A Noodle Bar And An Ice Cream Shop To Open In Brookline

BROOKLINE, MA — Coolidge Corner is gaining two exciting new places to eat this summer.

New Zealand-based ice cream company Far Out originally hit the United States with a pop-up location on Nantasket Beach in Hull last summer, and now according to their website, the company will make their home location at 419 Harvard Street in Brookline.

Far Out is known for mixing ice cream, dairy or non-dairy, with fruit and mixing it together in a fresh-flavored soft serve. Their menu lists fruits from raspberry to 'kookaberry' and features a flavor of the week.

The website says Far Out will be open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 8p.m.

Harvard Street in Coolidge Corner will also be getting a new noodle bar, according to an article from Wickedlocal.

Mecha Noodle Bar is a popular restaurant in Connecticut that, according to their website, means "mom and pop" in Vietnamese.

Opening at 285 Washington Street in Brookline, this will be Mecha's first location in Massachusetts.

The menu listed on their website offers traditional Vietnamese dishes including different types of Pho, Ramen, seasonal specials and appetizers.

Both restaurants are planning to open this summer.
