Sundaes, Frozen Margs And Shaved Ice: Where To Eat This Weekend

Looking for a refreshing treat to cool you down this weekend? From shaved ice and frozen margaritas to a build-your-own sundae bar, we’ve got you covered! Also on my radar: a wonderful bakery with some delicious babka and a new brunch menu at a local hot spot.

Here's where to dine and sip around Boston this weekend:

Lower Mills Tavern

This neighborhood hot spot has an all new brunch menu designed by executive chef Colton Coburn Wood. At Lower Mills Tavern in Dorchester you’ll find house-made blueberry crumb cake, a buttermilk ranch fried chicken sandwich, buttermilk pancakes with blueberry compote and more.

Abide

Cool off with some milk tea drinks and shaved ice at Abide in Cambridge. They’re popping up at Parsnip in Harvard Square on Saturdays from 1: p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Citrus & Salt

Citrus & Salt is another spot for some super refreshing drinks and desserts. From its frozen watermelon rosé margarita to its blood orange and ginger margarita, you can find cocktails representing almost every color of the rainbow. But before you get a brain freeze from frozen margaritas, don’t leave without trying their signature soft-serve in a pretzel cone.

The Sababa Kitchen

If you’re always on the hunt for some good babka like me, then check out The Sababa Kitchen, a local bakery founded by Samantha Cohen. This weekend she’s popping up at the Kendall Square Farmer’s Market from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.and at the Egleston Farmers Market in Jamaica Plain from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Sundae Funday at Capo

How does building your own sundae without cleaning up the mess sound? Great, right? Head to Capo in Southie for their build-your-own gelato sundae bar on Sundays starting at 3 p.m.. For $10, you can get unlimited gelato and toppings.
