Sick of the Boston summer heat? Ready for a delicious and somewhat healthy way to cool off? Stop by Bon Bon for the best gelato and sorbet in the area (including the North End!) Bon Bon serves a variety of delicious snacks including exciting candies, creamy hot chocolate, and organic coffee. Located on Mass Ave in between Berklee, Northeastern, and Newbury Street, Bon Bon is the perfect summer treat! The shop is tiny and cute, with no room for more than a few customers, so plan on eating outside on the lawn in front of the Christian Science Center.
