    Royal brownie fudge and mango dole whip
    Drashti T.

    This ice cream place is located right where you park as you head to the beach. A great place to stop by to get a treat on a hot day which is what we did. I got the royal fudge brownie. It was creamy and rich satisfying my chocolate addiction. The mango dole whip was very refreshing and light. The service was quick and the staff were friendly. Highly recommend to stop by as you head to or back from the beach

    Beautiful sunset!

    Great small-town dessert option for families or visitors! Highly recommend! Love the amount of options, and our server was amicable, and we had lots of conversations with her! You can also catch pretty sunsets at night like we did!

    This ice cream was delicious! I thoroughly loved the small town ice cream aesthetic shop that it gave. Highly recommended to all friends and family!

    Great ice cream. Came here after going to the beach. Huge quantities too with unique flavors.

    This is your regular local ice cream shop. I've seen many branches alongside commuter rail cities and have always wanted to try it. This place has a very local feel. Inside the place has newspaper articles and a hand written menu. The service wasn't the nicest, but I think that's all you get with high school kids. The location is ideal, close to singing beach. Makes it ideal to grab some treats and walk to the beach. I got the medium scoop of the mud slide. It was chocolate with swirls of brownie. The medium scope (pictured) is a very large portion! But hey I'm not complaining.

    My friends and I stopped by after a few hours at the beach. It is a tiny little shack and has a very modest, authentic feel. I ordered a small cup of the mocha chip ice cream, which ended up being HUGE. And it was delicious! Definitely fresh and homemade. You can't get ice cream like this in the frozen section. Stop by if you are ever in the area!

    I cannot even believe I am THIS pissed about getting a simple ice cream. Which by the way, should be nothing but easy breezy fun. Why on earth you would put ice cream in a container smaller than the ice cream itself is anything but beyond me. My chocolate ice cream was running down the sides of my cup before I left the window. A completely failed effort to strategically rush to eat the ice cream before it was ALL over my dress (I looked like a murder victim) and dripping down every corner of my hand. My ice cream became the enemy. I After a futile gallant attempt to conquer the mess I ended up just throwing it in the garbage before I became the ice cream. I made my way back to the window convinced if they saw the disaster they would graciously give me a small ice cream in a large cup --- at no cost. The gals response was actually, and I quote, "we cannot control how fast the ice cream melts." Yes, really. I once again pointed out that was not the point, or the problem. The source of the problem is some fool doesn't understand sizing. Simple shit we learned in kindergarten. Then -- another gal comes to the window. Says she can give me another ice cream for a dollar. Yes, really. I declined. My fun ice cream was now a full on buzz kill. Then, some icing on the cake, the gals behind me asked for their small ice creams in larger cups based on what they saw me wearing, and the staff actually said NO. They refused to give these ladies larger cups. Yes, really. My boyfriend --- pretty much the same story. although he persevered. See the lovely photo. With nowhere to wash ones hands. Interesting outfits we wore to our cocktail party that evening. We looked like something the cats dragged in. A hardy New England north shore gal, I have been going to CaptDusty's my whole life. But think I just might get my ice cream elsewhere next time. As for the owners, in the spirit of training your summer help, perhaps they should get a little training on how to make a mess something with a solution and a simple "sorry, happy to make this right, and geez, you have a good point."

    Dusty's brings a smile to everyone's face. How can you be displeased with home churned ice cream, a plethora of froyo flavors and refreshing sorbets. Everything tastes better from a little white shack, right?

    The homemade ice cream is delicious, they'll put gummi glow worms or Swedish fish on it, the park across the street is beautiful and there are snowy egrets in the salt marsh. Obviously five stars.

    Such a disappointment. Don't order their chocolate frappe which is pretty much a cold milk with a chocolate syrup:/

    Downriver Ice Cream was just what we needed, after spending an entire day at Crane Beach! It was…read moreabout a 7 min drive away from the beach and was well worth the stop. Pretty packed the day we went, but luckily the line moved fast so we didn't have to do much waiting. Unfortunately the day we went, they were out of a bunch of flavors, mostly the fruit flavors that we typically gravitate towards. We ended up getting some ice cream to try anyways and it was yummy & creamy. We ordered one with strawberry + butter pecan, and another with willy wonka explosion. I really enjoyed the strawberry + butter pecan; strawberry had a bunch of strawberries in it & butter pecan was subtle but you could definitely still taste the butter + pecan. The Willy wonka explosion is perfect for if you're someone who loves chocolate candies like M&Ms, butter fingers, & snickers. The staff was very kind, they've got their own parking lot that's free to park, and a cute little seating area to enjoy your ice cream! Will definitely remember to come back the next time I'm in the area and try their fruit flavors!

    Can't find my photos but, we stopped in here after a day at crane beach! Very close by probably…read more5-10 min drive from the beach and I guess everyone else had the same idea haha This has the cute mom and pop ice cream shop feel. Order window, a ton of flavors to choose from (too bad the 3 flavors i wanted were out of stock that day) but i felt the ice cream was a heavier creamy style, tons of flavor and something for everyone. It's ice cream so any sweets for me in moderation! Def want to come back to try the sorbets!
