop, I actually saw a crate of fresh blood oranges they were prepping to squeeze for the next batch. You can't get any fresher than that! On a personal note, I recently brought my elderly mother, who is in hospice care with dementia, into the shop. She had a cone with two flavors, and it was incredibly gratifying to see her smile and genuinely enjoy one of life's simple pleasures at this stage in her journey. Delini didn't just give us great dessert; they gave us a beautiful memory. Highly, highly recommended. Support this fantastic local gem!
