18 Best Ice Cream Shops near Simsbury

“The best I've cream in the area. Their dark chocolate is to die for. They have lots of great uncommon flavors like dulce de leche and GINGER! The ginger was awesome, and the dulce de leche was very good. I can't wait to go back and try other flavors.“

“Deleted my old, negative review from a couple years ago to replace it with this one. I believe this was purchased by new ownership a little over a year ago now(?) and the differences from my last visit are substantial. They have the staple froyo flavors and it's very clean inside. I *love* that the topping are self-serve now. I happily dumped a million different things onto my froyo. Great variety of chocolate, gummy candy, fruits, etc. Pricing is on par with most other froyo places locally. Color changing spoons were a fun surprise. My partner and I both loved our treats and will definitely return.“

“Icecream flavors were fun and the scoop size is very generous. We had the black raspberry and charcoal flavors.Wonderful ambience. We went in December and so the decoration was holiday themed, but even otherwise I think the space lends to a relaxing atmosphere.Parking: Parking behind the buildingKid-friendliness: Plenty room for kids to sit around“

“Fantastic ice cream. Very popular. They did an amazing job on the remodeling of this business. They added beauty to the town. These are the kinds of businesses that the town needs. We appreciate them being here. People come from all over to get their ice cream.“

“There’s really nothing negative I could ever say about Rita’s. Specifically this location has some of the best service I experienced, especially for a chain eatery. Love coming here, too bad it wasn’t open year around! Yet, again, if it was I think I’d be 1000lbs because I come so often!!! These kids deserve a raise for how outstanding they treat their customers!!!“

“Friendly's is wonderful and this location has great food and service. Love their breakfast and of course their ice cream. The Avon location I have gone to since the 90s (when Blockbuster was next door) and am so glad this location is alive and well!“

“Harvey and co are a great bunch and offer high quality food and coffee to match! Especially during these winter months, there's nothing quite as sooth as their spicy mocha to start the morning.Their sandwiches, whether they are for breakfast or lunch, are phenomenal and always made with fresh baked bread and bagels. You always get your money's worth! For the last two years, I've been going to their little café pretty frequently. I've even used them for catering for a project at work. Their food and service have consistently remained top notch.“

“Bloom Hill Farm - Ice Cream is a fairly large farm that serves some of the best tasting ice cream. There is a pretty wide selection of flavors available.My experience at this place was wonderful. I went there with a few friends on a hot day. I had a raspberry sorbet, and it was delicious.I recommend this place.“

“Visited Clark Farms for a Cider tasting with a group of friends and family on 11/4. Had such a great time from how they accommodated us for our group.Great hospitality from all the staff; from the cider tasting to the wagon ride around the farm. We had such a great time. Thank you Zach and staff. Will be visiting again. Thanks Donna“

“Overall it would probably be 4.5 stars but lets just round it up. It's located in petals and paws, but has a separate window outside for orders and serving. They have interesting flavors including alcoholic ones too, which unfortunately I wasn't able to try. I did try the ginger, maple walnut, and chocolate hazelnut. I hoped for stronger maple and chocolate flavors, but still were solid flavors. Ginger was stronger and well balanced, though it's definitely be for a day with specific cravings or if you really love ginger! There are some seating outside. You can also browse the store while enjoying the ice cream. There are quarts and packaged ice cream sandwiches for sale as well! It's a little out of the way to come to the actual store, but I'll be picking up their icecream from grocery stores more often.“

“I recently purchased my grandsons 10th birthday cake here. He wanted cookies and cream ice cream with yellow cake in the center. The staff uses pound cake and the cake was just delicious. Can't thank you enough. We will definitely return. We love Carvel!“

“8.11.23 To play mini golf, it's any form of payment, but the ice cream is cash only. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The Mini golf venue was beautiful and lots of fun because some of the holes were "easy". The ice cream was affordable and yummy.“

“We were craving ice cream and decided to check this place out. I read some good reviews but missed the tip to try out their Graham Central Station, oh well, next time! I had the Heath bar crunch on a cone and it was delicious. Three scoops that were nicley plopped together on the cone. The best part is getting to the cone in my opinion. There is a picnic table outside for those wamer days; I'm sure they will need more of them. There were plenty of seating inside. The parking lot was pretty packed but we found a couple of spots open. The service was quick and friendly. A great place for kids too, my toddler loved his scoop of blue ice cream. Overall, a decent spot to get that sweetheart tooth satisfied.“

“I came her years ago (pre-COVID) and enjoyed the novelty. Brought my family today because they wanted to try it. Realize that it’s not a quick experience. Even without a line ahead of you, they are making the ice cream right in front of you. Cute and somewhat fun for the kids but not for someone who just wants to get their ice cream and go. Staff was efficient and not unpleasant. Ice cream was enjoyable. Would recommend it more for the experience than the ice cream itself.“

“I love the ice cream from the original Frisbie's Diary Barn. So happy to see a location in Parkville market. Ice cream had the same nice quality from their original location. Flavors are limited though. Even the ones shown in the menu were not available in the freezer. I had a 3 scoop. Blue devil cookie monster was my favorite. Salted caramel had pecan it, which was a nice twist. Raspberry cheesecake was ok.“

“The restaurant is located inside Parkville Market. If you're not familiar with Parkville Market, it's a market filled with numerous restaurant. Cool right. Parking is great. Pay attention for the Parkville at the entrance of the packing lot or you'll miss it! There's plenty of space but expect to park a little further during lunch and busy hours. While dining at Meltdown he owner came out and hit us with a major surprise! Sno N Dough(which was formerly opened but closed)was back! If you're not familiar with Sno N Dough they served sweet treats like snowcones and fried dough, Louisiana style. He is the owner of both. I have to say this totally made my day! I went right on down to get me one lol. They used to be opened right next door to Meltdown. Now theyre all the way at the other endcant make it to a carnival, no problem lol. Their fried dough is out of this world. So good i didnt get a pic lol. The difference between their snowcones and traditional is that theirs are topped with Sweet condensed milk. Baybeeee before you jugde, try it and i promise youll like it. Now i get it all through my snowcone! Highly recommend and would come again! So happy they're back!!!!“

“Really good milkshake. Mad at myself for driving by without stopping to check the place out for 20+ years. Don't be like me, stop in and try them out!Edit 2024:AC Peterson please course correct.Disappointed, milkshake was still great but very today visit showed limited effort or complacency from staff.Many tables uncleared/unbused by staff, long waits for service, staff clothing was worn or stained. Dirty paper towels on floor by counter.Please do better.“
