The Juice Bar

Tomorrow we can eat broccoli, today is for ice cream.
The Juice Bar, with its quirky — luring label, was named one of the best ice cream shops in the US by Food & Wine magazine. I’m pretty sure they don’t serve juice, and if they do, no one is drinking it.
If you visit Nantucket during the off season, you won’t wait in line for long, but if you are on the island during the peak of summer, and you have a craving during any point of the day or night, you will most likely be waiting for an hour or more, but it’s worth it.
Everything here is homemade, including the sugar waffle cones which they serve warm. They also offer dairy-​free coconut milk ice cream in various flavors and cakes along with small lunch servings such a soup and sandwiches.

So delicious! If you like chunky ice cream, this is a great place to go– the chocolate chips are huge. They also have a vegan/​dairy free flavor. A little expensive, but it’s Nantucket.

Beyond delicious!!! Extensive menu but you have time to decide while waiting on line. I ordered the coconut and amaretto chip in a fresh waffle cone — might be the best I’ve ever had. Don’t visit Nantucket without getting this ice cream!

I am ruined for all other future waffle cones/​cups, this place has the best by far. The ice cream is top notch as well. One of the best ice cream experiences I have ever had.
If you can, go during non-​peak hours to avoid a line.

Yummy ice cream. Nantucket prices. Very good on a warm day!
Pumpkin pie spice and coffee ice cream!

Easily one of the best cones there is. Absolutely delicious. Their homemade ice cream is to die for and the waffle cone is unbelievable. Great smoothies too. The line is always absurd but it’s worth the wait.

Got the flavor of the day Turtle Soup. Light butterscotch ice cream with turtles and marshmallows in a homemade waffle cone. The ice cream is all homemade and delicious as well as the warm freshly made waffle cone.
The wait on a regular night is about 30 mins but don’t let the line scare you away from this.
Also if you forget cash (which is all the accept) there is an ATM inside, so don’t run out of line to get cash if you forgot some

4 ½ stars. Does anyone even order juice in this place? Maybe in the offseason. Everyone in this joint was ordering ice cream; yummy, delicious, glorious ice cream. Line out the door, hot July sun beating down on us; worth the wait. Cherry chip and banana were huge hits with us. Pricey but everything on any island is jacked up.

Very good ice cream! Pistacio is really nice. Even for european standards ;P
Selfe-​made waffels.
The queue might be very long though.

Wait on line is always fun. People joined our snapchat which was fun. Ice cream was great! Would have loved Some Cinnamon ice cream! But I love local ice cream spots so it’s always nostalgic!

Great spot in Nantucket. Cake batter on homemade waffle cone was incredible. Friendly staff. Definitely worth checking out.

Amazing selection of flavors with originality and homemade toppings with waffle cones and bowls. Take the entire family — long line every night, but moves fast with great service !

Waiting patiently in line has never been one of my virtues. So much so that I am almost always unwilling to wait on any long line for anything, preferring to find another means to whatever my end might be.
I broke that rule recently when my husband and brother-​in-​law had an urge for ice cream and only The Juice Bar would do.
I groaned when I saw the line wrapped around the corner but being the agreeable sort, I joined the crowd.
This is summer on Nantucket. Waiting for things in town seems to be the order of the day.
The line moved more quickly than I thought but perhaps that was because I was with the world’s two most chatty and social beings on the planet who made friends with everyone near us.
Once we made it through the actual doors of the establishment, we were cheek to jowl with a crowd of people in what is a tiny place but it was all ultimately very civilized. It was like reaching the finish line after a marathon when we were actually able to place our orders.
I got a double scoop; one of maple walnut and one of coconut ice cream in a home-​made waffle lined cup (the cone is generally too messy for the neat-​nik in me).
The ice cream was really creamy and flavorful and while not the very best I’ve ever had, it was delicious. The sweet waffle was the star of the day and was really good.
There are loads of flavors from which to choose. It’s hard to pick just one or two!
There are lots of other things you can get here like a brownie to go with that ice cream or smoothies and of course juices… as it is called The Juice Bar for a reason.
Was my double scoop of ice cream a delicious treat? Yes! Would I wait in that long line again? Probably not. But clearly, that’s just me.

Yes, there are long lines in the summer, it’s cash only (or local check), and it’s more expensive than a grocery store pint. Yet at this point, it is part of the Nantucket summer experience, and for good reason. Their ice cream is absolutely delicious — what can beat homemade ice cream served in a homemade still warm waffle cone? When you go, get a scoop of your favorite and a scoop of the Crantucket in a waffle cone, and then stroll around town window shopping or, if the pier is open, check out the boats.
If you decide against going because of the lines — shame on you, and more ice cream for me.

Terrific Ice Cream! Fresh and homemade. The place only takes cash or checks from local banks which isn’t great, but their ice cream is!
We had:
Cake batter ice cream with homemade hot fudge in a waffle cup (also homemade) — terrific. My girls were swiping pieces of the bowl.
Brownie a la mode ice cream with marshmallow — the hubby didn’t offer to share with me or the kids, so it must have been really good
Chocolate with sprinkles & Vanilla with sprinkles on a wafer cone — the girls seemed to enjoy it.
Great dessert spot!

What can I add that hasn’t already been stated? Not much other than they make some of the best waffle cones on earth.
There seems almost an infinite collection of ice cream options at this place! I’ve tried the toffee crunch and am in love. They also have frozen yogurt and smoothies here. It’s high season (for a bit longer) so it tends to get crowded in that tiny shop. If you can wait out the line, you’ll end up getting a delicious scoop of ice cream.
One scoop of ice cream and a homemade waffle cone will cost you somewhere around $ 5.50. Can you go somewhere off Island and spend less? Well duh! But it seems to be one of those places tourist are almost nostalgic about. I like nostalgia especially when it tastes like homemade waffle cone.
