Buffy’s is the ultimate old school ice cream experience! Even off season. The staff is amazing…so friendly! And my Chatham Ice cream birthday bar was decadent. Worth every penny.

Outstanding! Fresh cookies, ice cream. Great service. Reese PB one was the hands down favorite. Cookie dough was good as well.

We visited Buffys today while wandering Chatham. The owner was very engaging, and explained his house-made ice cream and ice cream bars. We each had waffle cones with two different flavors, and it was wonderful! Creamy, great flavor, and served at the perfect temperature. Loved...it!More

This was the best ice cream ever. The ice cream sandwiches were amazing. Went back 4 times during my vacation. Can’t wait to go back.

The staff were very friendly and patient and the ice cream was delicious. Lots of flavors to choose from and they have their own specialty home-made ice cream bars.

A venerable Chatham institution thankfully has been rejuvenated under new ownership and with the incorporation of artisanal Chatham Ice Cream Bars. All flavors and bars made on site. Freshly-squeezed lemonade and lime rickeys. Best afternoon sun-dappled dessert bar on the Cape! Worth a visit and...many sweet returns.More

We stopped for a late dessert one evening. The service was fast and ice cream was fresh and tasted great! I especially liked that the flavor I got (mocha choco chip) was not too sweet.

Female manager is truly awful. Called to order hand packed pints and she snapped that she needed 24 hours notice as her line was so long. We were driving by and there were only two people in the store. Same rude manager last year, so...we decided to call Cape Cod Creamery rather than go inside and deal with her attitude. Cape Cod Creamery staff was absolutely amazing and had a great product. Even delivered curbside.More

they have a bunch of unique flavors on the menu, but i just didn't think they ended up actually tasting that great. I tried Pistachio and Maple Walnut and they were more bland and less creamy than i would have liked.
