I loved the salted caramel chocolate pretzel flavor! It was delicious.

On our annual "vacation ice cream tour" in the Cape, we always try at least 1 or 2 places we haven't been to before, and A Nice Cream Stop was on this year's list.The good: staff is very friendly! Cozy outside sitting area and the town is a nice place to walk and enjoy the ice cream.The bad: Extremely disappointed in the ice cream itself. I bought Cookie Dough and immediately noticed that it was bland. Very, very bland. The dough and chocolate chips were fine, but the ice cream tasted milky, not creamy and definitely not rich. At $7 for a *small* cone (!) - which was far higher than any other place we'd visited - it was a disappointment overall.To see if I was crazy, I immediately went down to Mac's on the Pier and tried a sample of the same flavor. The difference was immediate - THAT was excellent ice cream. The burst of flavor from even the small sample said it all. And - Mac's was $2 less, which is much more in line with competitors. (But really, there was no competition.)In reading other reviews, it appears that comments about bland vanilla-based ice creams are not uncommon, as are comments about how freakin' expensive the stuff is.Gave an extra star because the staff was nice, but this is really all about the ice cream, right?No question that we will not return.

Niche ice cream spot with rotating flavors, get a pint instead of the single/double scoops (more bang for your buck)

Fabulous ice cream. I had the strawberry and grasshopper pie. Wonderful!

We got here at 9pm and the website said the ice cream shop would be open to 930. We we got here we were informed that they were closing in a few minutes and were only serving cups and cones. We were rushed to place an order. I asked for hot fudge and I was told they turned they turned that off already. My fiancé ordered the wrong ice cream because we were rushed and we asked to change it once it was given to us and we were very rudely told no. Horrible experience. The staff were more concerned about leaving work.

After “extensive” testing, I can report these are the best milkshakes (in MA, known as frappes) in Christendom. Made with chocolate ice cream AND chocolate syrup, these technicians also carefully turn every shake while it’s in the machine, to ensure the ice cream gets fully integrated into the shake.The sundaes are also excellent, with generous applications of delicious homemade whipped cream.Please never change.
The ‘heaven’ flavor had no taste!! With a name like that you’d think it would be outta this world. The blueberry crumble was ok. Also, for two ice creams it was $19! I don’t think we’ll be going again.

Great with food allergies and great ice cream. Staff is friendly and helpful.

We were in Wellfleet looking to getting a shell fishing license and decided we needed a nice treat so stopped here for some ice cream. And we are glad that we did. Although it is a small location with limited outdoor seating it is conveniently located in the heart of Wellfleet on the main street through town. There is a large public parking lot right next door. I ordered the white chocolate with raspberry and my wife ordered the eccentric chocolate. We both ordered cups with two scoops. FYI two scoops is only a small amount of money over the cost of single scoop...so why not get two? We were able to get a couple of seats in the shade close by and enjoyed our cold tasty treats. Often referred to as Emack and Bolio's it is worth coming here for dessert after a meal nearby or just stopping in for a treat like we did. No samples given by the way. Just order and enjoy. Window staff was friendly and professional and very quick in filling the orders.

Great place for ice cream lots of flavors. I've been to all the ice cream places in Wellfleet multiple times. If I had to rank the top three I would put Emacks at #2 Pj's at #3 and Gelato Joy at #1 because they are the only one to make theirs in house and daily from what i understand.I would not hesitate to go to any of the 3.
