Hallet's Store — Restaurant in Yarmouth

Had been wanting to stop in for a while and finally did today. It was okay. The ice cream is not home made, I asked. And when he offered to split a frappe in half for my boys, I asked how big it was, he said 24 oz. so I said okay and he gave us two 8 oz. cups. For the frappe and small cup of ice cream it was $15 which I guess is standard fair now but still surprises me. I also don't know if there are actually any ice cream shops that make their own ice cream anymore. They all seem to outsource. Or at least outsource the base and then add stuff in, like at Smugglers.

So stop ruining the reputation of a business 130 years old.

Prefer Friendly’s? Go there. Enough with the trolling nonsense. This isnt your...

What a neat place, very nostalgic. When I asked if the old soda fountain had always been where it was, the owner showed me that my memory was pretty accurate, as he had moved it to its current location after a car crashed into the building. Great time, discussing old Yarmouth history and people. If you find yourself driving alon 6A, stop in, get a sandwich and a frappe or milkshake, and think back on simpler times. And pick up a xan of delicious...
