Of…read morecourse I'm not used to it, so my shopping is not as easy as my more familiar Stop 'n' Shop, but ShopRite will fill the void for now. Two things I miss from Stop 'n' Shop. ShopRite does not have the option of using a wand so you can scan your groceries as you shop and check out really fast. In fact, maybe I wasn't being observant, but does it have self checkout lanes? I guess I'll find out if the strike is still going on and I come back. The second thing is they don't have reusable shopping bags (unless I just didn't see them). They bag your groceries in plastic bags. However, I brought my reusable Stop 'n' Shop bags with me and had them use them for bagging. I hope the strike will end soon, but ShopRite will fill the void, and I may even like it a lot if this situation continues.

The store is bright, clean, and smells amazing the second you walk in. Ordering was smooth--using the app made things even easier--and though there was a small line, it moved quickly. Staff were upbeat and helpful. Here's what I tried: Pink Sugar (2x) - Classic frosted sugar cookie. Soft, buttery, and nostalgic, though a bit sweet for my taste. That signature almond-pink frosting is either love or leave. Fruity Pebbles Cookie (2x) - Surprisingly good! The crunchy cereal added a fun texture, and the cookie itself had a mellow vanilla vibe that balanced the sweetness. Chocolate Chunk - Thick, chewy, and loaded with big chocolate pieces. A solid go-to, though not as adventurous as the others. Lucky Charms Cookie - This one looked super fun with marshmallows on top. Flavor-wise it was more novelty than standout, but still enjoyable for the experience. Biscoff (I think - top left?) - Soft, spiced, and packed with that cookie butter flavor. A standout if you like warm, cinnamon-y notes. Double Chocolate or Chocolate Raspberry? (middle row) - Hard to tell, but it had a rich flavor and a nice texture. Would eat again. Overall, Crumbl is a great treat spot. Cookies are massive, rich, and best shared or saved for later (pro tip: refrigerate and reheat!). The rotating weekly menu keeps it interesting, and it's perfect for gifting or indulging once in a while. Not something I'd grab weekly--my blood sugar says no thanks --but definitely worth the hype for special occasions.

It's not unique anymore. One of the draws of going here was to walk in and see all the liquid nitrogen and making the ice cream. It's just not fun anymore. Also, they served my bubble cone in a plastic cup? That was weird. The inside is also in need of attention. The lighting was dim and it was pretty dirty in there if you stand and look around. It's like it hasn't been deep cleaned in 10 years. There's also no restroom! People seemed nice to us. I won't complain about them. It seems like a lot of kids working, to be expected. It's basically a fast food ice cream chain so what can be expected. The real issue is, they need a manager there running the ship. The crew was all over the place when I was there. They kept looking at the order receipts, running around chaotically. Asking each other questions etc. I think they need a boss or someone there that can help the crew out with direction. I think lack of management was the issue. I recommend spending your money elsewhere. Go find a mom and pop place nearby. This place is just not as "cool" as it once was.

The pluses start with having plenty of parking. The parking continues around the building, and is even connected to the plaza next door in an ice cream crisis. There is seating inside and a long bench outside. The inside is very classic ice cream parlor with the right pinks and greens. You have your soft serve, your scoops, your cones, your gelato, and a good collection of flavors. I got a peppermint with blue sprinkles. Who has blue sprinkles? It was delightful! The service is also calm and organized. With two groups they took a divide and conquer approach, and no one had to wait for an extended period of time. I would definitely go again, especially now that I'm ready for the entrance!

After having a serious reaction, I had to go to the ER twice. The next day, I called the store to speak with the manager, hoping to understand how such a dangerous mistake happened. Instead of taking responsibility, she insisted I had ordered the extra toppings and told me she "didn't want to argue" with me. Her dismissive attitude was shocking, especially considering I had a medical emergency due to their error. To make matters worse, she told me to bring the rest of the sundae back so she could make another one. As if I would ever trust them with my safety again! The way I feel, I never want ice cream again. I will be calling corporate because this level of negligence and poor customer service is unacceptable.

Don't mind the long lines, crowds of people, or the 500,000 vehicles eating, sleeping, and roaming these roads of East Norwalk. Trust me, this place is worth all the traffic! I've been coming here almost every summer since I found this place back in 2015. There's usually several people already in line by the time I arrive, but it's never a long wait. It gives me just enough time to decide what ice cream I want to try, what toppings I want, and how I want to pay for my ice cream. I've always been more of a sundae guy because that means I have a far less chance of my ice cream spilling, and so that's basically always what I get here. Today's sundae was a large Chocaholic with peanuts, cheesecake bites, whipped cream, hot fudge, and cherries. Yeah people, I am a chocolate lover. Don't like it? Deal with it! And as always, my ice cream was top-notch delicious! What truly makes these experiences magical is the location. Yes, I know it's not directly next to the water, but this leads into one of my favorite Connecticut summer pass times ever! To optimize my experience, I would carry my ice cream over to the Overton's dock, sit on a bench that's right at the end of the dock, face the water, and enjoy away on a nice summer day. I love to feel the sea breeze caress my skin as I look over the harbor, ice cream in hand. I love to imagine myself riding on a boat, or maybe sit at the edge of a pier, feet dangling just mere inches over the water as I enjoy my summer treat. It's always a soothing sensation, and I only need to walk a very short distance to make it happen. Mr. Frosty's, I love you so!
