Customer Reviews
Great ice cream. It's hard ice cream but on the softer side. I had the vanilla bean speck which has a strong vanilla bean flavor and good creaminess. On ice cream alone I'd give it 5 stars since it's one of the best vanilla beans I've had. However, there are no samples (hard to know what to get without trying), you can't split scoops (must get the biggest 2 scoop size to try to kinds), there is no bathroom, and it's cash only. So lots of inconveniences but great ice cream. Worth a stop if you know what you want or are willing to take a chance given it will likely be good. Prices are also slightly higher than other homemade ice cream places on the Cape I've been to ($5.35 for a kiddie cone)
Excellent ice cream chock full of delicious ingredients! My vanilla had real vanilla beans and Mom’s almond joy had coconut ice cream, almonds and chunks of dark chocolate. Look for the cone on Main St and follow the signs and sidewalk back to the shop. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating!
New look so I asked if ownership changed. Answer was no but new management. Made sense since most of the look changed. Out of several flavors. Answer given was EB will not deliver and store needs to pick up from CT or Boston depending on flavor. Not the Answer you wish to hear when it is high season. Ice cream and hot fudge were excellent but I have never been at EB and it was relatively empty at 8pm. Staff didn't know how to ring up certain items There are other options as we usually go to 2 or 3 places. We decided to drop EB from our list
I am very fussy about ice cream. My friends and I decided to go to Emack & Bolio’s because they have some unique, fun flavours. I got Beantown Buzz and Blueberry Crumble, and both flavours were amazing. It was a little expensive (Over $6 for 2 scoops) but it was worth it, because the size was decent and the quality was great. Also, this is the cleanest ice cream place I’ve ever been to. And, the girls who were working there were very nice :)
I’m not sure how this place stays in business considering they charge much more than every other ice cream shop on the cape for significantly less ice cream. Additionally this place is cash only, with employees touching money and then scooping ice cream, touching cones, etc for each and every customer. Not sure what the local health department rules are but this does not seem up to code.
