Franklin Fountain

Franklin Fountain, located on Hanover Street in the North End, is a retro-style ice cream parlor and soda fountain that opened in 2004 and was designed to evoke early 20th-century American soda shops. The shop is known for handmade ice cream, sundaes, and vintage-style decor, making it a recognizable neighborhood gathering spot. It contributes to the North End's culinary identity alongside longstanding Italian bakeries and restaurants.
