New Sudbury Microcreamery Sets New Grand Opening Date

SUDBURY, MA — Hold onto your orders, ice cream aficionados.

The Sudbury location of the New City Microcreamery has revised its opening plans. The shop at the Meadow Walk plaza is now on track for a March 18 grand opening ceremony, which will mean regular hours of noon to 9 p.m. daily.

New City Microcreamery did open on March 5 and 6 — and will be open this Saturday and Sunday — but decided to roll back a full opening until March 18.

The local Hudson-based ice cream chain, which also has a shop in Cambridge, has been planning the Sudbury location since August. The owners waited to solidify a distribution deal with Whole Foods, which is also located in Meadow Walk, before opening in Sudbury.

New City uses a special process to create its ice cream, cooling Mapleline Farm cream to negative 300 degrees using liquid nitrogen.

"Using the super-cold liquid nitrogen creates a smaller ice crystal which gives it the smooth New City texture we look for," the company says.

Some styles that will be available in Sudbury include traditional vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry, plus vegan ice cream, and specialties like salted cookie, fennel and baklava.
