“Ashley's is terrific. Very friendly, fast, and clean, but also I am allergic to nuts. I was asking about contamination, and though they use different/new scoops for each tub, the worker said he'd go and get my pumpkin ice cream from a fresh tub in the back, which he did.It tasted great, too!“

“I enjoyed everything about Billy's Old Fashioned Ice Cream. My husband grew up in the area, this was my first time.The decor super cute with a working model train going around on the track.No one was yet at the ice cream counter but a nice girl / women came over right away we had no wait.Our order was two sundaes. My sundae was coffee carmel expresso with peanut sauce, whipped cream, cherry, and chocolate sprinkles. The 2nd sundae my husband's usual the classic vanilla ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, and crushed oreos.One thing I noticed about Billy's that was done differently which I enjoyed our chosen sauces were through out our sundaes. Several places I have been to for ice cream the sauce is either just on top of the ice cream or over the whipped cream. Good technique Billy's.“

Scoopy's Ice Cream Ice Cream Shop • $
252 Main St, Wallingford - 7.95 miles

“This is a lovely little new ice cream shop in the Yalesville section of Wallingford. The ship is brightly lit with typical tables inside and out. The summer time outdoor seating attracts bees which takes away from the experience if anyone in your party is scared of or allergic to bees. The flavors are yummy, brightly colored when appropriate and the fixin's selection is good. No freezer burnt experiences yet. Outside the scoop shop, a few doors down, you can find a koi pond, water display. Not sure if it's seasonal but the kids liked it. If tables are dirty it's due to inconsiderate customers and the crowds.Parking: Lots of spots, just be sure to look around you when backing up in a busy lot.Kid-friendliness: Kids approved.Wheelchair accessibility: Stroller friendly.“

“If it was summer and not February, Ashley's Ice Cream typically has a long line of patrons waiting to get their tasty treat. I walked inside to find three employees ready to serve, and no one else waiting. They offered samples. I tried Nutella Chip, and immediately knew that's what I'd be getting. My friend and I shared a cup of Banana and Nutella Chip. This was for sure a very generous portion. Both of the flavors were creamy, flavorful and so true to their names. The Nutella Chip had that authentic spoonful of Nutella taste, with tiny chocolate chips throughout. The banana was the sweet but mild banana flavor. The walls were adorned with pictures of pups and humans enjoying Ashley's Ice Cream! Needless to say we could be added to their wall of love! The ice cream was delicious, creamy and plenty of it for us both to enjoy!“

“Sweet Claude's is a great ice cream spot in Cheshire! They recently moved from their location on Route 10 to a building on West Main St. (part of the Ball & Socket Arts building) and I visited them at their new location recently. While the inside looks different, they still have the same great homemade ice cream!I ordered the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in a waffle cone and it was excellent. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. The new location seems to have more parking than the old one, and more benches to sit.Make sure you add Sweet Claude's to the list for your CT ice cream tour this summer!“

“Dip top is your standard ice cream place, walk in, get ice cream, and go outside to enjoy it! The service is delectable not to mention their wide range of flavors, soft serve, dip, and many flavors of hard ice cream that if I were to list I would still be writing tomorrow! As there is no seating inside, you really have to depend on the weather to have a good vibe while enjoying your ice cream, but nevertheless they have very nice benches outside on their own private little lawn, with a generous amount of garbage cans you'll hands with never get drenched in melted ice cream if you do dare to throw away the delicacy that is dip top ice cream!“

“THE BEST ICE CREAM EVER!!!!! Literally ruined ice cream living in nyc I now am obsessed with Ashley's. Especially their blackberry ice cream flavor. And I don't even like blackberries but this is my new favorite flavor. You have to try it. It's delicious creamy and so so addicting. Defintely get a milkshake in my opinion thats the best way to experience it. I literally sometimes get 2. My one feedback is the staff is usually teenagers who hate their job and aren't very nice. I've been working since I was 16 and Defintely never had attitude but they do. But it's worth it for the ice cream. This spot is my favorite still because it has the outdoor seating available across from the green it's the cutest.Vegetarian options: It's all vegetarian!Dietary restrictions: Dairy heavy be prepared to pay the priceParking: It's right across the green so parking is difficultKid-friendliness: Perfect for kids!Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of space for your wheel chair !“

It was so fresh and well made. Absolutely delicious. The tostadas were fire! So was the corn but those Churros!!! Honey. Let me tell you. THE BEST THING IVE EVER HAD! Get the caramel. I’m sure they’re all good but we got the caramel. It was like a warm custard inside of the churro. I thought it was gonna just be a sauce you dipped it in. They were excellent!!!!! I have a burrito I’m saving for later but I have no doubt it’s gonna be magic. Don’t sleep on this spot. It’s 100% worth it and the prices were beyond fare. Oh we also got tacos. I didn’t eat those but my man. Did. He loved them!!! Definitely go! And go now before they get so popular you can’t get in! Also, it needs to be mentioned that the customer service was outstanding. They were so kind and patient. Helpful. And all with a smile. I’mTelling you. Next big thing in Wallingford ??“

Delicious espresso, brilliant gelato, and amazing special occasion chocolates for the certain person in your life who deserves them. The owner and staff have always been the kindest and most thoughtful, wonderful people. Many times I chatted with Darrell about a flavor profile I'd enjoyed in a dessert, only to find he'd engineered a whole batch of gelato in Peach Basil that blew me away. I'm dearly looking forward to their reopening, and I'm grateful to have had the privilege of visiting this local treasure many times.“
