The Story
Cabot's is Boston's suburban ice cream cathedral: red vinyl booths, a menu the size of a newspaper, and sundaes that arrive under a snowdrift of whipped cream. Finish one solo and the staff will nod respectfully.

Highly recommend. They have the biggest diner and ice cream menu I have ever seen, coming from the midwest. Our food was fresh and delicious. We had the wraps, burger and chicken salad. Ice cream options were endless. Service was fast, although seating is limited based on its popularity.

Cabot’s Ice Cream in Newtonville, MA is one of those classic Boston-area dessert spots known for generous sundaes, creamy ice cream, and a nostalgic neighborhood ice cream parlor experience. We stopped by while exploring Newtonville and tried a couple of their desserts. The portions were honestly impressive for the price. For about $7.50 you get two scoops of ice cream topped with whipped cream, a cherry, and one topping of your choice, which makes it a really great value. If you order the regular size, you get three scoops of ice cream, which is even more generous. One thing we really appreciated was the large selection of eggless ice cream options, making it easier for vegetarians to enjoy dessert here. There are also so many flavors to choose from, and the ice cream itself is incredibly creamy and rich. The coffee ice cream was especially delicious with a deep, smooth flavor that really stood out. We also ordered the nachos, which were surprisingly great as well and made a nice savory option before diving into dessert. Overall, Cabot’s feels like a hidden gem in Newtonville if you’re looking for a classic ice cream shop with big portions and great flavors. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in the Newton or Boston area and craving a proper sundae. We also shared our visit on Instagram @bostonvegeats where we highlight vegetarian-friendly spots around Boston. Tip: If you visit, bring friends because the portions are generous.

Amazing! The staff is very friendly and so patient when responding to any questions if you having a difficult time deciding because everything looks delicious. The portions are generous, the place does look always packed but its worth waiting a couple minutes to be able to have a sit down experience, recommend the waffle sundae
