Breakers Ice Cream in Woburn (no web presence) is on Winn Street, a couple of blocks north of Woburn Common. While it has a 4 windows and a set of well-lit benches with umbrellas along a large parking lot, it's not actually that visible from the street - it's tucked in behind Mike's Place Pizzeria and has a relatively small street sign. Since it's after Labor Day, they were notably one of the few places in the Burlington area that were actually still open¹ after 9pm (they were actually serving people right up to 9:30.)

They might have indoor seating, I couldn't tell if it was that or that Mike's Place extends around behind them (a disadvantage of late night ice cream runs, even the well lit places aren't all that conducive to wandering around, though google maps shows that the extensive parking continues around the back of the building too.)

First Visit

I went with "Death By Chocolate" (which had a proper dark chocolate flavor to it, as well as mixed in brownies and other chocolate.) Followed it with "Green Monster" which is a traditional mint with stuff in it; not all the way up to "grasshopper" level, but plenty of mint and plenty of chocolate.

Next visit I might try "Maine Black Bear" (raspberry) or Totally Turtle, though if their machines are up a chocolate dip cone is just as likely.

The menu lists soft serve and dip cones; they also have frappes and slush.

Cabot's in Newton (you can see I-90 and the commuter rail out the window; there is street parking with an app, but fortunately the meters actually still take real money.)

Cabot's is a lunch and ice cream place with tables and counter seating, and a lengthy food menu as well as a bunch of ice cream options including frappes and ice cream sodas, and many toppings.
