What a fun little spot with great ice cream! Shot out to the staff who were happy, friendly and made some great ice cream. Good employees are hard to find and you have some amazing ones! Definitely try the waffle cones they are delicious! My little Norman enjoyed his pup cup

This place is amazing .... family owned and operated. The nicest servers you could ask for. It's cheaper than any other ice cream place, and the quality is OUTSTANDING. if you ask me, I'd tell you to get the bubblegum hard serve ice cream as there's only 3 other shops locally that even have it out of ALL THE ICE CREAM SHOPS !!! That's a sin, seeing as most of us remember getting it as a kid in the 80s, but I digress . They keep their ice cream at the perfect temperature, so it's not too hard but not too soft.... just right, and their second location in Sandwich is just as good. ZERO COMPLAINTS. I'd teach you a secret to beat the lines, but I don't want to ruin it for myself . Half gallon is where it's at

Rich, creamy, and delicious ice cream! Got the campfire s'mores and it was awesome. Husband got salted caramel and he said it was unbelievable. My in-laws didn't love the frozen yogurt but everyone else who just got ice cream was happy.

Amazing! Delicious ice cream & smiling staff.Came to grab some ice cream on a rainy day today. The woman serving us was SO NICE. Very upbeat. Offered to make a fresh waffle cone for my husband, took extra preparing my sons cone (he has tons of allergies). They have vegan ice cream which was wonderful since one of my children has a milk allergy.We will definitely come again.

The owner Patty is a very classy women and knows how to treat her customers. Excellent staff, very friendly. They also have vegan ice cream which is great because my son is lactose intolerant. He said it didn't taste much different than regular ice cream. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you again Patty.

Delicious. Hours online weren’t updated however and we drove a few times only to find they were closed the week of Labor Day while google stated they were open. Inconvenient but not the end of the world. Will absolutely return.

My ice cream was good but my boyfriend wanted coconut cheesecake brownie and received something completely different. Only ate it because it was expensive and long line

What a discovery we have done! This ice cream place is top-rated in my list and perhaps the best I've cream place I've ever encountered. With endless flavors of ice cream, multitude of toppings, this place rocks couples and families. Their lives move faster than lighting, and there's an option to eat right outside. The experience is great, everyone enjoys it and just of the time is packed.Thank you staff for providing the best I've cream spot in the planet Earth. 🌎

There’s constant line on Saturday evening at this mom/pop ice cream store. We were definitely glad to stop by & ordered new flavor Maine blueberry (this turns out to be the best one), Oreos & coffee chocolate chip ice cream. All were good, the portion was generous. Very very good!!!

Waffle cone was so delicious, chocolate chip ice cream reminded me of when I was a kid going to Peaceful Meadows in Whitman The only thing missing were the cows. Honestly the best ice cream I've had since the last time I went to Peaceful Meadows and that was a long time ago. Also very reasonably priced for the size I got a small and it was a good size. My sister got a strawberry shake She said it was fantastic there were real strawberries at the bottom of the shake. The young kids working today were very polite very professional and fast. I can't believe this is the first time I've been here I've lived in Yarmouth for eight years.

Good ice cream. Very friendly staff. There’s limited seating in a dirty parking lot. They have a cute doggy sundae that my dog enjoyed as a special treat, but it would be nice to be told the price. I was a lil shocked at final price.

Always make a point of stopping here when we're in Cape Cod. Got there a few minutes past closing but they opened the window and made us some awesome cones! Wonderful, friendly people who seem to really enjoy what they do. The owner must treat them right!

Countless flavors, a few flavors no sugar added and a few yogurt flavors. Small is a nice size the large was incredibly large. The people there are exceptionally friendly. They accept credit cards. There are benches to sit between two parking lots. We stop here anytime we are in the area.

It was very enjoyable. The staff was so nice to my Girlfriend's grandson Caleb . They gave him two lollipops. It made his night. He liked the lollipops more than his ice cream. Not saying the ice cream wasnt delicious because it was.

I WRITE THIS REVIEW IN PAIN, BUT I KNOW ITS MY FAULT!!!! 30 minutes, one half hour, 1,800 seconds, this is the lengths me and my family trekked across the Cape to reach this establishment. Some say that this is a large amount of time, but I wouldn’t have chose to spend it any other way. I ordered a waffle cone dipped in the “finest” chocolate on the island. I pondered, but ended up pairing this with peanut butter Oreo and pistachio ice cream and side toppings of marshmallow and salted caramel. Let me start here: BEST PISTACHIO ICE CREAM IN MASSACHUSETTS perhaps north of the equator. I say this with confidence because of my pistachio backstory which I will briefly describe this will be in parenthesis feel free to skip it if you don’t find it relevant. (As a child there wasn’t much that made me happy. I didn't get along with kids at my school and was bullied for being fat. I was often called a Sumo and kids laughed at me during recess. They vigilantly watched and shouted, “Sumo’s going down the slide guys hopefully it doesn’t break again” or “OMG Sumo is gonna try the monkey bars.” I would cry alone in the shower longing for something to fulfill my emptiness. Until one day my friend Carlos Corsuevas brought me an assortment of gourmet nuts from a local grocer. I remember trying the pistachio for the first time. I cracked the shell and popped it in my mouth. Immediately, I fell to the floor and first began laughing then suddenly tears like cataracts drained from my eyes. I whispered to Carlos in a somber, yet rejoiced tone “Finally, I have something to live for.” Everything finally made sense and I connected with this nut in a way that truly shouldn’t be possible. The thick outer-shell of the pistachio reminded me of the hard shell I had to maintain around the bullies at school. Yet, inside that hard exoskeleton was this rich, flavorful, exotic individual who was me at my core. After this experience I lost 60 pounds from a pure pistachio diet. I began traveling state to state trying locally sourced pistachios, and other Michelin star pistachio inspired dishes, Pistachio ice cream has always been one of my favorites treats, and I’ve tried over 983 different homemade pistachio ice creams to this day. In my hometown, instead of Sumo, I’m now known as the Pistachio Popper Aka The Pistachio Guru.) The peanut butter Oreo was prodigious as-well. I would’ve given 5 stars, but the chocolate coated tip of the waffle cone was sadly stale. The salted caramel also left me in great discomfort- a better label for this topping would be Salt with Carmel. It was as if they took caramel melted it and dipped it in the nearby Atlantic. After eating the Salt with caramel my body felt encapsulated by a nauseating sensation- one might describe it as extreme vertigo. I probably should’ve stopped eating it, but I couldn’t I was addicted as if the substance was laced with nicotine. I realize this torment was caused by my own lack of self control, so I will not blame the establishment. This is leagues or better yet worlds above the Cape Cod Creamery. Although Penguin’s whipped cream is not “homemade” it still functions as whipped cream unlike Cape Cod Creamery’s “Butter-stick” whipped cream. Strong 4 out of 5!!!

Dude I literally love this place, there’s this one employee that I like and we saw him today and yesterday. I saw him today and he recognized me and he smiled and waved. So did I, he also hooked my dad up with way more ice cream then he asked. The ice cream is REALLY good ♾/10 this place. Btw the employees name is Nate!

Cute place with little games out front for the kids to be entertained while waiting in line. they also had a cute penguin mascot that interacted with the kids. Lots of flavor options and options for frozen yogurt too which is great. My boyfriend and I shared a Kahlua chip frappe. It tasted really good!.... but sadly I think it was expired, or the milk they used to make the frappe was expired because we both got upset stomachs from the frappe and had to go to the bathroom when we got home ( if u know what I mean) wasn’t very pleasant. Seems like a great place, I would just hope they check their expiration dates more often. There was definitely something not right about the icecream we had. Maybe I would try them out again but get a regular cone.

After a round of Mini Golf, my family was looking for a snack and chose Penguins at random. Got there, prices looked solid and the array of flavors had us dazzled for a few minutes. Ultimately we each chose a medium... and got back what would pass as a large ice cream at most stands. Holy smokes. Worried this was to make for lower quality, I was pleased to find this place was selling some very high quality ice cream. I will be looking to route future trips to the Cape so I can make at least one pit stop here and satisfy my sweet tooth.

Had an amazing experience here! Came in with a tipsy mother and a mighty need for four quarts of ice cream. The staff delivered with a lot of great conversation (and plenty of laughs)! Would absolutely stop here again.

Staff was excellent and so was the ice cream only downfall was that the website says open until 11:30 and we arrived at 11 and they were already closed. They did accomodate us by making our ice creams with very upbeat friendly attitudes however I was hoping for the amazing homemade waffle cone and the machine was already turned off. Someone shoyld change the website to the correct times
