After dinner, we decided that we had a hankering for a little bit of ice cream so we went to Big Olaf. The line was out the door, and we ended up waiting 20-30 minutes or so which wasn't too bad. The people behind the counter got through the line quite quickly while also being generous about letting people try different flavors. I went with one of the seasonal flavors, peanut butter chip ice cream, which was tasty. There are so many different flavors to choose from which is is a great problem to have. Big Olaf is an old school place which is cash only. read more

CA$H ONLY!!! This is so important. While there is an ATM inside, so many people I saw got turned away bc they did not have cash or a debit card. If you are lucky/smart enough to bring cash, the place is delightful. The scoops are huge, there are a ton of flavors (including vegan), and the waffle cones and ice cream are tasty. There's a reason why Big Olaf is in its 49th season and its because the ice cream is so good. Friendly staff, free samples, and free parking out front. Just remember to bring your ca$h monies!!! read more

ALWAYS WORTH THE WAIT!!! Best ice cream out here. CASH ONLY!!! Ambiance is chill (literally). The service is excellent. read more

Cash-only ice cream spot with a huge flavor selection! We waited in a long line, but it was worth it. Plenty of flavors, including dairy-free options. I had the Birthday Cake ice cream with Oreos on top--loved the icing mixed in! The kids' size is surprisingly generous and made for the perfect portion! TL;DR: Cash-only, long lines, but worth it. The kids' size is perfect for one scoop! read more

Cash only!! There was a line when we went but the wait was only around 10-15 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. They allow 2 samples per customer. Would highly highly recommend the ice cream sandwich... their cookies, which tasted homemade and freshly baked, were honestly some of the tastiest chocolate chip cookies I have ever had. The cookie had such a nice crunch factor on the outside, and came warm and so extremely flavorful and soft. For the waffle cone -- looked better than it tasted. I loved the moose tracks flavor and health bar crunch yogurt flavor (did not taste healthy at all; in fact tasted like normal ice cream). Moose tracks honestly tasted like a superior, lighter cookies and cream. Also got the toasted coconut, which I liked since it has shards of coconut crisps for the extra crunch. Highly recommend for a dessert or snack in sag harbor!! read more

As you would expect in peak summer, line was very long at Olaf's but still moved pretty quickly! Ice cream was delicious but important to note the establishment is cash only! It's in a wonderful location where you can walk out to the docks with your ice cream after. Would highly reccomend the trip! read more

Big Olaf just opened back up today for the summer season! So excited Truly awesome local organic ice cream parlor with yogurt, gluten-free, and vegan options. Waffle cones. Fudge. Toppings. The whole package ! 48th year in business, so you know it's legit. Note : it's cash only read more

Tasty ice cream but with $30+ million priced yachts right up the way, be prepared to pay $8 for a single scoop cone of tasty, but overpriced ice cream. Big Olaf is the big-ripoff for an ordinary plebe like me. read more

I got the Salted Caramel ice cream in a waffle cone. It wasn't very salty which was disappointing. Also not very caramely. It tasted like vanilla pretty much. There were chocolate covered pretzels in it which were good. The waffle cone was really yummy. $8 The set up of the shop makes no sense. There's no clear line and since it's so popular there's a lot of people there but no one knows where to go. A few other customers who had been waiting were getting frustrated. read more

Big Olaf - Salted Caramel Waffle Cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sag Harbor, New York

I am a huge fan of the WIDE variety of flavor options, though, not so much a huge fan of the never ending line. Be completly prepared if you do wish to come here, especially this summer since the hamptons have become everyones hot-spot. I would plan on waiting 30-45 minutes at a busy hour, so if you happen to catch Big Olaf's at a lull most definitely take advantage. The prices here are also pretty high but what else can you expect from a small independent shop in the hamptons. I come here occasionally and I do have to say whenever I do it never disappoints. Usually I go for a vanilla based ice cream in a wafer cone with rainbow sprinkles. But the chocolate, or any other flavor, and the milkshakes are just as good. Bottom line it's a special treat and delicious. read more

What can I say Big Olaf has been there since forever, this place only takes cash so be prepared. It is a hampton ice cream spot so it's hampton price ice cream. Parking can be a nightmare. Do recommend parking not in the long wharf are maybe the spot opposite the legion would be better and walk down We usually walk down to long wharf after getting ice cream to enjoy the view. I would say they have a good a selection of flavors, personally love the birthday cake looks . read more

They had an amazing peanut butter ice cream! The waffle cones are made in house one by one. The line goes by pretty fast, so don't be intimated by the line going down the street. Tons of great flavors and sundae options. They also have some soft serve options as well. read more

I'm so happy Big Olaf is open again for the season! It was a bit emptier when I went, so I definitely savored that since I know there will be a line out of the door soon. I got the cookie dough, and it was delicious! Probably the best I've ever had. The staff were really nice and eager to help. Will definitely be back as much as I can this season read more

My favorite ice cream I've ever had. The smell of the warm cones being made in the store billows out on to the marina. The smell draws you into the store. So good!!!!!! read more

Best ice cream in town better than Buddha Berry!!!! I love the Ice Cream!!!!!! It is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Gooooooooooooooooooood read more

Of the three or so places to get ice cream in Sag Harbor, Big Olaf is #1, even when the line is out the door! Flavors are delicious and many. Regular cones or the waffle cones are yummy. read more

The best ice cream from Giffords of Maine , off the charts , the service, the teams and the experience is sublime

Oh gosh my review requires an update - I give them 5/5 for both ice cream and waffle cone even though I've only had one flavor for years - it is really that Good - salted caramel and chocolate! Cash only! read more

The later in the day (past 7p) you should expect a line. Everyone is really respectful of masks and only two parties inside at a time. Milkshakes are delicious, but can be time consuming as they are making them one at a time. The homemade waffle cone is a must! read more

This is a really solid ice cream shop in Sag Harbor. While the line can be long, it is worthwhile. Last night I waited in line for about 15 minutes, but the line seemed to be moving at a decent pace. Everyone in my group liked their ice cream. I got their soft serve swirl of chocolate and vanilla in a waffle cone. It was all very good and their waffle cones are homemade and delicious! They have various toppings for your ice cream too if you like that. While there is no seating area, if you walk outside the shop there is a nice small boardwalk like area that you can hang out at while eating your ice cream. read more

Big Olaf - S'mores ice cream with cookie dough topping - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sag Harbor, New York

First of all, it's a completely wasted opportunity that this place doesn't have Olaf from Frozen as its mascot. Okay, I understand that Disney would totally sue their asses, but they could at least draw him on a white board or something. Anyway, the line is huge but moves quickly. They let you try a few samples and they've got a few dozen different flavors, both classic and fun (like "superman", which is a mix of red, yellow and blue sorbets). I really wanted dulce de leche but they didn't have it. I instead went with the butter pecan in a mini waffle cone ($6) and it was plenty of ice cream. The waffle cone was fresh and crisp and the ice cream was delicious, but nothing out of this world. It's also pretty expensive. Decent service. 3.5 stars. read more

I LOVE IT! BEST ICE CREAM EVER! Go here whenever you are nearby. Just made sure you have cash as it is cash only, but ther was an ATM nearby to get out cash read more

What's better than Ice Cream and the beach!!! Great selection with overly abundant servings and polite service. Just a fun yummy experience. I had the Butter Pecan but I'm coming back soon for the Rocky Roads. read more

Came out to The Hamptons to get away for a few days. Stopped by Sag Harbor to see if there were any of the big yachts to check out. Most stores were closed but people were walking around enjoying some ice cream cones so we decided to join in. We had a rum raisin and you can taste the rum flavor. Another was cookies and cream and it had a good amount cookies. Last was a peanut butter Oreo and moose trac and the feedback was tasty. The waffle cones were fresh and so it was a good experience. read more

I was hesitant to try this as it gets bad reviews but the ice cream was soooo good! Such a surprise and am shocked at the bad reviews. The Mississippi mud pie was good but my favorite was the s'mores. The waffle cones are made fresh and the mini size is huge. read more

I've never met such rude employees. We ordered two ice creams, small, and received one. We said something and the person serving us threw the ice cream out angrily and was mute. I'll never come here again. Oh, and a a small ice cream is 6 dollars. read more

Pretty good ice cream, just wish there were more cookie dough pieces in the cookie dough flavor. Not a long wait the night before the 4th of July! read more

Must stop by at Big Olaf if you are in the town of Sag Harbor, NY. I was planning on my first family trip to Long Island, and read about this place on Disney's family travel website. This ice cream shop serves wide variety of flavors and toppings. I tried Cake Batter and Moose Tracks (most popular one here) and loved both. There are benches outside the shop to enjoy your ice cream or you can take it to the beach by the windmill. It feels so refreshing to have ice cream by the water with a great view! Perfect for families to stop by. read more

Great ice cream Great employees Great service Great views of sunsets and yachts On summer weekends prepare for 15-30 min line for wait time but worth every second of it. Go to choices are mint chocolate chip or moose tracks on a waffle cone! read more

Very forgettable ice cream. It's perfectly fine, just not noteworthy in flavor, texture or quality. When factoring in the sticker price ($17 for a single scoop in a waffle cone and a singe scoop in a cup with one topping- that's probably why they're cash only right? In an audit, who would believe you could charge that much for a single scoop of ice cream?) this does give you pause to consider the new Yummylicious froyo spot diagonally across the street. read more

*** REVIEW ONLY FOR THE WAFFLE CONES *** Big Olaf's is harborside - in Sag Harbor next to The Dockhouse. I decided not to try their ice cream, which you think you smell before you even walk in the door. But in fact, what you're smelling is freshly made waffle cones. They make them in house, right before your eyes. Now, I"m not usually one to say this - but OMG amazing!!!! For $1 you can get a waffle cone. Forget the ice cream, and just get the waffle cone by itself - trust me and take my advice. You won't regret it. On our way back to the boat (which was parked at the harbor - we decided to pay sag harbor a visit from the north fork lol), we even decided to go back and get seconds - it was THAT good! read more

Worst customer service on the planet, but excellent ice cream! This place is by far the most incompetently-run business I've seen in years! It's like walking into a farce with characters acting as bad servers lol! BUT the ice cream is really good. Plus it's pretty humorous how bad the workmanship is. read more

Tasty ice cream, nice variety, probably 25-30 choices. Small space, no seating inside, but there's a bench or two outside. Located on Long Wharf, so really convenient if you've parked there. $6.50 for a medium, $5.50 for a small. A bit pricy - probably par for the course in the Hamptons - worth a stop. read more

No wait at 3pm on a Saturday on a hot sunny day. Amazing flavors and really crispy and tasty cones. read more
