Christina's Ice Cream: Serving Top Scoops in Cambridge Since 1983

On a brutally hot summer day in Cambridge, I wasn’t just looking for relief from the heat. I was searching for something worth discussing. That’s what brought me to Christina’s Ice Cream in Inman Square, a neighborhood spot locals have loved since 1983. I’d heard the name before, but I had no idea just how far they take their flavor game.

A flavor list that reads like a science experiment—but works. Walk into Christina’s, and you’ll see the wall that makes this place famous. We’re talking more than just cookies and cream or chocolate chip. Flavors like adzuki bean, cocovado, khulfi, and guatemalan coffee sit right alongside more traditional picks like vanilla, chocolate mousse, and mint oreo.

It’s like an ice cream lab that somehow gets it right every time. One flavor stopped me in my tracks: fresh rose. I’d never tasted anything like it. The first spoonful was floral, smooth, and strangely refreshing. It’s the kind of flavor that sounds odd but ends up being your new favorite.

Other standouts include white coffee, maple walnut, orange chocolate, Kahlua, and even Biscoff. And if you’re skipping dairy, their sorbets such as mango, lemon, and passion fruit are just as bold. Christina’s doesn’t just offer variety. They offer an experience that’s hard to find anywhere else.

This is what makes a neighborhood feel like home. Places like Christina’s are what give Cambridge its character. It’s not about trends or flashy storefronts. It’s about real places with real history, doing something unique. Whether you’re new to the area or thinking about making a move, these are the small details that help you feel connected.

I work with buyers and sellers all over Cambridge and Greater Boston, and one of the first things people ask about is the neighborhood vibe. Christina’s is a perfect example of what makes this area feel so alive. If you want a place that offers more than just a roof over your head, let’s talk. I can help you explore homes in neighborhoods where places like this are part of everyday life.
