OPINION: Celebrate the Fall with Pumpkin Ice Cream

Visit Westside Scoops for delicious Gifford's Ice Cream.

Apple picking season is upon us. Halloween candy already fills the aisles of local stores. Temperatures are slowly creeping down the thermometer. The kids are back in school. Fall has finally arrived, and we must embrace the last warm days of the year. Nothing compliments sunshine and warmth better than ice cream.

Treat yourself and friends and family to some decadent ice cream from Westside Scoops. Choose from nearly 20 flavors, including lobster tracks (not made from actual lobster) and raspberry sorbet. And don't forget to try their seasonal pumpkin ice cream, which one guest noted as the best pumpkin ice cream he had ever tried. The staff will serve heaping scoops of Gifford's Ice Cream (shipped from Maine) onto fresh, homemade waffle cones and waffle bowls. Take some back to the house by ordering a hand-packed pint of your choosing.

Westside Scoops offers both indoor and outdoor seating in order to soak up some rays on a clear fall afternoon. Stop on by this local ice cream shop, located at 505 Boston Post Road West.
