Super cute little ice cream shop in Orleans! On a rainy day trying to find some things to do, we decided that eating ice cream was definitely a proper way to use our time. They have a nice deck for better weather, but we opted to enjoy ours in the car. We each got a kiddie cone, which in proper New England fashion, was still plenty of ice cream. I had coffee Oreo and my husband had Irish cream. The flavors were excellent, lots of cookie chunks in mine. I really liked the texture too. It was very smooth and creamy, not icy, but somehow felt lighter on the tongue than a lot of premium ice cream does. They also had quite a few dairy free/sugar free/gluten free options so they seemed very allergy friendly. Services was friendly and prompt. They're serving some of the best ice cream on the Cape! Definitely check them out. read more

We were looking for a place open before Memorial Day and decided to try this place! Typically, we are Sundae School people and aren't in this area for dinner, but we were so impressed and happy that we stopped here. I got the Cocamint Chip which was unreal and Orange Sherbet. They make their own ice cream and there is parking and outdoor seating. You can pay with credit card. read more

This ice cream is absolutely delicious! Besides, having great ice cream, the service is fantastic. Josie went above and beyond. My husband complained about his ice cream flavor. She went and got him a new scoop while hearing him bitch and moan that the flavor he got was not what he had anticipated. Thanks, Josie! read more

Pros: Tons of dairy free options Huge portions Cons: - dairy free ice cream still tasted like soymilk/dairy free, didn't really agree with the reviews - portions felt too big, you get way more than what you pay for but was only able to finish 1/4 of a small blizzard so it felt very wasteful, consider sharing read more

This was my first time in probably 20 years enjoying a Blizzard, and it was fantastic! This place offers non-dairy milk options, which was a game-changer for me. I had a salted caramel Blizzard with peanut butter cups and Reese's pieces, just like old times before I became lactose intolerant. The service was quick and excellent. The prices were reasonable, as I received 7 items for under $45, which I consider a great deal. The Blizzard I had was sensational. I wish more places around my area offered these options. read more

Quality great tasting ice cream. A new favorite at the cape! Great service and good family fun. The line moves quickly because the servers move fast and courteously. read more

great ice cream both soft and hard. the coffee oreo among the best of its kind. service is quick and cheerful and there's a nice porch to sit on. don't miss this orleans highlight! read more

It's a cute place. They have a nice non dairy selection. Good help, but why is a regular cone $6? If you work a minimum wage job at $15 that is 25 minutes of work to buy an ice cream cone for your kid. Family of 4 $24. I know everyone is doing this, but it makes no sense that an ice cream cone is this expensive. read more

We found this ice cream shop while staying in Brewster. We were on the hunt for some ice cream, but a few places closer to Brewster weren't open for the season, so we drove to this shop, and it did not disappoint! There was a long line on Monday night, and you know a long wait usually means it's a good spot. My favorite flavor is maple walnut, and honestly, this place has the best maple walnut I've ever had in the U.S.! I've tried that flavor everywhere from Maine to Seattle, and this place makes amazing homemade ice cream with rich flavor and fresh cream. My kids got soft serve, and it was really good too. I'd definitely recommend it and can't wait to come back next time I'm in town! read more

It's a generic name, but this place truly has the most/best allergy-friendly and low-fat frozen treats on all of the Cape! They have really good soft serve non-fat frozen yogurt with choose-your-own mix-ins. The best combo is chocolate with strawberries and oreos! On our last visit, they had added even more dairy-free/vegan options too. Of course, there's delicious regular ice cream too (visited 5/27/22, 8/13/23, and 6/15/24, and many more times!) read more

Great homemade ice cream. The cake batter and red velvet were particularly tasty. Real cake mixed in. Highly recommend!

"We pulled over for this" on our way back to Hyannis from ptown. We had already stuffed our faces for lunch but we all have a little extra room for ice cream. After reading some of the other reviews, I'm pleased that there was no line during our visit on a Friday afternoon in August. Ha Ha!!! I was impressed by the pure quantity of different flavors available as well as diary free options. I struggled to make a decision but ultimately went with a small red velvet in a cone. The small is a very decent (probably too decent for the scale) portion. The red velvet was creamy with chunks of red velvet cake in there. I don't think I've even ever seen this flavor before let alone tried it and it was nice to try something off the beaten "cone" if you will. There is seating on the deck outside with umbrellas. It is a great place to take an afternoon break with a treat. read more

Really good ice cream and even better service! The staff knew their stuff when it came to allergies and made me feel totally comfortable. I got a scoop of chocolate and a scoop of salted caramel -- both were awesome. Definitely recommend this place, especially if you have food allergies. read more

I was referred to Ice Cream Cafe from some Orleans locals and it did not disappoint! The number of flavors available was almost overwhelming. The variety is unbelievable and the ice cream tasted as home made as it gets. I was told to try the banana ice cream, which at first I said ew? The staff offered me a taste test and I understood why it was recommended. It was AMAZING. I got a scoop of banana and a scoop of coco mint chip (also delicious) on a wafer cone. Do not be intimated by the long line here. The staff is quick & efficient. I waited less than 10 minutes for a line that wrapped into the parking lot. Ice Cream Cafe is a must when on the Cape! read more

We stopped here after Cape Escape Mini Golf for a little afternoon treat. This place takes covid precautions seriously (masks for all, calling customers in one at a time). I applaud their safety measures. They have only outdoor seating and it is limited. I would have given 5 stars for the ice cream but the outdoor seating wasn't kept up very well. There are so many flavors!!! My husband was bummed they were out of Key Lime but happy with his black raspberry consolation dessert. I ordered their dairy free soft serve twist and was delighted with how delicious it was. read more

Outstanding every time! Chose to come mid-afternoon and wow - that's the time! No wait and plenty of seating to enjoy the fabulous creamy ice cream. Friendly service and great chill atmosphere. read more

Worth the lineup! Original flavours and quick, pleasant service. The kiddie cone was a hearty scoop and enough to be enjoyed without the guilt of overindulgence. I tried the dirt bomb ice cream, at the recommendation of my brother-in-law. Cinnamon flavours with muffin pieces-- I was amazed at how the muffin stays crispy when mixed in ice cream! One of the best scoops I've ever had! Not overly sweet; just the right flavour balance and very creamy. I might go a second time this week while we're visiting the Cape. read more

Line moves fast- don't be discouraged!! Had small dish of both peanut butter (vanilla base) and dark chocolate chip and it was a delightful combination! Creamy ice cream and large tasty chunks of peanut butter cups and chips! Worth the wait!! ! read more

This is the best place for ice cream when visiting the Cape. Every year we look forward to this place for the best ice cream and soft serve varieties. Last night we got three sundaes. All were small sundaes that includes two scoops. The first was with a scoop of chocolate chip and a scoop of cookies and cream, topped with hot fudge and Reese pieces. The second was Coffee Heath and Chocolate chocolate chip topped with hot fudge, peanut butter sauce, Heath and Reese Peanut Butter Cup. The third was Soft-Serve Swirl Ice Cream with Butterfinger pieces. All of them were tasty and we ordered online to make it faster for pick up. The line is usually long, but Thursday in October would have been fine to go right up to the window. read more

Excellent the cream and an excellent ice cream shop ! Friendly hard working employees !

Here's my issue: they use real cherries on top of their sundaes. That's atypical. So when I bit into the cherry on my sundae, I chomped down onto the pit. That was, of course, right in the exact spot of a dental crown. Now my crown is loose. Not what I want for my vacation or a dental bill. It really sucks. The ice cream is good. Hot fudge wax tasty. Just please warn people if you're going to do something so highly atypical that is also a hazard. Or consider removing the pit of your cherries. I could picture this being problematic to anyone who bites down on it. read more

Still the GOAT, best and most affordable option for ice cream in the area. Including vegan and dairy free options AND they are super conscientious about nut allergies!! read more

My go-to used to be Sundae School. Then it became Smitty's which was also good. Problem is its open for a fairly short season and usually has long lines. So I started coming to Ice Cream Cafe. The ice cream here is also very good and the lines can be long, especially in the evenings. So go during the day and the lines are shorter. They have a good amount of flavors and prices are about average for one of the better ice cream shops on the Cape. Don't waste your time at other places that don't make their ice cream on site. Basically I recommend this place and it's now my go-to on the Cape. read more

There are so many ice cream spots on the Cape but I feel like this is the one to go to in this area. There are a ton of flavors to choose from, the staff are all friendly, and there is space for large groups. Most importantly: it's ca$h only! read more

The ice cream was amazing! Our entire group was oohing and awing over the flavor! The service was quick and very pleasant. We will definitely go back. read more

Quintessential beach town ice cream shop serving homemade ice cream. It's odd, however, that they say their ice cream is homemade because when you stand outside, you can see through the window into the kitchen all the big tubs of gross syrup titled "berry syrup" and "Oreo coffee" which are basically their ice cream flavors. Hmmm, a little confused here! I had the soft serve twist sundae tons of hot fudge and whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles and it was classic and delicious, but not this is special I have to come back ASAP kinda thing. Glad we tried it but excited to keep trying other ice cream spots in Cape Cod. read more

Let me just start here. Their ice cream is amazing. The staff are extremely friendly and fast, they options to call in for pick up if you don't want to wait in line. They follow all safety precautions wearing gloves and masks. I got two flavors cookie dough and cookies n' cream as a sundae with their hot fudge (this is the best hot fudge I have ever had in my life I had to get an extra tub on the side, and honestly just give me a spoon and a tub of the fudge. IT. IS. AMAZING.). I cannot stress this enough, if you are in the area, you owe it to yourself to get ice cream from the Ice Cream Cafe. Also they have a handful of tables outside to sit and enjoy this delectable delight. So go now you are wasting precious eating time! read more

Enjoyed my coconut and my ginger ice cream. It's nice that the shop let's you get 2 flavors in a small size. Hubby was happy with the vegan choices. read more

Being up the Cape on vacation we had to try out this ice cream joint. Place was packed! Roughly 15-20 minute wait. The peanut butter cup ice cream in a dipped cone was delicious! Service was very good. These kids taking orders were working their a$$es off and still super friendly! read more

Really excited to try this place but when I arrived at 9:58pm tonight, the doors were locked and the girls were cleaning up. Knocked and they said they were already closed. I get it's a Sunday, but if you close at 10pm you let guests in until then. read more

This is our family favorite. First, the staff is great! Don't worry if they'd us a line. They are organized and efficient and they keep the line moving. We have enjoyed the non-dairy ice cream made with pea protein. (Try the salty caramel!) The regular hard ice cream is great too. And the blizzards are a real treat!! The perfect way to end a Cape Cod evening. read more

We were on vacation in Cape Cod recently. We loved this place so much we came here twice. We especially enjoyed the ginger ice cream, which had pieces of candied ginger in it, and the salty caramel. The ice cream sandwiches are great, since they're made to order. Even though the line can be long, the staff keeps things moving quickly. read more

Delicious selection of ice cream, sorbet, & soft serve. I suggest ordering online, specifically on the weekend. There's generally a very long line, which is a testament to how good it is. read more

I got the twist soft serve ice cream, which is a combination of chocolate and vanilla, and it was very good. They are very good with allergies and they get fresh scoopers and a new container of ice cream. They also have a nice patio for you to sit at. I highly recommend if you are in the area. read more
