I got the salted caramel cashew ice cream. Very creamy and sweet the caramel mixed very well with the ice cream cashews were nice and hard one scoop cost six dollars it's located in a very small shop with other sweets. Overall a nice ice cream shop to go to. I would come back again!

Still the best ice cream in town no doubt. Flavors are fresh and natural. Very friendly staff. A

Great place to get some good ice cream during your Mystic travels. Great spot right next to the drawbridge! My sister is soy and dairy free and she was still able to find something here which was so great! They have a variety of interesting desserts ranging from affogato, milkshakes, coffee and more! I went with their most popular flavor ice cream- mystic mud for a one scoop cup. This was so good! It was chocolate based with pieces of cookie dough, brownie and m&ms - so good! I will definitely be getting that again. (No picture because my pregnant self devoured the entire thing very quickly! Haha) Be sure to check them out!

Our family always stops in here for a treat after shopping and lunch in Mystic. Wife and younger son enjoyed the ice cream and grabbed some homemade goodies to go. I tried the watermelon sorbet which was very good...better than expected. Prices are reasonable for quality.

Cute ice cream parlor just across the drawbridge. They have the classic flavors as well as some originals.
It was a really hot Sunday around 3pm and we didn't experience a long wait, but I can see they had switchback lines set up so I imagine lines are common during peak times.
I took off 1star for 2 reasons:
1. It's definitely on the pricier side $8.50 for a shake
2. All the staff seem to be young high school and college kids, which I'm supportive of, but they could use some adult supervision/additional training. I asked which was thicker, a frappe or a shake (I'm from NJ and can never get it straight) and received an inconclusive answer so I just asked for the thicker one. I saw two of the ladies working on it together. I saw 2 other staff members making 1 smoothie together, the one employee clearly didn't know what she was doing and kept having to stop to add more juice to thin it out. The result probably yielded 3 smoothies for one request.
Sorry no pictures, it was so hot we were on a race against time to eat it before it melted :-D.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jun 26, 2020
Eh, sadly, wasn't worth the hype. Ordered the seagull tracks in shake form and oreo cookie in shake form, each costing $6.60. Was so excited for the seagull tracks, but it just tasted like vanilla ice cream. The oreo cookie was fine though!
Prices were high - a tiny cup of ice cream costs $4.50 ish. Didn't look like a solid scoop could fit in it.
Their straws are not suitable for cold drinks. It was melty and very flimsy by the time I was halfway through my shake. Yuck!
There's 2 hour street parking nearby, but it's a very busy area. Cute area to walk around in, to browse various shops!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Landi L.McDonough, GA05Jul 24, 2023
I got candies nuts and ice cream. I loved the cashews. My son really enjoyed the cookie dough ice cream. Service was good.

This is the spot to be here when the sun goes down. This town is bustling with a bunch of pedestrians and a drawbridge that is a sight to see. Fudge runs at about $4 for 2-inch squared cube. And while no one was in the store when I passed by it during daylight, when I came back just after sunset, the place was crowded with eager chocolatiers in line.

Very quaint. Large selection of candies. Harry Potter stuff is plentiful and there is butterscotch beer in there too (not alcoholic). Came specifically for
Ice cream. Wanted to try drawbridge ice cream but it was closed however this place was very good. I've cream
Selection is homemade but limited. Could have been due the the lateness of our arrival. The best maple walnut ice cream to date. THe birthday cake Ice-Cream very sweet but tasted like ice cream. Black raspberry was also very good. Want to come in the summer and walk around more. Very enjoyable.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 30, 2020
This is a tiny, but very cute, shop with a TON of homemade goodies.
I tried their chocolate chip ice cream and was very impressed. They also have homemade waffle cones, however the one that I tried was stale.
There are a few tables scattered around the inside, and 2 benches outside for seating.
Have all of the classic ice cream flavors, but not much else
