Cold Comfort

A cool treat so rich you'll forget ice cream ever existed

T

he coconut gelato at Bon Bon explodes on your palate in a velvety coconut cloud. That’s because owner Bruce Sabo uses twice the amount of fresh premium ingredients per square lick. You’ll forget ice cream ever existed. In addition to gelato and sorbet, Bon Bon sells candy, cookies, and vegan cupcakes. But come early, because those mini cupcakes go faster than a New England summer. The cute wooden benches outside make a great place to sit and people-watch. Divon

Shhhh! He also owns the Boston Rose flower shop
up the street but always dreamed of opening an ice-cream store, so he did when this space opened up.

Shhh who knew

Gelato is made without air, which is why it’s so thick, and uses low-fat milk instead of butter cream.
