Abbott’s Frozen Custard
There may be more ice outside than we care to admit, but if you still crave a creamy treat with no ice in it, there is a great place to go in the Boston area- Abbott’s Frozen Custard.
Based in Rochester, NY (where they know from ice and snow), Abbott’s has been dishing out the smoothest, most satisfying frozen treats for over 50 years. Among its 40 locations are two in Brighton and Needham, both of which draw visitors from all over New England. An with good reason! In addition to the signature custard (which adds egg yolks to the locally-sourced, slow-mixed recipe to make a thicker and smoother treat with fewer ice crystals), Abbott’s offers custard turtles and some of the best milkshakes ever spun by hand. They also make amazing cakes (including my daughter’s artistic and hugely popular birthday cake) and novelties like the custard cannoli.
In order to bring their far-flung customers back for the snowy season, Abbott’s is offering their famous eggnog, gingerbread, butterscotch, peppermint twist and pumpkin flavors, all of which are perfect for parties or just to enjoy on their own.
