Morris PorterFebruary 24, 2014This is a great icon of american life. Hard to go wrong - great breakfast and wonderful ice cream & frozen yogurt. No pretense here, and the service is enthusiastic and genuine...a real family feelUpvoted Sep 18
Danielle FernandezAugust 11, 2015So many options here! Lots of starters, entrées, sides, and desserts and so many toppings flavored and styles of dessert! Definitely a great place to visit more than once so that you can try it all!- Danielle FernandezAugust 11, 2015I LOVE the fried onion petals as a starter with a meal and they have great ice cream sundaes for dessert! The bacon cheeseburgers and grilled cheese with bacon are great and the fries are great! :)
- Y YAugust 2, 2017If you're craving some desserts with cloying sweetness, this is the place! Choose from 70 flavors + 35 toppings. The non-dessert foods taste average at best but I will come here again for the sundaes
- Danielle FernandezAugust 11, 2015The ice cream sundaes are AMAZING 😍 The regular size is huge and the smaller size is a regular sized sundae :) so choose which based on how much room you have left in your tummy! 🍦
We call it the Goop Store because of all the yummy marshmallow / whipped cream toppings. Great ice cream. Get a banana split, a sundae, or any of the many other great desserts.
Eugene GinzburgMarch 7, 2017Great breakfast at an old school newton diner. Plan accordingly as lines tend to be out the door on weekends and summer nights for ice cream.- Gloria ChinAugust 22, 2013get the newtonite!! 20 to 22 scoops of ice cream, pineapple sauce, strawberry sauce, coffee sauce, rum toffee, hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry for $36
Gillian SeligOctober 5, 2015Me and my friend have been going here since kindergarten and we are now much older. It is a really great place with really great people.
Orr BernsteinMarch 3, 2016Tons of awesome sundaes, ice cream bar so you can watch as they make them. Delicious!- Anita DempseyOctober 9, 2019THE Best in Town! LTO Pumpkin Pie frozen yogurt or Ice cream 🍨 Delish!!♥️
Liz KolsterApril 14, 2012Did you know you can order a drum of ice cream for your next summer party? They give you the tools to get all that serving done too!- Best place for a smile on any day, but especially the last day of school :). Good food and great sundaes!
- Try the large 3 scoop to go called the 'Candy Bar'. It's Milky Way, Mounds and Heath Bar. Yum!
This place is cash only but has great ice cream and frozen yogurt
Best ice cream, absolute worst service anywhere in the world ever. But we can't stay away cuz the ice cream is so damn good.
Be aggressive. If you don't push and shove, the legions of the self-entitled will trample you while you beg to have your order taken. Very, um, let's say, provincial.
Etan HorowitzMay 31, 2010If you're lactose intolerant you can get some delicious non dairy ice cream. You can choose from lots of flavors. I reccomend the coffee flavor.
Melinda MosesJuly 27, 2011Absolute decadent splurge - coffee almond fudge on a warm belgian waffle. nuthin on top. nuthin better!
Steve WojnarMay 31, 2010Milky Way ice cream - Wow! Not vanilla with chunks of candy bar, but nougat ice cream with ribbons of chocolate and caramel. SO good! Read more
The Death By Chocolate and Maine Black Bear ice cream are Richardsons... But for some reason they taste better here than anywhere else!
- Charles WilcoxAugust 4, 2013The omelette seemed rushed, and the short-stack was very dense. Just not what we had anticipated.
Nandanie SpahrApril 25, 2012Get graham cracker toppings on your ice cream/fro-yo. You'll enjoy that!!
christian rDecember 1, 2009Go on saturday mornings - it's more relaxed and less crowded than Sundays. Great place to take your kids.
Thaniya AmaralilitMay 13, 2010Very cute place! I had hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallow. Sugar Coma :D
Meredith KenchMarch 8, 2010Don't come on a Monday - they aren't open, but they are open the other 6 days of the week.
Loved it, hadn't been there since I was a kid in the 70's!
Rich ReaderDecember 1, 2009actually, Cabot's did me repeatedly with a the sort of lust that you can only get from a great ice cream parlor.
steve hdFebruary 3, 2013Might want to tell the waitresses to write it down, and I hope you like burnt omlettes.
