    Sweet cream with dark chocolate on a cone, 2 scoops
    Tricia B.

    The amazing Arethusa ice cream from Bantam is present in New Haven. The shop itself is a little narrow, and has the same black and white design on the floor and walls. Samples are available because they have a fantastic selection. The employees are all focused on their tasks, and what could be a laborious process goes quickly. Their Ice cream is smooth and cool, perfect for a hot day. There isn't much for seating inside but there is an outdoor area with benches a few door down. (It's next to a gift shop)

    Arethusa is a family favorite and it's a place to bring friends visiting from out of town. I love that you can have 2 flavors in a single and that the waffle cones are fresh. There may be a line but it moves quickly and you'll be out eating your ice cream in the heart of New Haven.

    Covid has been over for a while folks. Time to bring back tasting samples.

    The BEST ice cream. it was a moderately long wait but it was worth it. They have cut back on the quantity of flavors and their frozen selections were minimal today. Like many places, they have also raised their prices considerably. However, the quality has not been diminished whatsoever. The chocolate with chocolate chips, literally melted in your mouth and made you happy from the first bite to the last!

    Delicious, high-quality ice cream with great customer service! The atmosphere is wonderful, with cute decorations, and there's a sweet Balouch girl from Iran who provides outstanding service.

    1 scoop -- coffee & sweet cream

    One of the BEST ice cream places I have ever been too, and trust me, I have been to a lot! The ice cream here is soooo smooth and creamy, and you can taste that they use real ingredients to make their flavored ice cream. I got a single scoop w/ coffee and sweet cream ice cream (both popular flavors), and I cannot get over it. Super delicious. The best consistency I have ever had in ice cream. Plus, you can taste the quality espresso they used for their coffee ice cream. It wasn't just a flavoring or instant coffee. I will definitely be back to try more flavors. Fun fact: they sell their own milk and cheese in the fridge section!

    Apparently this is THE place for ice cream in New Haven so we decided to try them out on a hot, humid day after spending some time at the Yale Art Gallery. The place is cute, decorated with photos of cow and farms. It's very clean and well maintained too. The ice cream in itself was pretty good - rich creamy and generous in serving. We got the split scoop of Almond with Toasted Coconut and Cherry with Dark Chocolate Chunks on a waffle cone. The cone was crispy & fantastic and definitely felt fresh. Docking a point cause they don't let you sample before buying. I mean, it's an ice cream shop with seasonal flavours every other month.. how am I to know what I like without trying it out first!?! Such a bummer but solid ice cream otherwise.

    Waffle cone not crunchy

    I came here since saw positive review online, but really disappointed me. The waffle cone is NOT crunchy at all. And I reported to the staffs, she gave me another waffle cone, which is also soft and not crunchy at all. Ice cream is not impressive too, that's why only 1 star left.

    Their ice cream is sooo thick, rich, and creamy. It's more of a grab and go rather than a sit down and chat kinda place, but very clean and cozy interior. Highly recommend!

    Simply the best ice cream. Never a long wait even on a busy summer Saturday. I always get pints from the grocery store so nice to visit when I'm in the neighborhood. I always get a small one scoop, they really give you two of either mint chip or sweet cream. They don't even put in any dye in their mint ice cream, it's just simply the best.

    Sweet cream and chocolate chips

    See all
