This ice cream shop is busy for a reason. There was a line out the door when we went after dinner. They have shelves with candy, snacks, and merch near the entrance. Super smart because I ended up grabbing some candy as I waited. There's some interesting flavors like Shark Attack, and I chose the Nerds flavor and classic vanilla. I liked it way more than expected. The portion size was reasonable for the cost. Would definitely come back. read more

Mad Martha's is a really solid ice cream place with some classic flavors and exciting specialty flavors. I loved the Shark Attack and especially the Catboat Crunch, a delicious chocolatey toffee ice cream that I will be thinking about for a while! Good size portions but still felt a little overproduced. Overall, if you're looking for a sweet treat this place won't disappoint. read more

Always hunting for the best ice cream in the cape. This definitely is one of the better and more popular spots on Martha's Vineyard, easy to find and access - multiple flavors and samples allowed before you choose which is a plus! read more

They have so many different flavors to choose from with cup or cone options. They also sell candy and clothes. Cute shop and we had the small for one scoop for $7 each, maple walnut and caption crunch. Great customer service and very friendly read more

Fantastic option for a late night treat in Edgartown. Very robust selection of flavors but I was especially pleased with the Lucky Charms flavor of the month. I'd had something similar but not as good at Salt & Straw years ago! There can definitely be a bit of a line but this is all part of the experience. read more

We ordered the waffle cone with maple walnut and butter crunch ice cream. The waffle cone was not super fresh or warm or anything was it was served, but it was good and big. The maple walnut and butter crunch ice cream were also solid. The maple walnut was good and had the right flavors though I think the butter crunch was better than the maple walnut, which was a little plain in comparison. Overall, the ice cream here is pretty good. read more

Went here on Monday July 15th 2024, as part of our visit to Martha's Vineyard to walk the streets that chief brody walked on. This was a pit stop because it was hot, and we wanted ice cream. They have plenty of flavors, and can make shakes, and smoothies too. They also had seating where we sat and enjoyed our ice cream. Service was very good as they scooped our ice creams. I got the cookie dough small in a cup, my dad got chocolate in a cup, and my mom got mint chocolate chip in a cone. Paid via credit card. We all enjoyed our refreshing ice cream. read more

Excellent ice cream, somewhat of a line. I had the 3 scoop bowl with pistachio and vanilla.

It was fine. Exactly what you would expect. If you want one scoop, no you cannot get a half scoop of two flavors. One note - if you have a food allergy, I would highly suggest asking the ingredients. I got the pistachio and it very much had almond extract in it, so be mindful if you have an allergy. read more

Very disappointed especially the service. The pistachio flavor tastes minty and the color does not look like good pistachio so I told the staff to change one scoop for me. And she told me she didn't get why I don't like my pistachio flavor and she charged me one more scoop for changing one flavor. I never had such a poor customer service before. I don't mind paying for the scoop of ice cream but I care about more the experience. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL. Very disappointed read more

not to be dramatic or anything but this ice cream was totally life changing. the vibes r off the mfing charts, the workers r all young n peppy and super happy to answer any questions u have. But if u have a question of "hmm what flavor should I order?" I can get that one for u: the BLUEBERRY is hands down the BEST blueberry ice cream I've ever had, taken from someone who religiously orders that flavor. I swear on everything that I've had multiple dreams about their blueberry ice cream and all of its deliciousness. Just waiting for the day they offer shipping bc I would stockpile this stuff in an instant read more

The hotel guy recommended this ice cream place to us. There's 3 ice cream places all close by but the place right by the water gets more customers. They do a good job at keeping a certain amount of customers inside. You can pay with Apple Pay so that was easy. The ice cream was good. The Oreo one was good. My son loved the Mint Oreo one. Chocolate was good but my daughter said it was a bit nutty. This is the better ice cream place in the area. We prefer this one over the others. read more

Mad Martha's is very good icecream don't get me wrong. It is extremely overpriced though, a small being 7 dollars. They have a good variety of flavors. Sometimes there is a long line but moves pretty quickly. Good for when your craving something sweet. Cant go wrong. Not a cheap spot though. read more

Decent ice cream, it is pretty expensive though. $7.50 for just one scoop, hence why I docked it a star. We got the coconut, snickerdoodle, and sea salt caramel and all were pretty good. It's a cute shop. A good place to go to if you're craving ice cream on the island. read more

This shop is very cute :) It is a little pricey, but considering it's a homemade ice-cram shop it's more worth it. Good variety of flavors and good (but not astonishing) ice cream. The waffle cone was the best part because of it's crunch level. The cashier gave us samples and brought charm/rizz, haha. Overall, pleasurable stop read more

I do prefer mad Martha's to the other options on the island but not for waffle cones. Waffle cones go to scoops. Try the pigs delight if you are brave or have ten people to assist in eating ten scoops plus toppings. Order by saying "oink". This place takes credit cards. read more

I know it's iconic, and I have been here many times but I am not a fan. Too much sugar in the ice cream and not enough flavor. It tastes like just sugar and cream. Does not stand up to the top tier ice cream places on MV. More flavor please. read more

Ok ice cream. Staff was rude and it took them 20 min to get my ice cream. Ambiance is cool kind of but not picture worthy.

Sorry but this ice cream was terrible. I love grabbing some good homemade ice cream on vacation and this had absolutely zero flavor. You could get better ice cream at the grocery store. read more

If you are looking for delicious, freshly made on-site, amazing ice cream dished up by friendly staff, look no further! Wide variety of flavors - 32 to be exact and a host of ice cream shakes and sundaes. This is an absolute must! We are looking forward to returning on our next trip! PS: Remember to tip the awesome staff! read more

Mad Martha's serves delicious homemade ice cream! The texture is perfect and the flavor options are excellent. I highly recommend it!

This place is fine. The issue is that they have these super young kids working who aren't exactly motivated. Did they provide service? Sure. Was it good? not really? Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? Probably, not as I wouldn't come back. read more

Countless flavors of ice cream in the heart of Edgartown. They have sugar and waffle cones options. Plenty of seating inside to sit and enjoy the decor. They have the option of an ice cream cookie sandwich with a flavor of your choice. Friendly staff. Note - it's cash only! read more

Chocolate frappe was so delicious! I ended up drinking it so quickly; as a result of that, I had brain freeze! Not a long wait time either.

I don't get why everyone loves this place so much. For days all I heard that I must go and try Mad Martha's ice cream. Ok. I went and I tried the rasberry ice cream and it was just ok. The rasberries were frozen frozen I tell you! expensive for one scoop $5. The other night I bought at the grocery store raspberry ice cream and I thought it was as good if not better. However I was very fascinated with the gigantic jar of gigantic pickles that they had at the deli/sandwich shop. read more

Amazing ice cream! They have a great variety of flavors and are very kind and helpful. I got a regular cup with snickers ice cream and apple fritter ice cream which was a weekly special. The apple fritter was delicious and made using back door donuts apple fritter. read more

We heard this is the best ice cream option on MV and it was pretty good. Definitely not super complex or mind-blowing but just good, fun ice cream. Not too creamy, not too watery, not too chunky, not too smooth -- just middle of the road scoops for a summer day at the beach. They have multiple locations across Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs, and Edgartown, and a small will run you $4 or $5. My biggest wish is that they offered a kiddie scoop -- a small is just way too much for a normal 5'2" woman who hasn't done cardio that day to handle. They're taking COVID seriously so no sampling and a person limit within stores. So you can feel safe while getting your 'scream! read more

This ice cream place is overrated. I've been here a handful of times and it's consistently disappointing. I recently tried the Mint Oreo that had 0 pieces of Oreo in it, and Reese's Cream which was vanilla ice cream with a literal pinch of crushed Reese's. $7.50 per single scoop, $8.50 for two scoops. Don't bother unless you want to pay extra for the toppings that should already be mixed in. Wish I could say that this was an exaggeration. read more

I had the mud pie and it was amazing! I had it in a cup with a cone on top and kind of wish I got it in a cone to begin with. They do have COVID restrictions in place and I would go back to try the maple walnut as I heard great things about it. read more

Mad Martha's is one of those Don't Miss places on the Vineyard. It has been in business for 46 years & offers about 20 flavors. My current faves are Snickers Cream & Maple Walnut. The perfect Summer treat. & They're Open until Midnight during the Season. You might think that everyone on the island is in line on the weekends. Other locations are Oak Bluffs & Vineyard Haven. The wall of ice cream art illustrations is interesting. Cash only. read more

The MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP is THE BEST I have ever had!! Side note: I've traveled a bit for work and believe whole-heartedly in eating my way thru a city. So I've had a lot of mint chocolate chip ice cream ;) Typically, it'll be a hint of mint or if you're lucky, a distinctive flavor. That zing and refreshing sensation you get with fresh mint leaves is unheard of - at least by moi - in dairy products. I got 2 scoops AND came back the next day for more! I raved on and on about the flavors so Alex, with pride and a beaming smile, went on to explain about the ingredients that are so discriminatingly selected for their ice cream. If you're in Edgartown you should definitely give Mad Martha's ice cream a visit. Great customer service and even better ice cream! read more

I have been enjoying Mad Martha's Homemade Ice Cream since I was a little girl, and I can tell you that without a doubt, it continues to be some of the best ice cream out there!! My two favorite flavors are Mocha Chip and Sinful Chocolate (which has Heath bars in it...mmmm!!!). They also make low-fat versions of these in frozen yogurt, which don't taste nearly as rich or delicious, but are definitely a great option if you are watching your calories/fat! During the season, this location of Mad Martha's is open until 12 am!! That's pretty awesome, given how few late night food or drink options one has on the Vineyard in general, and in Edgartown specifically. And the people who work here are polite, helpful, and very accommodating...given all the drunk vacationers they get late at night, I'm always impressed by how kind and friendly they are at 11:30 pm!!! This is a cash-only place, as is true of many places on the island. They have sandwiches, too, during the day, but I only come here for the ice cream. There is no public bathroom, which is also typical for MV. The main level is WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE, but the upstairs can only be reached by staircase...luckily, it's entirely unnecessary to go up there in order to get your ice cream or sandwiches! I thoroughly recommend this Mad Martha's Homemade Ice Cream location to satisfy your late-night ice cream desires!!! read more

I found the ice cream super delicious and friendly server! I ordered the sea salt caramel as wel as rainbow sherbet!

It was good. No sherbets, though. We had the black cherry, peppermint and blueberry. The local shops we were shopping at highly recommended. Limited seating. Says no pets can be in the seating area, even outdoors. Nobody seemed to care, though. We had a well behaved pooch with us who did fine read more
