With nineteen years of living in Connecticut under my belt, I have tried just about all the greatest and best ice cream the nutmeg state has to offer, (which is definitely plenty to satisfy every sweet tooth).
In no particular order, here are a handful of must-visit ice cream stands perfect for any Connecticut day trip!
1. Jem's Garden of South Windsor
2. A.C. Peterson Farms Restaurant of West Hartford
3. UConn Dairy Bar of Storrs
4. Mortenson Dairy Ice Cream of Newington
5. Buttonwood Farm Ice Cream of Griswold
6. Salem Valley Farms Ice Cream of Salem
7. Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream in Mystic
8. Harry's Place of Colchester
And if you want to try venturing out of CT....
9. Brickley's Ice Cream of Narragansett, RI
Or if you want to try for a more "mainstream" ice cream establishment in CT...
10. MILKCRAFT of Fairfield and West Hartford
As national ice cream month comes to a close in the next couple weeks, remember to check off and check out every unique ice cream establishment on your list!
Because you really can't eat enough ice cream, right?
