12 Best Ice Cream Shops near Waterford

“This might be some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had in my life. My favorite flavor is dark chocolate raspberry truffle; while that’s a challenge to find just about anywhere, the few places where I have tried a chocolate raspberry flavor has been so mid, but Cowlick’s does it PERFECTLY. I’ve had a few of their other flavors and they’re all excellent. The only downside is they’re quite a bit of a drive from me so I stop in whenever I’m near the shore.10/10“

“Great little chain ice cream shop that makes custom ice cream concoctions while you watch. Great choices. I really like the mud pie mojo. I usually get a "love it" size in a waffle bowl. To be fair, my atmosphere stars are based on my being spoiled and living very close to the shore and enjoying lots of great views. This place isn't in the ghetto or anything. It's just in a big strip Mall complex. I go here fairly regularly and we always enjoy it.“

“Friendly staff and of course, delicious ice cream! I had Cowabunga Crunch!“

“Just heaven. Recipes that haven’t changed in 60 years. Always look forward to my first watermelon“

“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.“

“I live nearby so I'm in there often. The staff has always been helpful, they carry a wide array of different gemstones, beads, and fossils, and prices aren't bad. i bought a beautiful stone I was expecting to be close to a hundred dollars for less than $20. i highly recommend. Side note: The mini golf course is VERY challenging. I was an "age restriction" complainer until I played it. It's very beautiful though.“

“So glad there's a Rita's within 15min from home...been 4 years since I've been to a Rita's and that was in Wind Gap, PA.
Had a KiwiMelon Gelati, then my kids had a cotton candy Gelati and a Blue Raspberry Italian Ice. Rita's doesn't disappoint!“

“good treat for the family“

“We frequent this spot during the summer months and the ice cream is good. Was disappointed last evening though as staff seemed in a hurry and a bit rude. One thing that should be address is the massive spider and bugs above where you stand to wait for your order . A good power wash would be good!! Love the ice cream though“

“Ben & Jerry’s at Mohegan Sun is an absolute must-visit if you’re looking for the perfect sweet treat! We stopped by during our trip and were reminded why Ben & Jerry’s is known for having some of the best ice cream around.

The ice cream was incredibly rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Every scoop was fresh and delicious, with generous portions and plenty of mix-ins. There were so many great flavors to choose from that it was hard to decide which one to get. No matter what you order, you’re in for a treat.

The staff was friendly, patient, and helpful, even with a busy crowd. They served everyone with a smile and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. The shop was clean, organized, and had a fun, welcoming atmosphere.

After spending time at Mohegan Sun, this was the perfect way to end our day. Whether you’re craving classic flavors or something unique, Ben & Jerry’s never disappoints. It was a huge hit with our entire family, and everyone left happy.

If you’re visiting Mohegan Sun, do yourself a favor and stop by Ben & Jerry’s. Fantastic ice cream, friendly service, and a great overall experience. We will definitely be back on our next visit. Five stars all the way!“

“It’s the best Candy Store“
