“Delicious hand crafted ice creams and top notch service! Their crepes are also amazing, the chef is a wizard.“

“I recently purchased my grandsons 10th birthday cake here. He wanted cookies and cream ice cream with yellow cake in the center. The staff uses pound cake and the cake was just delicious. Can't thank you enough. We will definitely return. We love Carvel!“

“Great dinner! Loved the new chicken mozzarella sandwich.“

“Iconic miniature golf, brings out your inner kid; low key excellently maintained old school course but keeps you challenged for the full 18 holes. Phil & Pat are great hosts. If you lose don't forget the ice cream ? facility attached to the course, perfect finish to a perfect outing.“

“Store was very cool ,got some fresh corn. Ice cream was vey good, will go back .“

“The flavors here are amazing as well as the quality of ice cream. Definitely more pricey but worth it. If you want unique flavors this is the place to go as they have great seasonal items and rotating flavors. Service is quick and very large venue- both indoors and outdoors. Overall recommend“

“Rita’s is truly like no other place I’ve ever been to. We drive 45 minutes just to come here for their ice, custard and happiness. Rita’s frozen custard is just amazing. It’s sweet, creamier and thicker than a regular soft serve ice cream. Their Italian ice is some of the best I’ve ever had. You really can’t go wrong with any of the flavors they have. They are all so good! I highly recommend the gelati, and have a couple different flavors of ice with it. My personal favorites are watermelon, chocolate covered strawberry,, strawberry lemonade and sour patch red. The sprinkles they have are really good too. Worth the trip, even if it’s an hour away. There are so many great restaurants in the area.“

“I bought three flavors of ice cream to celebrate a birthday today: butter pecan, Andes chocolate mint, and the blackberry goat cheese.

All three flavors were exceptional. The butter pecan was excellent, really smooth and salty; but the blackberry goat cheese was on another level entirely.

The ice cream parlor itself was very clean and organized. Overall a pleasant customer experience with an excellent product.

Recomended!“

“Food is good like the new menu“

“Chicken wings are DELICIOUS!! Definitely will eat here again.“

“Delicious ice cream, so many good flavors to choose from! Raspberry cheesecake with gummy bears is my go to (the best gummy bears!!). The cutest animals to visit, and plenty of seating. We sat by the fire pits, then played corn hole after we finished our ice cream. Love it here!“

“The snoballs are delicious! Love having a wide variety of non-dairy options. I tried the Piccadilly, the sour apple, and the Berry Nerdy, all very tasty!“

“This ice cream shop is located in the Petal and Paws building on the corner of Cherry Brook Rd. and Route 44. They offer homemade micro batch ice cream. They had so many flavors to choose from; classics such as chocolate and vanilla to unique flavors such as Guinness, Kaluha, Jamaican rum, and chai. There were outdoor seating available and plenty of parking. Ingredients were from local farms and varies with the season; from blueberry to pumpkin ice cream. They have quarts of ice cream, ice cream cake, shakes, cones, and cups. They also have their own hot fudge sauce, ice cream sandwiches, and doggy ice cream. Other options include vegan ice cream, iced coffee, and ice cream floats. They also had hot dogs.

The service was good and it was lovely sitting outside enjoying our treats. I ordered the snickerdoodle ice cream on a waffle cone and it was huge and delicious. I look forward to trying out their other flavor offerings!“

“Great place to eat ice cream with your family ❤️“

“Took my daughter for a treat today after the movies and it was delish! Loved the variety of froyo/sorbet flavors and there were so many topping options! Will be back with the rest of the fam soon for sure!!“

“We had Ben and Jerry's Catering CT come as a surprise for my niece's graduation party and it was a massive hit! Our server was wonderful! The ice cream was delicious and the toppings were perfect and plentiful. We've had ice cream trucks in the past and this blew them out of the water! I highly recommend! 5 stars!“

“WE only discovered this branch of the Frisbee group late in 2021, but we are devoted fans now. First off, the ice cream was voted some of the best in CT ( via the Newington store) by Channel 3-TV subscribers. Next, it is the only source for No-Sugar Added ice cream in the Bloomfield area. And the site is lovely, despite the farm now being inactive. There is corn-hole for the kids to play on the spacious lawn, and plenty of parking. Finally, they keep the farm-store open more months of the year than most places, roughly April to November. We can count on a great dessert more than half of the year at Frisbee's .“

“A nice spot located in West Hartford center. I love the smell of waffle when I enter. They offer a variety of signature flavors as well as seasonal taste. The ice cream is rich. You can choice from a variety of waffle cone and topping types. Their staff are always friendly and helpful. Pricing is a bit higher than some of the other ice cream chains, but you get what you pay for.“

“Icy Rolls serves stir fried ice cream or rolled ice cream and bubble tea. This type of ice cream originated from Thailand. They use a mixture of cream, milk, sugar, and other ingredients; this mixture gets poured over a very cold ice pan. They constantly mix/stir it, then flatten it, and roll it up. After, toppings can be added onto it.

I had the French toast which was very tasty; it was sweet and extra cold and reminded me of cinnamon toast crunch. I had one topping, the marshmallows, which I don't recommend since it was stale. I also had the taro boba tea sans the boba pearls; they didn't have any but I still had the taro tea and it was good. My toddler had the birthday cake flavored rolled ice cream and he loved it, especially with the m&m and gummy bear toppings. The location was convenient; it was in a plaza with plenty of parking. The employee was friendly. Overall, a good spot to get this type of specialty ice cream, without going to Thailand.“

“I love carvel and if you have never been , or haven't been in there in a long time, you have to go. There ice cream is always fresh as are all the toppings. Prices are about average for quality ice cream. Service is always fast and friendly.“

“So many choices , not enough days in the summer“

“I love this place and I stop in everytime I go through the area. The sandwiches are hearty and reasonably priced, the coffee is great and the staff is so incredibly NICE. The interior has no frills and I love it, no froufrou, just honest to goodness food, drink, and service. Highly recommend!“

“Very friendly staff and fast service“

“I love how organized they are weather is in person or online orders they make tour order exactly how they look and yes sometimes it be busy and you have to wait a little but they are so kind and make sure that you are satisfied with your order before you walk out the door.“

“The kids love the ice cream. Employees are always attentive and the ice cream cakes are really good.“

“This is my favorite ice cream place! The only reason I did not rate 5 stars is because of inconsistency. There are times I get a good amount of ice cream and toppings for what I pay, and then there are times like today.. In which the kid literally gives me 1/3-1/2 the amount of ice cream they usually give out, a "sprinkle" of chocolate sauce, and maybe a dollop of whipped cream. I have never been so disappointed! 90% of the time they are perfect. It just depends on your server I guess.“

“Super nice and attentive staff (two young women and owner?) Handled our 9-person group easily. Everyone tried medium cups with two flavors. Nutella was a favorite. Big comfy chairs just in front of store. Great place to eat ice cream and talk. Thanks!“

“We came here on a warm spring day after lunch nearby. The store was very cute and clean. It was a little confusing at first on where to enter to order; there were two aisles leading to the counter. There were a few tables inside and outside. The service provided by the employee was friendly and quick.

I had the churro ice cream on a waffle cone; omg, that was so good and tasted like cinnamon toast crunch cereal in milk (as the employee had described). My toddler had the marshmallow sky ice cream, which had marshmallow and chocolate chip cookie dough; he loved it of course. The prices were steep but it was worth it. We ate our ice creams outside on their patio. I really enjoyed my visit and will be back on another cheat day!“

“Absolutely Great and extremely cute ❤️“

“I'm new in the Bristol area. One day I decided to come eat at friendlys and ever since I've been coming here. They are friendly here, the food is always fresh, neatly served and delicious. I love it and so does my 9 year old daughter. I'd recommend friedlys to others any day , and I do actually. My niece comes here too now with me all the time

Vegetarian options: I see they have broccoli and beef bites I haven't tried the new item yet but I'm sooo looking forward to it ! Yummy

Parking: Parking is free and enough space

Kid-friendliness: The kids love it. They are kind, smile and laugh with the kids and they serve them what the kids ask for. It's so sweet

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchairs and enough room space to move around.“

“probably not no. just entering the establishment their was paper towels all over the place and every surface was sticky, got up to the counter it was well over a half hour in line grabbing our purchase for one bowl I chose the fruity pebbles roll. the quality was very good of the ice cream. behind the line it looked clean but personally I think these young folks that work their need to try and fit some lobby maintenance here and their. I know it's rough sometimes. but those kids definitely were working their butts off every associate their was friendly too. but the entry was unesthetically pleasing.“

“Too many out of order flavors all the time
Other than that there's plenty of sitting space, the toppings are good, the flavors are good, there's a bathroom for customers, and in general it is a pleasant place to go and have some dairy-free frozen yogurt. Lots of toppings too.“

“Rafael at the Newington location was great it was my first time there he was super helpful and the burger and fries were great the location was nice and clean great experience will be going again 5 stars“
