Twin Acres Ice Cream Shoppe
Yet another “shoppe.” Cape Cod is full of fake “old timey” places that have all been built in the last 10-30 years but try to act like they have been around forever. While the Twin Acres is really just your average ice cream stand, its name fits in well with the Cape Cod theme.
The place itself is of the “walk up” variety. You walk up and some young girl takes your order and then you walk away. Why is it that high school girls always seem to staff ice cream places?
The stand has limited seating, but its rather nice with trees and a nice picnic table to sit at. I can see this place being very popular in the summer time. The ice cream was served fast and it the service was good. The ice cream was not made on site, but they had scoop and soft serve which is nice. I got ginger ice cream in a cone, and Tess got moose tracks in a cup with cone “hat.” The ginger ice cream was really good with large chunks of candy ginger in it, and the cream was whipped giving the whole confection a light and airy taste.
The moose tracks was very rich and deliciously chocolaty. Mmm good. With more than 36 flavors (including sugar free and reduced fat versions) it could take a while to make your way through all the creams.
We showed up on a very nasty rainy day, it was cold and windy, and the place was very busy. But the service was so fast that the line never got too long. Overall it was a good place, pretty average, but good. Tip: get a cup with cone hat, you get more cream and a tasty cone.
