“Stopped by J. Foster Ice Cream for a sweet treat and really enjoyed the experience! The ice cream was creamy, delicious, and hit the spot. They have a good amount of seating, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your ice cream instead of having to rush through it. It’s a nice, casual spot to stop by, especially when you’re craving something sweet after a meal or while exploring the area. Overall, a lovely little ice cream shop with good ice cream and a comfortable setting. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area!”

“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.”

“I regularly go to Rita’s, but I was genuinely impressed by the excellent service provided by Johnny and Mila today. They were both so kind, welcoming, and especially patient. They let me try different flavors and made sure I was happy with what I ended up getting. I was having a pretty bad day, and their kindness honestly made it so much better. It was such a simple interaction, but they really went above and beyond to make my experience a pleasant one. Rita’s is great, and employees like Johnny and Mila are a big part of what makes it such a nice place to go. I’ll definitely be back!”

“The ice cream here is absolutey phenomenal, worth making a pilgrimage to enjoy the incredibly diverse plethora of flavors, several of which have their own unique texture profile, ingredient density, and aftertaste. Furthermore, throughlut the entirety of the approximately half dozen visits that I've completed to this location, the employees have been friendly, pleasant, and comversational - even while accommodating a request for one-too-many samples from a particularly picky customer. The individuals behind the scenes that are responsible for concocting these blends of frozen treat excellence are dabbling in true artistry, and their creations should be celebrated by both locals and travelers, who when combined together, create a customer base that pays patronage to the establishment, ensuring that a creamery such as this one maintains operations for the upcoming years.”

I honestly haven’t had a cookie from Crumbl that I didn’t like! 💕🍪”

“Bagels used to be made locally at Goldberg’s, always very fresh. Picked up some today and they were not the same— could tell because they were refrigerated, slightly stale, and very different recipes. Have had tremendous breakfast food here for 5+ years, but wanted to confirm with the new owners— are bagels still sourced from Goldberg’s? If not, where from?”

“I needed a cake last minute so I called the store and they not only accepted my request but made sure to make the cake exactly how I imagined with the flavor and decoration as well in a short notice. The staff was very kind and asked every little detail regarding what I wanted and answered all of my questions. The cake was beyond my expectation and everyone loved it at the party. I will definitely order more cake from this place in the future. I highly recommend it!❤️”

“Overall, Ben & Jerry’s is a great spot to stop by for a scoop of ice cream! it’s been a staple of W. Hartford Center for many years now, and I’m grateful that it’s maintained such a long-term presence. The staff are always friendly, kind, and very efficient! The price is a little steep, but so is everything in West Hartford these days. Overall, there’s a good selection of ice cream! I consume only dairy free ice cream, and usually they will have at least 2 to 3 flavors. The selection of dairy ice cream flavors is more expansive, and they truly have something for everyone in terms of taste. Their shakes and smoothies also looked delicious as well! Unfortunately, the line is usually extremely long in the summer. The last time I was there, in late June, the line stretched all the way out the door. There were only two employees working, and they seemed quite young. They were doing a wonderful job, but it looked like a lot to juggle. In the warmer months, it may be helpful to staff more people due to the sheer volume. I wanted to mention something that occurred at my last visit that concerned me. The line was extremely long. The couple in front of us had two medium-large sheepdogs. The dogs were extremely anxious and nervous being in such a long line and in a small and cramped space. They were clearly not doing well. A staff member kindly asked the couple to bring the dogs outside. They were obviously not service dogs as they had no vest or badge and were clearly not trained to be calm in stressful situations. The couple then proceeded to lie and say they were service animals. The staff dropped it, but I feel that a sign may be helpful for the front door stating service animals only. It was uncomfortable to see these dogs in distress in such a small shop, they were whining and very anxious. Just wanted to give my feedback! Keep up the good work (-:”

“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 guy who I believe was the owner was the kindest and friendliest employee I have ever encountered. After running in right on the dot at 9:30 he kindly let us get our yogurts and made conversation while they were clearly closed. The yogurt was amazing and fresh as always and we will be life long customers. Super sad they don’t have a location near our school.”

“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.”

Ice cream has always been a beloved treat, offering a wide array of flavors that cater to every taste. Lately, however, the spotlight has shifted to more unconventional flavors, making classic choices like vanilla and chocolate seem ordinary. From ketchup to oysters, here are ten of the most unusual ice cream flavors to try.
Rainbow Cone, a Chicago ice cream shop, is spreading its colorful layers across the country for the first time in its 98-year history. The shop is known for its unique five-flavor ice cream cone, which stacks chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House, pistachio, and orange sherbet in colorful "slices." Since announcing franchising two years ago, Rainbow Cone has grown to 21 locations, mostly around Chicago, but they're not stopping there. They've also opened a store in Indiana and recently made a deal to open 10 spots in Texas.
