Uncommon Ice Cream to Open in the Former Lobstah on a Roll Space in Boston's South End

It appears that a new ice cream shop will be coming to the South End of Boston, and it will be taking over the space where the original location of a restaurant known in part for its oversized lobster rolls had been.

According to a Twitter/X post from @carolineN108, Uncommon Ice Cream is planning to open on Columbus Street, moving into the former Lobstah on a Roll space a couple of blocks east of the Massachusetts Avenue intersection. No specific information can be found on the upcoming place as of yet, with a sign in the storefront simply saying "coming soon," so keep checking back for updates as they come in.

Locations of Lobstah on a Roll can still be found on Newbury Street in the Back Bay along with Worcester Public Market and in St. Augustine, FL.

The address for the upcoming Uncommon Ice Cream is 537 Columbus Avenue, Boston, MA, 02118.
