Get to know us

In 1973 Steve’s revolutionized American ice cream in Somerville, Massachusetts by custom-blending flavors by hand as customers watched, mixing-in candies, cookies, fruits and nuts in utterly original and personalized combinations. Steve’s pioneered the craze for funky mix-in flavors that transformed ice cream in America.
Our founder, David Stein, then a 20-something philosophy student in nearby Cambridge, learned to do expert Mix-Ins and how to make Steve’s ice cream by hand in the original store. Ever since, he’s dreamed of recreating the excitement that was unique to Steve’s – the lines around the block, the wild flavor creations and the sheer joy of ice cream Steve’s inspired. Now he’s living that dream by bringing Steve’s back to start the next ice cream revolution.

Today’s revolution is where craft meets simple, yet striking, combinations of pure and natural – and where possible, local – ingredients. Our craft goes deeper than flavors, down to the very bases. Our dairy is local, sustainable and delicious. Our coconut crème is rich and velvety smooth. And our frozen ’buch is as sprightly and effervescent as the kombucha we use to craft it.

Another key part of this revolution is you! We love hearing from you and getting feedback! It inspires and encourages us to challenge traditional flavors and create an ice cream that’s worth sharing and sometimes too good to share!
