8 Best Ice Cream Shops near Oakdale

“Take my money (which they happily did). We were in the area for a family vacation and felt like we needed a break from the beach. Found this place and so glad we did! There was so much to do and we thoroughly enjoyed all it. Huge dinosaurs and was pretty educational. There were additional activities, like a train, putt putt, bike riding, etc. Beyond that, there was also a maze, an AMAZING splash pad and great playground with obstacles. Easily wore my kid out. Only criticism was how long it took to get through the concessions line. Also, if you plan to do the splash pad, don't forget towel and extra dry clothes! Highly recommend for dinosaur fanatics if in the area, but with how much money we spent, would only take kids that are old enough to truly enjoy it.“

“Been wanting to check out Millie’s, as Millie is my nickname. I got pumpkin ice cream with hot fudge sauce & it was a 10/10. I ordered the $4 kiddie size & it was equivalent to the size of a small at other places. Free parking is available, as well as a seating area.“

“I absolutely love cowslick. There ice cream is so so amazing my favorite is superman and it's so good. I hope they stay open all year around. Because who doesn't eat ice cream in the winter as well? I hope you stay open all year round! I will miss my superman ice cream so much! I love your store and ice cream sooooo much best place ever!!“

“Salem Valley Farms has some of the best ice cream I've had in a while! I recently went and ordered the Pumpkin Pie Sundae, which was SO GOOD! Pumpkin ice cream topped with caramel sauce, graham cracker crumbs, whipped cream, and cinnamon. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. Quick, friendly service. They just have a window to order/pickup, with no indoor seating, but there are picnic tables on the side where you can sit. Overall a great ice cream spot!“

“Line was very long but they worked so fast that we barely had enough time to decide on what to order. They also mate our orders pretty quickly. Place was freezing inside. You can sit inside but they have 3 picnic tables. Parking lot is big and lots of customers stay in their car. Plenty of parking.“

“We were visiting from CA where our local Rita's regularly has six water ice flavors. The New London Rita's shop has 12 flavors! We ordered peach water ice, mango gelati, blue raspberry gelati, and chocolate-vanilla twist frozen custard. Super affordable (less than $25 ) compared to California prices. Friendly service, easy parking, indoor or outdoor seating. Great way to cool off after a hot and humid CT day.“

“I came with my wife yesterday and we had a great experience! The person was very friendly and helpful when I didn’t know what I wanted to order. The employee named Eden made the best banana split I ever had. Will be back soon for another!“

“Clean and friendly environment. Wait staff very helpful and polite. Wait was a little long but the store was busy. Sat near the kitchen and with in 10 seconds of our food finishing, it was on its way to our table. Meals were hot, most, crispy and full of flavor“
