14 Best Ice Cream Shops near New London

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

“The staff was mostly teenagers who were engaged with customers or appropriate banter with each other. The service was good, custard and what we ordered was all to be expected. Bathroom was acceptable but did not feel private (just a door that opens into main part of the business). Parking was decent and other customers were consistently coming in for pick up or dine in.“

“I loved the ice cream. It was Hershey's, and the staff was super nice. The only objection that I might have is that they're dark chocolate. Ice cream had raspberry swirl. It would be nice to have just a dark chocolate. Ice cream for my wife. I had the cookies and cream with rainbow shots. Yum.“

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

“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!!“

“good treat for the family“

“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.“

“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!“

“I had my first Diary Queen ice cream at the Niantic branch, the heath cup-achino - it had caramel, a chocolate fudge and whippy ice cream. (I can’t remember the exact name. I will definitely have it again and take a photo next time!) It was a sundae. Huge portions. I shared mine with my other half. There was a long queue as everyone was there after the Memorial Parade. I didn’t mind waiting. There’s lots of car parking space outside. It was a take away. The only thing I was sad about was there was no coffee ice cream on the menu. I get that this place is for children, the menu was huge. You don’t want children bouncing off the walls, but adults love ice cream too.“

“We have been coming here for several years. The kids always have a great time! The staff does a super job of setting up for the festivities. During the summer the splash pad is a big hit. Love that you can bring in your own food. It’s a great and easy place to take the young ones.“

“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!“

“It’s the best Candy Store“

“I'll always be a fan of dipped cones and hot fudge sundays from Dairy Queen. Service was kind of weird. The guy working here wasn't around and the place was dark when we arrived in the evening. Then he came out and served people for a little over an hour. Then the lights went out again, so I'm not sure what their hours are. He was friendly though. I was also really excited to see the variety of flavors for dipped cones! chocolate, cherry, dreamsicle (which I hope to try when it isn't sold out) and butterscotch“

“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!“
