“An ice cream shop near Yale Old Campus, sourcing dairy products from a local farm that originated in 1868.

Peach: A seasonal flavor, my absolute favorite. Late July is peach season, and the sweet aroma of peaches blends beautifully with the natural richness of milk. The first taste is the sweet and sour peach, with fruit pieces bursting like popping boba, followed by a rich and mellow fruity aroma that instantly transports you to an orchard. All of this is built on a rich and natural milk base.

Butter Pecan: A spontaneous choice. Overall, it's slightly salty within the milky flavor, with pecan nuts as a topping, making it a rather full-bodied one. Fortunately, it's not too sweet, so it's not cloying, and the slight saltiness adds a nice touch. I thought it was just okay, but my parents loved it.

Sweet Cream Chocolate Chip: Apparently their signature flavor. The sweet cream wasn't actually too sweet, but the cream was very rich and fragrant; the real sweetness came from the chocolate chips, which burst in your mouth with every chew, and even just a sample was slightly cloying.

The staff were very friendly, proactively offering recommendations and samples. Taking a break with ice cream while strolling around campus and the art gallery is definitely a great experience.“

“Best DQ in CT the ice cream is just different here the texture and taste is way better, the toppings are always generous and they actually fill the cup over the top so you definitely get what you pay for here. The employees are always polite and always get the orders correct.

Parking: There’s like 15 parking spots there is 1 handicap spot but no matter where you park you’ll be close to the building.

Kid-friendliness: Great for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: You can get here no problem with a wheel chair“

“The staff is always friendly and the black cherry soft serve us the best“

“Best cannoli I've ever had. And wonderful pizza, quiche, and pastries. My espresso place every weekend morning.“

“I would like to share my recent experience at Saray Bakery. A couple of days ago I placed my order over the phone and went to pick up on Thursday. There was a mistake with my order and it wasn’t ready. The employees seemed very apoplectic and told me to please give them 15 minutes and they will fix it. Even tho I was really in a rush i decided to wait. The ladies at the counter were so hospitable that you couldn’t be mad at them. The offered me a free coffee and 2 cookies. One lady came over to apologize again and explained the situation while the other lady worked on my order. They make my order quickly and put in another free pastry to go. That was so nice! At the end it’s not the mistake that matters it’s how they handled it and how they made me feel! Thank you lovely ladies at Saray Bakery I will be back :)“

“I think it’s mentioned that they have the best ice cream in the state, which is definitely the case! The winner for me and my wife is the pumpkin ice cream, only available in the fall. It’s a winner every time, but all their other flavors taste great!“

“Delicious ice cream and milkshakes!“

“Their new flavor banana pudding ice cream was delicious! Also liked there was a no sugar added ice cream that I could give my toddler to try.

Only wish they had some shaded seating outside since taking it to go would melt our ice cream.“

“I love DQ & we just moved to North Haven & this DQ is literally a 30 second walk. I’m so excited“

“Their teas are so good and refreshing, you can order your tea custom how you like,they have machine that shakes the drink quite vigorously to mix it well.I tried the Thai milk tea with bubbles and passionfruit green tea with mango popping. Both were very good 👍“

“Good good bueno delicious you have to try“

“I love this place. There r so many things in the menu u just wouldn't expect and it's all delicious. You also get big portions. The milkshakes are amazing. I always get takeout just because the seating area is small but it's still very nice.“

“They made the most beautiful cake for my mom's 99th birthday. Living out-of-state made organizing her birthday party difficult, but Dairy Queen made the cake part go easy. A little late with the review, but huge thanks.“

“Absolutely amazing!!! The staff are always extremely nice and quick!! It is very clean. Sometimes there can be a line but it's worth it and at no fault of anyone, everyone wants the ice cream!! I would recommend Cold Stone. They also have cakes in stock or you can special order them which is great.“

“I tell you what, Milkcraft better not EVER come to my town, because I will be 800 pounds. This bubble waffle cone is pure genius. The creativity is alive in this joint, and whoever is coming up with these ice cream ideas needs a raise. I absolutely recommend coming a couple times, just so you can enjoy all the different things they offer.“

“Fresh warm delicious cookies that taste like they literally just got out of the oven. What more could you ask for??? Yummy!“

“Today was our first time in a Shake Shack Restaurant. Ordering was a quick process and our food was ready within a good 10 minutes or so? I ordered the Smoke Shack Double with French Fries and a 50/50 Lemonade/Iced Tea. My fiancé ordered a 6 piece of Chicken Bites….Hot, Juicy and Delicious.
