“Iconic miniature golf, brings out your inner kid; low key excellently maintained old school course but keeps you challenged for the full 18 holes. Phil & Pat are great hosts. If you lose don't forget the ice cream ? facility attached to the course, perfect finish to a perfect outing.“

“Super nice and attentive staff (two young women and owner?) Handled our 9-person group easily. Everyone tried medium cups with two flavors. Nutella was a favorite. Big comfy chairs just in front of store. Great place to eat ice cream and talk. Thanks!“

“Went here to celebrate my father's 80th birthday. I had the Walnut Maple hard ice cream.

My friend had the soft serve, which was the absolute best he has EVER tasted! And, my friend was called "Signor Gelato" when he visited his relatives in Rome (and ate ice cream like a fanatic). This is certainly top-quality ice cream and the best that we've ever had here in the states.

BTW, my Dad loved the MUSIC as well. We spent the whole time talking about the music as we ate our delicious ice cream! Definitely going back again and again! We are talking Mott the Hoople, Def Leppard, Queen, to name a few.

We followed-up for a visit on September 5th and took some photos of their current flavors. That time I tried the Maine Black Bear; highly recommended!“

“I bought three flavors of ice cream to celebrate a birthday today: butter pecan, Andes chocolate mint, and the blackberry goat cheese.

All three flavors were exceptional. The butter pecan was excellent, really smooth and salty; but the blackberry goat cheese was on another level entirely.

The ice cream parlor itself was very clean and organized. Overall a pleasant customer experience with an excellent product.

Recomended!“

“Pleasant staff and Excellent ice cream. Many flavors and they are all equally good. Highly recommend!!!“

“Just bought 3 sandwiches from a local grocery store that just opened up in our town! Glad I did my new favorite summer treat“

“large assortment of flavors including seasonal ones.“

“This ice cream shop is located in the Petal and Paws building on the corner of Cherry Brook Rd. and Route 44. They offer homemade micro batch ice cream. They had so many flavors to choose from; classics such as chocolate and vanilla to unique flavors such as Guinness, Kaluha, Jamaican rum, and chai. There were outdoor seating available and plenty of parking. Ingredients were from local farms and varies with the season; from blueberry to pumpkin ice cream. They have quarts of ice cream, ice cream cake, shakes, cones, and cups. They also have their own hot fudge sauce, ice cream sandwiches, and doggy ice cream. Other options include vegan ice cream, iced coffee, and ice cream floats. They also had hot dogs.

The service was good and it was lovely sitting outside enjoying our treats. I ordered the snickerdoodle ice cream on a waffle cone and it was huge and delicious. I look forward to trying out their other flavor offerings!“

“Food is good like the new menu“

“They are taking great precautions due to covid. Nice and clean. My grandchildren love it. ❤“

“I love carvel and if you have never been , or haven't been in there in a long time, you have to go. There ice cream is always fresh as are all the toppings. Prices are about average for quality ice cream. Service is always fast and friendly.“

“When ever I want some delicious and healthy juices I always thing of Chrissy. I buy bulk but they never last too long I drink most of it in no time. It’s just that delicious 😋 especially the Mango Pineapple one of my favorites“

“We had Ben and Jerry's Catering CT come as a surprise for my niece's graduation party and it was a massive hit! Our server was wonderful! The ice cream was delicious and the toppings were perfect and plentiful. We've had ice cream trucks in the past and this blew them out of the water! I highly recommend! 5 stars!“

“WE only discovered this branch of the Frisbee group late in 2021, but we are devoted fans now. First off, the ice cream was voted some of the best in CT ( via the Newington store) by Channel 3-TV subscribers. Next, it is the only source for No-Sugar Added ice cream in the Bloomfield area. And the site is lovely, despite the farm now being inactive. There is corn-hole for the kids to play on the spacious lawn, and plenty of parking. Finally, they keep the farm-store open more months of the year than most places, roughly April to November. We can count on a great dessert more than half of the year at Frisbee's .“

“I recently purchased my grandsons 10th birthday cake here. He wanted cookies and cream ice cream with yellow cake in the center. The staff uses pound cake and the cake was just delicious. Can't thank you enough. We will definitely return. We love Carvel!“

“My 4 year old loves the toppings bar. It’s our family’s choice for a cold treat 🍦“

“Great ice cream. Love this place“

“Great small owned business! Ice cream was good and they pile it on! Variety of toppings and the smoothie was Amazing! They have sit down options and the customer service was 10 out 10. Will definitely be returning as it was a nice quick outing with the kiddos and they all enjoyed.“

“My experience at LuLu’s is warm; exciting; and informational on many topics. LuLu is soulful; friendly and supportive towards her customers. She creatively designs incentives to save your dollars so you can return for more of her good tasty treats. She is family oriented so bring your clan in for a LuLu experience 😋“

“So many choices , not enough days in the summer“

“I love this place and I stop in everytime I go through the area. The sandwiches are hearty and reasonably priced, the coffee is great and the staff is so incredibly NICE. The interior has no frills and I love it, no froufrou, just honest to goodness food, drink, and service. Highly recommend!“

“A nice spot located in West Hartford center. I love the smell of waffle when I enter. They offer a variety of signature flavors as well as seasonal taste. The ice cream is rich. You can choice from a variety of waffle cone and topping types. Their staff are always friendly and helpful. Pricing is a bit higher than some of the other ice cream chains, but you get what you pay for.“

“I really enjoyed my chicken sandwich, it was very fresh with quality ingredients and I felt worth the money. The restaurant was very clean too, and the decor was cute with the cow pics. On the way out I tried the capacino chip ice cream. It was great, very creamy and had the right amount of chips. If I am being picky I would say I would prefer no country music but do not normally stay to eat.“

“Very friendly staff and fast service“

“I love how organized they are weather is in person or online orders they make tour order exactly how they look and yes sometimes it be busy and you have to wait a little but they are so kind and make sure that you are satisfied with your order before you walk out the door.“

“The kids love the ice cream. Employees are always attentive and the ice cream cakes are really good.“

“This is my favorite ice cream place! The only reason I did not rate 5 stars is because of inconsistency. There are times I get a good amount of ice cream and toppings for what I pay, and then there are times like today.. In which the kid literally gives me 1/3-1/2 the amount of ice cream they usually give out, a "sprinkle" of chocolate sauce, and maybe a dollop of whipped cream. I have never been so disappointed! 90% of the time they are perfect. It just depends on your server I guess.“

“We came here on a warm spring day after lunch nearby. The store was very cute and clean. It was a little confusing at first on where to enter to order; there were two aisles leading to the counter. There were a few tables inside and outside. The service provided by the employee was friendly and quick.

I had the churro ice cream on a waffle cone; omg, that was so good and tasted like cinnamon toast crunch cereal in milk (as the employee had described). My toddler had the marshmallow sky ice cream, which had marshmallow and chocolate chip cookie dough; he loved it of course. The prices were steep but it was worth it. We ate our ice creams outside on their patio. I really enjoyed my visit and will be back on another cheat day!“

“Absolutely Great and extremely cute ❤️“

“I'm new in the Bristol area. One day I decided to come eat at friendlys and ever since I've been coming here. They are friendly here, the food is always fresh, neatly served and delicious. I love it and so does my 9 year old daughter. I'd recommend friedlys to others any day , and I do actually. My niece comes here too now with me all the time

Vegetarian options: I see they have broccoli and beef bites I haven't tried the new item yet but I'm sooo looking forward to it ! Yummy

Parking: Parking is free and enough space

Kid-friendliness: The kids love it. They are kind, smile and laugh with the kids and they serve them what the kids ask for. It's so sweet

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchairs and enough room space to move around.“

“Always worth waiting in line for 45 minutes, especially lately with all of this "stay at home", this gives you the normalcy of leaving your home, and getting something sweet in the end! A win, win!!“

“great service, friendly, food was delicious!“

“We happened to come in on a busy night. Tina was our server. Her and the Manager were professional and handled the crowd with no problem. All our ice creams were perfect and it was still a pleasant environment even though every booth was full! Will definitely come back again“

“Getting to know. What is going on in our town“

“probably not no. just entering the establishment their was paper towels all over the place and every surface was sticky, got up to the counter it was well over a half hour in line grabbing our purchase for one bowl I chose the fruity pebbles roll. the quality was very good of the ice cream. behind the line it looked clean but personally I think these young folks that work their need to try and fit some lobby maintenance here and their. I know it's rough sometimes. but those kids definitely were working their butts off every associate their was friendly too. but the entry was unesthetically pleasing.“

“My current top hidden gem for amazing and authentic Mexican food. Hidden in La plaza del Mercado, this spot has the most amazing tripe soup, where the tripe was properly cleaned, no funky taste/smell, cooked perfectly tender. Great caldo de res as well, the meat was tender and had a strong beef flavor, soup was light and refreshing and the veggies provided a nice natural sweetness and the squash was incredible inside. Their tacos are great as well and their pricing is a bargain and their portions are quite good.“
