    I’m a bit biased, but Slush King in East Boston is pretty damn perfect. It’s just an old school takeout window/walk-up. Nothing over the top. Exactly what you need at a reasonable price.

    Otherwise, Cabot’s in Newton is the gold standard. It’s what movie set designers imagine when a director says “ice cream parlor”. (I haven’t been since it got new owners though).

    Toscanini’s for ‘fancy’ ice cream. Their B3 flavor is a favorite.

      I don’t get what’s supposed to be so fancy about Toscanini’s. It’s just ice cream.

        “Just ice cream” is chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and a few others with sprinkles, banana/fruit and whipped cream as add ons. The classics.

        Toscanini’s does stuff like goat cheese honey with brownie, mai tai, etc. It’s a more complex flavor profile and has prices that reflect that.

        🤷
