“Very flavorful Ice cream. Service in Ft Worth, TX was great. Made for enjoyable afternoon.“

“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.“

“You pay more, but you get more. The burgers are really good, fries and shakes as well. They try to have good customer service.
Unfortunately this location had messy floors and a dirty bathroom, as well as just an unkempt appearance other than the kitchen. Also forgot to pack the ketchup, utensils, etc., even though it was part of the mobile order“

“Best ice cream in the US“

“It's like being in Italy and eating authentic gelato with EVERY visit to Gelatissimo Artisan Gelato in New Canaan! Grazie Nuccia!“

“The lemon sorbet is amazing. It’s a favorite in the Town Clerks office. Thanks Frank!!! Congrats!!!“

“Tiny ice cream place that does their own take on ice cream sundaes and shaved ice, with tons of tropical flavors and a "sundae" that has fresh fruit and condensed milk on top. The ice cream quality is very high, the people are lovely and eager to help, the portions are huge, and the combination of ice cream and fruit is extremely refreshing.“

“The ice cream is fine. The atmosphere is almost nonexistent as there is no place to sit inside. The employees are mostly just broke teenagers trying to make a buck, but it is what it is. They get the job done, not with a smile on their face, but they get the job done.“

“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“

“Great little store with everything you need. Fantastic assortment of spices, preserves, picked veggies, candy and so much more. They have daily fresh hot foods and cold salads. Anytime I buy olivye salad it’s always fresh! Delicious and you don’t have to spend all this time to cut it yourself at home. They have great variety of kielbasas and other cold deli meats. Anytime I ask for recommendation or buyers feedback they always recommend good stuff. My favorite store!“

“Fun dessert treat! Recommend pistachio and dark chocolate sea salt combo. Delish! Looking forward to coming back.“

“We absolutely adore Sunny Daes of Norwalk and everyone who works there. It is the cleanest and friendliest place with the best ice cream in town. They are so kind to my kids and we pick this place over anywhere else around!!! We love you Sunny Daes!“

“Super nice place for ice cream“

“Amazing place! We had our daughter’s birthday party there and it was great! Sonny, the owner is so nice and helpful! I also love how clean it is! The frozen yogurt is amazing! Highly recommend!!“

“This is a nice locally-owned ice cream shop super close to the train station and in walking distance of a lot of shops. They’ve got sorbet, some interesting ice cream flavors, toppings, frozen yogurt, and a ton of other items. We got a cup and a cone and had quick and friendly service. The waffle cone didn’t seem homemade, but it was still tasty. Recommend for a cold treat on a hot day.“

“Great addition to North Stamford! Great service, staff & of course ice cream!“

“I loved the SWAMP flavor and my kid loved the MUD flavor. Was recommended to us by a sweet couple ahead in line waiting with us.“

“When my family and I came back from a day on the boat, we saw Cositas Ricas and decided to visit. Fresh fruit in ice cold drinks were exactly what we needed after swimming and sun. I tried their mangonada, a wonderful blend of sweet, tart, salt, and spice. We'll be back.“

“Had a great experience! Came in tonight after an event and there was a line out the door. Staff was patient and kind despite the craziness of kids running in and out. Emily was the name of our server and she was kind, joyful, organized and patient when my kids ordered 3 razzles and a milkshake during all the craziness. Will definitely be back!!“

“Great service, a consistently yummy treat every time. The youngish guy who writes Happy Birthday on our cakes is great.

1 star off for atmosphere because there is no bench/table to sit at. It’s bright and colorful and clean which is key. There’s always that one customer who gets huffy because he/she was skipped in line. Chill, man! It’s ice cream.

Dietary restrictions: They offer an offer an “oat milk” soft serve (!)“

“Ottimo 👏 lavoro . Gelato come in Italia“

“Great Vibe! Delicious food and coffee!“

“College Creamery served ice cream and shaved ice at an event I hosted in Stamford. They were fantastic! Communication was great, they were on time, everything was reasonably priced, and my guests were really pleased with all the choices. They were helpful and friendly as they served. I would totally recommend for a sweet treat at any event!“

“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.“

“I recently visited Sunny Daes for the first time, and I was impressed by the quality of the ice cream. It was delicious and clearly made with care. However, the service didn't quite match up to the same standard. I understand that it can get busy, but it's important to maintain consistent and friendly customer service. Instead of feeling rushed to make a decision, a little more patience and attentiveness from the staff would greatly enhance the overall experience.“

“My first Bubbly’s Bubble Tea. I was so excited! Got a slushy with cherry bobas. It was amazing!! So delicious and refreshing. I loved my slushy! I got a new favorite drink now and going back for more this weekend! Thank you Bubbly’s. You are a wonderful addition to Wall Street.“
