32 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.“

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

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

“We LOVE Dairy Cream so much 🤍“

“Very friendly and what a great couple to host we hired them for our town football team as a pregame treat and their ice cream was phenomenal!!!! Highly recommend, looking forward to booking for my personal use in the near future. Ice cream is my weakness and they definitely pass the test .10/10“

“Visited this mini golf course from out of town and had a great time. The course is beautiful, surrounded by flowers and foliage. The holes ranges from straightforward to hard with fun obstacles. You can’t beat the price, especially before 6pm. We grabbed some ice cream (so many flavors) after winning a free game in the last hole. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Their LimeChocolateChip and HoneyLavender are STILL my favorites, but there are so many flavors you'll weep, because you can't try them all in one go.... or can you?😂

DeepRoots street food next door is also excellent!“

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

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

“J Foster Ice Cream is easily one of the best ice cream spots in the area. The ice cream tastes incredibly fresh and creamy, and you can tell it is made with high-quality ingredients. They offer a great variety of flavors, and every scoop is rich and full of flavor.
The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The shop itself has a nice, relaxed atmosphere that makes it a perfect place to stop by with friends or family.
If you are anywhere near Avon, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great ice cream! 🍦“

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

“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“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!“

“Omg it’s amazing! So excited to have for this wonderful place right around the corner from my work!“

“Great ice-cream and friendly staff. I was here for their free cone day to benefit MS. There was a very long line but some of the staff was outside offering samples so it was kind of fun. Everyone was in a good mood and chatting. Staff passed out lists of flavor offerings so people could get in and out quickly. The line did move steadily. There was also a fabulous face painter there for the kids and a musician performing outside. We'll done!“

“Amazing ice cream! I got the Cappuccino flavor on a cake cone. It tasted fresh and had just the right balance of cinnamon to coffee. If you go further into this charming shop, you’ll find some bites to eat. I tried the chicken bites and waffle fries. The service was quick and the food was fresh. Everyone who works here is very nice, and Chase was a pleasure to talk to. Will definitely be returning next time I visit Simsbury.“

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

“I’m literally only giving it 5 stars because the old owner Harvey was a good guy and very business savvy. He knew my name and what I always wanted. And he connected with his customers. And that kept a HUGE clientele.

The new owners don’t know my name and are unfriendly. They are not exactly cheap and I still support. It’s a nice spot in town. Residents in West Hartford frequent there. It would be nice for them to be friendly, adaptable, relatable, down to earth and get to know their regulars who support them.

I personally will try to continue to support.

Let’s hope it’s only up from here! (Please get to know your customers!)“

“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.“

“The ONLY ice cream I will eat!!! So good!!!!😊 🍦🍨🍧“

“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!“

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

“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 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 .“

“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 (-:“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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 😋“
