“I always have such a great experience at Captain Bonnie’s Ice Cream Shop! This place is a perfect mix of delicious food, great prices, and a welcoming atmosphere. The food is fantastic, and their sundaes and milkshakes are definitely a highlight—so tasty and made just right every time. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re stopping in for a quick treat or a full snack. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Lauryn and Sarah. They both go out of their way to make customers feel welcome and taken care of, which really adds to the overall experience. One of the best parts is how affordable everything is—you get great quality without breaking the bank. Plus, the play area for kids is amazing! It makes this spot perfect for families, giving kids a fun place to enjoy while parents can relax. Captain Bonnie’s is such a gem. Great food, great people, and a great environment—I highly recommend checking it out!“

“Pretty awesome little stop. Got two fish and chips. The gentleman working there was pleasant and funny, like that quirky uncle you only see once a year at Thanksgiving.
Fish was cooked perfect, xtra thick filet, i didnt ask but i think it was cod, generous portion of fries.
Will be back to try out more of the menu and shakes.

Parking: Huge parking area next to outdoor seating“

“Spumoni ice cream The best I've ever tasted. The pistachio held real large pistachios, the cherry ice cream was something I've never tasted and the chocolate out of this world. All topped with a reduction of a sweet dessert red wine. Delicious enough to be served as a gourmet dessert. Amaze your guests or treat your family. Out of this world!“

“I would recommend Tom & Jimmy’s on 44 Winthrop Street 100%!! My daughter has a tree nut allergy and every time I mention it they go out of their way to wash the utensils, hands, and put on gloves! I really appreciate how far they go for my little one! We have been turned down at other local ice cream places! But here never once and we go quite often!! I appreciate all the girls that work there and appreciate how safe they are! ❤️“

And it is delicious and overall , it's not that many calories. Employees are always nice.They always have a smile on their face.And right now , there's not many long lines , but on the hot days , there's line , but that's just to be expected.“
