The café’s ambience is another highlight. It’s situated alongside a scenic walking trail with mesmerizing ocean views, making it an ideal stop for a refreshing treat. Picnic tables invite you to linger a little longer, perfect for families with children and pets alike.

Absolutely the best… beautiful location … quaint, historic small building…alongside the walking trail and ocean views…picnic tables… easy parking…beach nearby particularly good at low tide. Sally and Dominic run a business that is very friendly to both two and four legged creatures… and have the best ice cream from Round Top!!!

So happy we stumbled upon this cute shop. We had the most delicious ice cream and sorbets and the service was fabulous. Top that with perfect early September weather and it was heaven!

This coffee shop is everything I imagine perfection to be: a beautiful spot by the sea with excellent espresso and outstanding customer service. Dom and Sally are incredibly welcoming and kind; it truly feels like you're visiting friends. Whether you're stopping in for a coffee, a chat, or simply to enjoy the view, it's a wonderful experience. If I lived here, this would definitely be my go-to place!"

Amazing ice cream, vibes and views. Great for the kids to run around in the grass and parents to take in the sweeping views of harbor. Don't miss!

What a gem! I've never seen so many happy people eating amazing ice cream (salted caramel is yummy, I need to try the lavender) on a summer afternoon in Rockland. Kids playing, dogs playing, grown-ups playing. Sally and Dom seem to know everyone's name (and their dog's name, too). There's just something magical about Newty's. Ask about how it got its name...
