Sweet Ashley's in East Norwalk, CT is my favorite.

I would vote Tulmeadow #1. Although many of the suggestions here seem amazing. Look forward to trying some of them. Tulmeadow does raise grass-fed beef (so if you are a vegetarian bypassing TMF would be understandable). If not don't let the Negative Nancy or Debbie Downer type of chick stop you from enjoying the great ice cream. I recommend the Coconut w/Chocolate Covered Almonds.

Welcome to the best ice cream in the United States of America!

Sit on a little sack of hay and listen to the cows "moo Moo" across the street!

Enjoy!

So on the first page of this thread, it's "Listen to the cows "moo moo" across the street!" and now, 3 pages later we get another recommendation for the same place with a disclaimer? Give it up, Blue. The ice cream really isn't that great.

We-Li-Kit Ice cream in Abington. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, but it's worth the trip- a hidden gem. Plus they make fresh hot Belgian waffle cones-still hot when you eat it.

So YOU made a post under "bluedoghouse". Maybe you will be smarter for it? Don't be so hypersensitive. I understand the place may not be for everyone because of the grass-fed beef but arent you embarrassed that you are posting under my name? lol

Praline's Southington & I think Wallingford

Libby's Italian Ice, New Haven (right next door to the best pizza in CT)

I second Pralines in Wallingford, there are a whole bunch across the state now. Reeses Nightmare! Chocolate peanut butter ice cream with mini peanut butter cups

2 more stellar scoops yesterday from Rich Farm in Oxford: sweet cream on the top and coffee beneath.

This is not an ice cream establishment per se but Trader Joes has their own brand of great ice cream, and I would nominate the vanilla as best vanilla in Ct., and a half gallon is actually a half gallon unlike most brands. Other favors are good too. Very rich stuff, made for them by a California company.

Cool story bro...I like it.

Hmmm...never heard that about Wentworth's before, and it's disappointing if true.

I haven't been there in years and the only thing I went there for was their peach ice cream, made with fresh local peaches, and only when in season. Didn't note any food coloring in that, and it would kind of run counter to the whole idea of using only fresh peaches.

I definitely have my flavor preferences at each place. For Ashley's it's pumpkin or cinnamon. For Brickley's it's ginger or malted milk balls.

I'm a sucker for good coconut ice cream or gelato wherever I can get it, even better if dark chocolate is also an option and I can do 1/2 and 1/2.

I disagree that gelato is inferior to American ice cream, but I've yet to have gelato in this country that has been as good as about a dozen places I had it Italy, and I have no idea why that is.

Cool story bro...

Do you like coconut cream pie? When I was a kid watching Gilligan's Island...Mary Ann used to make Gilligan coconut cream pie all the time. So as a kid my parents took me to a restaurant called the Pie Plate in Avon and they had coconut cream pie. That was my first true coconut experience. There was no turning back. Now I am addicted to everything coconut especially ice cream.
