If you stop by the shop over the next few weeks, you might see some new faces behind the counter! 🍦

They may be new to the Cap’s crew, but they’re all local teenagers learning the ropes at their very first job. 💛

We’re so excited to have them on our team and so grateful for your kindness and encouragement while they get comfortable and learn the ins and outs of the shop!

Thank you, as always, for supporting our small business AND the awesome kids who help make Cap’s so special! 🍦

This Season at Cap's, we've hosted over 50 events at the shop, and we saved the best for last! One of our favorite events of the year is happening this Saturday: Music and Magic in the Park! If you are around this weekend, you don't want to miss out. The extremely talented Nicole Armold will perform a sing-along from 2-2:45 pm, and the famous MAGIC-AL, all the way from New York City, will put on a magic show from 3- 4 pm that will leave you awestruck!

To round out the weekend, Discount Vinyl will be performing for our final Concert in the Park series from 5-7 pm. It's a weekend filled with dancing, singing, a sprinkle of magic, and a whole lot of ice cream!

We want to give a huge thanks to our Summer Sponsors, who make it possible to put on all these events for the community. Nicolas and Associates, Kelly Janowiak & Laura Parisi - Legacy Group, and Mark Kloss, thank you so much!

Last night was about so much more than ice cream. 💙

Thank you to everyone who stopped by for our Michael J. Fox Give Back Day! Because of your support, we’re proud to donate $400 to help fund Parkinson’s research through Team Fox.

Fran and Jose Capannari will be running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon for Team Fox. Every step they take and every dollar raised helps move Parkinson’s research forward. We can’t wait to watch you cross that finish line!

Thank you for spending your night with us, enjoying a scoop, and helping make a difference. We couldn’t do it without this incredible community.

This fundraiser is especially close to our hearts. 💙

This November, the Capannari twins, Francesca and Josie, will be running the New York City Marathon as part of Team Fox, raising money for Parkinson’s research in honor of, Katie Dolan Dix.

Parkinson’s has touched our family in a very personal way, and we couldn’t be prouder of Francesca and Josie for taking on 26.2 miles to help fund research that brings hope to so many families.

On Wednesday, August 5th, from 6–9 PM, we’re joining their efforts here at Cap’s. 15% of all sales during the fundraiser will be donated to Team Fox and The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s research.

Every scoop, sundae, cone, and pint purchased helps support a cause that means so much to our family. Thank you for cheering on Francesca and Josie, honoring Katie, and helping move Parkinson’s research forward, one scoop at a time. 💙🍦

We hope to see you there.
