I've come here for years and it has never disappointed. Cabot's is a perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or just a quick grab of some ice cream. There are multiple options for sitting, such as countertop, booth, or table. Most of the tables are small and...Read More

My experience at Cabots This restaurant has a lot to offer. Amazing decor, giving the vibe of a 90s diner. It’s very clean, except for the bathrooms, which are very filthy. But I recommend not going at rush hour, cause it might get crowdy. Cabots has traditional...Read More

Went here to get lunch with my toddler. I got the 9oz burger platter and my son got the hot dog. After ordering we realized everyone else was ordering breakfast items...so perhaps we made the wrong decision. Burger was pretty bland which is why...Read More

I've discovered a great place here! There's a huge selection of ice cream that needs to be explored. I ordered a Belgian waffle, but then I watched what people were ordering at nearby tables and realized that I'd only be able to try it in...Read More

Killer vintage ice cream experience. It gets busy but it moves quick. Definitely worth it. The ice cream is great and a dining experience like Cabot’s is just hard to come by these days.

Great food! Fish and Chips were good tasted a bit watery. The Apple Crisp ice cream is worth going in the Fall. Club sandwich didn’t include Mayo - server should have asked. Was pretty busy for a Saturday night but we still managed to get parking...Read More

Lots of ice cream for the price, and the bar/diner style layout lets you see them make it. We had front row seats (stools really) and loved every second! The food looked really good as well, so we will have to go back and try...Read More

Delicious is an understatement. The smell of hot waffles and ice cream fills up the restaurant, and most booths have direct views to where they’re making the sundaes that add so much to the fun. The ice cream is delicious, highlight the warm chocolate sauce...Read More

Cabot’s is a classic. It has that old school ice cream parlor feel and a menu that goes on forever with sundaes, shakes, floats, and even diner style food if you are craving more than dessert. The vibe is super nostalgic and fun, and it...Read More

So we came here twice in one day and brought different people because the food and the ice cream were amazing! Service could use some work. We had to ask for more water etc but the food and the ice cream can't be beat! Amazing!

It’s so cute here! It’s still like an old fashioned ice cream shop, reminded me a lot of Friendly’s. I got the grilled cheese burger and it was really good, I really loved the fries! The snickers ice cream with PB sauce was also delicious!...Read More
