In New England, summers tend to be short and sweet compared to the lengthy winter months we endure each year. That’s why it’s important to take advantage of these months and all the good things they offer… that includes enjoying some delicious ice cream during the dog days of summer.
Cold, refreshing and deliciously sweet, ice cream has a way of changing the course of a bad day or making a good day even better. In fact, it has been said that ice cream can be good for the soul and we wholeheartedly agree.
Let’s take a look at some of Revere’s favorite ice cream spots.

Located at 437 Revere Beach Boulevard along iconic Revere Beach sits the famous Kells Kreme. Beachgoers can enjoy a frozen treat with walk-up service and generous portions. Whether you enjoy soft-serve ice cream twisted on a cone or one of their other specialties, Kell’s Kreme will cool you down and have you coming back for more.
