Our Story
The Ice Cream Cafe Story
For more than three decades, Ice Cream Cafe has been a sweet part of life on Cape Cod. What started as a simple passion for making great ice cream has grown into a family tradition rooted in quality, creativity, and community. Still proudly second-generation owned and operated, we continue to do things the same way we always have—by making everything with care, right on the premises, in small batches.
We believe great ice cream begins with great ingredients. That’s why we use fresh milk and cream, thoughtfully sourced mix-ins, and time-tested recipes that let real flavors shine. Alongside our classic favorites, we’re always experimenting with seasonal and limited-edition flavors inspired by the people, places, and moments that make each time of year special.
Over the years, listening to our customers has shaped who we are. From vegan and non-dairy options to no-sugar-added flavors and allergen-conscious choices, our menu has evolved to make sure everyone can find something they love. Whether you’re stopping in after the beach, celebrating a milestone, or making a new summer memory, Ice Cream Cafe is here to bring people together—one scoop at a time.
A Flavor for Every Season
At Ice Cream Cafe, the seasons don’t just change the weather—they inspire our menu. While we always keep a core lineup of beloved classics, we love rotating in flavors that reflect the time of year, local traditions, and what our customers are craving right now. From bright, refreshing fruit flavors in the summer to richer, cozy creations as the seasons shift, there’s always something new to discover.
Seasonal ingredients, limited-edition batches, and creative combinations allow us to keep things fresh and exciting while staying true to our roots. Some flavors are only around for a short time, making them all the more special when they appear. Whether it’s your first visit of the season or a tradition you return to year after year, there’s always a flavor waiting to match the moment.
Something for Everyone
Ice Cream Cafe is built on the idea that everyone should be able to enjoy a great frozen treat. That’s why our menu is thoughtfully crafted to include options for all tastes, ages, and dietary needs. From rich, classic ice creams to refreshing sorbets, creamy frozen yogurt, and carefully developed vegan and non-dairy flavors, there’s truly something for everyone in the family.
We clearly label allergen-sensitive choices and offer no-sugar-added, low-fat, and non-fat options, so guests can indulge with confidence. Whether you’re stopping in for a nostalgic favorite, trying something new, or looking for an option that fits your lifestyle, our goal is simple: make sure no one is left out of the joy of ice cream.
We’re proud to be part of the Orleans and Cape Cod community — and we’d love to be part of your story, too. Whether you’re a local, a seasonal visitor, or just passing through on your way to the beach, make Ice Cream Cafe a stop on your journey. Grab a cone, enjoy a coffee, and savor the simple joy of something made with care.
