“We have been sleeping on these ice cream cupcakes for years, WHY DID I JUST DISCOVER THESE! They have them available for order, or often just in the freezer up front. 11/10, honestly so good! And a great deal! Staff is always lovely as well.“

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

“Amazing ice cream parlor! Was in the mood for a soft serve hot fudge sundae and Pat's did not disappoint. They have both soft serve and ice cream. Parking can be tight in the front but there's space around back. Some seating inside with plenty outside. What makes this space special is the people - always friendly and smiling!“

“First time visitor, the selection is great and the service was excellent. They have custom cakes, dog friendly treats, and generous portions. Ice cream tasted fresh and the area was clean. Would definitely come by again when craving ice cream in the Kensington area!“

“Not only is this ice cream shop serving amazing treats that are delicious with great service, but now they have a Food Truck to serve the yummy ice cream as well. We got the Scoopys Truck for our daughter’s birthday party as she loves their ice cream. It was a huge hit with everyone there and as always the service was great!! Highly recommend hiring them for your birthdays, corporate events etc! Thank you Scoopys!“

“very good ice cream never disappoints.“

“This was my first time at Wentworth’s, and I’m so glad a friend recommended it—especially because they offer dog-friendly ice cream! It was my pup’s 8th birthday, and I couldn’t find a place that felt special enough until I heard about Wentworth’s. The team at the counter was amazing—so friendly, helpful, and genuinely excited when they heard it was her big day. My dog devoured her birthday treat (tail wags of approval!), and my mom and I were equally impressed. She had the chocolate chip raspberry and I had the peanut butter Oreo—both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich, creamy, and just hit the spot. We left with full hearts and full stomachs. We’ll definitely be back very soon. Thanks, Wentworth’s, for making our celebration so sweet!“

“Creamy rich ice cream. Great portions. Great prices. Cute place to enjoy. Dog friendly. Kiddie size is more than enough for an adult. Smalls are huge! But I wish they would change up their flavors. Non chocolate, peanut butter and fruit types are bland and need a flavor immersion pop. The menu needs to add more flavors or change them up.“

“We purchased an ice cream cake for our daughter’s birthday and it was beautiful and delicious! They were extremely accommodating with my daughter’s picky taste! Highly recommend using them for your next cake 😊“

“I was having a party for my son and a guest was gluten and dairy free and wanted her to have something special too! I had seen this bakery on Facebook and live 5 mins away so it seemed a perfect opportunity to try. I purchased a chocolate zuchinni cake for the little girl and while there I grabbed an Oreo tres leche cake for myself. LET ME TELL YOUUUUUUU!!! That Oreo cake was OUT OF THIS WORLD! I will absolutely be back for treats here and will recommend them to anyone looking for something sweet, whether gluten free or not. Seriously, get here.“

“large assortment of flavors including seasonal ones.“

“Spectacular ! Only the very best here folks!“

“Delicious homemade ice cream and friendly service! I think the Cookie Monster is my favorite, or the toasted almond… they are all so good I really can’t decide. Definitely check this place out for a cool sweet treat.“

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

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

“Great ice cream. Love this place“

“Very friendly staff and fast service“

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

“A little pricey, but the high quality of the ice cream is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend Praline's over several other local shops for that very reason. We will be back A LOT lol Ice Cream is my weakness and now I need to try every flavor 😋 Great timing as summer is coming quickly!!“

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

“Cupcakes are very good. Not too much topping and cake is moist. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend!“

“I'm originally from Texas and I was raised on food this good and well prepared, but usually you had to be invited to a Sunday cookout with your buddy and their 50 closest relatives for this level. The service is great, the food comes out quick and fresh, the flavors are top notch and very authentic for South Texas/ Northern Mexico. We've been twice and we're excited that we've found actual Mexican cuisine up here. Who would have thought Wallingford would have such a gem! Wallingford is for Foodies I'm quickly finding out.“

“What an amazing experience!! The cascading waterfalls, scenic walkways, and covered bridges shaded by gorgeous Japanese Maple trees is such a zen mini golf experience. They have something for the whole family including a wooden train and wooden ship play area. There is a beer garden if you want to stop for a cold brew, food, and Italian Ice and ice cream. We had such a great day!“

“The food was AMAZING! very flavourful. The service was great. Everyone was very attentive and made sure we was taken care of. Thank you . We can't wait to go back. Let's not forget the fresh Lemmon squeezed lemonade ?. MUST VISIT!“

“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“

“Lisa, Kayla and the team were awesome creating 75 ice cream cupcakes for my grandsons 3rd Birthday party. They were decorated perfectly with the Disney Cars theme of Lightening McQueen. The adults were so impressed having something unique and the kids were excited having a Lightening McQueen treat… thank you for adding that special touch to our party.“

“Loved 😍 this place my daughter's favorite but some ruin it by not realizing you pay by Weight. And teenagers started eating before they paid & ruined everyone experience. You cant be charged by you already ate if its by Weight. Common sense.“

“The worse meal ever! Went there tonight. What. Happened??! Dehydrated onions. Omg. Really. New owners. I take it. Terrible“

“Our number #1 spot once spring hits ❤️we love coming here food is very good 😍Been coming here for long time highly recommend“

“The frozen yogurt was good, though it was a bit more frozen and firm than other places I have been to. The store was very clean and nothing gross stood out. The service was average overall, but they were ready and when it came time to check out. The best part of the shop was definitely the atmosphere and decor. It is the nicest looking frozen yogurt place I have been to. Prices were about average compared to other frozen yogurt shops. Overall, it is a solid spot I would visit again.“
