If you’re in the mood for a sweet treat, look no further than downtown Lawrence. Jayplay scoured the sugar-littered street to find which ice cream most deserves a home in your belly.
ben and jerry’s ice cream
818 Massachusetts St.
Regular cup $3.95
The thing about Ben and Jerry’s ice cream is, there’s just so much stuff in it. The company offers a few basic flavors, but most are so rich and multi-layered that your taste buds end up confused.
★ ★ ★ out of 5 stars

cold stone creamery
647 Massachusetts St.
Small cup $2.95
Cold Stone gets points for allowing their customers freedom with a “we’ll-put-just-about-anything-together-for-you” approach and for employees who sing when tipped, but the ice cream itself lacks the creamy body necessary to satisfy a craving. Ice cream should never taste like it’s good for you.

Mirth Cafe
745 New Hampshire St.
Small cup $2.95
The Italian gelato served at Mirth is refreshingly different, light and crisp. And, though it doesn’t taste like it, the gelato is actually better for you than ice cream. Perfect for a slight change in ice cream pace.
★ ★ ★ ★ out of 5 stars

BEST: Sylas and Maddy’s homemade ice cream
1014 Massachusetts St.
Single scoop $2.95
There is just no contesting Sylas and Maddy’s fresh homemade taste. This locally owned store offers a variety of flavors and crave-able waffle cones. Just the smell of the place is almost enough to satisfy a craving — almost.
