"yummy ice cream, lots of options for sizes, clearly displayed prices, good customer service- all 5 stars from me(this review is based on my experience a few years ago before I moved away and back.. I'm going to have to revisit ASAP to see if anythings changed!"
"Great Thai food - I had to exercise some serious restraint to not finish my green curry because I wanted a portion for leftovers for the next day. The inside is not very big so if you don't want to wait for a table, suggest coming during the early hours. We tried the corn cake as an appetizer. It was pretty good, though the individual corn nuggets got stuck in my back molars. Loved the spicy peanut dipping sauce that came with it. My green curry was seriously one of the best iterations of the dish I've had in a while. Good coconut flavor, packed with veggies (eggplant, string bean, carrot, zucchini), and the tofu I ordered as a protein soaked up so much of the flavor. They offer lunch/dinner portions for the curries. I picked mild for spiciness because I'm a total wimp and it was still pretty spicy for me (so just know their "regular" may actually be quite a kick). The pepper signs on the menu are pretty accurate. I also can't pass up homemade ice creams, especially with black sesame as an option. It nailed the black sesame flavor (i.e., not too sweet) but the texture was a bit too icy and hard to spoon. Next time, I may skip the ice creams and save the stomach room for more of the appetizers/entrees. Next time: the tom yum noodle soup, the crab fried rice. Parking: street options available."
""Yeehaw" was the first word that popped in my head when I walked into this establishment! this has a nice western theme to it and they have a great selections of burgers in terms of meat Angus ,grass fed,impossible burger. I really enjoyed my Angus burger with Swiss cheese and onions, and I literally woofed it down they also had the fresh sweet potato fries, but next time I'm gonna try the hand cut regular fries because this is what they're known for. I also had their freshly orange spritzer. So refreshing! I will definitely come back here again."
"Absolutely loved this place! I came on a weeknight and it was pretty busy, so be warned. They have a decent amount of seating, but since the shop is located in a nice area, you could always take it to go, maybe even to the rose garden nearby.So many fun choices for ice cream. We decided we wanted to try all 4 main flavors so we got swirls for both! Everything was delicious, including the cones. Highly recommend stopping by if you're into matcha or hojicha!"
"The ice cream isn't cheap, but it's good! The coffee was very strongly and well flavored, and the ice cream was definitely on the chewy side, but in a pleasant way. There were a few small lumps, which kept it from being a full five stars, but definitely worth a stop!"
"This was a very cute and interesting place serving New Zealand style ice cream. There are kiosks in the back of the place where you can customize your order. They gave options of different fruits to blend and different bases to choose from. After you order, they would call you up when your order is ready. This type of ice cream isn't my style but it's definitely worth a try. It is definitely a cute place and there is plenty of seating available both inside and outside the place."
"The ice cream here is amazing, creamy with a light flavor. My family of 6 all enjoyed the flavors we chose. Kids loved the fluff cones (coated with marshmallow fluff). Small interior, so it's a bit tight inside when there is a line. Outdoor seating only. The ladies who helped us were nice. Can get Gracie's merch as well. Don't pay attention to the negative reviews--they all seem to be from Covid times."

Favorite froyo spot in Cambridge/Boston area due to the froyo's consistency and tart flavoring (not too sweet). I always go for the original with strawberries as it's the most consistent and has good yogurt flavor. Lower in calories and sugar than regular ice cream so not as much of a guilty feeling when eating. Fairly efficient for a small place, and they offer pup cups too. My dog loves to come for her own froyo.

What a great find! Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, Cha Yen Thai Cookery was a nice surprise! Great Service and Hospitality; Great (authentic) Food! Highly recommended!Note that this is a rather small restaurant. We were shocked that my party got the last table for 3 on a late Tuesday evening! We didn't expect it to be so busy at 8pm. They also do a bustling takeout service!On this evening, the 3 of us each chose an entree each and dined family style:- Roti ($6.50): a large roti was cut into 8 pcs, and served with a chicken peanut sauce. This was a very good dish; just wish there were a tad bit more chicken peanut sauce though.- Larb Salad w.Pork ($9.75): the portion size was huge and the Larb was tasty! - Green Curry w.Chicken ($16): this dish came with a bowl of jasmine rice. This was a good dish but I wish the chicken wasn't all white meat. The chicken was a little overcooked and hard. I think dark meat would have been more tender and moist. However, the green curry was very good.- Short Ribs Curry ($19): this dish came with a bowl of jasmine rice. Hands down, this was the best dish of the night. GET THIS!!! It was so unusual to see Short Ribs in a Thai Restaurant. What a pleasant surprise! There were 4 large pcs of short ribs, which were very tender. Great flavor and just delicious. A Must Have Dish!If I'm ever back in the neighborhood, I look forward to a return visit! What a hidden gem!

The food here so good, the burgers, they have the best chili from anywhere that I've ever eaten. They make it with steak instead of ground beef, it has this little kick of spice to it. I'm craving it just talking about it right now. It's a cool little spot but I have plenty of seating they serve beer and you pretty much really can get anything here oh my God they're fries. I'm so distracted just thinking about all the food I don't even know how I'm writing this. I definitely recommend 10 out of 10

Love this place if we are in the area, usually end up having to double park as an actual parking spot seems pretty hard to find but a handful of spots at the beginning of the block.The service is always quick, staff is nice and we tend to lean toward matcha waffle cones with Ube ice cream and different toppings each time. Condensed milk alone when I'm feeling simple or add some fruity cereal or mochi bits when i want some more depth. Very refreshing on a hot day. I couldn't find my photos too many to scroll back thru but will update again if i find them.There's seating inside, bathroom with lock code you can get from the staff and overall clean spot!

Ask for ice cream flavors before deliberating based on the menu, as it was not up to date. I only got ice cream here as there were slim pickings left for baked goods by 3:30pm. It was $5.50 for 1 scoop and I think $6.75 for 2 ample scoops. The cinnamon and especially the pumpkin caramel were both less sweet than expected. The pumpkin didn't taste caramel-y at all, more like pumpkin from a can or a very mildly sweetened pumpkin pie. Not my favorite ice cream. The texture was a strange mix of sticky and just on the edge of icy. I would not call it creamy. Still, that didn't stop me from finishing my 2 scoops. It's very spacious inside with lots of seats though most were taken. You can watch them bake through a wide window. I liked browsing their selection of plants and cool wood and ceramic pots & holders.

We had far out today after dinner for the first time and we really enjoyed it!! I had the raspberry mudslide and it was delicious! My only complaint is all of our cones were broken on the bottom and though the ice cream doesn't melt super fast, it does eventually start to leak so good to look out of that! Otherwise the people behind the counter were nice and it was mostly clean, very well lit, and not too loud.

Big fan of Gracie's! I'd been to Earnest Drinks in the Kendall Square area before, which actually serves ice cream from Gracie's, so I knew it must be legit. The benefit of Earnest is that they have much more seating and the vibes are cooler, but Gracie's does the trick too!I actually went to Gracie's right after Somerville Porchfest, so it was pretty busy, but I don't think it's usually that hectic. Since it was so crowded, we didn't bother to stick around and just took our ice cream to go. My favorite part about this place is the interesting flavors. Go for the pandan, which has a nice nuttiness to it. I would recommend!

"Went on a whim after dinner and it was quiet when we walked in but with a single staff and a DoorDash order and another group to order got busy/tight in the space fast. The staff handled it well though and the Sundae was delicious."
"Hubby and stopped in for a quick bite before we had a day of site seeing.The owner was so welcoming and helpful when choosing something from the menu. Speaking of the menu, there were so many options to choose from. He was happy to accommodate me with switching out bread and condiments.What I noticed was the owner treated everyone the same when they walked the door, with his welcoming smile and ready to take an orderWe left full, happy and with a promise to return when we come back to Boston."
"My favorite place for Thai tea! The staff is always friendly and accommodating with my orders."
"Andalus is a solid spot for take out or a very casual dine in (I'd recommend taking out though). The pizza is not fancy, it's not artisanal, it's not trying to be anything except, good, solid take-out pizza. And I respect that. I'm not saying that you should go out of your way to get Andalus pizza. But if you're in the area, and want a pie, this should be your spot. The last thing I'll say is that I came here on a Friday night once and knew that I was driving to Vermont early the next morning. There was a major snowstorm, and my car was parked around the corner, so I asked the dude working if I could borrow a shovel. He was like: "Absolutely my friend!". He even asked if I needed any help shoveling out my car. What a guy. That's pretty much the best you can hope for from a neighborhood pizza joint. Andalus, I salute you."
"Shocking to find such smooth, delicious gelato at a very inexpensive price. Try the amaretto!"
"I can't speak to the drinks but I love the flight of ice cream deal they had! So worth it. It was 13 dollars for SIX scoops of Gracie's ice cream! Loved all the flavors we got - coffee, cookies and cream, pandan, ube, sweet cream, strawberry.The service is slow during the day (he is by himself during the day time) but I very much respect how hard the guy works. He bartends, is the cash register, cooks the food, and scoops the ice cream. What a trooper. Even though he was so busy, he was very friendly."
"The female employee was extremely kind and welcoming! We tried their peanut butter and cookie dough ice cream and they were both delicious!! I wish the peanut butter cups weren't as hard though!"
"I've been wanting to try this place, and I'm glad I was able to stop in. So many interesting flavors, but I had to go with the salted caramel. Sweet and salty with a smooth consistency. It fulfilled my ice cream craving and was wishing I got a bigger size! Check this place out if you are in the Cambridge area!"
