Craziest ice cream flavors in Cambridge/Boston.. 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. 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

Rude service but great icecream!. 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!

Nice dessert after going to HAVELI. I come here for the oreo or cookie dough after a delicious dinner at Haveli across the street, if I've not already had one of their homemade desserts.
