    2 scoops of coconut ice cream bottom layered with walnuts and Reece's Pieces topped with chocolate sauce and  whipped cream
    Jamie C.

    Feel like one of the only original beach establishments left on the boulevard. The 90s feel takes me bake to my bike riding days down Revere Beach. Keep in mind I've been here a million times and I even used to deliver slush here when I was younger working for Richie's slush. The team was on point tonight I went in there with a dream and my man Riley made it happen. I sampled the coconut I cream and we went to work. I got a 2 scoop (coconut) Sunday with walnuts Reece's Pieces whipped cream with a cherry on top. Layered on the bottom and sprinkled on the top to make what I will now call the Chambers coconut special. So good had to go back and make sure I got the kids name right. What a way to sol in the final days of summer with a giant moon above and an insanely excellent ice cream Sunday to top it all off.

    Yummmy i loved mine. Nice workers and outdoor seating. Lots of good flavors to pick from.

    Coffee cookies and cream in a cup

    I love you Twist & Shake, un-cone-ditionally!! This summer, I had no other craving except for a waffle cone of coffee cookies and cream ice cream from Twist & Shake. There's something about the temperature of the ice cream here that makes it so devour-able and pleasant. There is never freezer burn on the ice cream and all the toppings are super fresh!! Twist & Shake exclusively carries Richardson's ice cream. They don't have all the flavors offered compared to going directly to Richardson's, but I don't really mind cause I only care about the coffee cookies and cream and the Kahlua brownie! Get these flavors- you won't regret it!! This location is unfortunately closed for the (winter) season and will reopen when the weather is warmer but their Winthrop location stays open all year round. In the summertime, expect a LONG line. But it is worth the wait- TRUST ME! One scoop here is all I need because the one scoop here is a humongous one. So much value for the reasonable price they charge for ice cream on the beach. The inside of this ice cream shop is charming; with pink and purple colored walls and hand written menu boards. There aren't many seats inside but why would you want to sit inside when you can bring your ice cream just a few steps away to enjoy on the beach?! Most of the employees here seem to be students who work part-time in the summer and in my interactions with them, all seem to be pretty friendly. 10/10 recommend!

    Bring along those elastic pants for a delightful visit to Twist & Shake. With too many flavors, hard and soft serve, you could order something different for a month and not expire the choices. Sure you'd be somewhere in the three-bills weight range by month-end, but you'd have gotten there in a blaze of creamy glory! For those into the "lighter fare", head to the Italian Ice and slush section for plenty of options there as well. Tonight was not going to be a trip through Italy for me in the least. It's gonna be all-cream, all the time. Greeted with a "what'll you have handsome" as I stepped into the ring (aw you're just saying that to make me feel bettah), I resisted the urge for stage fright. "Two scoops. Scoop One: blackberry. Scoop two: coconut. Waffle cone." My night quickly was headed south as I heard "we don't have any waffle cones left do we?" It was almost too much to bear. "I can take a cup instead", meekly, all hope lost. But then from the ice cream ashes, a glimmer of hope from the girl in the back: "I think we have one more." Jackpot, somebody go take a chance because You can ride my last-waffle-cone luck all the way to the bank. I happily traded too much money for this beautiful stack of pointy-bottomed goodness and left before anybody saw there were no more waffles. Oh I almost forgot, they have a wide selection of hard and soft-serve, along with frappes, floats, sundaes, boats. There's even kiddie stuff for those tricking their children into not ordering something huge. I'll sample the other wares on my next stroll along America's Oldest Public Beach.

    Italian ice - watermelon, lemon, blue raspberry

    I came with my friend on a Sunday afternoon for a sweet treat. There was a really long line when we arrived. I ordered an Italian ice with watermelon, lemon, and blue raspberry. It was one of the yummiest things I've ever had! The fruity flavors tastes so delicious together! I could've happily eaten 3 more servings of my order! The service was quick, despite being stuck in a really long line. They took our orders ahead of time so it was ready by the time we got to the register. Overall, we were really happy with our experience! I can't wait to get more Italian ice!

    $6.10 for one scoop of ice cream (Oreo cookie) and waffle cone

    This time around I'll need to serve a 1 star to this well situated ice cream joint. The ice cream had no flavour except for the flavour of the fridge - you know when you leave things uncovered in the fridge and it develops the flavour of the fridge air? - that's what I mean. I've never had bad or flavourless ice cream until now. I suppose their flavours here can either be a hit or a miss and vary on freshness. The waffle cone was also the worst I've ever had. It also tasted like nothing - not even sweet. No buttery or saltiness to it (which you can tell by the light color of the cone) and made with no love. Waffle cones are supposed to taste like brown sugar and a little bit buttery. Service was quick. Ambience nothing to comment on since it's a take out place.

    I drove out to Revere beach on a whim as I had some free time before catching my flight back home from Boston. I was craving ice cream and found Twist & Shake right on the beach. The server was very helpful and whipped me up a delicious blueberry and cheesecake swirl soft serve, which I enjoyed on their outdoor patio seating while watching the ocean! I recommend this place!

    If you happen to be at Revere Beach and you're craving something cold and sweet, you have to make a pit stop here! They have a wide selection of menu items (ice cream, sundaes, frappes, etc.) but if you order ice cream, I recommend you go for the waffle cone. You won't regret it!

    Nice staff, delicious flavors, they pile on toppings, and good portion sizes. Favorite ice cream place in Revere without a doubt.

The strawberry ice cream was rich, creamy, and full of real flavor with chunks of cookies throughout that gave the perfect texture and sweetness balance. You would never guess it was vegan. Now let's talk about that waffle cone -- fresh-made, warm, crisp around the edges, and smelling like pure happiness the moment it hit the table. That cone alone deserves its own review! The atmosphere was fun, colorful, and inviting, making the entire experience feel like a sweet little escape. Vegan desserts can sometimes miss the mark, but this place absolutely nailed it. A perfect treat for dairy-free customers and ice cream lovers alike. 10/10!

The…read moreflavors are creative, the texture is rich and creamy, and everything has that upscale, boutique feel. You can tell they are going for a higher end ice cream experience, with organic ingredients, homemade style flavors, and fancy names that make it feel a little more elevated than your average scoop shop. That said, this is definitely a place where you need to bring your wallet. The ice cream is very good, but paying around $12 for one scoop is hard not to notice. At that price point, it starts to feel like you are paying for the brand, the Seaport location, and the trendy presentation just as much as the ice cream itself. The product is strong, and I would not say it is disappointing by any means. It is actually really enjoyable. But it is also the kind of place where you walk out thinking, "That was great, but wow, that was expensive." For a casual ice cream stop, the pricing feels a bit over the top. Overall, Van Leeuwen is worth trying if you are in the area and want a quality dessert. The ice cream is excellent, the flavors are fun, and it feels like a nice treat. Just do not go in expecting a bargain. Great ice cream, but absolutely bring your wallet.
