    Three twist soft serves with various flavors!
    Betsy J.

    So this isn't an old time-y ice cream shoppe, but it doesn't matter to me when I get my hands on the ice cream! I have loved Richardson's ice cream for decades, and I am so glad that this local place carries it. All my favorite flavors from the original farm are available right here around the corner. Not only that, they do a great job with their soft serve twists as well. You can choose any flavors you want! And there are plenty of flavors to choose from. *I should reduce stars because their delivery car makes it too convenient for me to consume unnecessary amounts of ice cream.

    This place is adorable. If your looking to go get some icy treats without the big franchise store feel go here. The vibe is very old fashioned. It's a family style place with lots of choices like ice cream, sorbet, Richie's slush, frappes, sundaes and smoothies. The list of flavors is huge. The nice girl at the counter let me sample a couple flavors. I wanted something different so tried the strawberry cheesecake and turtle ice cream. It was a tough decision but I went with the turtle that was a vanilla overflowing with chocolate chunks and caramel swirls. My boyfriends sorbet was excellent. It was loaded with fresh fruit. The inside has a mom and pop type feel with hand painted murals and colorful walls. The ice cream is from Richardson's and another local creamery. Absolutely delicious. Prices were reasonable. The small for $3.50 is more like a large so consider sharing. They also have a one scoop size for $2.50. The place has a few tables to eat inside or take it down the street and sit by the beach. There is another location on Revere Beach. I'll be back for more on a hot summer day.

    Most places sell frappes that are glorified chocolate milk but not this place. Frappes here are delicious and hit the spot.

    After running Deer Island a few times in the sweltering heat, I treated myself to a soft serve and cold bottle of water at Twist & Shake.

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.
