Ice Cream Shops near East Lyme

“Support your local business owner! We stopped by for quick breakfast sandwiches and coffee before heading back home. The man working was super friendly and welcoming. The place is an adorable little building. Locals hanging out catching up over coffee. The sandwich was amazing. 2 eggs which you never see anymore, and the bread was soft and fresh, I don't know if he bakes his own but it tastes like it. Would go again in a heartbeat! Also, the price is right for the area and the quality of food you get!“

“It's been awhile since I visited and found this visit to be a little more of the flavor of the old Michael's dairy. Service was strong and friendly and the ice cream is just as good as it used to be with a few more flavors. They do need to being back peppermint stick full time.“

“Thankfully, some great things don't change. This Dairy Queen was here 50 years ago when I was a kid. It's still in the same location, and the ice cream is just as good as it was back then. This place has a special place in my heart... Stopping here after sailing with my dad all those years ago was always an incredible treat.“

“I absolutely love cowslick. There ice cream is so so amazing my favorite is superman and it's so good. I hope they stay open all year around. Because who doesn't eat ice cream in the winter as well? I hope you stay open all year round! I will miss my superman ice cream so much! I love your store and ice cream sooooo much best place ever!!“

“We were visiting from CA where our local Rita's regularly has six water ice flavors. The New London Rita's shop has 12 flavors! We ordered peach water ice, mango gelati, blue raspberry gelati, and chocolate-vanilla twist frozen custard. Super affordable (less than $25 ) compared to California prices. Friendly service, easy parking, indoor or outdoor seating. Great way to cool off after a hot and humid CT day.“

“This Ben & Jerry is the Hot & Spot at night and especially on the weekend. Yet this cold deliciousness is everything. My favorite is strawberry cheesecake and chunky monkey and yes please get the waffle cone. Service is fast and be nice to tour server.“

“Take my money (which they happily did). We were in the area for a family vacation and felt like we needed a break from the beach. Found this place and so glad we did! There was so much to do and we thoroughly enjoyed all it. Huge dinosaurs and was pretty educational. There were additional activities, like a train, putt putt, bike riding, etc. Beyond that, there was also a maze, an AMAZING splash pad and great playground with obstacles. Easily wore my kid out. Only criticism was how long it took to get through the concessions line. Also, if you plan to do the splash pad, don't forget towel and extra dry clothes! Highly recommend for dinosaur fanatics if in the area, but with how much money we spent, would only take kids that are old enough to truly enjoy it.“

“Salem Valley Farms has some of the best ice cream I've had in a while! I recently went and ordered the Pumpkin Pie Sundae, which was SO GOOD! Pumpkin ice cream topped with caramel sauce, graham cracker crumbs, whipped cream, and cinnamon. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. Quick, friendly service. They just have a window to order/pickup, with no indoor seating, but there are picnic tables on the side where you can sit. Overall a great ice cream spot!“

“Tony D's isn't your typical whole bunch of flavors I've cream location but they look fun. Service was quick and efficient but I wish she would have suggested options since I was lost. The actual location has no sitting but the house next door seems is where you can go and sit, and it looked comfortable. What I liked about this place is that is just outside the hectic downtown Niantic and accessibility is perfect and has ample parking“
