This place is cute and next to the bridge. There is finally a place that has 3 nondairy choices for me to choose. We asked them what kind of substitute they use, and I think they said oat milk and coconut milk mixed together.

I am writing this review as I sit inside this icecream parlour. My child has a severe nut allergy (epi pen child). We asked for a new scoop and if they could get it from a new container. The server seemed new or confused and...his colleague intervened and told us that all the icecream can be contaminated as it is made in the same area and they can use a clean scoop but even the scoop is not guaranteed as it will just be a rinse. They have lots of new icecream pots in the back but they were not willing to accommodate a child with an allergy. At this point three servers all came to the counter to group up. It was weird and uncalled for. Defensive. My husband and I looked at each other and said forget it. We left the scoop the confused server had made us (and also had spoken over and breathed into). We paid for our other sons icecream and as I sat with my other child who was quiet and upset, my husband paid for one childs icecream and came over to tell us that the manager came from the back of the store to tell us that she would get us a new scoop from a new tub. My kid was uplifted and he had his icecream. Thank goodness for a decent and kind manager. It was a simple thing to do to ensure a child didn't experience anaphylactic shock. The servers couldn't give a rats backside about the customers. They appear miserable and sour to serve. It's an awful front face for an ice cream spot. We felt extremely unwelcomed. Also...if you have a nut allergy, please be careful. You may see small broken peanut pieces on the counter where you order with other toppings. This is NOT an allergy friendly spot. I think we just lucked out with a nice manager. I won't visit again and will not recommend to my CT, MA or NY friends and family.More

Visiting from Indiana and wow I wish we had one at home. This was the best ice cream I have ever had!! We tried the cherry amaretto and it was amazing. I wish it would make the journey home so I could share it with...friends and family. I got a latte too and it was yummy but the ice cream is the real star here. We plan to go back again today to try something else before heading home! Staff was very friendly as well and we thought it was reasonably priced.More

Wow! It may seem pricey when first looking at the menu, but it’s definitely worth it! My partner had a malt shake and said it was fantastic and I had a sundae that was one of the best ever! Very generous servings of everything with...CREAMY & smooth ice cream! Can’t wait to go back.More

This place is a rip off. Granted their ice cream is delicious but their scoops a tiny. A two scoop cup at $6.25 is the size of a Kiddie cup at most ice cream establishments. A

If Mystic Pizza is a slice of heaven, this ice cream is a bowl of heaven! Seriously so good. Go - you won’t regret it. (I got the Mystic Mud - better than Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked.)

The name of this ice cream shop doesn't lie--it's practically on the drawbridge in downtown Mystic. The location is great, but it wouldn't be worth much if the ice cream didn't deliver. Many delicious flavors to choose from... so choose more than one!

Wow! That is rich and creamy ice cream. I’m a Vanilla fanatic and the Vanilla dished (coned) out here is as good as it gets. The remaining 5 members of my family were also totally impressed with their various flavors of yummy ice cream. The...kids licked out every last drop from their cones and cups. My single scoop cone was more like a scoop and a half and I didn’t lunch after consuming my treat. They are a bit expensive but, as the old adage goes, “you get what you pay for.”More
