What People Are Saying About Christina's Homemade Ice Cream
The Editor
Eric Grossman

The Scene – Ice cream lovers of all stripes make their way to Christina's for a taste of one of its 40-plus homemade varieties. On busy weekend nights, lines often stretch out the door, even in December. There are only a few tables, so most patrons have to make do licking their cones on the sidewalk. Many visitors skip dessert at neighboring restaurants to come here for a sweet finish to their meal. Scoopers are helpful in explaining the many unique flavors (what is adzuki bean?). – – The Food – Sure, the chocolate and vanilla varieties are excellent, but the real draw…

Craziest ice cream flavors in Cambridge/Boston.
by hardinghouseinncambrdge at Citysearch
Bostonians consume more ice cream per capita than in any other city in America. And Christina's satisfies their frozen treat sweet tooth by offering over 50 flavors daily from a stock of over 300 varieties. Favorites include burnt caramel, adzuki bean, licorice, and orange chocolate. Owner Ray Ford draws inspiration from his spice shop next door to create other one-of-kind flavors like honey lavender, lemon-thyme, rose (made with real rose petals), and chamomile. All the ice cream is homemade, creamy, and fresh, and many diners at nearby restaurants skip dessert and wind up here to top off their meal (Christina's irresistible frozen chocolate mousse ice cream is better than any restaurant dessert). They also make crazy flavors for local eateries like Mexican avocado ice cream for nearby Ole, goat cheese ice cream for Hamersley's Bistro in Boston, and seaweed sake sorbet for the East Coast Grill.

Great Ice Cream Treat
by gripdxd at Citysearch
Homemade ice cream with interesting flavors. There were so many that captured my interest that it was hard to settle on one. I went with Banana Cinnamon, it tasted just like a muffin. They give you quite a bit as well, especially when ordering with a cone (I was surprised). It's a busy place, but the line moves along quickly. Not enough seating
- Pros: Yummy Flavors and Value
- Cons: Busy, line

Rude service but great icecream!
by narsheptha at Citysearch
The icecream was delicious and the flavors were varied and unique. However, the service was rude. The place was not busy at all and yet it took several throat-clearings and "excuse me" before any of the three employees asked us what we wanted. When I made it to the register, I had barely received my change when an employee with a broom pushed me aside and told me to move, rather than asking nicely as one would expect. I tend to like to be able to gather my things, put my change away and move away on my own before being shuffled off in such an inconsiderate fashion!
