Fodor's Expert Review Emack & Bolio's

Emack & Bolio’s has been rocking the Boston frozen treat scene since the 1970s. Diet meets decadence at this smoothie bar/ice-cream parlor that serves in-house microbrewed soda and floats, ice-cream pizzas, and chocolate confections like the chocolate-dipped Twinkie. They offer more than 75 flavors of ice creams, live-culture yogurts, sherbets, and fresh fruit sorbets each year, served in jumbo waffle cones dipped in chocolate and rolled in your choice of Oreos, Rice Krispies, Fruit Loops, Fruity Pebbles, chocolate or rainbow jimmies (sprinkles), crushed nuts, and shaved coconut. Creative takes on the traditional include Grasshopper Pie, Bananas Foster, Beantown Buzz and Cake Batter. The black raspberry chip yogurt is a winner, while the vegan set enjoys six rich flavors of coconut cream.
