Step back in time to the ice cream shop where Jan and Marsha worked on that unforgettable episode of the Brady Bunch. Cabot's is a wonderful blast from the past. Last night, we were craving ice cream and checked out what Phantom Gourmet had to say... Cabot's was listed as a hidden gem, and while the crowds would indicate otherwise, it is indeed a gem. While the service was fine - nothing special - the high school students and grandmas running the show did lack the grumpiness and attitude so prevalent at establishments within Boston proper. The ice cream and frozen yogurt menu overwhelmed us with its enormous selection of ice creams, hot toppings, cold toppings, and mix-ins. How is one to decide between the infinite combinations or even the delectable choices they've already figured out for you? Needless to say, our huge sundaes were phenomenal. Creamy, decadent ice cream, fabulous toppings. What more could you want? For an all around great time, fill your belly up at Cabot's. I can't wait to go back. It may not be as trendy or as supposedly unique as local chains like JP Licks or Emack & Bolio's but boy does this place make up for it in how wonderful it is all around.
Pros: Infinite choices of ice cream treats
Cons: Too hard to choose just one thing!
