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

“Despite the fact that my area has Friendly's Ice Cream, Foster's Ice Cream and Dairy Queen (all wonderful brands), we seem to gravitate to Carvel. The store smells remarkable (no fried food smell), the sheer simplicity of the menu (ice cream, ice cream and more ice cream) and they have the best soft-serve. Plus 2 for 1 sundaes on Wednesdays makes it a irresistible destination.“

“The best ice cream! Very unique flavors and best customer service“

“A nice visit opening day followed by ice cream. The grounds were kept pretty well and even with it being pretty busy things moved well. An average sized lot with a single course of 18 holes. The holes were all fairly simple in design. But less frustration from my son thanks to that. We had a great time. A nice family owned spot.“

“Best ice cream around town! We moved to the area last year and discovered this spot while driving one day. We visited once and never stopped coming back. My family and I get our sweet treats from here at least once a week. We love it so much we wish they were open all year round ☺️ but nonetheless we look forward to coming here during the summer months. If you do decide to stop by, try their seasonal apple crumb caramel ice cream. It tastes just like an apple cider donut. You won’t be disappointed.“

“highly recommend , clean place and safe, very colorful decor inside.“

“I recently moved to Hartford not too long ago from Manchester, and this is the best Rita’s I’ve ever ordered from. Though I’ve never been in the store myself yet, they have been super accommodating and sweet through DoorDash. The management team is very kind! If they don’t have something they will let me know as soon as I place the order. All in all, please order from them. You won’t regret it.“

“Great Ice Cream. Going back on Thursday“

“Best ice cream in the area the flours are so unique and not at all sugary. The sugar level is perfect. The chocolate chip blood orange, rose chocolate ship, these are some of our favorites and love love love this place! even the street food is so good must visit place and we visit very very frequently.“

“Thank you so much for making our end of the school year and start of summer event in the neighborhood a great success!! We can’t say thank you enough to Dave for making our night so memorable. He took all the precautions to make a socially distant outdoor party comfortable, safe and seamless for our guests. Everyone enjoyed a great yummy treat! Nothing like Rita’s.“

“The staff were very helpful and gracious! I loved the chai and pumpkin ice cream and wasn't sure which one to get, so the server suggested that I sample both. Both were amazing, but the pumpkin was my favorite 😍 I shared this gem with all my friends, and will definitely be back!“

“Food is good like the new menu“

“A little pricey, but the high quality of the ice cream is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend Praline's over several other local shops for that very reason. We will be back A LOT lol Ice Cream is my weakness and now I need to try every flavor 😋 Great timing as summer is coming quickly!!“

“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 went earlier this season with the kids.. fantastic...husband like the "extra thick" shake. grandchildren got kiddie cups with super generous portion. All portions were generous AND Delicious. tried to go again...but on days it wasn't open or too late. maybe this week! Nice,nice addition to our neighborhood.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Crumbl Cookies is excellent! The cookies are always fresh, soft, and full of flavor. I love how they have different flavors every week, and every cookie I’ve tried has been amazing. The staff is friendly, the store is clean, and the desserts are definitely worth it. Great experience overall — highly recommend!“

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

“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!“

“Super friendly staff! A must see at westfarms, great gelato and smoothies made with real fruit! Great to go with your Sally’s to go
Slightly hidden behind pandoras construction, but they are located by nail tique, sweet galaxy, Sally’s apizza, and pandora“

“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.“

“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“

“My current top hidden gem for amazing and authentic Mexican food. Hidden in La plaza del Mercado, this spot has the most amazing tripe soup, where the tripe was properly cleaned, no funky taste/smell, cooked perfectly tender. Great caldo de res as well, the meat was tender and had a strong beef flavor, soup was light and refreshing and the veggies provided a nice natural sweetness and the squash was incredible inside. Their tacos are great as well and their pricing is a bargain and their portions are quite good.“

“The yummiest ice cream and toppings, and the fresh homemade whipped cream is a must (it’s divine!). Friendly, attentive service too. A little bit of sweet nostalgia in the middle of life’s busyness. My new place to treat myself when I have earned a pat on the back :-)“

“Clean and comfortable place. Yogurt was good. Tons of toppings. You pay by the weight. Was kinda pricey for 2 of us....but I'm probably not used to these prices now a days!! If you bring 2 or 3 kids, it would be quite expensive!! Online opening time says 1pm, but door says 2pm. They opened close to 2pm.“

“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.“

“Today was a beautiful day for me, and I felt like treating myself to a cold ice cream from MilkCraf. Upon entering the location, I was immediately impressed by the welcoming atmosphere, which felt like a haven. A young black man, who was diligently working on some reports, promptly attended to me with a very attractive and professional demeanor. I was unsure about which ice cream flavor I wanted and asked if he had pistachio, to which he replied no, but offered to let me try any other flavor and provided me with two samples of the two flavors I requested. He was very pleasant and soft-spoken, which made me feel at ease. As I considered my options, I was mindful of my budget, as I hadn't planned on splurging. However, the prices were higher than I had anticipated, and I informed him of my concern. He was very focused and offered to give me a discount, which I gratefully accepted. I asked for vanilla with caramel on a cone, and he efficiently prepared my order. I felt truly blessed by his kindness and told him so, expressing my gratitude for his blessings. I believe that he possesses all the qualities necessary to run a successful and loyal business, and his ability to provide excellent customer service with a blessing spirit is truly admirable. The ice cream was not only delicious but also generously portioned. I highly recommend this establishment to everyone, as we need more individuals like this young man who understand the importance of kindness, peace, and love in building strong relationships with customers. 🍨🍦

Thank you, can't wait to visit again. But with the correct amount of funding... Lol 😂“
