Christina's Homemade Ice Cream

Such good and homemade ice cream! I went there several times during my stay and tried a different flavour each time, it never disappoints, and the portions are quite big. They have classic flavours as well as special ones. I like how the place looks, kind of traditional and not the typical ice cream shop.Food: 5/5

This is where all the locals go to get their ice cream fix. They have a very wide selection of ice cream flavors, including some very fun specialty flavors. Yes sometimes there is a line but it’s for a very good reason, it’s worth the wait. My favorite time to go is during lunch break for a mid day treat!

Recommended highly, but disappointed. 1. Question: Is it under new ownership? 2. No tables at which to sit and eat. The only seating were rather dirty wooden PEWS along the wall. 3. Maybe it was the flavors I chose - - Buttered Almond and French Vanilla - - but - - nothing to write home about. 4. Yes - - fair pricing. 5. Whole place could us a cleaning and a coat of fresh, bright paint.

One of the oldest and most popular icecream parlour around Boston

This place has delicious ice cream! I got the coconut and chocolate peanut butter. The atmosphere is a bit lacking but the quality of the ice cream is worth a visit!

Pretty good ice cream in a great location - Inman Square. They offer some exotic flavors like mango and azduki beans. Ice cream quality is pretty good.

Came to Christina's with high expectations based on the reviews I read and what I heard from folks. While they did not live up to the hype, I will still say it was a good ice cream experience. SETTING: The place is not as nice as Toscanini's or JP Lick's. Whereas those are modern-looking, this one has definitely seen better years. That's not to say that it's a bad thing, I definitely respect a place that has stood the test of time and looks like it as Christina's does. Be forewarned that the place smells strongly of spices I sense a strong hit of turmeric which is quite different from a typical ice cream shop that smells like, well, ice cream. I didn't love sitting inside because of that. ICE CREAM: Something that sets this place apart is the unique flavors. One of my favorite desserts of all time is carrot cake and they have a carrot cake flavor which I of course got. I also tried their chocolate banana as it made me think of a Diana banana. The ice cream was good but not the best I've had. I love that the carrot cake has raisins in it which adds textural contrast. It definitely tasted like carrot cake! The chocolate banana ice cream had a very strong banana flavor, I wish it was a bit stronger on the chocolate than it was. Something to be noted is that the value here is better than at the above-mentioned shops so definitely good for some less expensive ice cream. I would love to come back to try some of their more creative flavors like Burnt Sugar which everyone seems to be raving about.

Yummy ice cream! Big range of flavors with some fro yo and sorbet options as well. There were good social distancing practices inside and some reserved street space outside where you can spread out and eat while standing.

With a sister shop that sells exotic spices, how could Christina's possibly go wrong? The flavor list may have you thinking that you've entered Willy Wonka's magical laboratory, where lines cease to exist between dinner and dessert. Take a taste of the Kaffir Lime, Cinnamon Rice Pudding, or Thai Basil ice creams and you will see just how beautifully those lines can be torn down.

Lots of interesting flavors and options. Really liked the matcha green tea ice cream because it was rich and not too sweet. The khulfi ice cream was interesting with lots of pistachios. But the waffles were not my favorite, they were too crunchy.
