Family-owned and serving fresh,…read morehomemade ice cream since 1937, they offer a fabulous selection of cones, sundaes, ice cream drinks, frozen yogurt, and a few sugar-free options across multiple locations. This review is for the Cataumet location, which almost always draws a crowd in the early evening. There's plenty of outdoor seating, and the selection of homemade waffle cones is fantastic--the waffle cones alone are worth the visit! As of 2026, it does feel like the portions have gotten a little smaller while prices have gone up, but unfortunately, that seems to be the trend everywhere these days. Still, Somerset easily earns five stars and is worth the price. We visit multiple times every summer and always enjoy it. Highly recommended for all ages. Somerset Creamery is a must-stop and should absolutely be part of the Cape Cod experience.
