13 Best Ice Cream Shops near Old Lyme

“Great place for breakfast, whether you carry away or eat it there. They open at 6:30 a.m., and prepare the food super fast. The breakfast sandwiches are fantastic, with fresh ingredients including buttery brioche rolls if you want to indulge.

Extremely friendly service.“

“Chelsea and Dave are wonderful owners. They really take time to know their customers and make sure they are happy. I have celiac disease so they are very good when it comes to helping with what I can and can't eat. All their Italian ice are gluten free and and soft serve ice cream is as well. Great people great place. Oh and they also have pup cups which my dog gives 2 paws up :)“

“Just tried the vegan chocolate and vegan lemon blueberry. May I just say they were both outstanding...creamy, rich and delicious. Well done Honeycone Cream Co. 🥰 I will definitely be a repeat customer. Husband had a vanilla milkshake and he said it was really good.“

“Very BEST Dairy Queen in the whole world!!!! ❤️🍦❤️“

“Outstanding experience! Very clean, renovated room with gas fireplace, four poster bead, comfortable seating, and spacious bathroom! Terrific location near center of Old Saybrook. Easy walk through the town. Really appreciated daily gift certificate to Mirsina's for breakfast.“

“I had my first Diary Queen ice cream at the Niantic branch, the heath cup-achino - it had caramel, a chocolate fudge and whippy ice cream. (I can’t remember the exact name. I will definitely have it again and take a photo next time!) It was a sundae. Huge portions. I shared mine with my other half. There was a long queue as everyone was there after the Memorial Parade. I didn’t mind waiting. There’s lots of car parking space outside. It was a take away. The only thing I was sad about was there was no coffee ice cream on the menu. I get that this place is for children, the menu was huge. You don’t want children bouncing off the walls, but adults love ice cream too.“

“Wonderful customer service, loved the sundae and small ice cream even bought a shirt and the lady at the register took the time to find my size in the back.“

“We have been coming here for several years. The kids always have a great time! The staff does a super job of setting up for the festivities. During the summer the splash pad is a big hit. Love that you can bring in your own food. It’s a great and easy place to take the young ones.“

“Best ice cream around“

“It’s the best Candy Store“

“Belgian and Swiss Chocolates, coffee, ice cream and gifts. Really, you had me at “chocolate” 😋.“
