Sundae School Ice Cream

I really enjoyed my frozen yogurt here… they ran out of peanut butter which I was really looking forward to but hubby got me a scoop of the caramel and a scoop of the Oreo mint… both glorious. The caramel had ribbons of thick caramel throughout and the Oreo mint had the just the right balance of mint flavor, cookie pieces and chocolate chips. I got gummy bears on top. Yogurt was fresh and high quality. I would totally come back so they can school me again!

This is epic!,!,

Well worth standing on line for!
The ice cream they recommended is the best! Plenty of parking and everything about this place is awesome!
Highly recommended

My favorite cape cod stop! Love the homemade whip cream!!! And can’t forget the real cherry!!!

Friendly teenagers man the counter, and they gladly put up with an inquisitive, sample-​hungry ice cream snob like myself. I like to fancy myself an ice cream connoisseur, and this walk-​up counter shop did not disappoint. The ice cream is boasted as homemade and it tastes that way. The «sugar-​free» is made with Splenda, but unless you’re diabetic, please do not dishonor ice cream in this way.
I sampled the ginger, which is a vanilla base lightly tasting of ginger with added ginger bits. The vanilla sample is just run of the mill vanilla (not bean). The Nauset mud is a coffee base, with, fudge swirls, chocolate chips and almond bits. Rich and satisfying. There were plenty of more creative daily specials that sounded great, but I rarely go past 2 samples (unless I have a disguise in the car).

As far as I can tell this is pretty much the best ice cream on the Cape.
Just be ready to wait in line.
Also if it’s dark out expect to be eaten alive by mosquitos.
But it’s worth it.
They have most of your standard flavors along with some of their own creations. They use fresh whipped cream and real cherries, not those lousy candied ones.
They do not have soft serve, only «real» ice cream.
Sizes are prices are about typical for the area and fair for what you get.
Only problem is that it’s only open Memorial Day to Labor Day, so you visit outside the core summer season you’re out of luck. I believe the main branch of SS in Harwich or somewhere is open for a somewhat longer season, but not this one in Orleans.
Despite the parking lot being pretty big it can be tough to find a spot because there’s also a pizza place in the shopping center.
If you’re in the neighborhood this is the best place to go for ice cream.

Whyyyyy did it take me 2 years to find this place??? Thank you Unilocal!!!Excellent is all i can really say. Its not as pricey as some say. Id say average cost for above average ice cream. The line def was long but worth it. My biggest piece of advice is bring bug spray for the time you are on line. So worth the trip.

Sundae School is the ultimate ice cream parlor. It’s just so damn good. It’s fresh and creamy and the menu is never ending. I even tried their frozen yogurt, which tastes just as good as their signature ice cream. The Orleans location is very popular, so beware of lines. The location in Dennis is just as good, and just as popular. Me and the family love it here.

This ice cream was fantastic! Stopped in on a Friday night at the end of May. Lots of people around but no wait, yay! We had chocolate, amaretto nut, and black raspberry and all were creamy and delicious. The staff was also so friendly and sweet!

Great atmosphere, great ice cream, and the service is wonderful. I go here every time I visit Cape Cod.

Always a nice place to enjoy good ice cream! I go as often as I can when I’m in cape cod

During a drive on highway 6A through cape cod, we stumbled on a small ice cream store tucked away in a group of quaint shops.
We popped in there and grabbed a few cups of ice cream which were absolutely delicious. Their butter pecan ice cream was about as good as I’ve ever had.
The store itself is very small and has just enough room to grab some ice cream and be on your way. It has the feel of a very local place with old time charm. Nice little spot to make a stop if you’re in the area or doing the historic drive through Cape Cod.

Maybe my favorite ice cream place of all time. You just can’t go wrong here.
Often there is a long line but it always goes pretty fast, so don’t be intimidated.
Cookie dough ice cream is so chock full of cookie dough, you can’t believe it.
Cash only!
Doesn’t have rainbow sprinkles, only chocolate :(
Perfect ice cream, every time. So delicious. Wish I lived closer.

Oh my gosh! I am not a huge fan of icecream (seriously! I mean it!) but Sundae School’s coffee Oreo hot fudge sundae was like heaven on earth on a warm evening in Orleans. I can’t wait to go back :)

Some people just know how to scoop ice cream into a cone. I’m talking about the people at Sundae School. Those scoops are legit. Make for very photogenic ice cream cones.
The ice cream itself is delicious — creamy with a little chew if you know what I mean, like good ol’ fashioned ice cream should be. I had my heart set on coffee Heath bar crunch and it did not disappoint! Khalua was good too, but perhaps a little too boozy for my liking. Would love to try the classic cookie dough or Oreo or sweet cream and nuts… or just get the sundae or sampler option with multiple (I think 4 – 5) flavors! Definitely coming back.

Try the grasshopper ice cream (mint Oreo) or the orange sherbet. Quick and friendly staff. Our favorite ice cream place

The gold standard of ice cream shops on the Cape.
Folks are often intimidated by the long lines, but worry not; the legion of energetic kids behind the counter keep the place churning quickly. I’ve been going here for ages and I’ve never seen an employee there that was anything less than efficient, good-​natured, and courteous. You’ll witness some self-​centered troll customers asking to sample 9 flavors with 40 people behind them (guys, you’re buying an ice cream cone, not an SUV), and the employees take it all in stride.
I’ve eaten half the flavors on the menu and never found a dud; favorites include the Milky Way blend, pistachio, Nauset Mud, and butter pecan. The menu is wisely geared towards families with a lot of kid-​friendly flavors, but that’s fine; when you eat there, you kinda feel like a kid again for a bit.
As good as the ice cream is, though, the toppings are better still. The hot fudge is criminally good, and the homemade whipped cream will make your toes curl. If you’re a first-​time visitor, the hot fudge sundae is definitely the way to go.
The only possible gripe someone might have is the pricing (it’s about six bucks for a modest sundae in a cup), but I suspect that’s the American attitude of judging food by quantity before quality. If you want a bunch of ice cream for that price, wait for a Hood sale at Star Market. If you want killer ice cream you’ll actually remember, this is the place. It’ll be interesting to see if they make any changes now that other gourmet ice cream shops are springing up in the area to squeeze some of their dollars.
Note: they only take cash, or at least that was the case during my last visit, so fair warning.

I really, really wish that I lived closer to Sundae School. Don’t let the long lines scare you off, it moves quickly and the staff is extremely friendly. I sampled many several types of ice cream here over the week I was in Orleans: coconut, maple walnut, a hot fudge sundae. and my absolute favorite, ginger.
I found the coconut ice cream to not have enough coconut flavor. It tasted a lot like vanilla with very mild coconut undertones.
Maple walnut was very good. It was very creamy and I could really taste the maple flavor and it had a good amount of walnuts throughout.
Surprisingly, I didn’t really enjoy the hot fudge sundae. I got it with vanilla ice cream and marshmallow topping. I thought that the ice cream was too icy and the hot fudge didn’t wow me. It tasted like what I can get out of a bottle. The option for marshmallow topping was appreciated, though. The sundae came with a real cherry on top, but I wish it had been pitted. This was disappointing because they had signs up about how «famous» their sundaes are.
The ginger ice cream was absolutely amazing. It seriously might be the best ice cream I have ever had. Incredibly creamy and rich with candied ginger throughout. We stopped and picked up two pints to take home with us and I can’t wait until next vacation to get more.
If you come here and they have the ginger ice cream, get it. But maybe skip the sundae.

We tried several of the Orleans’ ice cream options, and this was absolutely my favorite. I had the original sundae withe coffee oreo ice cream and homemade whip cream, and it did not disappoint. The ice cream itself was perfectly creamy, and the toppings were generous. A must visit!

Great ice cream — that’s for sure. Line moves fast — and be ready to order — the scoopers have no time to waste on your (ok, my) indecisiveness.
Small is indeed small — probably a ‘normal’ portion unlike what we’re all used to these days in obesemerica. Prices are a little lofty but hey, its great ice cream, so buck up. If you don’t want to pay, pickup some Breyers somewhere else (no, don’t).
Parking can get tight with Zia’s there — but you can park across the street at night when Last Stop is closed.
