“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!“

“The lemon sorbet is amazing. It’s a favorite in the Town Clerks office. Thanks Frank!!! Congrats!!!“

“Great little store with everything you need. Fantastic assortment of spices, preserves, picked veggies, candy and so much more. They have daily fresh hot foods and cold salads. Anytime I buy olivye salad it’s always fresh! Delicious and you don’t have to spend all this time to cut it yourself at home. They have great variety of kielbasas and other cold deli meats. Anytime I ask for recommendation or buyers feedback they always recommend good stuff. My favorite store!“

“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!“

“Tiny ice cream place that does their own take on ice cream sundaes and shaved ice, with tons of tropical flavors and a "sundae" that has fresh fruit and condensed milk on top. The ice cream quality is very high, the people are lovely and eager to help, the portions are huge, and the combination of ice cream and fruit is extremely refreshing.“

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

“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.“

“Great addition to North Stamford! Great service, staff & of course ice cream!“

“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.“

“Very flavorful Ice cream. Service in Ft Worth, TX was great. Made for enjoyable afternoon.“

“This adorable ice cream shop has an abundance of fun flavors, all homemade! They offer gelato and ice cream made in-house. I ordered the caramel cookie gelato, which was delicious, just a tiny bit too sweet (I enjoy sweets, so this says a lot, haha). The next flavor I added on top of the caramel cookie gelato was the maple walnut ice cream. The maple walnut was crafted perfectly. I am unsure what my grandpa, grandma, and dad ordered, although they all enjoyed their ice cream as well! I appreciated how eagerly attentive the staff were when we ordered. They were even beyond informative and very patient when we were making our order. Overall, this place was worth the drive to see our family friend and left us full and happy for our drive back home!“

“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.“

“Had a great experience! Came in tonight after an event and there was a line out the door. Staff was patient and kind despite the craziness of kids running in and out. Emily was the name of our server and she was kind, joyful, organized and patient when my kids ordered 3 razzles and a milkshake during all the craziness. Will definitely be back!!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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 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.“

“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 (!)“

“Great ice cream and customer service!“

“Excellent service great prices!“

“Great Vibe! Delicious food and coffee!“

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

“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.“

“WOW! This is a fabulous store, and Aidan is the most helpful employee. He was able to fix an order and rescue my cookies! Thanks to Milk 'n Cookies, everyone will be happy and well-fed after a funeral. We need more sweetness in our lives.“

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

“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!“

“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.“
