    One of the best ice cream ever tasted and very lovely staff. And the ambience is so nice where birds are chirping. Try dark choco and hazelnut

    Great Gelato. Convenient location. Worth the short stroll from downtown area. Highly recommend the Coconut!

    I had the dark chocolate and it was incredibly rich and thick--perfect if you love bold chocolate flavors!

There was no label or warning of almond extract in the cookie. It wasn't until AFTER we both had a bite that we tasted the almond flavor. When I went back to ask the worker if the sugar cookie had almond in it, she said no. I asked her again to be double sure. She, again, said there was no almond extract in the cookie. I finally told her I tasted almond in the cookie. She finally asked another worker and they confirmed there was almond extract in the cookie. In hindsight, should I have asked if there was any nuts in the cookies we ordered? Yes. But we ordered a chocolate chip cookie and a sugar cookie, which both traditionally do not have nuts in them. However, there was no labeling anywhere that there were nuts in the sugar cookie. Also, even if I asked the worker before purchasing the cookie, if there were nuts in it, she would have said no because she clearly didn't know the ingredients in her own product. Thankfully, my wife was OK after taking a Benadryl but she could have been severely sick from this. this company should do better at labeling their products and the staff actually knowing the ingredients in their product before someone else gets sick.

We just wanted a light snack because it was a little late in the day. A friendly woman (who I believe was an owner) was training someone and recommended the tuna sashimi dinner. We got that and a cup of their amazing clam chowder and it was perfect. The fish was fresh as was the rice and salads. Later in the week we returned for fried clams, scallops, and a fish dinner which were equally perfect. See you next year!

We ate on the patio on a high top table near a screen window, which was lovely. The biggest advantage over Arnold's is that the joint is BYOB. That's a rare thing in the Cape. The fried cod was flaky, lightly coated, and perfectly fried with an abundant amount of homemade French fries, a roll, and standard fare Cole Slaw. The roll is unnecessary, in my opinion. Missing having onion rings on the menu. Arnold's (and the old Liam's at Nauset Beach) made the best. Condiments are serve-yourself, but you'll have to ask the host for lemon slices. We'll return for fried food but will continue to search other locales. We went back the next night for ice cream and it was just average. $5 for a small scoop in a bowl, we were charged more for a small sundae than what was advertised on the board, and service was very slow. However, the sundae hit the spot and they didn't skimp on the hot fudge and walnuts.

    This is another go-to stop when visiting Cape Cod every year. The review is going toward the…read moremini-golfing. There are 18 holes in this location and the layout is pretty decent. I've noticed some major upgrades that have been made since we returned this year. Different obstacles have been put in place, which gives a different variety. I'm big with variety, as I do like changes to an extent. Every hole I have no problem with, but the last hole, take caution. There are steps that lead up to this hole, and when coming down, there are is a little step you have to take before reaching the stairs climbing down. It's a trip hazard and something needs to be done about it to level it straight. Other than that, it's a fun mini golf course.

    So do you understand the principle of quantum superposition? It's like if you are going to enter a…read moreroom and you don't know if the lights are on or off - but there is an even chance either way - so your knowledge of the state of the lights is a function: 1/2 on + 1/2 off. And yes I know that isn't normalized but let it alone. This place is like that. The mini-golf is great, super fun course with a loop-de-loop. But then the food situation is complicated - some years they have it and some years they don't. And you never know. And when they have it it's great. But when they don't it's sad and you are disappointed but you still like the mini-golf. Add in that the bar may or may not be there and if it is it may or may not be open and the wave function of you chance of happiness here looks something like this: 1/4(+golf+food+bar)+ 1/4(+golf+food~bar)+ 1/4(+golf-food +bar)+ 1/4(+golf- food-bar) Again not normalized but whatever. So there it is, this place exists in a quantum superposition. Of true awesomeness and partial sadness and like in life you never know what you are going to get. So enjoy the randomness and ride the wave-function, dude, if life were certain we'd all be as bored as laplace's demon. But bring peanut butter and jelly sandwiches just in case. Five stars.

It was a…read morelast-minute decision to eat here because everywhere else was booked solid, and you think if a place is on the water, it should have some decent seafood, right? Boy was I wrong. If I could rewind time and not spend money at this place, I would. Let's start with the good, the tofu bowl was large and flavorful. That is about it. Now for the bad, the shrimp tacos had two pieces of shrimp in them, they were mainly lettuce and were not seasoned. 1/5 stars. The lobster roll. When my New Englander friends saw this roll, they laughed, apologized, and insisted that I go somewhere else to try a real lobster roll. I was between the lobster roll and a burrito, but since this place was on the water, I wanted to go with the seafood option that wasn't fried. I have now learned from this mistake. The lobster was rubbery, as mentioned in a different review. Lackluster in presentation, and the bun was soggy by the time I got it. Total wait time: 25 mins for the lobster roll, closer to 45 mins for the fish taco and tofu bowl. Mind you, this was on a Saturday night, so I understand that they were probably busy. But their pick up station is so disorganized and hectic, they are shouting numbers from the window, and you have to fight to the front of other guest waiting in order to pick up your food. Long story short, if you are in Wellfleet, save your time and money and do not visit this place. There is hardly anywhere to sit, and the service and food were very subpar. I would mention the ambience, but there was none. We were there at Sunset so that was a plus. But even after my $32 lobster roll, I was still hungry.
