    My wife's Sundae with Heath Bar, hot Fudge and M&Ms
    Jason P.

    First time visiting this Ashley's with my wife. Of the ice cream places sometimes discussed among CT's best, Ashley's is not one that I connect with. I haven't had bad experiences. Ice cream is almost always good, and I've had good ice cream from Ashley's. I haven't had a great experience with Ashley's though. My wife, on the other hand, is a big fan. My wife asked me to order for her, and I knew she would like a sundae with Heath Bar ice cream, hot fudge, M&M's and the thick Ashley's whipped cream. It looked very good and my wife loved it. I suspect she would leave a 5 Star review. I was hoping there would be a cool, and interesting ice cream flavor that would shout out to me. That wasn't the case, and that's been my primary issue with Ashley's. They have fewer flavor choices than many ice cream places. There are at least two CT places I love with fewer flavor choices, but those places execute the heck out of those flavors. That hasn't been my experience with Ashley's. After sampling and failing to connect with Orange/Pineapple, I decided to order a root beer float with vanilla ice cream. It was good, not great. Par for the course. The non-food parts of my visit were all very good. This is probably the nicest looking Ashley's I've been in, and I liked the umbrella-covered outside seating. Service was both friendly and efficient. So another good Ashley's visit for me. But not a memorable one. Four Stars

    Ashley's is a tradition whenever we visit our friends - every Memorial Day weekend since I was little, we'd A) go watch the parade in Guilford and B) visit Ashley's at some point over the weekend. I give it four stars because it's delicious ice cream, but it is a little pricey. Still, I can never say no! One of my favorite parts is the drawings all over the walls, made by Ashley's fans of all ages. Most recently I had vanilla softserve with rainbow sprinkles in a waffle cone. Classic.

    In need of cleaning

    Great ice cream but it feels as though the place has not been cleaned in over a year. The staff were nice but we were there an hour before closing on a slow night and no one was cleaning up. The place needed a good overall but simple stuff was left uncleaned. Take a look at the pictures to get an idea. Incidentally, the other places that serve Ashley's ice cream are cleaner.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Ashley's! Maybe it's my pregnant cravings talking, but their ice cream really hit the spot. I loved that there were so many flavors to choose from!! I ended up going with one scoop of Swiss chocolate almond, and one scoop of a coffee/mocha with brownie (I can't remember the name), in a waffle cone. It was a great combo! The ice cream is rich and creamy. It was definitely a large cone, but the $6 it costs still seems just a little steep. However, it's a nice way to indulge! The girls behind the counter are very nice and there are tons of sweet, ice cream treats to choose from and lots of toppings. I wish I lived closer, but I'll have to make it a priority to stop whenever we are in town visiting my in-laws!

    With a brownie on the bottom!

    The perfect place for a yummy treat! Very friendly staff and good ice cream! Definitely will be returning next time I visit! My one critique is that they serve the brownie option in too small of a cup and the fudge gets everywhere. It can get quite messy, but it is delicious!

    Didn't get great service and ice cream was lacking richness and flavor. Nowhere to wash sticky fingers afterward either.

    The best in CT! Cones, pies and all sorts of cool treats. Tasty low fat flavors. Thai place is a must.

    Went there yesterday with my 3 granddaughters. Delicious ice cream, and a very friendly service. Just perfect.

    Extremely small scoops served by a snotty young girl. If you want Ashley's, go to Branford or Hamden!

    I challenge anyone to find a better combo than Ashley's sweet cream and bittersweet chocolate.
