The Front

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.

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

Pistachio almond and oatmeal Creme pie. Baby had a blast sampling.

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!!!

I completed some of the mouse and berries :)

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

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.

Cookies and cream

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!

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!

Outside seating area around back

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!

Snow cone
Franklin F.

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.

I popped in on a whim and just ordered what looked interesting. I don't recall what it was, and the…read moreflavor was not a standout to me. When I visited the other location and asked what was baked *today,* I made a wiser choice. I'll venture to guess that this location's fresher baked goods are similarly amazing. This is a very pretty little spot. Nice ambiance.

My sister, niece and I went to the Scratch Bakery on 19 East Mellen St. We bought a brownie with…read morewalnuts, German chocolate cake, sourdough pound cake, lemon pound cake, and two cupcakes-one was a wedding cake cupcake, and the other one was triple strawberry cupcake, and lastly, we got a slice of the pineapple upside down cake. My brother-in-law got the pineapple upside down cake. It's one of his favorite cakes and he's had it from the Scratch Bakery in the past. He said that it just wasn't the same. My sister had the brownie topped with walnuts and icing, she said it had no taste. It lacked the chocolate smell, and she was right when I tasted it it was kind of bland. The best description would be it tasted brown. My niece bought the cupcakes. Other than being dry, the triple strawberry cupcake was OK, but the wedding cake cupcake was "tainted" with an overwhelming almond flavor, so much so you could smell it. Lastly, I had the sourdough pound cake, which also had the overwhelmingly almond flavor. It was dry, and the butter flavor was completely missing. I live in New Jersey, where there are wonderful diners that serve delicious desserts, and my favorite go to dessert is German chocolate cake. I was sorely disappointed when I found it was only one layer topped with the German chocolate cake coconut icing. The icing was OK but the cake was gummy and it lacked the extra coconut in the batter and there were no nuts or nut flavoring in the in the cake part. I found the prices to be a bit high, we spent probably close to $65 on these desserts. The ambience was cute and inviting, and the service was great. I think they need to rework some of their recipes, or maybe use better ingredients.

Operating out of the U.S. Army's oldest firehouse (est. 1881) at historic Fort Monroe in Hampton,…read moreVA, this spot has gone from fighting flames to fueling them, one perfectly brewed cup at a time. Friendly service, inviting atmosphere, reasonable prices, and lots of memorabilia to enjoy. Definitely a nice stop for a warm beverage on a rainy day.

Hands down one of the coolest coffee houses in Hampton Roads!…read more I would likely have never known this place existed without my coffee passport. It's tucked away on Fort Monroe - a little off the beaten path for me, but well with the visit. Google maps had me coming from the back side of the building but once you find your way around, there is ample parking and some outdoor seating for nice days. Like any converted firehouse the only windows are from the large roll-up doors. The inside is cozy with plenty of comfy seating. They offer free Wi-Fi and activities for little ones including lots of fire trucks to play with so this would be a nice spot for families. Already planning to bring my family in for a stop on the way to Williamsburg. Plenty of coffee and non-coffee options plus seasonal specials and tons of flavor choices, including sugar free. I opted for a sugar-free dark chocolate latte which was delicious - perfect level of sweetness and just the right temperature. I also ordered an egg and cheese sandwich on naan bread. They have multiple cheese and other bread options. The egg was a little over seasoned but flavor was good. Compared to the major chains and other independent coffee shops, prices here are reasonable. Overall a great visit with welcoming and helpful staff. Looking forward to a trip back!

I Scream U Scream - Detroit chili cheese dog was not freshly made.  I wasn't aware that my purchase did not come with condiments.  This is good.

This new ice cream shop in the Bethel area of Hampton is located in the old Dairy Queen Building…read more It has a similar menu, with a focus on deserts such as sundaes, cones, milkshakes, etc., but also on hotdogs, naming them after local high schools, locations in the city, and the originals, Chicago, New York, and Detroit-themed hotdogs. Now, this place has all outdoor seating, which makes it a really nice place to visit after dinner to have some ice cream. It is also good for lunch. It works by placing your order at one window and picking it up at the next. They buzz you to let you know when your order is ready. The service is pretty quick, especially with scoop ice cream orders. Hotdogs and other items take a little longer, but Because they are pre-made, it just takes a little bit to serve them up. The food is okay, but the ice cream is fantastic. The price is excellent, the service is good, and the overall experience is good. I recommend going by in the evening, sitting outside, and enjoying some ice cream. The view is not good, for the place is located on Big Bethel Road, but don't let that ruin your time. I'll be back. Happy Yelpng.

I was hyped to visit this new establishment. However, was I in for a huge disappointment…read more My Detroit Hotdog, consisting of chili & cheese, was not good. The hotdog was precooked and a bit cold. I asked for condiments from the young lady. However, a dark-skinned bald man talked over her and said, "It doesn't come with condiments." I was appalled. Nonetheless, I maintained my composure, waited for my food, and proceeded to my car. I paid over $11, however, the food was just so-so. Ambiance/ esthetics: 4/5 Customer service: 4/5 Food quality: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 I'll try to give them another try. This establishment needs to make a lot of adjustments. I love the philosophy of the business. However, the quality of food is not there.
