Ordered an Vanilla Peanut butter ice cream cake, best ice cream cake EVER. The cake was reasonably priced and went above and beyond. It was exactly what I wanted and more. Would highly recommend and will be buying another in the future.

Another south shore staple we don't ever miss when we're in town once a year. The ice cream is always fresh, the staff is kind, and you can't beat the view of the harbor.

I would definitely send anyone there always great. They have great locations as well I frequent the Scituate harbor store but they are all good.

I’ve been here no less than 100 times since it’s opened. Every time has been incredible. You have to understand the ice cream has more of a custard texture and therefore melts a little bit easier which is why I always get a cup. There was a one time flavor called 3-7-5 or maybe 3-2-5 that blew our minds maybe 5-7 years ago. I really really wish this was brought back for a one time special. Also I highly recommend mocha Mia if it’s available. I think it’s the best flavor that isn’t 3-7-5. Thank you always for fantastic service and phenomenal hours of operation during the summer!

What a great sundae and one scoop was more than enough. They even have a shelf so the kids can stand and see the ice cream they want

I always go here when I visit Scituate! The ice cream is absolutely amazing, and the staff are very kind. I always get a frappe, and those are some of the best milkshakes that I have had!

We were a very big group from the church. Girls over there were amazing and exceptional they served over 40 in probably 30-40 minutes with all kinds of ice cream and drinks efficiently and they were so friendly. Thanks you so much guys we really appreciate your service that night.
