What is Big Dipper Ice Cream & Cafe like?
Right on Lake Avenue, steps from the Oak Bluffs harbor and the iconic Flying Horses Carousel, you'll find Big Dipper Ice Cream & Cafe serving up scoops and smiles from early morning through late evening. This casual, beloved spot doubles as a cafe and ice cream shop — perfect for a post-beach treat, a lazy afternoon break, or even a sunrise coffee before the island wakes up. The rotating flavors lean into New England classics with enough variety to keep everyone in the group happy, and the waterfront setting makes even the simplest cone feel like a small summer luxury. Families, cyclists, and day-trippers all find their way here — it's the kind of stop that turns into a tradition the moment you discover it.
