29 Best Ice Cream Shops near Canton

“We had Ben and Jerry's Catering CT come as a surprise for my niece's graduation party and it was a massive hit! Our server was wonderful! The ice cream was delicious and the toppings were perfect and plentiful. We've had ice cream trucks in the past and this blew them out of the water! I highly recommend! 5 stars!“

“The staff were very helpful and gracious! I loved the chai and pumpkin ice cream and wasn't sure which one to get, so the server suggested that I sample both. Both were amazing, but the pumpkin was my favorite 😍 I shared this gem with all my friends, and will definitely be back!“

“We came here on a warm spring day after lunch nearby. The store was very cute and clean. It was a little confusing at first on where to enter to order; there were two aisles leading to the counter. There were a few tables inside and outside. The service provided by the employee was friendly and quick.

I had the churro ice cream on a waffle cone; omg, that was so good and tasted like cinnamon toast crunch cereal in milk (as the employee had described). My toddler had the marshmallow sky ice cream, which had marshmallow and chocolate chip cookie dough; he loved it of course. The prices were steep but it was worth it. We ate our ice creams outside on their patio. I really enjoyed my visit and will be back on another cheat day!“

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

“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.“

“Great Ice Cream. Going back on Thursday“

“I really enjoyed the blood orange ice cream with dark chocolate chunks. I got it topped with pecans- what a great combination. The ice cream was fresh and creamy, and it was a BIG two scoops. Perfect to satisfy my craving for ice cream on the way home from vacation.“

“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.“

“Delicious ice cream, so many good flavors to choose from! Raspberry cheesecake with gummy bears is my go to (the best gummy bears!!). The cutest animals to visit, and plenty of seating. We sat by the fire pits, then played corn hole after we finished our ice cream. Love it here!“

“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“

“You can never go wrong with Grassroots Ice Cream!

I will say I am more partial to the street food side of the restaurant, their ice cream is very good too. They always have a wide variety of flavors and you can get any flavor made into an ice cream sandwich which is pretty cool. I recommend checking out grassroots for dinner and dessert next time you are in the area! They have multiple locations as well (I am biased towards their Granby one as the food there is a bit more consistent!)“

“I had the most amazing experience at Carvel thanks to the lovely lady behind the counter! Cecelia made me the best banana barge I’ve ever had — perfectly balanced, beautifully made, and full of flavor. Her kindness and attention to detail really made my day. Thank you for going above and beyond — you’ve definitely turned a sweet treat into a sweet memory!“

“What a great establishment. I absolutely love it here. Great spot for a great sundae. Would give it 6 stars if I could. Will definitely be back here in the near future!“

“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 .“

“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.“

“Best ice cream I've ever had. I knew when they opened up 2 minutes from my house it would be dangerous! Great flavor combinations and always fresh.“

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

“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.“

“Thank you so much for making our end of the school year and start of summer event in the neighborhood a great success!! We can’t say thank you enough to Dave for making our night so memorable. He took all the precautions to make a socially distant outdoor party comfortable, safe and seamless for our guests. Everyone enjoyed a great yummy treat! Nothing like Rita’s.“

“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.“

“Top place, amazing staff who stand up to entitled midgets.“

“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!!“

“What a great establishment. I absolutely love it here. Great spot for a great sundae. Would give it 6 stars if I could. Will definitely be back here in the near future!“

“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.“

“I'm new in the Bristol area. One day I decided to come eat at friendlys and ever since I've been coming here. They are friendly here, the food is always fresh, neatly served and delicious. I love it and so does my 9 year old daughter. I'd recommend friedlys to others any day , and I do actually. My niece comes here too now with me all the time

Vegetarian options: I see they have broccoli and beef bites I haven't tried the new item yet but I'm sooo looking forward to it ! Yummy
