These 11 Ice Cream Shops in Connecticut Will Make Your Sweet Tooth Go CRAZY

I'm not talking about frozen yogurt here.  I'm talking about the real deal!  While ice cream as we know it today has been around for hundreds of years, it used to be a treat reserved for the elite. Now ice cream is a staple of warm sunny days and getting through the blues.  But do you know where to go for a super tasty scoop of frozen awesomeness? Here are some great places to start!

1. Divine Treasures - Manchester

This chocolate and ice cream shop offers vegan options and various types of dipped cones.

2. Popeye's Ice Cream Shoppe - Morris

Swirled ice cream options mean you don't have to settle for having sprinkles only on top.

3. Tulmeadow Farm - Simsbury

This is a favorite for me because I love malt options. Plus they have cool flavors like dulce de leche.

4. Quiet Corner Creamery - Putnam

Try the cheesecake flavor in one of these oversized waffle cones and you will be in heaven!

5. Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream - Mystic

There really is a drawbridge and the views are immaculate. Their slogan is "we make the best" and they don't disappoint.

6. Ferris Acres Creamery - Newtown

This dairy farm of distinction produces some rich flavors of ice cream. But they don't open until the end of March.

7. We-Li-Kit Ice Cream - Pomfret

Enjoy a stroll around the charming farm property while you enjoy your dessert.

8. Buttonwood Farms Ice Cream - Griswold

Fresh made waffle cones and a field of sunflowers makes this place seem like something out of a dream. But believe me, the ice cream is real.

9. Rich Farm Ice Cream Shop - Oxford

Another seasonal spot, this shop offers over-sized scoops and unique flavors that will satisfy your whole family.

10. Scottie's Frozen Custard - Colchester

Again, this place is seasonal. Connecticut really knows how to do summer business. Not only is the ice cream incredible, but everything on the menu packs a punch.

11. Collins Creamery - Enfield

Their low fat sugar free menu will help you feel less guilty about ordering an extra scoop without having to lose out on great flavor.

I will always be a sucker for chocolate chip cookie dough! Have you enjoyed your favorite flavor at any of these hot spots?
