Not sure why I was expecting to be a little disappointed, but couldn’t have been less happy with everything. This location was slammed close to closing after a rooftop movie above let out and the staff were extremely calm and very friendly. … More

The shakes are ok, kinda warm and not cold enough. However, the ice cream is fantastic. The burgers are Great and the waffle fries are amazing. Truly surprised at how good the food was. Can’t wait to go again. The waffle fries had a mild spice that was different but great. Can’t wait to try the chicken. More

It was nice…you literally have 4 minutes to eat your soft serve before it melts all over you! I see why they have that little plate underneath. The vibe of the restaurant reminded of old school burger joints but with a modern feel. It was … More

I have had this place on my go-to list ever since I saw an old episode of "Best thing I ever ate" on the Food Network many years back, highlighting one of their ice cream cones. I finally got the chance to check them out this past Labor Day … More

Only tried the ice cream here. Both times I got the buttermint crunch on a cone and it hits every single time. It also comes with a cone protector that helps when the ice cream melts and drips so it doesn’t get all over your hand. Would … More

Great ice cream cones! Cool flavors and great ice cream for a hot day. We came at 3pm and had to wait a bit because they were busy. A little pricy but premium for the location and all the toppings. Would come back! More

Cute, fun ice cream! They're definitely pricey but worth it to eat something sweet while sitting on the pier. 7/10 sweetness. They come with a drip catcher so that was convenient. The strawberry ice cream tasted better than the banana one, in my opinion.

Fun little shop at Seaport and one of the more affordable spots at Pier 17. The burgers are tasty, but I mostly come for the ice cream. They offer seasonal flavors, and it usually doesn’t get too crowded. Plus, the views around here are beautiful. More

Walked in here for the first time. Ended up dining in. The experience was okay. Food was freshly made upon ordering, and their ice-cream is delicious. If you have a sweet tooth this place is great to try! Pricey but worth a try. More
