“They are taking great precautions due to covid. Nice and clean. My grandchildren love it. ❤“

“I am not typically an ice cream girl… I go along for the ride… but lavender honey did not go to waste nor disappoint!! Beyond delicious and great staff!“

“Very friendly and what a great couple to host we hired them for our town football team as a pregame treat and their ice cream was phenomenal!!!! Highly recommend, looking forward to booking for my personal use in the near future. Ice cream is my weakness and they definitely pass the test .10/10“

“Creamy rich ice cream. Great portions. Great prices. Cute place to enjoy. Dog friendly. Kiddie size is more than enough for an adult. Smalls are huge! But I wish they would change up their flavors. Non chocolate, peanut butter and fruit types are bland and need a flavor immersion pop. The menu needs to add more flavors or change them up.“

“Charming atmosphere and great owners/staff! Creamy homemade ice cream that’s well worth the trip! Great community supporter also.“

“Delicious 😋
The person working was very helpful & nice. I asked if they make the ice cream and she said yes, they make it at another locstion and bring it there. I got a 2 scoop Sunday with toasted almond & maple walnut ice cream, hot fudge, and real whipped cream.
There are many toppings to choose from.
They whip the whipped cream for your order, next time I'll ask for it without sugar because it was too sweet, but still good.
I took half of it home for later 👍🍨🍦
They also have cakes & pies & other types of treats.
Very good 🍨“

“large assortment of flavors including seasonal ones.“

“This place is an absolute find!!! Love the ice cream absolutely delicious 😋 😍 we will definitely be back. Loved the Strawberry Banana. Dubai Chocolate, and Mango Ice cream“

“Pleasant staff and Excellent ice cream. Many flavors and they are all equally good. Highly recommend!!!“

“The girl that was working today 17/ September 2025, at 6:30pm was so nice and kind to me, she made my first experience at a Ben and Jerry’s very good and I plan to come back! She deserves a raise and she’s very sweet and was very quick with making my order, she was also very patient when I asked for a few samples since I’d never been here before!! 10/10“

“Chicken wings are DELICIOUS!! Definitely will eat here again.“

“Great place to eat ice cream with your family ❤️“

“The snoballs are delicious! Love having a wide variety of non-dairy options. I tried the Piccadilly, the sour apple, and the Berry Nerdy, all very tasty!“

“When ever I want some delicious and healthy juices I always thing of Chrissy. I buy bulk but they never last too long I drink most of it in no time. It’s just that delicious 😋 especially the Mango Pineapple one of my favorites“

“I recently moved to Hartford not too long ago from Manchester, and this is the best Rita’s I’ve ever ordered from. Though I’ve never been in the store myself yet, they have been super accommodating and sweet through DoorDash. The management team is very kind! If they don’t have something they will let me know as soon as I place the order. All in all, please order from them. You won’t regret it.“

“So many choices , not enough days in the summer“

“Legendary!! Forever a Manchester staple! Recently on their website and can’t believe everything that they have to offer: weddings, parties, graduations desserts in bulk …you can always get some of their favorites at Highland Park market in Manchester…I recommend a chipwich …Im sure most people would but also their spumoni slices, so good!“

“Delicious homemade ice cream and friendly service! I think the Cookie Monster is my favorite, or the toasted almond… they are all so good I really can’t decide. Definitely check this place out for a cool sweet treat.“

“Absolutely Great and extremely cute ❤️“

“My experience at LuLu’s is warm; exciting; and informational on many topics. LuLu is soulful; friendly and supportive towards her customers. She creatively designs incentives to save your dollars so you can return for more of her good tasty treats. She is family oriented so bring your clan in for a LuLu experience 😋“

“Spectacular ! Only the very best here folks!“

“Delicious, farm fresh foods! Their ice cream is amazing. I would recommend this place all day, every day!“

“Great small owned business! Ice cream was good and they pile it on! Variety of toppings and the smoothie was Amazing! They have sit down options and the customer service was 10 out 10. Will definitely be returning as it was a nice quick outing with the kiddos and they all enjoyed.“

“Overall, Ben & Jerry’s is a great spot to stop by for a scoop of ice cream! it’s been a staple of W. Hartford Center for many years now, and I’m grateful that it’s maintained such a long-term presence. The staff are always friendly, kind, and very efficient! The price is a little steep, but so is everything in West Hartford these days.

Overall, there’s a good selection of ice cream! I consume only dairy free ice cream, and usually they will have at least 2 to 3 flavors. The selection of dairy ice cream flavors is more expansive, and they truly have something for everyone in terms of taste. Their shakes and smoothies also looked delicious as well!

Unfortunately, the line is usually extremely long in the summer. The last time I was there, in late June, the line stretched all the way out the door. There were only two employees working, and they seemed quite young. They were doing a wonderful job, but it looked like a lot to juggle. In the warmer months, it may be helpful to staff more people due to the sheer volume.

I wanted to mention something that occurred at my last visit that concerned me. The line was extremely long. The couple in front of us had two medium-large sheepdogs. The dogs were extremely anxious and nervous being in such a long line and in a small and cramped space. They were clearly not doing well. A staff member kindly asked the couple to bring the dogs outside. They were obviously not service dogs as they had no vest or badge and were clearly not trained to be calm in stressful situations. The couple then proceeded to lie and say they were service animals. The staff dropped it, but I feel that a sign may be helpful for the front door stating service animals only. It was uncomfortable to see these dogs in distress in such a small shop, they were whining and very anxious.

Just wanted to give my feedback! Keep up the good work (-:“

“Not sure why there are so many bad reviews. I’ve been going here for a long time and have always gotten excellent customer service. The smoothies are also very good. Don’t listen to the bad reviews and try this place. You won’t regret it.“

“I love coming here. My go to order is the egg and cheese wrap with peppers and onions and the vegetable wrap. The workers are all very nice, patient, and friendly. I highly recommend them. The taste is fresh, healthy, not salty or anything like that, which is very important to me. Shout out to Axa for waiting after hours for me to collect my order because I was stuck in traffic ❤️“

“Excellent burgers!! Large portions! And the thick cut chips were crunchy and flavorful!!“

“Very nice stop on a hot evening ( :“

“I love how organized they are weather is in person or online orders they make tour order exactly how they look and yes sometimes it be busy and you have to wait a little but they are so kind and make sure that you are satisfied with your order before you walk out the door.“

“The kids love the ice cream. Employees are always attentive and the ice cream cakes are really good.“

“Fantastic treats and amazing service!“

“best fresh vegetables and very good prices. In addition, a very kind, helpful, and honest staff.“

“Nice chillin spot for friends and family. Late night 🍮“

“Treats so good, my friends and I drove 11 hours just to come sample the things we can’t have shipped! Lovely owner as well!“

“probably not no. just entering the establishment their was paper towels all over the place and every surface was sticky, got up to the counter it was well over a half hour in line grabbing our purchase for one bowl I chose the fruity pebbles roll. the quality was very good of the ice cream. behind the line it looked clean but personally I think these young folks that work their need to try and fit some lobby maintenance here and their. I know it's rough sometimes. but those kids definitely were working their butts off every associate their was friendly too. but the entry was unesthetically pleasing.“

“this has been a great way to keep updated with the on goings in town.“

“They are the best!!! Fresh food, super tasty and they are super friendly! I tried the poke bowl multiple times, açaí bowl and dragon fruit bowl. Awesome everytime ❤️“

“My daughter and I go to this Sweet Frog location often as we live in town. We even continued to go during the height of the pandemic because it’s important to support small businesses. I never once complained when they barricaded their public bathrooms during Covid and didn’t allow anyone to use them. Not even when my daughter had an emergency bathroom situation did I complain. We went over to Whole Foods and figured it out. But tonight I felt not wanted there. Their posted hours for Friday state they are open 9:30pm. This is untrue they are open till 9. We arrived after an evening at the park around 8:40pm (plenty of time right). I was met with “Just so you know we’re closing in a minute”. No “Hi” no “Welcome to Sweet Frog”. I actually turned to the young man and said “I’m sorry?”. Because I was so taken back at the odd greeting I received. It was so cold and rude. I have no issues with a business letting me know it’s almost time to close. I won’t even enter a business super close to closing especially if I don’t believe I will be able to get out in time. From the reviews below this seems to be the norm here now. I have to say the Froyo is always good and always fresh and I’ve never had a problem with their products. It is expensive and they are back to weighing the cups again so just be prepared for at least $10-$12 for two ice creams at minimum.“

“Matt and Jonah know how to put a chili dog together. Great service. Quality food for the price.“

“Milkcraft is such a fun and delicious spot for ice cream! The strawberry flavor was really good — fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. The presentation makes it extra special, and you can tell the ice cream is made with care. A perfect place to treat yourself to something unique and tasty. Highly recommend!“

“Rafael at the Newington location was great it was my first time there he was super helpful and the burger and fries were great the location was nice and clean great experience will be going again 5 stars“

“Nice little place 8 tables or so outside.. My grandson and I shared a medium sundae as a treat price is right ice cream was great approved by my grandson...“

“great service, friendly, food was delicious!“

“Very clean and friendly staff. Food and ice cream was delicious and there is a lot of seating both inside and outside. It was incredibly nice to interact with the cashiers and have them be in a good mood, smiling. I hope management treats them well, as it was such a nice visit!“
