“The staff was amazing and the ice cream was mind blowing. Of all the local, handmade ice cream shops I've visited, this one is by far the best! Chocolate was amazing and the selection was extensive! A must if you're ever in downtown Mystic!!“

“We visited mystic Park ice cream on our last day in mystic. We tried the salted caramel pretzel, campfire s'mores, PB explosion and rainbow sherbet flavors. All were delicious. We purchased a total of 6 scoops and spent $28. We left shortly after unfortunately as our son scraped his knee in the adjoining parking lot.

Ice cream shop is located right next to the water and is a fun atmosphere. Would visit again.“

“We were visiting from NJ with family and wanted ice cream, and Seven Birds did not disappoint! The ambiance was wonderful, and the ice cream itself was everything I could ask for creamy and flavorful. Trust me—my family LOVES ice cream, and we haven’t been this impressed with a shop in a long time. Every flavor looked so tempting, I wanted to try them all. On top of that, the customer service was fantastic. My oh my, this place is a gem!“

“05.25.25- Written Review: 'Big Al's Reel Reviews' EP.108 Ft. Apathy Sea Swirl 👍🏾 Mystic, CT Sea Swirl is an Amazingly Dope spot located in Mystic, CT! There is only outdoor seating so this spot recently reopened on April 25th for the Season. This afternoon my Brother AP, his children & I dropped into Sea Swirl to find out if they are serving up Good Lobster Rolls and I also had to try out one of their new "Lobster Cones". I ordered and reviewed: 1. Lobster Bisque Cone $13.99 💣 2. Hot Lobster Roll $28.99 👍🏾 I started with the Lobster Bisque Cone and enjoyed every delicious spoonful! The Lobster Cone is similar to a bread bowl with Lobster Bisque but the cone tastes like a croissant. So good! I gave it a Thumbs up but in hindsight it really deserved a bomb 💣 because it was Top Notch! Next I dove into the Lobster roll. First off, the price of the Lobster Roll is lower than most spots and it was absolutely delicious! I loved it and it earned a Thumbs👍🏾 I will drop into Sea Swirl for Lobster Rolls and Lobster Cones all summer long because that spot is Dope! I highly recommend this spot to my friends and family so hurry up and get your a** down there and check them out! Make sure to tell em', 'Big Al Mayo sent you' ☝🏾💣 'See you on the Rebound Peace out' ☝🏾❤️ -Big Al Mayo“

“Friendly staff and of course, delicious ice cream! I had Cowabunga Crunch!“

“Best Ice Cream. Chocolate was delicious. Husband had Rum Raisin, loved it“

“You're in Watch Hill, so expect it'll be pricey. And there is often wait and a chaotic line. There are usually 4 windows but often there's is no single line, you just kind of grab a spot behind whatever window is open. The lobster roll is worth every penny. The fries are the crispiest. Both so good. The DF coconut mango ice cream was good but mostly coconut, not even a hint of mango. I don't think I took any food pictures though!“

“Ben & Jerry's offers the weirdest flavors of any ice cream parlor I know. Yet, just about everything they fancy up is simply marvelous! Wifey escorted me directly to Ben and Jerry's once she saw it and I knew right away I was in for a sugar high😵‍💫. Oh well... Let the licking begin. Salted Caramel Blondie for and whatever for her. My cone was stacked so high, I got dizzy just looking at it 🤗. Boom! In a word... Delicious!“

“good treat for the family“

“Love the Flavors and the Novelty of This Gem! So Sad You're Closing for the Season in October! Don't know bout anyone else but I Eat Ice Cream All Year Long!“

“Chocolate cherry blizzard is the best! 🍫🍒“

“I recently took my family to Twisters Ice Cream, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish! The variety of flavors is impressive, with something to satisfy every taste bud. My kids were thrilled with the colorful, fun options and couldn't stop talking about the unique toppings they got to choose from. The ice cream itself is creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor—easily some of the best we've had.

The atmosphere at Twisters is welcoming and family-friendly, with plenty of seating to oversee the Mystic River that made our visit even more enjoyable. The staff was incredibly friendly and patient, especially as our little ones took their time deciding what to order. We also appreciated the clean, well-kept environment, which made us feel comfortable and at ease.

Overall, Twisters Ice Cream is a must-visit spot for families. Whether you're in the mood for a classic cone or something more adventurous, you'll find it here. We left with smiles on our faces and are already looking forward to our next visit! Highly recommended for a fun family outing.“

“Potter Hill Sweets is our absolute favorite for breakfast (and sweet treats!). Everything is delicious and Jon is so welcoming and wonderful. I can’t say enough good things!“

“Henry delivered great customer service to my friends and I. He was very engaging and we all had great conversation. The ice cream shop was very clean and well organized. My friends and I were very satisfied with our orders and we would highly recommend!“

“What a great place!!! I had sautéed portobello mushroom spinach and cheese sandwich which was delicious. They also had something I’ve never seen fluffernutter ice cream which was amazingly delicious. The place was adorable with the soda counter brought back lots of good memories. I love the sign that said no WiFi talk to someone :)“

“We love Mel’s! They support the community and always have specials for the holidays and special occasions. I love that they have nondairy options as well! Our go to is the peanut butter daze sundae 🧡“

“Westerly Dels went above and beyond for my little girl’s birthday. It is her favorite treat (nut allergic so one of the very few treats we can get that we don’t make ourselves). A gallon of Dels served her entire class (16) the mini size and and 4 adults a small, for only $25. They wrote happy birthday Lora on the cap, gave her a shovel, and balloons. Way more than I expected and it made both of our days. Thanks again!“
