“I recently moved to Hartford not too long ago from Manchester, and this is the best Rita’s I’ve ever ordered from. Though I’ve never been in the store myself yet, they have been super accommodating and sweet through DoorDash. The management team is very kind! If they don’t have something they will let me know as soon as I place the order. All in all, please order from them. You won’t regret it.“

“Delicious 😋
The person working was very helpful & nice. I asked if they make the ice cream and she said yes, they make it at another locstion and bring it there. I got a 2 scoop Sunday with toasted almond & maple walnut ice cream, hot fudge, and real whipped cream.
There are many toppings to choose from.
They whip the whipped cream for your order, next time I'll ask for it without sugar because it was too sweet, but still good.
I took half of it home for later 👍🍨🍦
They also have cakes & pies & other types of treats.
Very good 🍨“

“Great dinner! Loved the new chicken mozzarella sandwich.“

“Pleasant staff and Excellent ice cream. Many flavors and they are all equally good. Highly recommend!!!“

“Chicken wings are DELICIOUS!! Definitely will eat here again.“

“Ice cream isn’t TOO cold while being probably the softest Ice cream ive ever had. Despite being soft, didn’t melt overly quick and the softness made it easy and quick to eat as well. Their flavor graham central station tasted like honey grahams which are way better than standard graham crackers. Workers were also super nice and accommodating. Only thing I’d change is if they had a vanilla brownie flavor I would’ve gotten that instead, but I’m not complaining because their chocolate brownie ice cream still tasted incredible. Would’ve took a picture but finished in less than 5 mins. 7 stars“

“They are taking great precautions due to covid. Nice and clean. My grandchildren love it. ❤“

“Food is good like the new menu“

“Delicious homemade ice cream and friendly service! I think the Cookie Monster is my favorite, or the toasted almond… they are all so good I really can’t decide. Definitely check this place out for a cool sweet treat.“

“WE only discovered this branch of the Frisbee group late in 2021, but we are devoted fans now. First off, the ice cream was voted some of the best in CT ( via the Newington store) by Channel 3-TV subscribers. Next, it is the only source for No-Sugar Added ice cream in the Bloomfield area. And the site is lovely, despite the farm now being inactive. There is corn-hole for the kids to play on the spacious lawn, and plenty of parking. Finally, they keep the farm-store open more months of the year than most places, roughly April to November. We can count on a great dessert more than half of the year at Frisbee's .“

“best fresh vegetables and very good prices. In addition, a very kind, helpful, and honest staff.“

“we went earlier this season with the kids.. fantastic...husband like the "extra thick" shake. grandchildren got kiddie cups with super generous portion. All portions were generous AND Delicious. tried to go again...but on days it wasn't open or too late. maybe this week! Nice,nice addition to our neighborhood.“

“The girl that was working today 17/ September 2025, at 6:30pm was so nice and kind to me, she made my first experience at a Ben and Jerry’s very good and I plan to come back! She deserves a raise and she’s very sweet and was very quick with making my order, she was also very patient when I asked for a few samples since I’d never been here before!! 10/10“

“The snoballs are delicious! Love having a wide variety of non-dairy options. I tried the Piccadilly, the sour apple, and the Berry Nerdy, all very tasty!“

“So many choices , not enough days in the summer“

“Took my daughter for a treat today after the movies and it was delish! Loved the variety of froyo/sorbet flavors and there were so many topping options! Will be back with the rest of the fam soon for sure!!“

“When ever I want some delicious and healthy juices I always thing of Chrissy. I buy bulk but they never last too long I drink most of it in no time. It’s just that delicious 😋 especially the Mango Pineapple one of my favorites“

“Very friendly staff and fast service“

“Despite the fact that my area has Friendly's Ice Cream, Foster's Ice Cream and Dairy Queen (all wonderful brands), we seem to gravitate to Carvel. The store smells remarkable (no fried food smell), the sheer simplicity of the menu (ice cream, ice cream and more ice cream) and they have the best soft-serve. Plus 2 for 1 sundaes on Wednesdays makes it a irresistible destination.“

“Delicious, farm fresh foods! Their ice cream is amazing. I would recommend this place all day, every day!“

“I love how organized they are weather is in person or online orders they make tour order exactly how they look and yes sometimes it be busy and you have to wait a little but they are so kind and make sure that you are satisfied with your order before you walk out the door.“

“Great small owned business! Ice cream was good and they pile it on! Variety of toppings and the smoothie was Amazing! They have sit down options and the customer service was 10 out 10. Will definitely be returning as it was a nice quick outing with the kiddos and they all enjoyed.“

“Lots of flavors to choose from. We've been coming here for a few years and its always busy which is a good thing. Prices are a little high but not to bad. Staff are usually hight school or college kids and try their best with all the flavors to remember and order taking so I can't complain.“

“Excellent burgers!! Large portions! And the thick cut chips were crunchy and flavorful!!“

“I love coming here. My go to order is the egg and cheese wrap with peppers and onions and the vegetable wrap. The workers are all very nice, patient, and friendly. I highly recommend them. The taste is fresh, healthy, not salty or anything like that, which is very important to me. Shout out to Axa for waiting after hours for me to collect my order because I was stuck in traffic ❤️“

“Absolutely Great and extremely cute ❤️“

“I am not typically an ice cream girl… I go along for the ride… but lavender honey did not go to waste nor disappoint!! Beyond delicious and great staff!“
