Christina's Homemade Ice Cream — Restaurant in Cambridge

Came to Christina's with high expectations based on the reviews I read and what I heard from folks. While they did not live up to the hype, I will still say it was a good ice cream experience.

SETTING: The place is not as nice as Toscanini's or JP Lick's. Whereas those are modern-looking, this one has definitely seen better years. That's not to say that it's a bad thing, I definitely respect a place that has stood the test of time and looks like it (as Christina's does). Be forewarned that the place smells strongly of spices (I sense a strong hit of turmeric) which is quite different from a typical ice cream shop that smells like, well, ice cream. I didn't love sitting inside because of that.

ICE CREAM: Something that sets this place apart is the unique flavors. One of my favorite desserts of all time is carrot cake and they have a carrot cake flavor (which I of course got). I also tried their chocolate banana as it made me think of a Diana banana. The ice cream was good but not the best I've had. I love that the carrot cake has raisins in it which adds textural contrast. It definitely tasted like carrot cake! The chocolate banana ice cream had a very strong banana flavor, I wish it was a bit stronger on the chocolate than it was.

Something to be noted is that the value here is better than at the above-mentioned shops so definitely good for some less expensive ice cream.

I would love to come back to try some of their more creative flavors like Burnt Sugar (which everyone seems to be...

This Kulfi (a traditional Indian ice cream flavor) is made with pistachios and cardamom. The cardamom was overwhelming to me, but I also tried the Adzuki, Mexican hot chocolate, and Sesame ice creams, and those were alright (you are allowed two samples, which really helps choose and get excited about the unique flavors).

I ended up with coconut almond frozen yogurt instead, but even that was unique, coming from here. It was LOADED with coconut, chocolate, and almond chunks. Most frozen yogurts are not nearly as generous with their fillings.

There are no tables inside or out, so you’ll have to sit at a bench of take your food to go. I went to a park!

No stairs. Wide walkways. Easy-to-open door. Accessible by public transportation or you can drive and there is parking out front and along the adjacent streets.

The place looks like it could use some spiffing up. The exterior is quite dirty and the interior would be more inviting with tables. Years ago it was fun...
