Forge Ice Cream - Somerville

Really nice ice cream! It has a thick, sticky texture. Only issue was that my malted vanilla came out a little soupy, as though it’d been melting for a while when they brought it out to me. I also wish they didn’t close at 5, which is unusual hours for an ice cream shop and means you can’t go in the evening.

The ice cream is exquisitely fluffy light and creamy.

So happy we stumbled on this hidden gem. Cute retro decor, simple but exceptional flavors, amazing ice cream and floats. I had a nitro coffee ice cream float that blew me away.

I can only speak to the ice cream, I have yet to try anything from the cafe/bakery. If you're looking for unique flavors are or lots of choices, go elsewhere. They have a small selection with mostly standard flavors, and the most adventurous I could get was malted vanilla. That said, it was excellent. The flavor was great, but the texture is what got me. It's the very stretchy, chewy style, and you can almost shape it by hand like a Turkish ice cream. Prices are typical, maybe you get a bit less ice cream than most, but it is dense. Overall, not my favorite place, but definitely in the top tier.

Great place, my husband loves the shakes here but his only complaint is that the straws are too thin. They need some McDonalds type straws lol.
