Ron’s Ice Cream and Bowling: Hyde Park

I love ice cream and I have a lot of favorite ice cream places scattered around the Greater Boston area.  Ron’s Ice Cream is definitely one of the best.  I can’t remember how I heard about this place, but I do know that it ranks #3 in the world in some National Geographic Ten Best list and it was featured on Good Morning America.  The other thing I know is that you can get amazing ice cream there and if you want (and I haven’t) you can play a string of candlepin bowling while you wait.  Personally, my favorite ice cream flavors are Coffee Madness (creamy coffee with chocolate chips, oreo and almonds), Peanut Butter Explosion (creamy peanut butter ice cream with reese’s peanut butter chunks) and Grape Nut (the BEST grape nut ice cream ever with crunchy grape nuts).

Also, hands down, Ron’s (actually his wife) makes the best ice cream cakes ever.  The small cakes are just ice cream, and the bigger ones are ice cream and cake. They are discussion worthy.  Order in advance, but they often will have some available in the case.
