38 Best Ice Cream Shops near Bloomfield

“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.“

“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 .“

“Great customer service, great selection of frozen treats. Friendly and did great with our ice cream social“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Our employer treated their employees to Blue Chip Creamery. We had their cookie ice cream sandwiches. Not only did they have a great selection but the cookies were fresh not hard and the ice cream was AMAZING!! All 100+ employees recommend them VERY HIGHLY!! They even delivered them to us and on time!! Thank you. We will use you again I'm sure!!“

“Delicious soft serve ice cream & quick service .“

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

“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!“

“It's Ben & Jerries. They are awesome. Though staff seem a little short staffed for the cleaning and last minute service needs. Seems like often one person is there to do it all. But may have been a call out that day. Always clean, variety offered.“

“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“

“These people are the nicest! What a great experience at the TPC. Their ice cream sandwich cookies are to die for and they are just so friendly. Thanks Blue Chip Creamery!“

“Pleasant staff and Excellent ice cream. Many flavors and they are all equally good. Highly recommend!!!“

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

“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!“

“Ice cream isn’t TOO cold while being probably the softest Ice cream ive ever had. Despite being soft, didn’t melt overly quick and the softness made it easy and quick to eat as well. Their flavor graham central station tasted like honey grahams which are way better than standard graham crackers. Workers were also super nice and accommodating. Only thing I’d change is if they had a vanilla brownie flavor I would’ve gotten that instead, but I’m not complaining because their chocolate brownie ice cream still tasted incredible. Would’ve took a picture but finished in less than 5 mins. 7 stars“

“When ever I want some delicious and healthy juices I always thing of Chrissy. I buy bulk but they never last too long I drink most of it in no time. It’s just that delicious 😋 especially the Mango Pineapple one of my favorites“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Not sure why there are so many bad reviews. I’ve been going here for a long time and have always gotten excellent customer service. The smoothies are also very good. Don’t listen to the bad reviews and try this place. You won’t regret it.“

“My experience at LuLu’s is warm; exciting; and informational on many topics. LuLu is soulful; friendly and supportive towards her customers. She creatively designs incentives to save your dollars so you can return for more of her good tasty treats. She is family oriented so bring your clan in for a LuLu experience 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Great small owned business! Ice cream was good and they pile it on! Variety of toppings and the smoothie was Amazing! They have sit down options and the customer service was 10 out 10. Will definitely be returning as it was a nice quick outing with the kiddos and they all enjoyed.“

“Nice chillin spot for friends and family. Late night 🍮“

“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.“

“best fresh vegetables and very good prices. In addition, a very kind, helpful, and honest staff.“

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

“Fantastic treats and amazing service!“

“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.“

“My daughter and I go to this Sweet Frog location often as we live in town. We even continued to go during the height of the pandemic because it’s important to support small businesses. I never once complained when they barricaded their public bathrooms during Covid and didn’t allow anyone to use them. Not even when my daughter had an emergency bathroom situation did I complain. We went over to Whole Foods and figured it out. But tonight I felt not wanted there. Their posted hours for Friday state they are open 9:30pm. This is untrue they are open till 9. We arrived after an evening at the park around 8:40pm (plenty of time right). I was met with “Just so you know we’re closing in a minute”. No “Hi” no “Welcome to Sweet Frog”. I actually turned to the young man and said “I’m sorry?”. Because I was so taken back at the odd greeting I received. It was so cold and rude. I have no issues with a business letting me know it’s almost time to close. I won’t even enter a business super close to closing especially if I don’t believe I will be able to get out in time. From the reviews below this seems to be the norm here now. I have to say the Froyo is always good and always fresh and I’ve never had a problem with their products. It is expensive and they are back to weighing the cups again so just be prepared for at least $10-$12 for two ice creams at minimum.“
