This ice cream spot in New Haven, CT is the to-die-for spot for desserts.
If you have a dog, this is the #1 ice cream shop to bring them. They have treats and vanilla cream for pups. This shop was named after a dog, Ashley, and as such all the employees have so much patience and kindness for dogs. One guy came out, petted our dog and gave her a treat. You don’t get that treatment at any ice cream shop!
Plus, look at that wall of Dog Fame. So many dogs and they have a whole wall dedicated to that awesomeness. Hot damn.
Dog friendliness aside, their flavors are insanely good too. You can tell because I’ve rated this 5/5, which I rarely do.
Their best flavor I tried is Coffee Oreo. Lot of sugar but it’s so good. In fact we came back again, and I had it again.
First time I had: Butter Pecan + Coffee Oreo. Really awesome combo.
Second time: cookie batter + coffee Oreo. Cookie dough was bit too sweet but was nice.
I would rate ice cream itself as 4/5 and it’s not the best, and variety 3/5 because I feel they could have more, but given candor and general dog friendliness of all the staff (PS they do allow them inside!) I will rate up. After pizza from Wooster Street which is right down from Yale, this ice cream shop is nearby and it’s THE destination to stop by. If we bring our dog or ever visit CT again, we’ll definitely stop by Ashley’s in New Haven. High five!

I like the ice cream here and I like the fact that you can get a very small portion. The staff appears to be comprised of a bunch of kids who don't care very much. They would rather be texting on their phones then cleaning the tables.

I had two scoops the Nutella chips and coffee Oreo. They were a perfect combination! Highly recommend trying it!

First time I went, I got the black raspberry. It was not good, way too sweet. Second time I went, I got the mint chip, so good. So glad I gave it another try! Best mint chip I've had.

Loved the ice cream and the service as well. Definitely recommended
One of the best ice cream spots around. Also reasonably priced. I had their milkshake it had more of the milk flavor than the icecream flavor but I think that is because of the flavor I chose. Otherwise a great ice cream spot.

Such a good experience! I love ashleys its my favorite ice cream shop ever. And their black raspberry ice cream is unbelievable my favorite flavor ever. And I hate raspberries. They staff is decent they could be nicer is my only feedback. Sometimes they look like they hate their job. This location doesn't have outdoor seating just in case the one in branford does though! It's retro style and cute.
Vegetarian options: All vegetarian
Dietary restrictions: All dairy heavy
Parking: Its right by Yale the parking is impossible
Kid-friendliness: Decent for kids but almost no seating so get takeout
Wheelchair accessibility: It's fairly open a bit cramped for a wheelchair
Worth it! Bitter Sweet was our favorite.
