“I highly recommend Jennifer's Ice Cream! Not only do they have a large selection of tasty ice creams, but they also have dairy-free Italian Ice for me! Look no further if you're after a yummy treat with a reasonable price tag!“

“This was my first time at Wentworth’s, and I’m so glad a friend recommended it—especially because they offer dog-friendly ice cream! It was my pup’s 8th birthday, and I couldn’t find a place that felt special enough until I heard about Wentworth’s. The team at the counter was amazing—so friendly, helpful, and genuinely excited when they heard it was her big day. My dog devoured her birthday treat (tail wags of approval!), and my mom and I were equally impressed. She had the chocolate chip raspberry and I had the peanut butter Oreo—both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich, creamy, and just hit the spot. We left with full hearts and full stomachs. We’ll definitely be back very soon. Thanks, Wentworth’s, for making our celebration so sweet!“

“Delicious ice cream from a local and highly community oriented source. Kelly and her staff are wonderful and the ice cream is so good!“

“Lovely ice cream store in excellent location.

I pulled off the interstate while traveling to eat lunch at the Brownstone House of Guilford.

As I was leaving, what do I see directly in front of me? You guessed it, ice cream!

And no self-respecting foodie is going to ignore that gastronomical sign of the heavens, right?

Wonderful flavors, I had mint chip in a waffle cone, and an assortment of many other sweet concoctions.

They also make ice cream cakes that are holiday and season themed. I hear that Halloween time is especially enchanting.

Super friendly staff and just what I needed for dessert.“

“I think it’s mentioned that they have the best ice cream in the state, which is definitely the case! The winner for me and my wife is the pumpkin ice cream, only available in the fall. It’s a winner every time, but all their other flavors taste great!“

“Recomendado todo fresco y delicioso 🤤😋“

“Lisa, Kayla and the team were awesome creating 75 ice cream cupcakes for my grandsons 3rd Birthday party. They were decorated perfectly with the Disney Cars theme of Lightening McQueen. The adults were so impressed having something unique and the kids were excited having a Lightening McQueen treat… thank you for adding that special touch to our party.“

“It was my first time going. Very clean. I got welcomed with a smile and got the workers assistant to show me what I needed to do. I will be going back.“

“I love this place. There r so many things in the menu u just wouldn't expect and it's all delicious. You also get big portions. The milkshakes are amazing. I always get takeout just because the seating area is small but it's still very nice.“

“The employees at the North Haven store are always friendly, helpful and fast. I've never had an issue or mix-up with my order and the cookies, as always, are scrumptious. I particularly like their rewards program . Points add up fast and you get frequent and substantial discounts without being constantly bombarded by texts and emails or having to buy a million cookies first.“

“Prior reviews that said this is the best Mexican food on the East Coast aren't lying. Everything has so much flavor! We got the burritos de carnitas and al pastor and both were phenomenal. As were the homemade chips and salsa. And the guy at the counter was very kind. Definitely coming back here next time we're in the area!“

“Popcentric recently came to a back to school event we had. The kids and adults all loved the popsicles! It was a great alternative treat to have.“

“We love DQ blizzards, and this location is our favorite! The employees are always friendly, kind, and fast. We love ordering outside in warm weather. And I just discovered they will decorate their ice cream cakes for free for lots of different occasions. They have a whole book of choices. My daughter chose a soccer field, complete with goals and little figures to go on top. Thanks for all your hard work!“

“Cupcakes are very good. Not too much topping and cake is moist. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend!“

“The burgers they serve here are special and offer unique combinations. The employees bring the food to your table with a smile and are always available to help if needed. They have well kept bathrooms which are private. You can also order regular fries, sweet potato fries, and some chips that are made on site fresh. Not to mention you can order any of those loaded which is to say covered with bacon and cheese as well as a few extra goodies. To end the meal they offer some of the best thick milk shakes with bits of good stuff like Oreos etc in them.“

“If you're ever in the New Haven East Haven area you need to come to Sandpiper restaurant it's directly across the street from the beach and it has an outdoor area with a roof over it so you can sit here even if it's raining and the staff is amazing The food is fantastic too You find it.“

“My family and I have been going here for many years and seems that just lately Friendly's became just another fast food restaurant. Let me explain. I remember when the people working there knew your face sometimes even your favorite meal or ice-cream. Now they sit you down very small talk and it seams like they can't keep there employees. Everytime we go there's a new person there. And don't get me started on the prices it's way out of hand.“

“They made the most beautiful cake for my mom's 99th birthday. Living out-of-state made organizing her birthday party difficult, but Dairy Queen made the cake part go easy. A little late with the review, but huge thanks.“
