“THE BEST ICE CREAM EVER!!!!! Literally ruined ice cream living in nyc I now am obsessed with Ashley's. Especially their blackberry ice cream flavor. And I don't even like blackberries but this is my new favorite flavor. You have to try it. It's delicious creamy and so so addicting. Defintely get a milkshake in my opinion thats the best way to experience it. I literally sometimes get 2. My one feedback is the staff is usually teenagers who hate their job and aren't very nice. I've been working since I was 16 and Defintely never had attitude but they do. But it's worth it for the ice cream. This spot is my favorite still because it has the outdoor seating available across from the green it's the cutest.Vegetarian options: It's all vegetarian!Dietary restrictions: Dairy heavy be prepared to pay the priceParking: It's right across the green so parking is difficultKid-friendliness: Perfect for kids!Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of space for your wheel chair !“

“Fabulous food, wonderful atmosphere and great staff. Noise was a bit loud, but being in a booth made all the difference. Our waiter was great, but very busy and he had a lot of tables so it took awhile to order. He was great after that - very attentive and many other helpers. Our 3rd time there and definitely my favorite spot in New Haven!!!“

“A dessert shop known for soft serve and high prices but justifies its cost with extremely quality dessert.Would definitely recommend getting more than just a soft serve such as the ice cream with cookie simply because combinations items are better and you will have a much better experience2nd in dessert only to Elm St. Diner***Ice cream + cookie = A brown butter chocolate toffee cookie with a hint of espresso is a rare find and exemplifies the sophistication of flavors in each of their items. Definitely a flagship itemBrownie Haven = An interesting flavor which may not be appealing to all flavor pallets but definitely delicious“

Arethusa Farm Dairy Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt • $
1020 Chapel St, New Haven - 6.27 miles

“We love Arethusa! Best ice cream in downtown New Haven - you need to try their seasonal flavors, especially the new hazelnut with chocolate espresso beans . The seasonal pumpkin flavor is also excellent, and the sweet cream flavor is also always a go-to. Pro-tip: You can get one scoop split into two flavors - just ask! I only wish that they were open later because sometimes I crave ice cream past 8 pm!“

Black Cherry Sundaes

“The staff were kind to a first-time visitor whose brain was fried from a day of travel.I tried the black & white milkshake. Pretty sure it made me see God.If Google Maps guides you through Green Garden St, skip that step; it's a tiny little road that unnecessarily loops you through a residential area. You can directly access the parking lot through Gerrish Ave.“

“Ice cream is good, however when I asked if possible to get one scoop half/half they do not allow to mix two flavors in one scoop. You have to buy two scoops.Scoops are really big and one scoop is pretty enough.it would be nice to taste two flavors in one.Price for one scoop is about $5Outdoor space and tables not very clean.“

Taqueria Jalisciense LLC Ice Cream Shop • $$
271 Grand Ave, New Haven - 4.79 miles

“Stopped by 1 afternoon for some traditional Mexican and this place did not disappoint. It is a mid size spot in the center of town in Wallingford. When you walk there are about 6 tables with the person taking orders by the register. The place is super casual and the girl working on the front super friendly. We had burritos and tostadas which were very good. The burrito which was what I had was super big and flavorful. Burritos are one of those meals that you can't go wrong with. The tostadas were what you would expect, crunchy with lots of toppings. Definitely a place to stop by while in Wallingford.“

“Always so fresh and warm each cookie I’ve gotten over the last 4 years. The staff are friendly. I was able to get a sample of a vegan chocolate cookie which I’d never usually try on my own and been hooked ever since thank you. Always quick as well, and the location is great so many things to explore and experience but even better ending the night with freshly baked cookies from you guys.“
