What a great ice cream place! The owner was so friendly throughout our visit. Cute decor and a large area to sit outside. So many choices of ice cream-but the best part is it's Bluebell! I've never been to an ice cream store that sells it. It is the best! I had coconut and it was so creamy with a lot of fresh shredded coconut in it. The back patio area has some really nice murals and a big chalkboard on one side of the building you can write on. I will definitely be going back here! read more

Upon leaving the comfort of Buckroe Beach, a hidden gem has appeared. There's nothing better than fresh cooling ice cream or frozen refreshments after a day at the beach. The oatmeal crème pie was amazing with the taste of maple syrup. Now for those that need something light on the tummy, try tigers blood snow cone. Don't let the name fool you because it's delicious! The picture of the snow cone tells I forget to get a picture before I started eating . And if you are scared that the snow will melt, it lasted till I arrived back in Richmond. Perfect for the family with adequate parking. It's small inside with a big heart. read more

We absolutely LOVED Sommer Freeze! After a friend & I took our boys to buckroe playground we found ourselves burning up with the sun beating down on us... a nice cold treat is what we needed! Dana recommended Sommer Freeze & now I know why! For starters, be careful when using GPS if you blink you'll miss it! There isn't much signage to make it apparent from the road who they are. When you walk in the shop it's a pretty tight fit, there are some small tables over to the left and a bar that sits 3-4 on the right. Make sure to check out their flavor menu (on the chalk board wall directly to the left as you walk in). There are SO MANY YUMMY FLAVORS! I got one scoop of strawberry cheesecake on a cake cone, my son got one scoop "blue monster" in a bowl. My friend got chocolate chip mint & her kiddo ordered cookies and cream! Nothing beats hand dipped ice cream, and these flavor profiles were hands down the most delicious! The owner (lady behind the counter) was super nice & helpful. The shop filled up pretty quick but she handled it with composure and ease. It was a little warm inside so we opted to go around back where they have a shaded patio! You can never go wrong with a tasteful patio while you eat, we thought it was super nice. I really look forward to making this a summer staple, definitely give them a try! read more

Sommer Freeze is a new ice cream parlor within walking distance of Buckroe Beach on Buckroe Avenue. Nothing I love more than local businesses serving the community. On arrival, I spoke with the owner/server and for the sake of me, I can't remember her name after asking her several times. But she was very enthusiastic about her business. speaking to me of ideas, her story, and what got her going. The place has a cozy feel to it with indoor and outdoor seating. Sommer Freeze serves Blue Bell Ice Cream which is fine by me cause you know what you are getting. She has many flavors of ice cream served in many different ways. I had a root beer float served with salted caramel ice cream. She has cones, and shakes, in a cup or bowl, not sure if she serves frozen treats on a stick but I know when I was there she was open to all ideas Up and coming businesses that will do well. Give them a try. Happy Yelping. read more

Neat little place! Friendly and fun! Ice cream is so good. Feels like a small beach town business, highly recommend. read more

This place is a great addition to Buckroe. It's where Heavens Pizza used to be. A home style cooking place occupied the spot briefly, after Heavens moved into the corner spot that Chef Rainey's The Upper Room occupied before it sadly closed in 2020. Sommer Freeze opened last summer. I finally stopped by in March, and discovered that they serve Blue Bell ice cream. I requested just a scoop of coconut. She had some huge cookies on display. I got one - amazing! I went back in early April and ordered a coconut milkshake. It was delicious! I went back the next day and got my mom a salted caramel milkshake. She said hers was delicious too. There was a puzzle for customers to work on, and a got a few pieces placed while I waited. The owner is very friendly. This is a nice spot with a laid back, hometown vibe. 4/30/23 read more

2 scoops for both of us! I'd say it was way more than two scoops. Quite generous to say the least. I loved my pistachio almond and hubby loved the oatmeal Creme pie. I'm originally from Texas, so bluebell takes me home! It's a sweet little shop right by the beach and the ambiance is chill and friendly. Definitely coming back!!! read more

Sommer Freeze - Pistachio almond and oatmeal Creme pie. Baby had a blast sampling. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Cute ice cream shop near Buckroe Beach. Perfect for the warm weather! The shop has a few areas for indoor seating, a smaller kids table with puzzles on it, what looked like a bar area, and benches outside. I came close to closing, around 6:20PM and there was a crowd. There was only one woman working. She was extremely patient with each person and got the line down quickly. Because it was near closing she was out of milkshakes and sugar cones. I ordered 4 one scoop cups. 2 had additional toppings. Although she was rushed, she crafted each order carefully and generously for one scoop! Total came out to about $19. read more

The ice cream was great, kids loved it and the owner/cashier was super nice. The environment was cute on the inside and she stated there was a patio out back that we didn't see but I'm sure was very cute. read more

This place left me and my son stunned. The staff here are AMAZING, and the ice cream was really good. The scoops were also generously sized. This place also has wide variety of flavors to choose. All in all, this is a GREAT ice cream shop. read more

If you're looking for the best ice cream in Hampton, look no further! Sommer Freeze is the best ice cream in Hampton for under $5. My husband and I found this place after looking for ice cream without driving down Mercury to either Coldstone or Baskin Robbins. Needless to say, we were not disappointed. Sommer Freeze is located right next to the beach and easily accessible to everyone in the Buckroe Beach area. We love how close it is to us. Sommer Freeze offers ice cream for under $5, crazy right? At Cold Stone or Baskin Robbins, our ice cream would have been about $10-$15 each! I absolutely love the Blue Monster flavor, it is cookies and cream with cookie dough bites and blue dye. In addition to the ice cream being amazing, the owner is so friendly and generous with her servings. She gave me a smaller scoop than she felt was adequate and kept adding more until she felt I had gotten what I paid for. I absolutely love this place and have returned multiple times since my first visit! read more

My family found this place about several months ago as we were driving past on a Sunday stroll. It was closed but I made a mental not to come and we have been coming every week! I love the flavors, the fresh waffle cones, the ambiance and the customer service is always great. The owner always greets us with a smile and has the best conversations. I look forward to working on the puzzle just as much as the ice cream! I highly recommend this being your summer go to! read more

We love Sommer Freeze! Right by Buckroe Beach, so it's a great stop after the beach! Great ice cream flavors, and we were in love with the shaded patio area around back! The only thing I'd recommend (and it has nothing to do with the shop or what they serve, because they're excellent) I just wish that it was more obvious it was an ice cream shop from the street. I wouldn't want someone to miss out on something great! read more

Found! Ice cream and sno-cone at the beach!! What a wee gem of a place. As new residents we were delighted to discover this shop tucked back from the beach along Buckroe Ave. Several customers ahead of me so I got to check out generous ice cream portions, sno-cones, and COFFEE! This will definitely become our 'go to' place with family and friends. read more

Always nice!! Great selection and you can't ask for better service. And let's face it, is anything better than Blue Bell ice cream?

Great selection of flavors and friendly staff. Not too much parking so make sure to carpool!

I tried Sommer Freeze based off the recommendation of a parent whose child goes to school with our kids. I ordered a salted caramel scoop in a cup and a snow cone. I was kind of a glutton, because I didn't have to get 2 selections for myself in one visit. The I cream and the snow cone were delish. I'll be back later on with my kids. I'm sure they will like it. read more

This is such a cute little ice cream shop! They have a large amount of ice cream flavors and options to choose from. They make milkshakes, sundaes and homemade cookies. I absolutely loved their homemade chocolate chunk cookies, it was still warm and fresh out of the oven when I got it and it was so good. Overall, it's a nice little shop to go to right by the beach, with welcoming staff, nearby beach access, and great food! read more

Very sweet lady who runs this ice cream store. Lots of great choices. All Blue Bell ice cream brand. It is neat on the inside.

So happy we did! read more

Sommer Freeze is a small business within walking distance of Buckroe serving blue bell ice cream in many flavors and styles! The service was quick and friendly but the real show stopper was the relaxing environment tucked just behind the shop. Stocked with sidewalk chalk and an ice cream cone picture board for the kids, Sommer Freeze is just what this boardwalk needed! read more

Great service. Friendly people. Really good ice cream. We will be back. The all around atmosphere was great. Close to the beach too.

Excellent service, the best prices and great ice cream. There is always a puzzle that needs some help putting together

Amazing Ice cream! The owner is helpful and courteous, very pleasant to talk with. The store is small but cute, the perfect neighborhood ice cream parlor near the beach! Will definitely be coming here again :) read more

Lots of flavors of Ice Cream served as desired. All the flavor titles are written on the wall and the delicious look/color of the ice cream but not seeing the ice cream made decisions difficult for the kid. read more

This place is AMAZING! First off it's the cutest little convenient spot in walking distance from the beach. The ice cream is top notch. So many flavors to choose from and honestly so delicious, better than other boutique ice cream stores like Kilwins by far. And the prices just can't be beat for the solid portion size. With such helpful and courteous service (she even offered my dog a pup cup with a milkbone treat for FREE), I'm sold - this is my new favorite ice cream store. Thank you! read more

The mint chocolate chip was the best one I had ever had and the selection of flavors is huge the lady that served me was really nice and they had coffee too read more
