The Sweet Experience
Whistle Stop Ice Cream brings nostalgic charm to Mashpee Commons, offering premium handcrafted ice cream in a unique train-themed setting. With model trains circling overhead, this shop delivers more than just dessert – it creates a delightful atmosphere that appeals to visitors of all ages.
The Mashpee Commons location officially opened on July 29, 2022, expanding on the success of the original Monument Beach shop that has been serving Cape Cod since 1983. This newer location maintains the same commitment to quality while bringing Whistle Stop’s beloved ice cream closer to shoppers and visitors in Mashpee.
What sets Whistle Stop apart is their dedication to making everything in-house. Each flavor is crafted on-site using premium ingredients, continuing a tradition of quality that spans four decades on Cape Cod.
Flavors to Try
With over 40 flavors of ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sherbet, there’s something for everyone at Whistle Stop. Classic options like Very Vanilla and Chocolate sit alongside creative specialties such as Death by Chocolate (double rich Dutch chocolate with chocolate chunks and fudge swirls) and Moose Tracks (vanilla with mini peanut butter cups and chocolate fudge).
Look for their signature “Smokestack” – an impressive tower of multiple ice cream flavors, whipped cream, and toppings served in a tall clear cup. This Instagram-worthy treat has become the shop’s most distinctive offering.
Seasonal specialties rotate throughout the year, with recent options including Apple Pie, Campfire S’mores, Caramel Snickerdoodle, and even Vegan Pumpkin Oreo for those seeking dairy-free options. For something special, check out “Wanda’s Whim” – a line of ice cream cakes, pies, and cookie sandwiches that showcase owner Wanda Myers’ baking talents.
Dog lovers will appreciate that four-legged friends are welcome at outdoor seating areas, and the shop even offers special Doggie Ice Cream Treats.
Beyond the Scoop
Whistle Stop is more than just an ice cream shop – it’s a destination created by owners Don and Wanda Myers, who purchased the business in 2019 after careers in finance. Their passion for quality and community shines through in every aspect of the business.
The shop offers indoor and outdoor seating options, making it perfect for a quick treat during your Mashpee Commons shopping trip or a leisurely dessert after dinner. Take-home options include pints, quarts, and half-gallons, perfect for stocking your vacation rental freezer.
