43 Best Ice Cream Shops near Southington

“THE place to go for ice cream in the Southington area. The ice cream is absolutely delicious, and there's a pretty good variety from which to choose. Pat's has both soft-serve and regular ice cream, with lots of toppings to add, if that's your thing. Excellent service - Pat is usually there, and he's a lot of fun.

Very highly recommended.“

“Great ice cream. Love this place“

“My 4 year old loves the toppings bar. It’s our family’s choice for a cold treat 🍦“

“I was having a party for my son and a guest was gluten and dairy free and wanted her to have something special too! I had seen this bakery on Facebook and live 5 mins away so it seemed a perfect opportunity to try. I purchased a chocolate zuchinni cake for the little girl and while there I grabbed an Oreo tres leche cake for myself. LET ME TELL YOUUUUUUU!!! That Oreo cake was OUT OF THIS WORLD! I will absolutely be back for treats here and will recommend them to anyone looking for something sweet, whether gluten free or not. Seriously, get here.“

“What an amazing experience!! The cascading waterfalls, scenic walkways, and covered bridges shaded by gorgeous Japanese Maple trees is such a zen mini golf experience. They have something for the whole family including a wooden train and wooden ship play area. There is a beer garden if you want to stop for a cold brew, food, and Italian Ice and ice cream. We had such a great day!“

“We happened to come in on a busy night. Tina was our server. Her and the Manager were professional and handled the crowd with no problem. All our ice creams were perfect and it was still a pleasant environment even though every booth was full! Will definitely come back again“

“The food was AMAZING! very flavourful. The service was great. Everyone was very attentive and made sure we was taken care of. Thank you . We can't wait to go back. Let's not forget the fresh Lemmon squeezed lemonade ?. MUST VISIT!“

“service %100 Perfect Good Price and the quality of the products“

“Tried this place for the first time last night, and it was delicious! I had the Dubai Chocolate flavor — you taste pistachio in one bite, coconut in the next, and chocolate in another — a perfect blend of flavors, yum!! My husband had the banana flavor and loved it. Generous portions & reasonable prices Also shoutout to the young employees! We were there at 9:15 pm and it was still busy, but all the staff were smiling & positive & friendly! 😊 Cute old-fashioned decor inside, a few benches outside. Will definitely be back!“

“A nice visit opening day followed by ice cream. The grounds were kept pretty well and even with it being pretty busy things moved well. An average sized lot with a single course of 18 holes. The holes were all fairly simple in design. But less frustration from my son thanks to that. We had a great time. A nice family owned spot.“

“First time visitor, the selection is great and the service was excellent. They have custom cakes, dog friendly treats, and generous portions. Ice cream tasted fresh and the area was clean. Would definitely come by again when craving ice cream in the Kensington area!“

“Thank you so much for making our end of the school year and start of summer event in the neighborhood a great success!! We can’t say thank you enough to Dave for making our night so memorable. He took all the precautions to make a socially distant outdoor party comfortable, safe and seamless for our guests. Everyone enjoyed a great yummy treat! Nothing like Rita’s.“

“Food is good like the new menu“

“A little pricey, but the high quality of the ice cream is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend Praline's over several other local shops for that very reason. We will be back A LOT lol Ice Cream is my weakness and now I need to try every flavor 😋 Great timing as summer is coming quickly!!“

“All I can say about Ryders ICE Cream is YAHOOOOO, YEAA, YUM YUM, LETS GO!“

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

“I recently tried the chicken parm grinder at Mad River Creamery & Deli, and it was a really solid choice. The chicken cutlet was nicely breaded, tender, and held up well under the sauce. The marinara was flavorful — tangy with a hint of sweetness — and there was a generous amount of melted cheese that pulled everything together. The bread was fresh and hearty with a nice toasted soft crunch to it , the kind of roll that didn’t get soggy after a few bites, which made the sandwich feel substantial but balanced. I liked that there was a good ratio of chicken to sauce to bread. Service was friendly and efficient, owner welcomed us and provided free ice cream samples as we waited for our grinders ( husband got the steak and cheese for his 3rd time ) being a deli, the portion felt more like a meal than a quick snack. The atmosphere at Mad River Creamery & Deli is welcoming — cozy and laid-back, perfect for grabbing a bit with a friend (or after getting some ice cream). Already know what I want when I return . Thanks again !“

Crumbl Cookies is excellent! The cookies are always fresh, soft, and full of flavor. I love how they have different flavors every week, and every cookie I’ve tried has been amazing. The staff is friendly, the store is clean, and the desserts are definitely worth it. Great experience overall — highly recommend!“

“Lisa, Kayla and the team were awesome creating 75 ice cream cupcakes for my grandsons 3rd Birthday party. They were decorated perfectly with the Disney Cars theme of Lightening McQueen. The adults were so impressed having something unique and the kids were excited having a Lightening McQueen treat… thank you for adding that special touch to our party.“

“Prior reviews that said this is the best Mexican food on the East Coast aren't lying. Everything has so much flavor! We got the burritos de carnitas and al pastor and both were phenomenal. As were the homemade chips and salsa. And the guy at the counter was very kind. Definitely coming back here next time we're in the area!“

“Cupcakes are very good. Not too much topping and cake is moist. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend!“

“I'm new in the Bristol area. One day I decided to come eat at friendlys and ever since I've been coming here. They are friendly here, the food is always fresh, neatly served and delicious. I love it and so does my 9 year old daughter. I'd recommend friedlys to others any day , and I do actually. My niece comes here too now with me all the time

Vegetarian options: I see they have broccoli and beef bites I haven't tried the new item yet but I'm sooo looking forward to it ! Yummy

Parking: Parking is free and enough space

Kid-friendliness: The kids love it. They are kind, smile and laugh with the kids and they serve them what the kids ask for. It's so sweet

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchairs and enough room space to move around.“

“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“

“Clean and comfortable place. Yogurt was good. Tons of toppings. You pay by the weight. Was kinda pricey for 2 of us....but I'm probably not used to these prices now a days!! If you bring 2 or 3 kids, it would be quite expensive!! Online opening time says 1pm, but door says 2pm. They opened close to 2pm.“

“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...“

“We have been sleeping on these ice cream cupcakes for years, WHY DID I JUST DISCOVER THESE! They have them available for order, or often just in the freezer up front. 11/10, honestly so good! And a great deal! Staff is always lovely as well.“

“I enjoyed this place very much. I have spurts of frozen yogurt fever and luckily, I have found my go to spot in the area. This place had everything I needed and a few things I wanted to try. Prices seem very standard, and the staff are quick, in and out. The parking is plenty, I’ve never had a problem and same goes for the interior, plenty of seats. Diversity in flavors are decent and they have a good amount of toppings for offer.“
