19 Best Ice Cream Shops near New London

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

“If you grew up eating Italian ices, especially in those little white cups, you squeeze while eating in NYC. (picture shown) It didn't get any better than that!!! But trust and believe, this is a 10 out of 10 place for you to enjoy and / or remember the good ole days. All flavors!! Check them out when you feel like a cool treat!! New London Ct is on the map with this one!!! 💯 *10/19/25* ... I'm so sad for my city and surrounding cites. This delightful part of New London and surrounding cities has closed its doors permanently. They did let us know weeks ago. In the summer it was so nice to see the inside and outside tables filled with family and friends talking,laughing and enjoying cold treats. Thanks for coming Rita's. >>> P/S.... RITA'S IS OPEN AGAIN !! NEW LONDON IS VERY HAPPY COME GET YOU SOME!!! 🤩“

“This might be some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had in my life. My favorite flavor is dark chocolate raspberry truffle; while that’s a challenge to find just about anywhere, the few places where I have tried a chocolate raspberry flavor has been so mid, but Cowlick’s does it PERFECTLY. I’ve had a few of their other flavors and they’re all excellent. The only downside is they’re quite a bit of a drive from me so I stop in whenever I’m near the shore.10/10“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Love Mystic Park ice cream !“

“good treat for the family“

“I live nearby so I'm in there often. The staff has always been helpful, they carry a wide array of different gemstones, beads, and fossils, and prices aren't bad. i bought a beautiful stone I was expecting to be close to a hundred dollars for less than $20. i highly recommend. Side note: The mini golf course is VERY challenging. I was an "age restriction" complainer until I played it. It's very beautiful though.“

“Always friendly clerks and the ice-cream is indeed high quality!! Plus they have the classic flavors that I treasure since my childhood! It's a win win.( butter pecan, maple walnut).....highly recommended if you like hard ice-cream and classic flavors!“

“Ben & Jerry’s at Mohegan Sun is an absolute must-visit if you’re looking for the perfect sweet treat! We stopped by during our trip and were reminded why Ben & Jerry’s is known for having some of the best ice cream around.

The ice cream was incredibly rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Every scoop was fresh and delicious, with generous portions and plenty of mix-ins. There were so many great flavors to choose from that it was hard to decide which one to get. No matter what you order, you’re in for a treat.

The staff was friendly, patient, and helpful, even with a busy crowd. They served everyone with a smile and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. The shop was clean, organized, and had a fun, welcoming atmosphere.

After spending time at Mohegan Sun, this was the perfect way to end our day. Whether you’re craving classic flavors or something unique, Ben & Jerry’s never disappoints. It was a huge hit with our entire family, and everyone left happy.

If you’re visiting Mohegan Sun, do yourself a favor and stop by Ben & Jerry’s. Fantastic ice cream, friendly service, and a great overall experience. We will definitely be back on our next visit. Five stars all the way!“

“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!“

“Experienced dulcet de leche dazzled sundae for first time in Hollywood, FL. Was best sundae this 67 year old has ever had. Took detour to Foxwoods on trip from Boston to Albany NY.

Sundae did not disappoint... well worth the trip and detour“

“It’s the best Candy Store“

“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 had a fair experience here. Quick, efficient service for some good ice cream. The hot fudge came out HOT, which was enjoyable. Not much of a line when we visited today, but I'd return to try more flavors. We liked the Milky Way & Lavender flavors.“

“Great little chain ice cream shop that makes custom ice cream concoctions while you watch. Great choices. I really like the mud pie mojo. I usually get a "love it" size in a waffle bowl. To be fair, my atmosphere stars are based on my being spoiled and living very close to the shore and enjoying lots of great views. This place isn't in the ghetto or anything. It's just in a big strip Mall complex. I go here fairly regularly and we always enjoy it.“

“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“

“Absolutely love this place!! We go every Sunday and have never been disappointed! The staff is amazing and always make us feel welcome! I have nothing bad to say at all. Thank you Skippers for making our family time great!“
