Every great state needs its great ice cream and just as Vermont has Ben and Jerry's, Massachusettes has Herrell's. With five locations(along with Allston, there are stores in Harvard Square, Watertown, the Berkshires, and Northhampton), Herrell's is a beacon of creamy tastiness throughout the state. What's more, this Allston location not only serves up the original, die-in-your-socks ice cream flavors (including at least one or too vegan "no moo" flavors) to the local crowds of students, hipsters and professionals, it also caters to the on-the-go locals by offering a mouth-watering selection of breakfast foods (muffins! vegan french toast and pancakes! breakfast burritos!) and a full lunch menu, which includes several creative vegan sandwich and soup options. Walking in, you might get a tingle from the fun, charged atmosphere--and if that doesn't do it, the chocolate pudding ice cream surely will.

Herrell's Allston Cafe could not get more Rock City. The fresh-from-the-oven bakery smell that you'll walk into like a brick wall as you turn the corner of Brighton and Harvard will bring you inside; the free WiFi, indie music, and colorful graphic art all over the walls and tables will keep you interested; but the coffee, baked delicacies, vegan eats, and the forgive-me-father ice cream will keep you coming back.

Hours: M - Sat: 7 a.m. - 12 a.m. (11 p.m. during winter months, actually closes at 9pm Mo-Th) Sun: 8 a.m. - 12 a.m. (11 p.m. during winter months)

Herrell's Allston Cafe has in the past and continues to be hands down the best Ice Cream in the city. Yes I have the other two or three well publicized ice cream shops, sorry but Steve Herrell has them beat. Rich and creamy and oh so good, yet better with Herrell's own homemade hot fudge and homemade whipped cream. I have yet to try their lunch, but I have stopped in for an awesome breakfast burrito!! Strong coffee and homemade muffins lure me back at least twice a week. The morning crew has some of the more pleasant faces that I have come across during the morning hours in Allston. I can only recommend the food that I have had, but the buzz about the lunch that I have been hearing is that Herrell's is becoming a good lunch spot as well.
