Katie’s Homemade Ice Cream
Katie’s was a great find! You can find it in a pink house on Main Street, Hyannis with a large deck filled with picnic tables with sun umbrellas. The staff was amazingly friendly, I would even say one of the friendliest places we have ever been. They had a wide selection of flavors, all made on premises, with lots of beachy, cape specific flavors.
I really liked this place. You walk into a bright, clean shop with lots of options listed and in the glass case for you to drool at. The flavor of the week this week was “Sandy Neck” which I thought was great. Everyone working there was great, with huge smiles and lots of advice on what to get.
I chose Cape Cod Sand which is a secret flavor and the only one they won’t tell you the ingredients for. It is several of the staff’s favorites and I must say it was delicious. I have my suspicions as to what is in it, but I will keep it a secret too! I guess 2 people were able to figure it out last year. Give it a try and see if you can unmask the mystery. I will say that it was flavored ice cream with chocolaty chunks.
Shane chose Brownie Batter which is chocolate ice cream with brownie chunks and chocolate mint chips. Both were amazingly creamy and rich. The stuff in the ice cream was plentiful and delicious. They definitely use quality ingredients and are not stingy at all. Although the size was average compared to other shops, it was the perfect amount. If they gave you any more, I don’t think I would have been able to finish it because it is so rich.
I had a great time sitting on the deck in the shade (it was a hot day and the shade was such a relief!) watching people walk up and down Main St. The ice cream was delicious, some of the best I’ve had in awhile. The flavors and names were creative and clever and the mystery ingredients of Sand add a great element of fun that leave me wanting to come back for more. The staff is great and obviously take a lot of pride in their business.
