Buffy’s Ice Cream Shop

This little ice-​cream shop was highly recommended by my fellow Unilocalers, and since we were in the mood for a sweet treat, it was the place to go. It’s a little homemade ice cream shop in the heart of Chatham on Main Street, basically a hole-​in-​the-​wall. The free smells are yummy, but sadly the I felt it was a bit over priced for ice-​cream… $ 6.50 for 2 scoops, but it’s I guess it’s the Main Street prices. All in all, I’m glad we stopped, but it was nothing to write home about.

Sublime. Old Cape delicious. Red Rasberry Fudge was a dream and Mocha Chip a beautiful contrast. Nice job on the old fashioned New England ice cream soda.
Went back with 8 people over three different nights.

We ordered vanilla-​chocolate twist soft serve with chocolate covered pretzels. Yum Yum! And apparently it’s 100% fat free! Will have to come back for the ice cream…

Buffy’s is the only homemade ice cream in Chatham (so I’m told) and it is delicious. It’s a small little hut and If you want a nice treat you’ll get it here. It’s a little over priced, but what isn’t on the cape? The variety of flavors is top notch. They have no sugar added options too. It’s nice to see some hand squeezed lemonade! There are picnic tables on the outside to sit and enjoy. You can also get toppings for an additional price, unless you get sprinkles (jimmies) those are free!

The ice cream is soooooooo good. All of the ice cream is home made. There’s a long line on a summer night, but the girls behind the counter did a nice job handling the volume.
I only detract a star due to the price. A bit pricey for ice cream, but it is the Cape, and it is Chatham.
Free jimmies are a great addition!

My family and I have been going to Buffy’s for years. We’ve always loved it. We hope it never changes. Just be careful on really hot days, because the second you step outside of the shop, the ice cream is going to start melting like you wouldn’t believe. My advice is to get a cup. They have a variety of flavors, and they also have ice cream sandwitches, frappes and other cool treats to sink your teeth into. I hope this place NEVER closes.

This was a really cute place! They had a nice little outdoor area with about 4 picnic tables and a drinking water fountain (very useful)!
Although priced on the high-​side, the servings were a decent size and the ice-​cream (mint chocolate chip and pistachio) was delicious.
And cheer up Miss Kranky Pants! Take some of that tip money and buy yourself a personality!

Buffy’s was recommended to us by a staff member, Jennie, at the Impudent Oyster, and I must say it was definitely a good recommendation. I had a scoop of the Chocolate Chocolate Chunk, and am still thinking of it 2 days later. Delicious. It is somewhat pricey at $ 5.50 for a scoop, but they are also $ 6.50 for 2 scoops, which is decent for what it is. Stop by if you’re in the hood.

Definitely a bit overpriced ($ 5.50 for a single scoop!!), but I’ve tried a lot of ice cream on the cape and this is some of the best. Their fruit flavor are delicious and taste fresh, though I must admit I haven’t tried much else there.

Delicious ice cream with yummy waffle cones. A bit pricey for ice cream but the price fits the cuteness of the shop and area. Wide selection and varity of ice cream choices.

Always the best. If you are anywhere need Chatham and want ice cream you better come here you can never go wrong. Awesome ice cream, awesome staff and awesome setting. This is a can not miss.

More expensive than most ice cream spots on the Cape. Found that they have more delicious coffee ice cream than these other places. Nice spot to sit outside at picnic tables. Cones are wrapped in paper and service was good.

I can only talk about the raspberry lime rickeys, at least for now. I grew up in MA and definitely took my ability to find a great, is even decent raspberry lime rickey for granted. Visiting the cape for the weekend, I knew I had to enjoy one while I could.
Buffy’s gave me one of the best raspberry lime rickey’s I have ever had. The secret is, that instead of just cutting up a lime and throwing it in the cup, they actually have a juicer that put all that amazing fresh squeezed lime juice right into the cup. Now, I do like my rickey’s a little on the sour side, so this was perfect for me — just a head’s up for those sweet toothes out there.
Yes, they are a little pricey. But for satisfying my intense craving, they get 5 stars in my book.
