The Park Street Ice Cream Shoppe in Natick, MA, is a terrific little "hidden" ice cream parlor, tucked away in a

colorful, tiny schoolhouse-like building behind the expansive Natick town common. Quite popular amongst locals, but virtually unknown to anyone else beyond the Natick area, Park Street Ice Cream has been in business 29 years, makes its homemade ice cream on the premises, and also features an impressive sandwich menu. Seating is limited, the service quite friendly, and the plain, old-fashioned look of the shop will remind baby boomers and the senior set of the ice cream parlors from where they grew up.  You'll find all the familiar flavors here, including chocolate, vanilla, mint chocolate chip, Oreo, M&M and peppermint stick. Whether in the form of an ice cream cone or sundae (they offer slush, floats, shakes, ice cream sandwiches, frozen yogurt and cookies, too!), the ice cream at Park Street Cream is high-quality, high butterfat content-caliber stuff at reasonable prices -- and a large town green for the kids to run around and for you to burn off those calories!
