32 Best Ice Cream Shops near Branford

“Lovely ice cream store in excellent location.

I pulled off the interstate while traveling to eat lunch at the Brownstone House of Guilford.

As I was leaving, what do I see directly in front of me? You guessed it, ice cream!

And no self-respecting foodie is going to ignore that gastronomical sign of the heavens, right?

Wonderful flavors, I had mint chip in a waffle cone, and an assortment of many other sweet concoctions.

They also make ice cream cakes that are holiday and season themed. I hear that Halloween time is especially enchanting.

Super friendly staff and just what I needed for dessert.“

“Excellent soups. Friendly staff. Great place to go to“

“Recomendado todo fresco y delicioso 🤤😋“

“Best DQ in CT the ice cream is just different here the texture and taste is way better, the toppings are always generous and they actually fill the cup over the top so you definitely get what you pay for here. The employees are always polite and always get the orders correct.

Parking: There’s like 15 parking spots there is 1 handicap spot but no matter where you park you’ll be close to the building.

Kid-friendliness: Great for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: You can get here no problem with a wheel chair“

“Delicious ice cream and milkshakes!“

“Good good bueno delicious you have to try“

“I love this place. There r so many things in the menu u just wouldn't expect and it's all delicious. You also get big portions. The milkshakes are amazing. I always get takeout just because the seating area is small but it's still very nice.“

“It was my first time going. Very clean. I got welcomed with a smile and got the workers assistant to show me what I needed to do. I will be going back.“

“Nice little ice cream shop with a cool atmosphere. The ice cream is creamy and simple. It is quite pricey with a regular cup coming out to about $8 before adding a waffle cone, but I’m sure their ingredients are high quality. You’re also only limited to one sample, so choose wisely when contemplating what to try. Regardless of what you get though, it will be loaded with toppings. Each bite we took had at least 3-4 slices of peach or chocolate chips in it. Worth $8? Definitely not, but I don’t regret trying it.“

“I love DQ & we just moved to North Haven & this DQ is literally a 30 second walk. I’m so excited“

“The employees at the North Haven store are always friendly, helpful and fast. I've never had an issue or mix-up with my order and the cookies, as always, are scrumptious. I particularly like their rewards program . Points add up fast and you get frequent and substantial discounts without being constantly bombarded by texts and emails or having to buy a million cookies first.“

“Every bite was delicious!“

“I love La Fenice I am a regular here and the food and care/thought of everything they do is amazing to me, it really feels like you’re in a side street Euro pastry shop! I would highly recommend to people that just need a quick bite or some hot refreshments!“

“I've been buying my feed here for over a year the people working there are well amazing always helpful, knowledgeable about their products also have been always been able to answer any questions I have had about what feeds I should use for my animals, and they are always ready to lend a hand when my wife goes there to pick up feed when im away working I wish more business were like this I can't recommend this store enough to do them justice“

“VIVI’S made my sister’s wedding party much more memorable!

My sister LOVES to drink some good ol’ fashion bubble tea that she decided to get a bulk order for her wedding party! As soon as word got out, everyone (mainly our cousins) got HYPED UP. There were even those that had it for the first time and got hooked! Everyone loved it, from simple Classic Black Milk Tea to Jasmine Milk Tea with White Pearls or Lychee Jelly! Of course for such a large order, we got a keep it simple, though admittedly I decided to grab a couple dairy-free options for those who can’t handle the power of milk. Thank you Vivi’s for supporting us on this special project and we’ll certainly be back just to have a relaxing “bubbly” time“

“Absolutely scrumptious ice cream!

This is always a go to when I am in town because of how delicious the flavors are. This probably the creamiest ice cream I’ve ever had and it is so smooth too! Definitely would recommend.“

“Fresh warm delicious cookies that taste like they literally just got out of the oven. What more could you ask for??? Yummy!“

“The burgers they serve here are special and offer unique combinations. The employees bring the food to your table with a smile and are always available to help if needed. They have well kept bathrooms which are private. You can also order regular fries, sweet potato fries, and some chips that are made on site fresh. Not to mention you can order any of those loaded which is to say covered with bacon and cheese as well as a few extra goodies. To end the meal they offer some of the best thick milk shakes with bits of good stuff like Oreos etc in them.“

“If you're ever in the New Haven East Haven area you need to come to Sandpiper restaurant it's directly across the street from the beach and it has an outdoor area with a roof over it so you can sit here even if it's raining and the staff is amazing The food is fantastic too You find it.“

“My family and I have been going here for many years and seems that just lately Friendly's became just another fast food restaurant. Let me explain. I remember when the people working there knew your face sometimes even your favorite meal or ice-cream. Now they sit you down very small talk and it seams like they can't keep there employees. Everytime we go there's a new person there. And don't get me started on the prices it's way out of hand.“

“They made the most beautiful cake for my mom's 99th birthday. Living out-of-state made organizing her birthday party difficult, but Dairy Queen made the cake part go easy. A little late with the review, but huge thanks.“

“Today was our first time in a Shake Shack Restaurant. Ordering was a quick process and our food was ready within a good 10 minutes or so?
