Historic Charm in Downtown Chatham
Brick Block Ice Cream and Crepe Shop serves up sweet treats from its historic 1914 building at 10 Chatham Bars Ave in downtown Chatham. Once home to the Chatham Trust Company, this National Register of Historic Places structure now houses one of the area’s most distinctive ice cream spots.
What Makes It Special
The shop focuses on two main offerings:
- Handmade ice cream in rotating flavors, including local favorite “Muddy Sneakers”
- Sweet and savory crepes for those looking beyond frozen treats
For those with dietary restrictions, the shop offers dairy-free ice cream and vegan options, making it accessible to more visitors.
The Experience
Brick Block stands out with its historic setting and generous portions—reviewers often note that “one scoop is enough for two.” Unlike some competitors in town, they accept credit cards, making payment convenient for tourists.
Visitor Information
The shop is centrally located near Chatham’s main shopping district. While street parking can be limited in busy summer months, the shop is accessible by bike for those using the nearby Cape Cod Rail Trail.
Formerly known as Brick Block Ice Cream and Grill, the shop’s recent emphasis on crepes and handmade ice cream reflects their focus on quality dessert offerings.
