Lemon Streussel Ice Cream
Jordan B.

There's not a whole lot of late night happenings in Cape Charles; however, there are a few ice cream spots that are open after the sun goes down. Out of the ones my friends and I saw, Brown Dog by far had the longest line, so we had to follow the crowd and hop in line to see what the fuss was about. The line moves pretty quickly, and once you're inside, you'll see all the different flavors they have while taking in all the cute dog themed interior. They're pretty efficient, I didn't think that they'd let us sample flavors because they were so busy, but the staff insisted when I said it was my first time. That was so nice of them. After sampling a couple of flavors, I ultimately decided on the Lemon Streussel. It was so good and creamy, and the struessel crumble pieces really set it off. All in all, Brown Dog Ice Cream was one of the best parts of my weekend trip to Cape Charles.

Brown dog Ice Cream in Cape Charles is a must visit for anybody with a sweet tooth and a love for all things local! Homemade unique flavors that are made in small batches using fresh ingredients. Every single one that we had was so good. I don't even know how my lemon poppyseed pound cake was so good. It was not too sweet and the pound cake wasn't frozen it gelt like it was freshly wrapped into the ice cream. Amazing The service is great and I was torn between two flavors and the hands down told me which one was their favorite. And I agree. I'm so glad I listened. Do expect lines. It's summertime and obviously everybody knows how good this is

The store front of Brown Dog Ice Cream.

Brown Dog is a classic ice cream shop serving the downtown and beach crowds. They had 12 flavors when we visited. There are three tables, nine seats total inside and some cushions at the bay windows. The servers have been trained well. They are courteous, friendly and efficient.

Pistachio Ice Cream with rainbow jimmies. Yum.

Omfg. Number one. So cute. The service is fast & friendly even though it seems like they stay absolutely packed. The ice cream is to die for. I'd go back every day if I could. Love love loved it!

Brownie & banana pudding

So glad we made it to Brown Dog Ice cream on our day trip to Cape Charles! I love me some ice cream! I was sad to see they sold out of their chocolate chip cherry pints because it sounded fantastic. Due to the pandemic, you can only order at the window front and take your ice cream to go. We initially were the only ones there. But no sooner than we started sampling a few of their flavors did a crowd of people start to line up out of nowhere! I chose the vanilla salted caramel brownie and the Banana pudding in a waffle cone. The scoops are a good size! The ice cream is so creamy and soft! From the ice cream down to the waffle cone, fully satiated my sweet tooth! I truly enjoy patronizing small local ice cream shops for their unique flavors and who can resist the cute logo and reason the ice cream shop is named after ( the owner's very own brown dog)! *They have limited hours. Check out their Instagram for updates. I think currently they are now on fall hours which they are only open Saturdays and Sundays 12pm-7pm.

So good! I like their unique flavors but they still have the classics. The staff was friendly.

Butterscotch with chocolate chunks was delicious!!
Edward K.

Brown Dog Ice Cream was the highlight of my recent trip to Cape Charles. I had a single scoop and ended up wishing that I tried the four flavors that I was struggling to choose from. I ended up choosing their butterscotch flavor with chocolate chunks. I could taste the freshness and quality, nothing artificial about it. Very refreshing on a hot day. My daughters selected cookies and cream and found some substantial cookie pieces. I got to finish some and thought it was also excellent. If you're in Cape Charles, you need to have Brown Dog Ice Cream!

Delicious icecream
Marcella A.

My husband and I wanted to know what was up with the long forever line wrapped around the corner . Well a couple cool facts about this spot is : 1. There icecream is rated the #10 on Trip Advisor. 2. There icecream is homemade 3. Voted the best icecream in the United States. Very delicious icecream and the prices are fairly cheap. I gotten two scoops of Cookies and cream and Vanialla , both were very delicious. You most definitely have to come here and check em out .

Honey lemon lavender is exceptionally good! Coffee was good too and black raspberry was amazing too. Line moved fast on a hot Saturday afternoon

This was my first time. I normally go to another place a little future down the street, but win for…read morethem as they were open on this Saturday afternoon I was there. The decor was so cute The shop is small, you can eat inside, but I am sure it does become crowded. There is a bench outside the shop. There is the cutest cow bench as well inside. When we walked in we order quick. I got a strawberry milkshake to try and share, the reeses pieces ice cream and at the last minute I noticed "wooder" ice! Good ol Philadelphia treat. I highly recommend getting the water ice, I enjoyed the cotton candy flavor. They did have cherry,, and mango flavors as well. Not that reeses flavor was sooooo good. It had great peanut butter flavor with a few reeses pieces to enjoy. The strawberry shake had chunks of strawberries in it and the cup was laced with strawberry syrup/sauce. The two employees working when I was there were a lot of fun. They helped guide us on their flavors. They put in a lot of effort to make my strawberry shake look and taste yummy.

I had a great experience at Cowlick's after a not-so-great experience at their competitor down the…read moreroad (was initially ignored and they don't have plant-based ice cream options until the summer). The vibe at Cowlick's, however, was totally different. As soon as I walked into the busy shop I was warmly greeted and I saw the employees smiling and engaging with customers. The shop is bright, well-lit and colorful. They have a segmented overhead menu for their traditional ice cream and for the plant-based ice cream, which is clearly labeled and easy to read. I got the plant-based Cookies & Cream and my husband got their award-winning Carmel Cookie Butter flavor. We had great, friendly service and a smooth order process. This was my first time in a Cowlick's shop and I love that they give you a waffle cone chip with your order! I love waffle cones but usually opt for the cup because it's less expensive and less messy, but this was the best of both worlds with the waffle cone chip! The plant-based Cookies & Cream is made from pea protein and was rich, creamy, and delicious! My husband also enjoyed his Carmel Cookie Butter. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I'm looking forward to coming back again next time!
