45 Best Ice Cream Shops near Cos Cob

“My wife and I were dining outdoors at a nearby restaurant, and we kept seeing people walking by with ice cream cones. My wife checked her smartphone and discovered there was this ice cream shop just past the restaurant. We enjoyed our meal, but we craved ice cream, so we had our dessert at Gofer's. I had a handmade waffle cone with chocolate and black raspberry chip ice creams. Very yummy! Gofers had soft serve ice cream, ice cream cakes, ice cream quarts to go, and more. It was a popular place on a Saturday evening. It's well worth a visit.“

“Their menu is the star here. I’ve learned a lot. There are so many flavors, styles & combinations that you’ll probably discover something you’ve never had before, every time. For real, they have fake flavoring but their stuff is tasty. Service can be quite slow, especially when you’re not the only one there (ha), but this place will get you coming back because it’s that good and fun. If you’re really itching, order a hot dog at Toxic Wings connected to it while you wait. Come with patience and optimism if required. Worth a visit.“

“Our BR store closed in my Pittsburgh neigbourhood years ago , so when my son moved to Greenwich , we are happy to visit BR at Greenwich for all our favorite ice cream Our grandkids love the store , as the servers are all very friendly and know them by names.

The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.“

“TropiGlace is hands down the tastiest Ecuadorian ice cream spot in Stamford! The owner, Paola, is super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I also had the BEST milkshake made by Silvia—absolutely delicious and perfectly done. Highly recommend this place for authentic flavors and great service!“

“Called in advance to see if they had nut free options for a friend who has a free nut allergy , but I wanted to take him for ice cream. The gentleman working was so helpful and let us know that they have separate nut free cases of ice cream and a totally separate case with the “nut friendly” ice creams. The scoopers don’t cross contaminate so it was super safe for our friend. Gentleman was super friendly when we arrived and ice cream was delicious. Tons of choices and variety!“

“We had such a great experience with Cups n Cones for our son’s 4th birthday. Anna was incredibly easy to work with and communication was seamless from start to finish.

She recommended vendors, and we went with Mad Science, which was a huge hit. We transformed the shop into an “ice cream science lab,” and both kids and adults loved it.

The ice cream selection—featuring Longfords ice cream was high quality and a true fan favorite, and the overall setup felt really unique.

Everything came together effortlessly for a fun, memorable celebration highly recommend!“

“I cannot say enough good things about this place. The vibe/decor, food and staff are top notch. We ordered the lamb kebab pita with fries $12.50 and Arabic style beef swarma platter $15.60. Lamb was super soft with a generous portion. The Arabic beef was not what we expected but delicious and we're glad we got it to try, it's like a chopped beef. The staff was very patient and super friendly. After we finished our food we decided to get gelato $10 for 3 scoops, we got Nutella, dulce de leche and speculoos, SO GOOD. The guy was so nice he gave my toddler his very own complimentary micro scoop in a teenie cone ❤ he took one lick and the scoop ended up on the floor and then he OFFERED HIM A REPLACEMENT!!! I wish this place was closer to NY, I would go weekly for sure!“

“I've been seeing the really good food posted on Social Media and finally made the 5 minute trek. I have to say the calzones and pizza were excellent! The calzones are enormous. Where looking forward to trying something different next time, and next time will be soon! ��“

“Ottimo 👏 lavoro . Gelato come in Italia“

“Great place to have a nice ice cream treat. The only little problem w this store is that when too many people are there the place to pay is too crowded. They should separate payment section and delivery section. Honestly some.of these entitled parents have no consideration where they are standing and just cut people off when paying. Other than that place is amazing and have lots on the menu.“

“Wow, I never thought I’d live to see the day when I’d taste something so delightful! At 82 years old, I walked into Gofer Ice Cream, unsure what to expect. My good friend Andrew liebau insisted I try a “banana split”—said I’d been missing out all my life. Well, I’ll be darned if he wasn’t right.

The handsome young man behind the counter was patient as I squinted at the flavors, though I had no idea what “cookie dough” or “rocky road” meant. In the end, I picked vanilla—simple, safe. But the moment that first spoonful melted on my tongue, I understood why folks go on about this treat. It was creamy, sweet, and softer than I imagined, like a little cloud of happiness.

I sat by the window, savoring every bite, watching children run by with their cones dripping in the sun. Maybe I waited too long to have ice cream, but I can tell you this—it won’t be my last time. Five stars, with all the joy of a new discovery“

“I love the products and the crew“

“Love this place. Their cake is amazing. Just had their Funfetti Cookie amazing. Cake Scraps is to die for. Love it here.“

“At first I thought what does a gopher have to do with ice cream. Then I looked down on my melting soft serve run down my firm hands. The stickiness of my fingers played out in my mind. I then Slowly took a lick of my ice cream, the soft serve vanilla with fudge suddenly expoloded in my mouth. My taste buds thanked me and I then thanked the girl at the counter for providing pleasure. Gopher I will be back and we will have our day again and many more to come.“

“Excellent customer service accompanied by great frozen yogurt choices and toppings. Absolutely delicious treat. I highly recommend this place to all. Well worth the trip . 😋💖“

“Just plain awesome in every way“

“Yum yum yum. Great ice cream“

“Great food abs great environment!!“

“During my recent visit to Milk and Cookies, I experienced customer service that truly went above and beyond. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile by a worker who introduced himself as Ludy. His enthusiasm and genuine friendliness immediately made me feel welcome and valued as a customer.

What impressed me most was Ludy’s incredible knowledge of all the cookies offered. He described each flavor in detail, highlighting ingredients, textures, and what made each one unique. His explanations weren’t just informative—they reflected real passion for the product and pride in his work. Before I made my final selection, Ludy also took the time to inform me about potential allergens, ensuring I could enjoy my treat safely. That level of care and attention to detail is something you don’t see everywhere.

When I told him, “You really know your stuff,” he smiled and thanked me generously, clearly appreciating the recognition. It’s rare to encounter someone who combines professionalism, kindness, and expertise so seamlessly.

Because of Ludy and the exceptional service he provided, my visit to Milk and Cookies was not just enjoyable, but rather memorable. I left with delicious cookies, a smile, and the feeling that this business genuinely cares about its customers. Without hesitation, I would give this experience a 5-star rating and recommend Milk and Cookies to anyone looking for great treats served with genuine hospitality.“

“Always a line at the Dairy Queen. Also always good treats at the Dairy Queen!“

“Constantino’s makes the perfect pizza. The ingredients are so fresh and the customer service experience is the cherry on top. We went for the soft opening a few weeks back and the atmosphere was so family oriented and welcoming. Some of the best pizza I have had! They have a bunch of different kinds but the grandma pizza and the plain pizza are out of this world! You have to try this place. Mike the owner is absolutely wonderful and knows what really good pizza is.“

“What a great day to be back at Ralph's!“

“So yummy! Cereal milkshakes are delicious! S’mores cookie was so good. Wish they stayed open a bit later but 11/10😍“

“Good Italian bake goods, gelato, and coffee.“

“BEST bakery in the state! And the ONLY nut free bakery we know of!! Thanks to Cerbone’s our boy is able to enjoy some AMAZING baked goods!!“

“Friendly staff, plenty of seating later in the evening once dinner rush dies down. Like most Shack Shack locations, orders take a long time to prepare. My dine-in order with a cheeseburger, fries, and shake took nearly 20 minutes despite there being very few customers.“
