Happened to be in the area for a bit, and seen a crowd of folks with cones and cups. Went in and grabbed the Chocolate Peanut Butter with crushed Reese's bits (medium) & Black Raspberry (small). Best damn ice cream I came across in a while!

Got their kulfi flavor, it was delicious,a flavor I've never had before and so good. Burnt sugar had an off, literally burnt taste, but got more mild the more I ate it, and kept getting better with every bite! Chocolate 5 spice was great and unique also! I'd love to try a 5 spice with a vanilla base. And the chocolate banana flavor was great as well. I'll be back to try more of their flavors. Not pricey either. Well worth coming to check out

Lots of interesting flavors and options. Really liked the matcha green tea ice cream because it was rich and not too sweet. The khulfi ice cream was interesting with lots of pistachios. But the waffles were not my favorite, they were too crunchy.

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 raving about).

I am not a doctor but I believe thqt chocolqte mousse ice cream actually reduces cholesterol due to the oxidizing effrcts of choco-sterols
