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 😋“

“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 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.“

“Charming atmosphere and great owners/staff! Creamy homemade ice cream that’s well worth the trip! Great community supporter also.“

“Best ice cream around town! We moved to the area last year and discovered this spot while driving one day. We visited once and never stopped coming back. My family and I get our sweet treats from here at least once a week. We love it so much we wish they were open all year round ☺️ but nonetheless we look forward to coming here during the summer months. If you do decide to stop by, try their seasonal apple crumb caramel ice cream. It tastes just like an apple cider donut. You won’t be disappointed.“

Dietary restrictions: They had two options of sugar-free ice cream which I thought it was awesome

Parking: The parking was easy It wasn't that difficult to find a spot“

“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!“

“It's Ben & Jerries. They are awesome. Though staff seem a little short staffed for the cleaning and last minute service needs. Seems like often one person is there to do it all. But may have been a call out that day. Always clean, variety offered.“

“Chicken wings are DELICIOUS!! Definitely will eat here again.“

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

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

“large assortment of flavors including seasonal ones.“

“Rita’s is truly like no other place I’ve ever been to. We drive 45 minutes just to come here for their ice, custard and happiness. Rita’s frozen custard is just amazing. It’s sweet, creamier and thicker than a regular soft serve ice cream. Their Italian ice is some of the best I’ve ever had. You really can’t go wrong with any of the flavors they have. They are all so good! I highly recommend the gelati, and have a couple different flavors of ice with it. My personal favorites are watermelon, chocolate covered strawberry,, strawberry lemonade and sour patch red. The sprinkles they have are really good too. Worth the trip, even if it’s an hour away. There are so many great restaurants in the area.“

“Great place to eat ice cream with your family ❤️“

“Cookies are always good here, albeit a little pricey. Unfortunately, they can't GIVE you a receipt...it has to be texted or emailed, which is rather inconvenient. But at least they didn't add a tip onto my credit card, like they did at the Crumbl Cookie location in New York City (Chelsea) yesterday! And I had to remind him that I paid for
a Chocolate Milk with my order, too, which he forgot.“

“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 .“

“we went earlier this season with the kids.. fantastic...husband like the "extra thick" shake. grandchildren got kiddie cups with super generous portion. All portions were generous AND Delicious. tried to go again...but on days it wasn't open or too late. maybe this week! Nice,nice addition to our neighborhood.“

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

“Delicious, farm fresh foods! Their ice cream is amazing. I would recommend this place all day, every day!“

“Not sure why there are so many bad reviews. I’ve been going here for a long time and have always gotten excellent customer service. The smoothies are also very good. Don’t listen to the bad reviews and try this place. You won’t regret it.“

“I am not typically an ice cream girl… I go along for the ride… but lavender honey did not go to waste nor disappoint!! Beyond delicious and great staff!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“At sweet frog, you serve yourself!
First, you select the size cup you want then select the frozen yogurt and toppings. It is charged by the weight. Ithought the store was very clean for a hot summer day!! The were also tables to eat at outside! I highly recommend this place.“

“Treats so good, my friends and I drove 11 hours just to come sample the things we can’t have shipped! Lovely owner as well!“

“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.“

“great service, friendly, food was delicious!“

“this has been a great way to keep updated with the on goings in town.“
