Christina's Homemade Ice Cream

"Christina’s has been a Cambridge cornerstone for generous scoops of the creamy frozen treat since it opened in 1983. The shop is stocked with over 30 flavors, from malted vanilla and black raspberry to turmeric chai latte and ice cream made with fresh rose petals." - Nathan Tavares, Erika Adams

"Christina’s has been making ice cream in Inman Square for 40 years, and everyone — yes, even Bon Appétit — has recognized its excellence. There are lots of flavors, so making a decision is never easy. As spice connoisseurs as well (check out Christina’s spice shop a few doors down), the ice cream and spice partnership comes to life in their ice cream flavor Mexican chocolate. Give it a try, it’s divine." - Karen Wilber, Terrence Doyle

"The number of flavors at Christina’s almost equals the number of prep school graduates at Harvard and, impressively, a very high percentage of those flavors actually taste good. The coffee oreo, coconut Butterfinger, and ginger are some of our favorites." - Joel Ang

"An Inman Square hotspot since 1983, Christina’s has snapped up plenty of acclaim and awards over the years thanks to its big selection of creative flavors. Owner Raymond Ford, previously a professor of social theory, left academia and bought the shop from its previous owner in 1993. Open daily until 10:30 p.m. Note: Full-service catering is available on weekdays with three days’ notice. Sample flavors: dulce de leche, chocolate banana, herbal chai, burnt sugar, egg nog" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"And if the crisp beers weren’t enough to cool you down during your spicy treat odyssey, Christina’s Homemade Ice Cream is right down the street." - Terrence Doyle
