Puritan Ice Cream Co

Easily the best ice cream in Boston's southwest corridor. You can't go in expecting to get a cone or any single serve portion as it is a wholesale business. Also, I would come with a flavor in mind, as being wholesale they don't have every flavor in front of you, all the ice cream is in freezers in the back, nor do they stock every flavor year round. I say come with a flavor profile in mind and the staff with be more than helpful to get you the ice cream you desire. My go to is premium chocolate and oreo; basic but forever delicious.

This place is not well-labeled, and incredibly hard to find. There is a dying sign out front, with an arrow pointing around back. I went around back, and it was forklifts and crates. The only door on the side is this sketchy blue one (the entire alley is littered with graffiti, construction vehicles, and abandoned buildings). Faded almost so you can’t see it anymore are hours. I decided to hobble up the stairs (not handicapped accessible), and try the door. It worked! I found myself in an old waiting room with a window like you’re in the doctors office. I told the man in the chair that I was looking for ice cream. He asked which flavors I wanted. I asked which flavors he had. “You have no signs or anything” I said.

When you walk in, you walk into a tiny room with a window into the office. Someone was sitting in the office and he was very friendly. 4. If you tell them a general sense of what kind of ice cream you want, they'll tell you what they have that day 5. They're cash only. The 1/2 gallon of ice cream I got was $7

Great ice cream - $7 per half gallon They have a delicious new flavor, blueberry crumble, which would be amazing on warm blueberry pie. We actually bought a stand-up freezer which we load with a dozen or so flavors for the summer.

Puritan Ice Cream is a commercial manufacturer of high quality ice cream for ice cream stands, restaurants, and private label. This is a commercial food producer. There is no sit down area here and no food delivery pick up for takeout. Google and other search services have this wrong. As a good neighbor policy they will sometimes sell large 3-gallon or half-gallon packaging to locals or to schools for special events but there is no formal retail operation here either.
