“The owners are great people and the place is colorful and fun for all ages. The Ice Cream is delicious and I plan on going very often this summer !!!!!!! Great atmosphere!!!! #iscreamforicecream #frozen treats“

“The ice cream is great! I love to support local, but the sllooowwww service needs to change! Two girls at the window, moving very slow, with no care in the world! The owner, outside talking to an obvious friend that is in line, not stopping to say I should go inside and help. We waited about a half hour to just get to the window to order, and there was only three people in front of us.“

“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!“

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

“We have been going for many years and even after a new owner to took over . The services have been always great . My one recommendation and it’s my favorite and had about it many years ago is to carry coconut flavored .. but other then that it’s continues to be a very busy hot spot and a nice hang out in the back . I love that place“

“On a road trip and we stopped in Wallingford for lunch and luckily we found this cute little ice cream shop right down the road. I don't eat ice cream often but when I do it's butter pecan and all I can say is, Wow!! My friends were just as happy as I was with their orders. Thank you for this great treat. Friendly staff, great ice cream and we supported a local business. Wishing there was a Banana's in Texas.“

“The first time I came here the people were very welcoming and every other time I showed up they have always shown kindness towards me. The food is great too the chopped cheese is my favorite.

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly environment“

“Went there yesterday with my brother( he had his Vietnam Vet hat on) and a worker paid for his ice cream… thank you!“

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

“The restaurant is located inside Parkville Market. If you're not familiar with Parkville Market, it's a market filled with numerous restaurant. Cool right. Parking is great. Pay attention for the Parkville at the entrance of the packing lot or you'll miss it! There's plenty of space but expect to park a little further during lunch and busy hours. While dining at Meltdown he owner came out and hit us with a major surprise! Sno N Dough(which was formerly opened but closed)was back! If you're not familiar with Sno N Dough they served sweet treats like snowcones and fried dough, Louisiana style. He is the owner of both. I have to say this totally made my day! I went right on down to get me one lol. They used to be opened right next door to Meltdown. Now theyre all the way at the other endcant make it to a carnival, no problem lol. Their fried dough is out of this world. So good i didnt get a pic lol. The difference between their snowcones and traditional is that theirs are topped with Sweet condensed milk. Baybeeee before you jugde, try it and i promise youll like it. Now i get it all through my snowcone! Highly recommend and would come again! So happy they're back!!!!“

“Spectacular ! Only the very best here folks!“

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

“Great ice cream. Love this place“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Nice chillin spot for friends and family. Late night 🍮“

“Very friendly staff and fast service“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutely Great and extremely cute ❤️“

“great service, friendly, food was delicious!“

“The best tasting pies!! Friendly staff, highly recommend.“
