20 Best Ice Cream Shops near Stonington

“Twisters Ice Cream was the perfect dessert stop after burgers next door at Sea View Snack Bar 😊

The soft serve was simple classic American ice cream, but honestly really delicious. Even on a cold rainy day, it was still such a fun treat.

Service was super fast, although not especially friendly to kids.

Still, the ice cream itself was excellent and definitely worth stopping for.“

“We love Mel’s! They support the community and always have specials for the holidays and special occasions. I love that they have nondairy options as well! Our go to is the peanut butter daze sundae 🧡“

“Passing through and checked out their ice cream and gelato! Enjoyed that, and appreciated the suggestion to go to Watch Hill. Thanks!“

“Pompelmo Gelato was a fantastic field trip! Melanie welcomed our small homeschool group to the shop and shared about her journey between Argentina and Italy, her achievements and awards, some of the beautiful culture around gelato, how it’s made, what separates it from ice cream, what inspires her, and how she aims to keep its magic with ever changing daily flavors. What a beautiful place. She generously let us tour the shop on her day off as well as sample multiple flavors of gelato. All delicious! She’s lovely to listen to and holds an abundance of story and information. This is the most delicious field trip I’ve ever been on. It truly felt magical! Pompelmo Gelato is a treasure!“

“The fresh homemade ice cream is bursting with flavor. You can get a sugar cone, regular cone or a cup or delicious homemade waffle cone with your favorite topping and flavor of ice cream. They also have dairy free flavors that are very good. The prices are reasonable and staff are very friendly. Children can can color, and play with a musical ice cream toy and make their own ice creM cones. There is outdoor seating. They also have fresh italian ice.“

“Quick drive through service. great food, friendly employees.“

“Best Ice Cream. Chocolate was delicious. Husband had Rum Raisin, loved it“

“The staff was amazing and the ice cream was mind blowing. Of all the local, handmade ice cream shops I've visited, this one is by far the best! Chocolate was amazing and the selection was extensive! A must if you're ever in downtown Mystic!!“

“Love Mystic Park ice cream !“

“good treat for the family“

“Love the Flavors and the Novelty of This Gem! So Sad You're Closing for the Season in October! Don't know bout anyone else but I Eat Ice Cream All Year Long!“

“Went to Gino’s this weekend with a few friends! Everyone enjoyed themselves and the food was amazing! Lauren was our waitress she was also amazing very attentive and down to earth! We will all absolutely be back soon!“

“You're in Watch Hill, so expect it'll be pricey. And there is often wait and a chaotic line. There are usually 4 windows but often there's is no single line, you just kind of grab a spot behind whatever window is open. The lobster roll is worth every penny. The fries are the crispiest. Both so good. The DF coconut mango ice cream was good but mostly coconut, not even a hint of mango. I don't think I took any food pictures though!“

“Experienced dulcet de leche dazzled sundae for first time in Hollywood, FL. Was best sundae this 67 year old has ever had. Took detour to Foxwoods on trip from Boston to Albany NY.

Sundae did not disappoint... well worth the trip and detour“

“Went 15 mins before closing tonight and was a little nervous that the staff would be annoyed, but the blonde girl working was so kind, welcoming, patient and informative. Her recommendations and everything else were delicious 😋 Will definitely go back!“

“We had a fair experience here. Quick, efficient service for some good ice cream. The hot fudge came out HOT, which was enjoyable. Not much of a line when we visited today, but I'd return to try more flavors. We liked the Milky Way & Lavender flavors.“

“What a great place!!! I had sautéed portobello mushroom spinach and cheese sandwich which was delicious. They also had something I’ve never seen fluffernutter ice cream which was amazingly delicious. The place was adorable with the soda counter brought back lots of good memories. I love the sign that said no WiFi talk to someone :)“

“Great for dessert or breakfast waffles!“

“Westerly Dels went above and beyond for my little girl’s birthday. It is her favorite treat (nut allergic so one of the very few treats we can get that we don’t make ourselves). A gallon of Dels served her entire class (16) the mini size and and 4 adults a small, for only $25. They wrote happy birthday Lora on the cap, gave her a shovel, and balloons. Way more than I expected and it made both of our days. Thanks again!“

“05.25.25- Written Review: 'Big Al's Reel Reviews' EP.108 Ft. Apathy Sea Swirl 👍🏾 Mystic, CT Sea Swirl is an Amazingly Dope spot located in Mystic, CT! There is only outdoor seating so this spot recently reopened on April 25th for the Season. This afternoon my Brother AP, his children & I dropped into Sea Swirl to find out if they are serving up Good Lobster Rolls and I also had to try out one of their new "Lobster Cones". I ordered and reviewed: 1. Lobster Bisque Cone $13.99 💣 2. Hot Lobster Roll $28.99 👍🏾 I started with the Lobster Bisque Cone and enjoyed every delicious spoonful! The Lobster Cone is similar to a bread bowl with Lobster Bisque but the cone tastes like a croissant. So good! I gave it a Thumbs up but in hindsight it really deserved a bomb 💣 because it was Top Notch! Next I dove into the Lobster roll. First off, the price of the Lobster Roll is lower than most spots and it was absolutely delicious! I loved it and it earned a Thumbs👍🏾 I will drop into Sea Swirl for Lobster Rolls and Lobster Cones all summer long because that spot is Dope! I highly recommend this spot to my friends and family so hurry up and get your a** down there and check them out! Make sure to tell em', 'Big Al Mayo sent you' ☝🏾💣 'See you on the Rebound Peace out' ☝🏾❤️ -Big Al Mayo“
