Gracie's Ice Cream

The ice cream at Gracie’s was very underwhelming unfortunately. The staff were lovely, but the ice cream just wasn’t great in my opinion. I tried 4 different flavours: the ginger, the heath bar, the pandan, and the black raspberry chip. All 4 flavours were much too sweet in my opinion, except the ginger which had a nice kick to counterbalance the sweetness. Ice cream is supposed to be sweet, but sugar shouldn’t be the main flavour. I could barely taste the chocolate or toffee in the Heath bar scoop. The raspberry with chocolate was so sweet it was hard to finish. Lastly, I think they maybe didn’t store the ice cream at a cold enough temperature because it was very soft and melting very quickly. I would have liked a thicker, creamer texture, which would last a bit longer. Maybe this was

One of my favorite local ice cream shop with fun and creative flavors. For years, Gracie’s, along with its sister shop Christina’s, has been my go-to spots for ice cream in Somerville. Known for its imaginative and frequently rotating flavors, Gracie's offers a unique experience that stands out from other local ice cream shops. My personal favorites include unique flavors like Honey Corn Bread and Carrot Cake. The Honey Corn Bread, in particular, is perhaps my all-time favorite. It really captures the essence of the actual corn bread in a creamy, frozen form. While I do agree with some of my friends saying that the texture of Gracie’s Ice cream isn’t the best, it still has a solid firmness with just the right level of creaminess. They also offer ice cream pies with Oreo crusts, a decade

We had a lot of fun with the ice cream advent calendar this year. Great way to sample a bunch of flavors! Red raspberry cookie dough and black raspberry chip were our favorites!

May 2024: Staff excellent, cones excellent, ice cream excellent. It was smooth and the fluff cones is what i recommended with any of your ice cream flavors. Sprinkles are free and a cute addition for extra color. I had cookies and cream which was rich and you could tell it was in house made. Two hard workers were holding it down and they did an amazing job.

Ice creams that has great flavor at low prices, but a texture that felt off. You also don't get to sample and see the flavors and are forced to order online (as of 6/12/22). So if you are a regular it is great but I struggle to recommend it. The texture reminded me of ice cream that uses milk powder to get richness. Such ice cream usually splits easily with a spoon in a rough manner (happened for both flavors I got) unlike the smooth surface after each spoon.
