    Kiddie (mint chip / coffee Oreo)
    Eva A.

    Ice cream itself is nothing to call home about, but they have a lot of flavors and are definitely not shy with their mix ins. Coffee Oreo is super packed with cookies, as are all their choc chip flavors, and the coconut almond chip is lowkey more nuts and chocolate than ice cream but I'm not complaining. The portions are large and definitely worth the price. A kiddie can have two flavors and is comparable in size to a Ben & Jerry's small? Maybe? For 2/3 the price. They also have lids for cups, which is so appreciated!!

    When my family is on vacation on cape cod nauset ice cream is part of the experience. Great flavors with outstanding service from friendly people make the experience truly memorable. Most cape dining experiences leave you cringing on the value and cost. Nauset is down home old school great value ice cream. Many homemade flavors with different options for all tastes. All within the confines of your wallet. Great value for the money. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed!

    4 different ice creams ordered and 5 different opinions when we were done. First thing we noticed is the line. It was an early evening on July 2nd and the line was "out the door". Of course, we had to check it out. After waiting a short time, we were able to enter and place our orders. The wait staff was very pleasant and easy going. Our choices for size were kiddie, small and regular. Like most places, the kiddie is a small, a small is a large and a regular is an xl. We all had ice cream in a cup with a spoon and went outside to enjoy it. There are 4 tables with 4-5 chairs to sit and enjoy after ordering, which was very nice! I had the coffee heath bar, which was good but not the best I have had. It is hard not to love ice cream but for some reason the taste was not overwhelming. The Peanut butter Oreo and Cookie Dough were reported to be excellent! Finally, the mint chocolate chip was not a big hit. It did not have enough chocolate chips and the color was not green (not saying it has to be green because I have seen it before) but it was not very tasty, too! I gave 4 stars for the two complaints Plenty of parking Price was fair Service was excellent with a smile Line did not take too long

    Nauset Ice Cream is a creamery that opened in Eastham, Massachusetts in 1998. It was founded by Joanne Cremins. The ice cream is made fresh on a daily basis. They have over 30 different flavors to choose from on any given day. In addition to their regular selection of ice cream, Nauset Ice Cream also offers frozen drinks, ice cream sodas, frozen yogurt, sorbet and sugar free/low fat ice cream flavors. My wife, son and I visited Nauset Ice Cream last week while we were on a week-long family vacation in Cape Cod. We visited in the early evening hours for an after dinner treat. They place was hopping; a small line was out the door and there were several customers eating outside. After scanning the menu, my wife decided on a cup of Caramel Sea Salt with Heath Bar chunks. She was very happy with her decision. I ordered my favorite: Mint Chip. Although most creameries serve Mint Chip ice cream that is green, Nauset Ice Cream serves there's the traditional way: white. That's right, green mint chip ice cream is dyed that way with food coloring. For this alone, Nauset Ice Cream already earned several bonus points with me. My wife and I both agreed that they have some of the best ice cream we ever had! We'll definitely be back when we make future trips to Cape Cod.

    We love great ice cream and whenever we travel we are always in search of the local stores that might make the " best" ice cream in a particular neighborhood. When we were in Cape Cod, we heard about Nauset Ice Cream and word was that their homemade ice cream was spectacular! We made a date to visit their store and sampled five different flavors . Our favorite was Ginger Ice Cream! It was indeed spectacular. We also loved their purple cow and their coffee ice cream as well as their pistachio and coffee flavors. I'm only sorry we couldn't figure out how to keep their ice cream frozen for our 7 hour ride hone!

    I will go back and test more flavors this week, have spent a week so far on the Cape and this was the creamiest ice cream so far! And I have been testing LOL. Worth your while to checkout. Generous single and nice staff. Tables outside. Two big thumbs up!

    This pic was taken at dinner time, a good time to go.

    Are they still only accepting cash or check? More people would prob go if they accepted AMEX or even visa/MC.

    We arrived at Arnold's at ~4:30 on a Saturday afternoon. There was a line out the door but it moved…read morequickly and the weather was sunny and warm so we didn't mind the wait. My wife ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the whole belly clams basket. You order at the front counter and then you can sit at a table (it's a big place so there are lots of places to sit) and they call your name on a loudspeaker. My wife's fish was ~6 kinda small pieces that at first I thought were chicken tenders but they were indeed fish and she said they were very good - tasted fresh and had a nice light coating on them. My whole belly clams were a very generous portion of clams on top of a good portion of French fries. Since my stop the previous week at Surfside Seafood in Orleans (already reviewed on Google and Yelp) with a paltry portion of puny strip-like whole belly clams I was a little nervous about ordering clams even at a different restaurant but the serving at Arnold's was very large - absolutely no complaints from me! Very large clams, nicely fried and they all tasted great! I wasn't crazy about the fries - they were those twice-fried frozen fries that I've never been a fan of - I don't understand why restaurants don't make their own fries, especially if they have a good sized kitchen to do it in. The coleslaw was very good - maybe the best I've had on the Cape! They even put cranberries in it which added a fabulous texture to the slaw. Not overly wet with liquid, which is just the way I like my coleslaw and since my wife doesn't like coleslaw, I was able to have hers! Anyway, the food was very good! There wasn't any grease on the bottom of either of our plates, which is testament to their fryolators being clean and the oil being new and hot. We sat way in the back in the tent area and there was a nice young lady there who was cleaning tables as needed and she came by and asked if she could take our plates when we were done with our meal. Prices were reasonable - ~$65 for our two meals which as anyone who has eaten at a seafood restaurant on the Cape knows, is not bad at all. Besides the fries being very ordinary, I really enjoyed Arnold's and we will definitely be back. They have a very large parking lot and as others have noted, it's a cash only restaurant (they do have signs at the front counter indicating that there are two ATM machines on the premises). The entire staff there was friendly and welcoming and worked to make our visit an enjoyable one.

    When I mentioned to my friend who lives here that we were eating at Arnold's, his response was…read more"Worst food on the Cape." I don't know about that because I'm only visiting, but it was certainly not worth the line or the price. Long wait, but then a very nice employee took our order. The food is meh. The outdoor tables are SO sticky. Tip jars everywhere, even after we already tipped well at the register. Lucky we had that much for the cash-only policy. It's not cheap & it's not good, so why go here?

    This is another go-to stop when visiting Cape Cod every year. The review is going toward the…read moremini-golfing. There are 18 holes in this location and the layout is pretty decent. I've noticed some major upgrades that have been made since we returned this year. Different obstacles have been put in place, which gives a different variety. I'm big with variety, as I do like changes to an extent. Every hole I have no problem with, but the last hole, take caution. There are steps that lead up to this hole, and when coming down, there are is a little step you have to take before reaching the stairs climbing down. It's a trip hazard and something needs to be done about it to level it straight. Other than that, it's a fun mini golf course.

    So do you understand the principle of quantum superposition? It's like if you are going to enter a…read moreroom and you don't know if the lights are on or off - but there is an even chance either way - so your knowledge of the state of the lights is a function: 1/2 on + 1/2 off. And yes I know that isn't normalized but let it alone. This place is like that. The mini-golf is great, super fun course with a loop-de-loop. But then the food situation is complicated - some years they have it and some years they don't. And you never know. And when they have it it's great. But when they don't it's sad and you are disappointed but you still like the mini-golf. Add in that the bar may or may not be there and if it is it may or may not be open and the wave function of you chance of happiness here looks something like this: 1/4(+golf+food+bar)+ 1/4(+golf+food~bar)+ 1/4(+golf-food +bar)+ 1/4(+golf- food-bar) Again not normalized but whatever. So there it is, this place exists in a quantum superposition. Of true awesomeness and partial sadness and like in life you never know what you are going to get. So enjoy the randomness and ride the wave-function, dude, if life were certain we'd all be as bored as laplace's demon. But bring peanut butter and jelly sandwiches just in case. Five stars.
