Sweet P's Ice Cream Shop • $$
Griswold Square, 51 Main St, Essex

“I was so excited to go to Sweet P's during our trip to Essex, especially after hearing they use Ashley's ice cream! We were greeted so kindly! I ordered lemon graham and salted caramel on a waffle cone. Both flavors were amazing, but man, was that lemon something special! We really enjoyed everything! This place is a must when visiting Essex.“

Scoops Ice Cream Shop • $

“I absolutely love Scoops icecream! They have a variety of delicious flavors such as Brownie Chip, Butter Crunch, and more! The thing is that it's cash only, but I don't mind it at all because they have the best icecream I had ever tasted! This place brought smiles to my family and I would reccomend it to anyone who wants icecream for a fun, reasonable, price. :)“

Oh Fudge and More Ice Cream Shop • $$
1588 Saybrook Rd, Haddam - 7.72 miles

“Simple little place. Array of fudge and chocolates that are made on-site. Had different flavors of hard ice cream (dairy) the peanut butter banana caught my eye. Sadly due to my lactose intolerance I couldn't try it. I had their vegan oreo ice cream. It was very good. My wife loved the color changing disposable spoons.Note: I did not pick up any fudge, even though that is why my wife and I stopped. All the fudge was in sealed individual packaging, which is awesome, but had warning for soy and milk. With my soy allergy I could try it. It look delicious if that counts.“

“Stopped by with little man who Smiled ear to ear when I told him it’s open for the season! So of course I HAD TO TAKE HIM! The service at the counter was very friendly, and very fast. (Take the chance in my review to remind you all to TIP YOUR SERVERS!!) put a couple bucks in the bin and went on our way. He was too excited to sit still long enough for a perfect photo: but I know we’ll be back for plant more!“

Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Shop • $$
19 Main St, Old Saybrook - 4.01 miles

“WE had a craving for dessert after dinner and decided to stop here for a fix. Sampled some flavors and decided on Choc therapy, a berry berry extraordinary sorbet, and coffee buz buz. Very quiet for a Saturday night, had the whole place to ourselves. We all enjoyed ourselves and were satisfied with our picks. Nice after dinner treat.Okay, berry berry extraordinary is thee yummiest sorbet non dairy dessert I've had yet. It made me come back. There aren't many non chocolate or non nut options, which made me choose Sorbet. I'm glad I did!“
