Ice Cream Shops near Old Lyme

“Very good. Best Fried Shrimp I’ve ever had! My onion rings soaked up too much oil though, my dad got the curly fries with his meal and those came out very good. Clam chowder was very good too, not the best I’ve ever had, but a very good bowl! I think they have a decent lobster roll, my brother got it and enjoyed it, but it looked like it should have had more lobster for a $35 roll. Prices are out of control over the past few years, but i understand owners have to cover costs. Overall food was good. Very friendly staff and clean picnic tables. Ice cream was great as well. Would stop again next time I’m back in Old Lyme.“

“When we left Rocky Neck after a long, hot day at the beach, naturally one child wanted to stop for Italian ice and the other wanted to stop for ice cream. We found the perfect solution at the Scoop Shop. It's just minutes from Rocky Neck and has lots of unique ice cream flavors, soft serve ice cream, AND Italian ice. It also carries a number of different convenience store items such as soda and candy. Something for everyone - and friendly service too.“

“Great atmosphere and awesome soft serve, kids love it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“This is the cutest shop in downtown Essex. They have incredible choices of ice cream that are delicious. I come in regularly. I was very impressed by the employee Gabby who was able to manage a big crowd on her own. She was friendly to all her customers and kept the line moving at a good speed.“

“It’s the best Candy Store“

“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.“

“Sweet Lunas is the best, most delicious frozen yogurt, so many great flavors and incredible array of toppings anywhere! The shop is super clean with a great staff and the owner is the nicest person! If you haven't been get over there, you're missing out!

Kid-friendliness: Sweet Lunas loves kids and the kids LOVE Sweet Lunas!“

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