Best of Boston

1979 Best Ice Cream

Joey’s

Herren of Steve’s Ice Cream has won this award. But Steve has sold Steve’s to Joey Crugnale, who owns Joey’s. And Joey is putting a bit more effort into Joey’s than he is into Steve’s (also, the lines at Joey’s are shorter). Very smooth and light ice cream (Joey says he uses a “fast-whip” process). A make-your-own sundae bar, and chocolate-cinnamon-raisin to boot.
