Everything from soft serve, sherbet, and even dairy free options. Extremely generous with the scoops, I always opt for the small cone as anything bigger would just be a waste. Sugar cones, waffle cones, choco tacos, warm waffles, you name it, they have it. Milkshakes, sundaes, and even root beer floats. Fair warning: summer is usually pretty busy, extremely long lines but they do move quick and it is 100% worth it. Tables / benches are available for outside seating.

The owner is kind and helpful and the selection of goodies is great. She stocks all things you can't really get at the supermarket... dried fruits, gourmet chips, various sparkling drinks, high end tea and coffee, quality chocolate... you get the idea. I'm not sure how she does it because the prices are reasonable for what you get. The locals tell me that New Bedford has needed a place like this downtown for a while. Glad it's there and will stop by next time on my way through.

I ordered a bacon, egg & cheese on a croissant sandwich, a blueberry muffin, and a coffee drink called an "Arpuccino" (I think that's how you spell it). All good. The only problem I have with this place is that they do not have any gift cards/certificates. They only do e-cards. I wanted to give one as a Christmas gift to someone and I wanted a physical card to give. They really should think about carrying physical gift cards, especially if you're giving one to an older person who is not as tech-savvy as others. They're missing out on some possible sales.

I asked for an opinion on what item to get and I felt like a burden. I also ordered a waffle and the response was kind of negative. It was 3, and they close at 4. I politely asked if they were done making waffles for the day and she sighed and was like no. I almost asked to cancel my order at this point, as nothing was being made as of yet. I waited quite a bit for my stuff and any interaction with the staff was kind of negative and harsh. (I swear I'm super nice and friendly!) the waffle and coffee were both underwhelming. I almost changed my review from the previous 5 stars to 3 stars, but am going to hope this was just one poor experience. Not sure if I'll come back again yet or not. I was really bummed because all of my previous interactions here had been great.

Sorbae opened in 2023, and they have a store in New Bedford and also a trailer that they bring to local events! Either way, they are serving up yummy sweet treats and drinks! Their refreshers are amazing! They are unique, refreshing and delicious! Their pops are super cool because they are vegan and dairy free! This shop really caters to those with allergies who can't easily find lots of delicious treats or desserts that meet their dietary needs. They do a nice job of letting you know what items are gluten free, nut free, vegan, or dairy free! However the taste is not compromised at all! They also have matcha lattes, a frozen nor'eastah, and a chagaccino! They offer soft serve, bae parfaits (think soft service parfait sundaes) and these super cool desserts----bae buns! I have never heard of something so unique and cool. Sorbae is an amazing local business. From the cute shop, to a wonderful staff, to their amazing menu, it is the real deal.

Sorbae reminded me of Puerto Rico. It's not the way its decorated (It's decorated very modern pop-…read moreart, think Lichtenstein comics) or the vibe but the actual product. We had fresh fruit pops twice in PR and they came with options of rolling or dipping the pops into toppings. Sorbae is the same! There were about a dozen pop options ranging from coconut to sweet corn! Topping like white chocolate, coconut, etc... We settled on a coconut pop and a strawberry popsicle dipped in white chocolate. Extremely refreshing, fruity and the white chocolate was a perfect accompaniment to the strawberry. My heart was tugging me to a matcha float but I had just had pizza next door (Dipper Cafe.) Also, the owner was working and was very engaged in conversation with us. Very nice! We don't live close by but on a hot day I would Sorbae again.

Dip your frozen pop in any of our dairy free magic shells and cover it in toppings like sprinkles, nuts, coconut flakes or marshmallows

Of course they give you a spoon, but it's so flimsy and bendy, I couldn't dig into the ice cream. This isn't anything against Dockside-- it seems the last few places I've been are also saving money by going with very cheap spoons.
