Sometimes you get in the routine of big box stores but then you miss the local gems like this! I often come here with my toddler and he’s always greeted with smiling faces. They have a great selection of produce, meats, and basics. The flowers and plants outside are well kept and at times irresistible! A perfect stop to fill up the cooler for the boat with adult beverages and snacks or plan a great meal. The pre-made food is a great choice if you’re in a pinch. As of summer 22 they are working on improving the doors/ inside. Great to see local businesses thrive and grow! (Also I hate to spread the word but the cookies by the cash register are a bit of heaven.) ~Meredith

Rochester is a quaint little town just west of Wareham and east of New Bedford. There's not much to this farming community, so when we went searching for ice cream there was a lot in Wareham and New Bedford, but only Captain Bonneys near Rochester. This roadside creamery has a large variety of ice cream options for even the pickiest eaters. And their ice cream comes from 2 different local creameries, both of which have delicious options. They also serve food with some of the lowest prices we've seen yet. Beyond all of that, the kids will love you for stopping. They have tons of playsets, toys and games to play with. And it all sits just in front of a working horse stable, so through the fence they'll get to see dozens of horses. Captain Bonneys is a bit off the beaten track, but it's worth the journey for good food, ice cream and an hour of fun for the little ones. ~Jason
