Scoop N Scootery was first operated out of a food truck, and its original mission was offering fast delivery of unforgettably delicious ice cream sundaes. It now has three brick-and-mortar locations across Massachusetts (Allston, Brighton, and Arlington), where ice cream lovers can choose from an assortment of sundae creations, like the “4 Horsemen,” peanut butter Oreo ice cream and a brownie core, or “Sweater Weather,” a mix of pumpkin ice cream topped with doughy sugar cookie bites and caramel syrup. Customers can also design their own frozen treats at the customization station. Scoop N Scootery ice cream is also available for delivery here.

Far Out Ice Cream offers a unique style of soft-serve ice cream originated in New Zealand. The dessert is created by blending together normal hard ice cream with frozen fruit, resulting in a frozen treat thicker than soft-serve ice cream, but creamier than normal ice cream. Customers start out by choosing a base—vanilla, chocolate, or frozen yogurt (dairy-free options also available)—blended with their choice of fruit—blueberry, raspberry, banana, strawberry, mango, pineapple, or kookaberry—served in a cup or waffle cone. Toppings include chocolate flakes, sprinkles, or graham crackers. A wide selection of coffees is also available.
