“It's like being in Italy and eating authentic gelato with EVERY visit to Gelatissimo Artisan Gelato in New Canaan! Grazie Nuccia!“

“Amazing place! We had our daughter’s birthday party there and it was great! Sonny, the owner is so nice and helpful! I also love how clean it is! The frozen yogurt is amazing! Highly recommend!!“

“Just opened in New Canaan! I believe they are franchises. I can imagine the anxiety the owner must have opening in the pandemic! I am sure they will do great. My daughter was all excited to go here in day 1. Staff friendly, selection great and ice cream is great!“

“Take your sweetie to this sweet shop. When you walk in the door the sweet candy smell is pervasive. So many candies and homemade ice cream flavors. Many ice cream cone options. Looks like a local version of the wonderful Kilwin’s chain, but bigger, friendlier, and sweeter.“

“Best ice cream in the US“

“Great little deli with many favorite foods & treats! Daily fresh food options are tasty. I got stuffed peppers, marinated squash salad, chicken cutlet with mushrooms & cheese. Nice selection of pickled vegetables & sauces. I will definitely be back soon!“

“Anna was so helpful and responsive in coordinating my daughter’s bday. They were also flexible and open to whatever we wanted to bring in to the store which was much appreciated. The kids had a great time and of course enjoyed their ice cream treats after dancing and crafts. Thank you Cups n’ Cones!“

“Decided on a late night sweet treat with my mother, we ended up here since it was open late at night. I ended up getting a pint of the Early Grey ice-cream. If you are a fan of Earl Grey you will absolutely love this. The ice-cream was smooth, creamy and just divine. Though there was a sign they had that states they only take tap payment so please keep that in mind.“

“The ice cream is fine. The atmosphere is almost nonexistent as there is no place to sit inside. The employees are mostly just broke teenagers trying to make a buck, but it is what it is. They get the job done, not with a smile on their face, but they get the job done.“

“Our family loves it here! The ice cream is good and it’s a convenient location for us. The parking is unfortunately insufficient, but there’s plenty of spots in the plaza right next door and a safe sidewalk, making it a reasonable solution. The staff is always very friendly and the line moves quickly.“

“Fun dessert treat! Recommend pistachio and dark chocolate sea salt combo. Delish! Looking forward to coming back.“

“Great service, a consistently yummy treat every time. The youngish guy who writes Happy Birthday on our cakes is great.

1 star off for atmosphere because there is no bench/table to sit at. It’s bright and colorful and clean which is key. There’s always that one customer who gets huffy because he/she was skipped in line. Chill, man! It’s ice cream.

Dietary restrictions: They offer an offer an “oat milk” soft serve (!)“

“homemade ice cream was amazing. love how friendly they were.“

“When my family and I came back from a day on the boat, we saw Cositas Ricas and decided to visit. Fresh fruit in ice cold drinks were exactly what we needed after swimming and sun. I tried their mangonada, a wonderful blend of sweet, tart, salt, and spice. We'll be back.“

“Ottimo 👏 lavoro . Gelato come in Italia“

“College Creamery served ice cream and shaved ice at an event I hosted in Stamford. They were fantastic! Communication was great, they were on time, everything was reasonably priced, and my guests were really pleased with all the choices. They were helpful and friendly as they served. I would totally recommend for a sweet treat at any event!“

“Great Vibe! Delicious food and coffee!“

“I have been buying the buttermilk berry cornbread such a unique flavor. It’s so good. I’m so addicted to it. I’ve never tasted such a grape flavor in ice cream ever.“

“My wife and I were dining outdoors at a nearby restaurant, and we kept seeing people walking by with ice cream cones. My wife checked her smartphone and discovered there was this ice cream shop just past the restaurant. We enjoyed our meal, but we craved ice cream, so we had our dessert at Gofer's. I had a handmade waffle cone with chocolate and black raspberry chip ice creams. Very yummy! Gofers had soft serve ice cream, ice cream cakes, ice cream quarts to go, and more. It was a popular place on a Saturday evening. It's well worth a visit.“

“I loved the SWAMP flavor and my kid loved the MUD flavor. Was recommended to us by a sweet couple ahead in line waiting with us.“

“Adore this place and their amazing mocha lattés!! Thanks, Tusk!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I recently visited Sunny Daes and tried the mango and coconut combo—it was absolutely delicious! The creamy coconut paired perfectly with the sweet, juicy mango, creating a refreshing tropical treat.

The barista was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I couldn’t resist getting some ice cream as a little treat for her smile! Overall, it’s a fantastic place with great flavors and lovely service. I’ll definitely be returning for more! Highly recommended!“

“Excellent service great prices!“

“I genuinely had the best soft serve of my life at gophers. I imagine that all soft serve dreams of being gophers. I got the coconut swirl. It wasn’t that coconut-y but it was perfectly sweet and so refreshing. My dad got the dairy free sorbet also, the blue raspberry one. It was amazing!! I cannot wait to go again.“

“What a phenomenal staff! A special shout to Anthony and Ludy, it’s refreshing to see young teens, working so hard and out of trouble. The guys make the experience even better with their superb customer service.The cookies are delicious! A must try if you live in the area or just visiting.“

“Great ice cream and customer service!“

“I recently visited Sunny Daes for the first time, and I was impressed by the quality of the ice cream. It was delicious and clearly made with care. However, the service didn't quite match up to the same standard. I understand that it can get busy, but it's important to maintain consistent and friendly customer service. Instead of feeling rushed to make a decision, a little more patience and attentiveness from the staff would greatly enhance the overall experience.“

“Ice cream is the best!! Staff is always friendly!! ☺️“

“Great ice cream and so so so many flavors to choose from! Def will be back 🙂“

“Owner is a sweetheart. Everyone always treats my family with kindness in this shop. We come here all the time. The quiche with the zucchini is amazing and the jelly cookies are very fresh on Sunday mornings. The Greenwich location is also great. In fact, I needed a cookie platter delivered on Greenwich Avenue and her son went out in the pouring rain to deliver it on time. Great addition to Westport.“

“Great coffee - delicious desserts! Also the service was top notch- so warm & attentive, I felt like I was at a family member’s house!!“

“Always a line at the Dairy Queen. Also always good treats at the Dairy Queen!“

“At first I thought what does a gopher have to do with ice cream. Then I looked down on my melting soft serve run down my firm hands. The stickiness of my fingers played out in my mind. I then Slowly took a lick of my ice cream, the soft serve vanilla with fudge suddenly expoloded in my mouth. My taste buds thanked me and I then thanked the girl at the counter for providing pleasure. Gopher I will be back and we will have our day again and many more to come.“
