Unique ice cream flavors & blowtorch-toasted cones with toppings
"Nick Ladin-Sienne—originally a cook turned lawyer turned ice cream vendor—plans to move from pop-up status to a permanent shop in East Somerville in late spring or early summer, expanding beyond the cult-favorite intricate seasonal flavors that built the following (examples include Coffee and Dessert, a Broadsheet coffee custard mixed with banana, clove, and cinnamon, and Something Pink, a raspberry gelato paired with sweetened condensed milk infused with smoked star anise). The shop will sell ice cream and expand the menu to include coffee and other food; in the meantime, Ladin-Sienne is previewing savory and daytime menu items with a March pop-up at Cambridge coffee shop–slash–wine bar Tilde." - Erika Adams
"At Gracie’s, only a handful of flavors remain consistently available (like black raspberry chip), but otherwise the sky’s the limit — think cucumber lime mint sorbet, garlic, ube, or, best of all, Gronk Smash (peanut butter ice cream, potato chips, pretzels, Kit Kats, peanuts, and chocolate chips). You’ll also find treats like Pop-Tarts ice cream sandwiches, ice cream pies, and even ice cream flights so you don’t miss out on any of the wild, compelling flavors." - Nathan Tavares
"Earnest Drinks, the Kendall Square cocktail bar that is hidden inside Somerille’s Gracie’s Ice Cream, will happily spike its hot chocolate — a blend of hot fudge and milk — with whiskey, rye, rum, brandy, or amaro, adding another layer of warmth to your treat. Bonus, you can pick up some ice cream to take home." - Eater Staff
"Somerville ice cream shop Gracie’s has expanded to Cambridge, and the newer location includes a robust array of boozy and non-boozy beverages. There are adult frappes and floats aplenty: a pandan whiskey frappe, a lambrusco float, an ube coconut rum frappe, and even a build-your-own option. You could, for example, order Twinkies ‘n jam ice cream blended with rum, rainbow sprinkles, and Fritos. Choose your own adventure wisely." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"At Union Square’s ice cream shop Gracie’s, Fluff-dipped cones are always on the menu and likely pair well with current flavors such as black raspberry Oreo, piña colada, and more. Chocolate marshmallow scoops and pints are also available for the festival, as well as “one or two more fluffy flavors,” per a recent Union Square Main Streets newsletter. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Somerville Community Fridge. Order online for pickup." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
