The Hudson-based creamery will soon open its fourth shop in the state.
UPDATED, Oct. 22: New City Microcreamery, a Massachusetts-based company, announced a new Arlington location at 311 Broadway was in the works. The group is now informing residents their sweet treats will be available for purchase Thursday, Oct. 23.
“Jason [co-founder of New City Microcreamery] and I grew up in a neighborhood not far from Arlington Center (Belmont), and we frequented this beautiful downtown for dining and shopping, so it feels like we are coming full circle, now being able to offer our ice cream where we once enjoyed a scoop and a stroll as kids,” said Michael Kasseris, co-founder of New City Microcreamery. “We can’t wait to share our passion with the community—from our Baklava ice cream to our Best of Boston–winning Dubai Chocolate.”
The award-winning ice cream maker has current locations in Hudson (its primary location, which opened in 2015), Cambridge, and Sudbury. Plans for the Arlington location includes offering 30 rotating and unique flavors, made from scratch in the company’s Shirley production facility. The shop also plans to offer signature sundaes and milkshakes. The company’s current menu of flavors is available here >>
New City Microcreamery prides itself on its nitrogen freezing production process; once the ice cream base has steeped in its flavor for a full 24 hours, the base is mixed and slowly introduced to the liquid nitrogen, which is more than negative 300 degrees, according to the company website.
Further information about the new location will be posted to the creamery’s Instagram page.
Formerly, the 311 Broadway location was home to Abbott’s Frozen Custard.
