Here’s a sweet story: Girl and boy meet, they get married, open a small-batch ice cream business and share their scoops with adoring fans. That’s how Honeycomb started in 2015, and it’s still dispensing the most delightful cones (in varieties like toasted coconut) at its Cambridge storefront and at a new spot on City Hall Plaza, using local farm-sourced cream to create flavored scoops like salted caramel crackle, matcha-pistachio and ginger-rhubarb crisp. They’re a happily-ever-after at the end of any day.
