CAMBRIDGE: Soofa is excited to announce the installation of a Soofa Bench outside Toscanini’s ice cream shop in Cambridge. Toscanini’s is a Cambridge icon, and known for both its delicious ice cream and cutting-edge flavor experiments. The solar-powered Soofa Bench charges mobile devices via USB, modernizing outdoor spaces in the process. Passerby can grab a cone, cup of coffee, and charge at the home of what The New York Times calls the “the World’s Best Ice Cream”.
Toscanini’s has gained its legendary status through a commitment to ice cream innovation. It was no surprise, then, that they wanted innovate their benches by becoming a Soofa Bench early adopter. Toscanini’s Soofa Bench was the first installed in Cambridge. Thirteen more benches will be installed around Cambridge during early June 2015.
