“I stopped in today ( 6/25) after I missed my exit on I84, trying to get back to Putnam. I'm so glad I missed my exit. Food was good, and the staff was very friendly. and as a bonus, they had Orange Julius. I hadn't had one of those in 20 years. it really made my day.“
“Genuinely delicious drinks. Mango ginger is my favorite! The strawberry Boba tea is really good too.I've watched Ital grow consistently over the past year. It's wonderful to see them every week in the Manchester farmers market. I am happy to see them expand and can't wait for more!“
“Very nice, busy location. Great cookies in interesting flavors. Cookies are soft, not crispy fyi. The location is clean and secure. Limited parking in front of the store and due to location near a congested exit from the shopping plaza, I'd recommend parking in the main parking lot and walking the short distance.“
“I’ve been going there for over 12 years and everything is amazing. The chocolates are the best I’ve ever had in my 54 years on earth. You can’t go wrong - everything they make is blessed with artistry, the best ingredients and meticulous care. A true gem in the town. Try the vegan mozzarella too!“
“Sharing this timely update from Robb's Farm! This is the last weekend of the season to get scoops rather than only quarts. Last chance to get scoops! It's Robb's last week scooping ice cream in the shop! Hours are Thursday from 4-7pm and Friday/Saturday/Sunday from 12noon-8pm. We have our farm grown pumpkins and quarts of ice cream available as well, see you there!“

“There’s really nothing negative I could ever say about Rita’s. Specifically this location has some of the best service I experienced, especially for a chain eatery. Love coming here, too bad it wasn’t open year around! Yet, again, if it was I think I’d be 1000lbs because I come so often!!! These kids deserve a raise for how outstanding they treat their customers!!!“
“Top 5 on our list of favorite CT locations, and thankfully close by! High quality ice cream, family owned, and plenty of flavors for everyone. Plus if you're GF, dairy free, or vegan there is something for everyone! Even GF cones, which are much appreciated, are available on site. I do miss the full restaurant from years past. And the location is not desirable being on the busy Berlin Tpke. They do have some picnic tables out back, but still wish they were downtown in a more family-friendly area (of course, they were here before it got so big in the area!). Also cash only, so don't forget to bring! (They do have an ATM) While the ice cream is incredible and so worth it, prices are getting a little high compared to other farm-fresh places that are not cash-only (Almost $6 for a small 1 scoop cone/dish, if that's important to you). Better value to get the 2 scoops+ when you are hungrier or can take some home. They also have a great value "flight" of scoops you can share. Highly recommend!“
“Crumbl Cookies is a delightful haven for cookie enthusiasts! From their ever-rotating selection of delectable flavors to their commitment to freshness and quality, every visit is a treat for the senses. Each cookie is a perfect balance of softness and chewiness, and their generous size ensures satisfaction with every bite. The welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff only add to the overall wonderful experience. Whether you're treating yourself or sharing with loved ones, Crumbl Cookies never disappoints. Highly recommend giving them a try for a sweet indulgence that will leave you craving more!“
“We hired Blue Chip Creamery for an employee appreciation event and we were not disappointed. The ice-cream was delicious and the driver (unfortunately forgot her name, very sweet blonde woman) did a great job keeping up with the orders. The pricing was very fair and the flavors were very unique, people loved the different options! The staff were also super accommodating to our last minute attendee changes. Would 10/10 recommend this truck for any event.“
“So many different flavors to choose from, and their customer service was top notch! Their soft serve was what I tried, and it was super good! Would definitely check the hours before you stop in, as they do change with the season. I will totally be back.“
“The best ice cream! It’s better than cold stone creamery. Not only is there a great menu but you can have it made exactly the way you want when you build your own concoction. They also offer lactose free in EVERY flavor…it doesn’t get better than that. Plus, you get to watch them make it, from scratch!“
“I'm back in CT and love love love ice cream. Woke up craving some so I found this spot in Wethersfield. I had Blackraspberry Oreo with Campfire Smores it was deliciousssss ???. Like so freaking good!! As soon as I finished I couldn't wait to go back. Def will be trying everything they have especially the milkshakes. Next time I'm def getting marshmallow fluff as a topping. If you live in CT and haven't been there yet you're sooo missing out!!“
“Delicious homemade ice cream! I tried dark chocolate raspberry and mint chocolate chip both were very rich in flavor. They also have dairy free and Italian ice. Pricing overall was fairly standard. Staff was friendly. Both me and my friend enjoyed our ice cream. I came in the winter I can only imagine what this place would be like in the summer. I will definitely be back here. One of my new favorite ice cream places!“
“I just moved to town and was alone in my still empty house. The Burrstone Rd Friendly’s was close so I did a take out order online. It was done when I got there and the ladies working were so nice! The BLT was actually quite good on sourdough and the onion rings were awesome.“
“Harvey and co are a great bunch and offer high quality food and coffee to match! Especially during these winter months, there's nothing quite as sooth as their spicy mocha to start the morning.Their sandwiches, whether they are for breakfast or lunch, are phenomenal and always made with fresh baked bread and bagels. You always get your money's worth! For the last two years, I've been going to their little café pretty frequently. I've even used them for catering for a project at work. Their food and service have consistently remained top notch.“

“Manchester is my home town but I live 2000 miles away, but e when I return home I try to hit Shady Glen. SG is renown for its cheeseburgers and ice cream. Those are completely great choices, for sure, but I go down-menu for a scallop platter or whole belly clams. I get their fries and Cole slaw whenever I can. My mom accompanied me this trip, and just ordered French fries and Cole slaw, with a half-gallon of chocolate chip ice cream. I can't argue with those selections. Perfect. I got a hot fudge sundae with mint chocolate chip, scratching a childhood era itch. I love this place.“
“The Mrs. wanted ice cream and so we decided to give this place a try. We figured/hoped it would not be too crowded and at the same time, we wanted it to be good.Well, the ice cream was delicious. The place was more steady than busy thanks to the staff. They were quick and attentive & at the same time, still friendly.Now, back to the ice cream...I was going to get Salty Caramel, but "discovered" something called "Peanut Butter Chip Swirl" - Vanilla Ice Cream with Chocolate Chunks and a peanut butter ripple. I got it on a sugar cone and this thing was all I hoped for. The portion was generous and the flavor fantastic!We will definitely be coming back here again in the future...“
“Bloom Hill Farm - Ice Cream is a fairly large farm that serves some of the best tasting ice cream. There is a pretty wide selection of flavors available.My experience at this place was wonderful. I went there with a few friends on a hot day. I had a raspberry sorbet, and it was delicious.I recommend this place.“
“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM lmao. They have the best blizzards and ice cream for soft serve and the hot food isn't bad, and prices are fair considering the economy today! I have been coming to this dq for along time and don't plan on stopping anytime soon lol. The service is also really good here too so thank you for all your hard work everyone kepp it up.“
“Wow! What a great local business I found in Manchester ! Such a cute little ice cream shop.Delicious and different flavors of ice cream, plus cakes, sandwiches, shakes, floats- even coffee with ice cream drinks! Yummy.Very friendly owner.“
“The best sandwiches and best customer service in Hartford...Curt and his fellow staff members are artists in creating the best grinders whether hot or cold.I recommend this deli to anyone I see. It makes Subway look like a bunch of amateurs. Try this deli once and you'll never go anywhere else.“
“Italian ice is delicious and refreshing. You're able to sample flavors. There's sugarfree options as well. They have a drink that has gelato mixed with Italian ice. Service is always great. When it's hot outside, expect a little line but it moves pretty quickly. Inside is clean. There's several tables to sit at but I usually eat mine outside.“
“Such a sweet business. Great fro-yo flavors and lots of good toppings. The boba flavors and drinks are very good and well done. It is always very clean and pleasant inside when I visit. The staff are always very kind and helpful. I would recommend and I will be visiting again!“

“One of my favorite places to go in the summer is Rita's Italian Ice and Frozen Custard. This place sells soft serve custard, Italian ice, and specialty creations. Be sure to sample a few flavors because some of their flavors may shock you. I have never seen such a large variety of Ice flavors. They serve everything: cotton candy, strawberry colada and unicorn just to name a few of the more surprising flavors! They also have fast service and allow you to try different flavors. My favorite item to order is the gelati: layers of Italian ice and custard. My favorite to mix are mango Italian ice and vanilla custard. However, you're also able to order a cup of just Italian ice or a cup of just custard. You may want to ask for extra containers so that it's easy to take your dessert home or to a cute location to enjoy!“
“One of my new favorite places. The staff is very helpful and pleasant. Went once with my cousin who ranted and raved above their corn on the cob. She was right - it is so sweet (I ate it off the cob w/out boiling); that's how good it is. Green tomatoes were also great! They have a nice general store too. Will be back!“
