They really give you a bang for your buck. They serving sizes are huge. I get a “kiddie” size every time and it’s always more than enough. I don’t think I’ve ever ordered anything bigger than that. Great flavors available too. Line can move slow sometimes but I’m always on vacation so I have no where better to be so I don’t mind.

Probably one of the best ice cream places i’ve ever been to. i’ve been coming to this ice cream place with my family since as long as i can remember, it is such an important place to me. the staff are super nice! and the peanut butter soft serve is the best flavor out there

Good ice-cream for a good price. Parking in the lot by the building is a little tricky so definitely plan ahead traffic wise before heading down. A lot more variery in flavors than most places will have and located close to Good Harbor Beach if you want to cool down after a long day in the sun.

The young women working here always have a smile (though you can only see it in their eyes (masks)!) on. They are helpful, make great suggestions, and even give my dog a pup cup (w/ cookie!). GREAT ICE CREAM! They have hand-scooped and soft serve, too. Enjoy!

Absolutely delicious soft serve with HUGE portions! I had the german chocolate + banana - a great combination. It was a pretty warm day - Im glad I got it in a cup or it would have melted before I could eat it all. Yum!!!

Awesome ice cream with a great selection of hard, soft serve and yogurt. Definitely a go to before they close for the season. And yes, theyll prepare a little treat for your puppy in case they want some too!!

The frappe I had was absolutely amazing had the perfect consistency and the perfect amount of Oreo to coffee ratio.. I also grab the slice which is 1/4 of a pizza and it was fantastic.. anyone heading to that area should stop and check it out.

Friendly service, clearly marked social distancing areas. Kids love the soft serve here. Great summer spot, though parking can be limited on busy days or during peak times of day.

Amazeballs. Incredible selection. Prices rock bottom for everything. Sweetest girls working the counter. Love this place

Review №22

The ice cream was good, but the cost was exorbitant. I bought 3 quarts and a pint of ice cream and got charged $65.25. Definitely not worth the cost. I have subsequently been to the Village Creamery in Essex. The ice cream was better and the price was less than half of what I was charged here.

Tons of awesome flavours that most places dont have. They also have so many different options to choose from!

Review №26

They have lots of soft serve choices and a good amount of hard ice cream choices as well. The sizes are quite large, both the cup and cone, so I would recommend a cup with a cone on top. They also offer doggie sundaes, first one is free with any order. I love that they use paper straws for the frappes, but I would recommend a wider straw. Staff was very friendly. I would recommend Long Beach Dairy Maid if youre in the area, but I dont think that I would go out of my way to go there.

Nice place to sit and eat ice cream. Prices for a cone higher than nearby alternatives and I hoped for more flavor in the coconut pineapple ice cream.

I was told about this place by locals, and explained how great it is. They were not lying. Its along the way to the beach so it is perfect to stop and get some comfortable food. I got a small, which is the size of a pint, so you got your moneys worth. The ice cream was delicious. Im definitely going back and trying out some different flavors. While waiting in line I could smell the pizza oven and was tempted to order a pizza on the go as it was so inviting. They hire great servers and it was such a nice atmosphere of the comings and goings of locals and visitors alike. Definitely worth your time to stop by and get some ice cream.

The only thing that I can say is that you definitely DONT get what you pay for.These guys PILE ON the ice cream ice cream waaaaay more than you would ever expect. They definitely exchange with you in massive abundance! Great selection of flavors! Fun location! Just an amazing spot off the beach up that way. Maybe a little busy during peak times, but hey - I wonder why? Because its worth it! Dont skip out on this place if youre up that way. Make it your go to way stop.

Review №45

This is a great place to stop and get ice cream. There are many flavors of both soft serve and normal ice cream. The portions are more then generous and even a half kid size can fill an adult! (Go ahead and indulge though!) The only issue that I have is that it lacks seating to enjoy your ice cream. There is some, but more would be nice. (I say this with the knowledge that space is tight and I don’t know where they would put more seating. However, it is a small issue.)

Great ice cream in a great location! Nothing beats ice cream after a day at the beach, and both Long Beach AND Good Harbor are a quick walk over to this tasty location. Massive portions for acceptable prices. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area on a warm day!

The portions are perfect for an ice cream monster like myself. A small is THREE SCOOPS! The flavors are creative without being convoluted and ridiculous. Mint chocolate chip with Oreo cookie? Uhhh yes, please.

Good service. Excellent ice cream. Prices too high! $8.50 for a baby and a half baby. Cant use coupon with half baby. How do you call a huge 2 scooper a baby size?

Review №58

First time going here and the options were numerous! We got a root beer float, a small cookie dough frozen yogurt; and a kiddie size lemon sorbet and a cake cone for the munchkin to gnaw on. $18.xx total. Have to say the yogurt must have been old and freezer burned because it was full of ice chunks. :(

Review №67

Huge amount of ice cream for your money. When a place offers a size called half kiddie, you know youre in for an immense serving. They offer an insane number of flavors. My only complaint is that you can also buy killa pizza next door at Surfside pizza and I am stuck as to order superb pizza or ice cream, when I visit.

All in all its always good, but they do need to get different cups( larger) for the amount of ice cream you get.

Sad to say, soft serve was just whipped mix, not even that cold. No flavor, no coldness... Almost didnt finish it, and its summer and I was starving. Not worth the wait. Makes me sad to write it, honestly.
