I’ve tried a few places on my day trips. Toscanini’s was great, but the serving size was underwhelming for the price. New City Microcreamery was similar quality/portions and basically right next door.

I went a bit out of my way on my last trip to try Matcha Cafe Maiko. They have tea-flavor soft serve and I loved that. I also liked Taiyaki NYC with the taiyaki cones. But it did feel far more corporate than I expected, even for a place with locations in multiple cities.

My next trip out I want to try Far Out for New Zealand style ice cream. That’s something I really want to try.

New City Microcreamery - Central Square

Toscanini’s - Central Square

FoMu - Fenway (non-dairy)

The Ice Creamsmith in Lower Mills.

scoop n scootery - can be a bit pricey, but I was addicted to it for like 2 weeks

new city microcreamery - some fun and different than usual flavors

taiyaki nyc - “prettiest” looking ice cream, also unique. also the vegan lemon & strawberry is so good

I like Gracie’s in Union square. Used to live close to there

It’s probably out of the way for what people consider ‘Boston’, but Delini Gelato in West Rox is some of the best gelato I’ve EVER had.

The owner uses nothing but real, fresh ingredients, and it’s just incredible. I live close to JP Licks in JP and go out of my way to to Delini instead.

And I really like JP Licks FWIW
