Best homemade ice cream ever. They are located near the chocolate factory on Dorchester Avenue. Absolutely love their vegan ice cream. They make a new flavor about every week and a half. Lots of dairy flavors with all the candy sides! It’s a very small establishment best for parties of two or three people. sometimes I take my ice cream and sit outside on the bench that they have there.

When I first went to this place, the air and feeling of this place was nice. Its small but is still a great place to hangout with a friend or two for ice cream. Surprisingly, it was a bit crowded when I got there at around 8 pm. The staff working there was very fast and efficient at their job. They were also nice too. I got sweet cream with Reese's mix ins and it was SO good. You could chose any mix ins you want in the list as well which is pretty cool.The texture and taste of the ice cream was delicious and the Reese's added a great touch of flavor. It just left me wanting more even though I already had a good amount of ice cream. I really recommend coming here for some excellent ice cream with a fair price!

Great ice cream shop. Good service, very fresh batches! They mix ins toppings for you so they don’t just sit on top. Their regular flavors, monthly flavors, and one batch Wednesday flavors are always so good!! Had to stock up on this one batch horchata flavor, it was amazing!

I love places like this. The Ice Creamsmith has clearly been an institution for longer than I have been alive, with pictures and news clippings decorating the walls from long before I was born. Their ice cream is all made in house, which we sampled pure to check its quality before ordering. I am a big fan any time the staff gets to share their favorites, so I had to get one of those reccomendations. It just so happened that after picking Eric's reccomended vanilla malt milkshake that we found out Eric himself would be the one to make it for us. I can confidently say the milkshake was delicious, and that I only wished that I had had more to drink of it despite its large size (this is more of a testament to how good it was). I think this is the kind of locally owned place with high quality product and enthusiastic staff that is worth going out of your way to visit.

The ice cream is always made fresh since June 1976. Get there early because they are known to sell out of some flavors. This just makes you try another flavor, and next thing you know, you have a new favorite.

Always a fun selection of flavors and family owned and operated! They give back to the local community throughout the year. We love teaming up with them for our summertime Cavity Free Club! They’re like the Mike’s Pastry of Lower Mills! Open late in the summer perfect for a dessert after dinner!
