Laughing Gull Café on Summer St

New to the area & stumbled upon this adorable cafe. The baristas & owner were all very kind and welcoming. I got a decaf iced vanilla latte & it was absolutely amazing. Sometimes getting a decaf latte can taste pretty bland or too milky but their espresso was so yummy! I also got the egg & cheese sandwich on an everything bagel & a bran muffin- so delicious. Will be back very soon :) ~Kortney

Captain Dusty's Ice Cream

Where to begin... the ice cream is home made, and it shows in the taste and mouth feel. Creamy, delicious and in a variety of familiar and new favors. Inasmuch as I loved the variety and quality of the ice cream, I loved the portions more. Seriously, a kiddie sized portion would be enough for a hungry adult. I think for the price, the portions are beyond generous. But my favorite aspect of Captain Dusty's is the service. The 3 people behind the counter were friendly, courteous and accommodating in a way that totally made our experience. A young man brought us wet wipes, without being asked, so we could clean up a bit. One of the employees also struck up a conversation with my wife and daughter, and it made it feel like the kind of place you would return to again and again - where you are remembered as a customer, and appreciated. Manchester-by-the-Sea has become our favorite New England seaside town, and Captain Dusty's is a major contributor to that sentiment. 100/10. It's that good. ~khamel
