Absolutely gauging in pricing! A pint of ice cream was $9.00. Häagen-Dazs and Ben and Jerry's is between $3.99-$4.99. This place is a ripoff!

Great little place to grab ice cream! The portion sizes are huge! One scoop is actually about 3! They have tons of flavors and the staff if really friendly.

Top 5 on our list of favorite CT locations, and thankfully close by! High quality ice cream, family owned, and plenty of flavors for everyone. Plus if you're GF, dairy free, or vegan there is something for everyone! Even GF cones, which are much appreciated, are available on site. I do miss the full restaurant from years past. And the location is not desirable being on the busy Berlin Tpke. They do have some picnic tables out back, but still wish they were downtown in a more family-friendly area (of course, they were here before it got so big in the area!). Also cash only, so don't forget to bring! (They do have an ATM) While the ice cream is incredible and so worth it, prices are getting a little high compared to other farm-fresh places that are not cash-only (Almost $6 for a small 1 scoop cone/dish, if that's important to you). Better value to get the 2 scoops+ when you are hungrier or can take some home. They also have a great value "flight" of scoops you can share. Highly recommend!

Great ice cream, awesome staff, great location very convenient. Definitely on my top 10 list for best ice cream places in CT. This is where my love and passion for ice cream all started!! 4.6/5 stars for me (Shout out to Mortensen's for being open all year round too!)

Such a wonderful local gem! This is such a great place for your sweet tooth cravings and treats. It is cash only.The selection and options were out of this world with very reasonable prices! I greatly appreciated the opportunity to sample some of the different flavors before making my decision! I went with the 6 flavor sampler! I got the Oregon Strawberry, Espresso, Coffee Oreo, Mint Chocolate Chip, Madagascar Vanilla, and Jungle Coconut. The Oregon Strawberry and Jungle Coconut were the best - very flavorful and fresh!The service from Rachel and Jackie was PHENOMENAL!! They were so friendly, knowledgeable, and such a joy to talk with. The ambiance is very casual and a few seating areas to sit and enjoy your dessert.

I got a shake to go with Boston blackout ice cream, strawberry ice cream, pineapple, peanut butter, and vanilla. It was so good that when I got into my car and started driving, the shake mysterious disappeared before my eyes. I had to hold myself from going back for another.
I love this place. Ice cream is fantastic but for me it’s the staff. They are all always for friendly. Like going to visit family. All the flavors are good and there are a lot to choose from.

Good ice cream spot with plenty of flavors to choose from. Cute little spot. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable! Scoops are huge. Tried out a couple of flavors and found them too sweet! Still it’s a good spot for hanging out with friends and family!
