Robin Rose Ice Cream: 215 Rose Ave.

A few years ago, while in Northampton, Massachusetts for a philosophy of art conference, we went to Herrell's Ice Cream, a regional favorite. There was a faded, framed clipping of a USA Today article from the 80's, listing the best ice cream places across the country. Herrell's itself was there, of course, but there was also a place on Rose Ave. that we had never heard of, Robin Rose Ice Cream. It's now closed, sadly, but while it was still around it managed to earn a mention in Rick Sebak's documentary about ice cream places. (Note: if you don't know about Sebak's documentary about hot dog stands, you don't know about America!)

Anyone remember Robin Rose Ice Cream? Anyone have photos of it?

  1. Robin Rose was a wonderful place. They invented the 'chocolate raspberry truffle' flavor which was pure heaven.
