Highland Creamery
Sometimes you walk into a place and all you can think is “wow!” It seems that Highland Creamery was crafted to produce just such a reaction. The place is wild, as you approach you see a giant smiling dolphin wearing pearls, crazy umbrella things, and a bubble cannon shooting bubbles into the air above the door.
We once again had a couple backup testers with us, one secret tester who we will talk more about later, and Tess’s friend Lindsay. Before we ordered we stood around agog at the plethora of stuff located inside the store. The store is a site to behold, its as if you rolled up a candy store, an ice cream shop, a toys store, and a surf shop and shook the resulting wad violently until it exploded. They even have a built in fish tank on one of the benches, with real fish!
Highland has a very good selection of flavors, with interesting names like white trash. The server was great and answered all of our questions. Tess and Lindsay ended up getting white trash (white chocolate ice cream, with peaches and a bit of southern comfort now you see the name is perfect), I got deep chocolate, and our secret tester got mint chocolate chip. The strange thing is that Highland actually colors the mint chocolate chip a vibrant blue/green. It made it look strange but it still tasted good.
All of the ice cream was good, the ladies liked the white trash and said it was creamy and delicious. I found the deep chocolate really good, but it could have been a little more rich with a name like that. It was however creamy and tasty.
Highland has many topping options, they stand out as the one place we have been that has a really vast topping selection. You can even get gummy octopus, and gummy sea shell topping (if that’s your thing). They do use Styrofoam cups, which is bad, but the serving size was average. They also offer shaved ice, and soft serve.
If you are traveling along 6 going to Provincetown or perhaps coming down to Orleans or Eastham you need to stop at Highland Creamery. Its an experience. Check out the disco ball, the my little ponies, the gum ball machines, take a picture with the giant dolphin, and enjoy a really nice scoop.
