Cabot's Ice Cream and Restaurant is an ice-cream parlor and restaurant in Newtonville, Massachusetts, United States. It was established in 1967,[1] two years before it was purchased by the Prestejohn family,[2] in whose hands it remained for 54 years. Joe Prestejohn, son of the original owners, Joseph (1923–1987) and Catherine (1921–2013),[3][4] and his sister, Susan Lipsky, sold it in 2023 to Kevin and Kay Masterson, who own have owned Johnny's Luncheonette in Newton Centre since 2014.[5][6] Around 60% of Cabot's revenue comes from food sales, with the balance made up by ice cream. The name of the business comes from the Cabot family of Boston.[2]
The Prestejohns originally owned a bar and restaurant in Boston which burned down in 1958.[5]
In 2023, the restaurant's 64-ounce frappes were featured on Good Morning America.[6][7] In 2026, it was the subject of WBZ-TV's Small Business Shoutout.[8]
