“good treat for the family“

“When a place offers an ice cream flavour called Superman you know I am giving it 5 ⭐️
This place was right down the road from our favourite pizza place Crown Pizza and we thought we would have desert here. I was all set on trying this Banana pudding flavour when my son pointed to the Superman. I then had no choice. Happy to say I was not disappointed in this yellow red and blue concoction. According to the board it is a combination of banana strawberry and blue moon which may be a raspberry type. Either way it was delicious especially on a chocolate dipped waffle cone.
Unfortunately I did not read the board and ordered a medium which I thought was 2 scoops but in fact it was 3. The first scoop is buried deep in the cone. A small (2 scoops)would have been plenty and they go up to XL which I believe is 5 scoops ?. These scoops are not small so be aware. They have outdoor seating under a shelter roof and parking is in the front right off the road. Staff was friendly and quick. Not too busy in the evening but that may be due to the quick service. Definitely a must try place.“

“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!!“

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

“Erin was an amazing help in finding what ice cream didn't have soy in them. And they were cheerful and super nice.
The place is clean and bright and smells amazing. (It's the waffles)

Wheelchair accessibility: It's flat with a wide turn and pass area for a push wheelchair or electric.“

“Went on a Sunday for a cup of s'mores ice cream. Very very tasty and there were a ton of options that sounded good. Great place to take kids or a family. Convenient location next to the dock

Vegetarian options: Ice cream is all vegetarian. Some meat with the pretzels but very safe for veggies

Parking: Parking in Mystic is tough. Street parking exists but you have to get there early to get a good spot.

Kid-friendliness: Tons of different options to satisfy any kid's craving“

“Very different flavors but ohhhh so yummy!!!!“

“one of our favorite places to visit. beads, educational toys that are also fun, crystals and a whole lot of other fun stuff. Great staff too- Jessie and Brandon took excellent care of us downstairs fun activities for the kids (and grown ups too :) ) and that's not even counting the dinosaur park out back... A must do experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 recently took my family to Twisters Ice Cream, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish! The variety of flavors is impressive, with something to satisfy every taste bud. My kids were thrilled with the colorful, fun options and couldn't stop talking about the unique toppings they got to choose from. The ice cream itself is creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor—easily some of the best we've had.

The atmosphere at Twisters is welcoming and family-friendly, with plenty of seating to oversee the Mystic River that made our visit even more enjoyable. The staff was incredibly friendly and patient, especially as our little ones took their time deciding what to order. We also appreciated the clean, well-kept environment, which made us feel comfortable and at ease.

Overall, Twisters Ice Cream is a must-visit spot for families. Whether you're in the mood for a classic cone or something more adventurous, you'll find it here. We left with smiles on our faces and are already looking forward to our next visit! Highly recommended for a fun family outing.“
