The Cape Cod Ice Cream Challenge

Lewis Brothers Homemade Ice Cream

Located in Provincetown, Lewis Brothers Homemade Ice Cream is located in a lovely little part of town right by the water.  That is about all that is nice about Lewis Brothers.

Tess and I entered the store and saw a nice looking place, Shiny counters and signs.  We were greeted by servers who were unenthusiastic, even terse.  Tess got the mudslide and I got Oreo (WHICH CONTAINS OREO COOKIES NOT HYDROX COOKIES).

An ice cream place, especially one that makes the cream homemade should have a tasty scoop, and that is not what we found.  The ice cream was “freezery” and a bit frost burned.  The Oreo cookies tasted bad, and the ice cream was really frozen hard making it very hard to spoon into your mouth. 

Tess said that her first bite was good, but that after that an annoying aftertaste ruined all consecutive bites.  She did note that the alcohol in the ice cream made it a bit more smooth and she had fewer problems getting it into her mouth.  She also noted that her ice cream was almost devoid of chocolate chips, and that they were made of that cheap waxy chocolate.  More chips, of higher quality would have made it better.

And the size!  These cups were microscopic.  The small literally holds about one scoop, this would be fine if the ice cream was so rich that eating more would make you sick, but this cream was not that rich.  For the price (a whopping $3.00!) you should get a lot more ice cream than that.

I am sad to say that Lewis Brothers Homemade Ice Cream was disappointing to Tess and me. I preferred the ice cream I had at Twist’d Sister much more.

Edit:  Since posting our review of Lewis Brothers Homemade Ice cream, Tess and I have been contacted not once but three times by someone claiming to be David Lewis (we have no way to know for sure) the owner of Lewis Brothers.  The first email he sent us was full of profanity and claimed that Tess and I both had our heads in a place they should not be. 

After posting his email as a comment on the review, we were contacted again asking us to take it down and we received an apology.  We gladly removed his rather rude comment from our site, as we are not trying to be jerks.  He then contacted us claming that unless we change our review to reflect the fact that his Oreo ice cream contained Oreos and not Hydrox cookies (so posted because someone at the store had told us they were hydrox) that he would sue us for Libel and legal fees (the post has been changed as neither Tess nor myself want to get into any legal action over a silly ice cream website). 

Our opinions are just that, opinions.  If you disagree with any of our reviews feel free to leave your own in the comment section, or use the handy dandy reader rating system to let your voice be heard. 

If you are an owner of a shop and feel we have posted an error, feel free to use the contact us page to let us know.  Please do not write us nasty emails full of swear words and legal threats, a simple polite request to change an error will suffice.  Thank you for reading our website and enjoy your ice cream.
