Very good selection of smoothies and ice cream. Have to take two stars off because the spoons for the nice cream bend like those used by Uri Geller (remember…).
They could work for Italian gelato, but it is a real fight when they serve you ice cream… not fun.

Wow… bad. My friend and I came in today looking for a smoothie and ice cream… I wanted a smoothie but the guy working there who was void of ANY personality informed me they were out of «pretty much everything» for the smoothie I wanted… so I got a cup of ice cream instead, except the fact that the ice cream was old and had freezer burn… you know I never got the hype with this place… and this just sealed the deal for me… maybe other locations are better but this place SUUUUCKS…

This place is pretty darn tasty. I like the fruity pebbles cones and their super sweet flavors. It is a tad expensive though.

This place had a decent range of ice cream flavors, but found myself wishing there were still more options though. I do give them credit for having unique flavors like grasshopper pie, «heaven», «peppermint patty, etc. I got the grasshopper icecream and it was exactly what I was hoping for though, with the perfect amount of oreo mixed in with chocolatechips, and a creamy icecream. Will come back to try out their other flavors.

This place reminds me of Ben & Jerry’s. Fun ice cream flavors that are heavy on the add ins. I got the «Heaven» ice cream which was quite tasty– vanilla ice cream with marshmallow swirl and white chocolate chips.
However, I can’t give it four stars because my sugar cone tasted like the time I got a stale fortune cookie from a Chinese restaurant. Imagine the oil in the cone going rancid, making it taste slightly off. Sigh.: (Next time I’ll have to try one of their waffle cones– I bet they’re fresh, and there was one coated in rice krispy treat that looked pretty good.

Yes its tiny and yes its November so why am i wrting now about Ice Cream. Well I LIVE HERE in brookline and its my local fav. Yes J P’s are loacal also but Emack has what i think a better richer tasting Ice cream and the best frappé around I would say a 5 star exect tough parking and very small so it can get busy easy.
The people who work there are usually YOUNGER and have great attitude!

I believe this is the incorrect address for the 1663 Beacon St. E&B, but nevertheless, a slam dunk when it comes to ice cream. Did you SEE the cone pic!

Well, 33 years between visits hardly ranks me as a loyal customer but on my second visit to Emack & Bolios at least my memory hasn’t faded since the ice cream and assorted decadent toppings were as I remembered. My first visit during grad school was in Porter Square, this time I visited the Brookline location. The store front is nothing fancy just a very basic space with a few chairs.
The ice cream is smooth, rich and filling. Carmel and peanut butter topped with peanut butter cup bits was excellent although I needed a one mile walk to recover from the experience. While 33 years ago I could put down a gallon of ice cream without a thought, this last visit made me realize smaller is better for me. I will go the really small size on my 3rd visit in 2043.

This ice cream is pretty good, and will do the trick, but I prefer so many other local shops to this chain. Come here if you are nearby and in a pinch for a cold treat.
The chocolate flake is a great choice, and I would say the best flavor I’ve had here is cake batter.

Great ice cream — unique creative flavors — good hot fudge (subjective of course, but I still think JP Lick’s has best hot fudge).
Nice variety for those of us that prefer low fat ice cream or frozen hard yogurt or even sugar free. However, simply wonderful [full fat] ice cream as well of course. No matter what you try here, it’s excellent.
Newbury Str and Fenway locations as well. Must go when in Boston.

I will admit they have really good ice cream. My favorite flavor is heaven which is this white chocolate icecream. Super yummy!
The bad thing about this place is the customer service. Sometimes when I need a pick me up at work I go here for ice cream. The staff never greets anyone evn though ur like the onli 1 in the store. I mean I have to greet them to get their attention. Most of the time this place is empty so the staff gets bored and tlks on the phone I get it but at least u can hold ur convo and take my order it take 2 mins. No no the dude has me
WAITING at least 8 mins until he is done with his convo. Like I dnt think ur job is paying u to tlk on the phone.
Anyways beside the poor customer service it’s pretty good.

yummmmOOO! honestly, to be fair, this is really a solid 3.5
man you thought the newbury location was tiny, this is even TINIER!!! how is that possible? i have no freakkin clue. however, their ice cream is just as delicious :9
it is a bit on the sweet side. friends got caramel pecan and caramel something else, and the caramel flavored ice creams are really really über caramely, but ohhh sooo gooooddddd… i got one scoop of the green monster pie ice cream (mint chocolate chip with oreo chunks!!) and ohhhh mann…
but the prices are a bit steep for one scoop of ice cream — 3.68 $ for one scoop! wtf???
