16 Best Ice Cream Shops near Newtown

“Holy Cow is a must-stop! It’s become a habit to stop by, and for good reason— the ice cream here is exceptionally good. I want to give a huge shoutout to the owner and staff for their amazing work. The customer service is hands down the friendliest I’ve experienced at any creamery.
One highlight for me is the chocolate dip. When I asked for it, I was blown away—it’s thick, rich, and truly feels like real chocolate, not just a thin syrup. This dip makes all the difference!
My favorite flavor is the wild strawberry—it’s not just regular strawberry, it’s the best version of it. They also occasionally have peach jam, which is just out of this world. I can’t get enough of it.
The shop itself has a charming, cozy atmosphere. There’s plenty of parking, a nice backyard with tables, a small bench, and even toy cars where kids can play. It’s one of my favorite places to be.“

“During my recent visit to Ferris Creamery, I was impressed by the quality and variety of their ice cream and treats. While I've always enjoyed the ice cream at Riches Farms in Oxford, I have to say that Ferris Creamery is equally as amazing. 😋🍦“

“Great customer service. And the flavors were so intense. I ended up getting chocolate hazelnut and almond gelatos. I was not disappointed.“

“We just tried Il Bacio for the first time and I can’t believe we didn’t know about them before! It was absolutely delicious— we will definitely go back!“

“Always so nice! Delicious icecream! A very nice addition to Monroe!“

“Dr. Mike's Ice Cream is BY FAR the best ice cream I have ever had anywhere. No contest. I have been eating it for at least 25 years, and my conviction about this has never wavered. At all. Ever. I moved back to CT from Portland, OR about 2 1/2 years ago (lived there for about 5) and Dr. Mike's was prominent on the list of reasons I moved back. Portland is a food town, and nothing there is in the remote vicinity of Dr. Mike's. Salt and Straw, which has lines of customers around the corner in Portland, is NOTHING compared to Dr. Mike's. I just wish the new owner would pry the original recipe for blueberry ice cream from Robert Allison because Robert Allison changed it a few years before he sold and it is a pale shadow of its former greatness. The original blueberry was maybe the best thing I've ever eaten. But all the core flavors and many of the experimental new flavors are just phenomenal. Best ice cream on the planet.“
