    My number one place to get ice cream in CT! These folks have been in the game so long I remember interviewing them for an anniversary tv special in highschool when I went to windsor high. I always pick up *several* quarts of my favorite ice cream before they close for the season. Thank yall for carrying my comfort ice cream.

    Cute neighborhood spot. Staff is friendly. Customers are friendly and happy. Outdoor seating overlooking airport.

    Run... do not walk here. The worst part about this place is that it's closed for a few months in the winter. I have never had a bad experience, and every thing that my family or I have ordered has been fantastic. Not to mention the prices are affordable. My sister-in-law is lactose free- and absolutely craves the dole whip.. sometimes they even have different flavors like orange dole whip! When I try to make it more health, conscious decision ... I say that with the most severe air quotes... I get the hard raspberry chip yogurt and it is unbelievable. It's a dark raspberry, which I'm usually not a fan of but it's unbelievable. The peanut butter iditarod and the grasshopper are also fantastic and they have a new ice cream called gone bananas... I could keep going on... But really you just need to plug it into your GPS and head over there... Stop wasting your time reading my review and give yourself the treat of your own experience .

    A local gem in the Windsor locks community that open in the 1960s, where you'll find probably the SMOOTHEST & CREAMIEST soft serves. They have lots of flavors and even sundaes, floats and hard Ice cream. There is a reason the lines are wrapped around the parking lot. If your missing Disneyworld or Disneyland they also have a pretty dam good pineapple dole whip!

    Flavor options...

    Take a drive to the best place in CT for ice cream!! Their variety of flavors really has something for everyone. Yeah, the line may be long sometimes but their workers are the best!! You won't regret going...and their prices are very good too.

    Dairy Cream is still hands down the best ice cream to me in this area. Normally I would order the hard ice cream. This time I was a dare devil and decided to order the soft serve with the flavor burst. I've always seen others order this and kept saying to myself that looks cool. How do they make the swirls like that. Apparently it's part of the soft serve machine. I believe I got the strawberry flavor burst and oh my gosh. It was so good. The soft serve is so creamy. And the added strawberry flavor was just the cherry on top. I'll be back for sure to try the other flavors they have. If your one of those people that always orders the same thing when you go. I suggest to be a little daring and try something different. You might actually be surprised. I sure was.

    Grasshopper hard ice cream in a dish.

    The Grasshopper hard ice cream was way below standard. Not creamy. Seemed crystallized inside. The server couldn't even get it to stay together in a cone and had to put it in a dish. It fell apart as I ate it with a spoon. Flavor was blah! They used to serve UConn Dairy ice cream here years ago, but not anymore. Need to bring that back. They won't be serving me here anymore either.

    Perfect night for an iced cream! Everyone else had the idea too. Line was at least 12 people deep. Did not take long to get my turn. The crew working was fast, efficient and polite. The young lady who helped me was obviously a veteran at this place. Having multiple windows taking orders.... Why don't more places do this? I'm in the area for business from the Chicago area, if I ever come back, I'll be a customer again.

    Dairy Cream has been a fixture in northern Windsor Locks for decades. They are seasonal, opening each year in early to mid-March, closing around mid-October. As today was close to 70, it drew me in like a moth to a candle (or a mosquito to my neck). They have a ginormous variety of ice cream (soft serve and hard), and frozen yogurts. Numerous flavors for frozen yogurt and soft serve, and flavors of the day. And they have numerous products.... sundaes, shakes, cones, cups, flurries, blizzards, yada yada yada. I opted for a Heath bar flurry with vanilla soft serve - medium. Reasonable at $5.75 plus tax. It was soooooooo awesome. Plenty of parking, and numerous picnic tables. They also have 3 windows for customers, which are all staffed on weekends and prime times. Well run, they def have their act together. Service and products are all excellent! Best, by far, in the area.

    Summer nights when the feeling's right!

    THE. BEST. SOFT SERVE. PERIOD. Never icy, always smooth smooth smooth and so creamy. We go here at least once a week (okay, definitely at least twice). We generally always get soft serve but have tried their sundaes, hard ice cream as well. Sometimes you can even catch planes landing or taking off at Bradley which is always fun when you have a young child. My son loves coming here and sitting in the trunk of our SUV to catch some planes. It's one of my favorite things to do with him. Service is fast and always friendly. Everyone is smiling even when the line wraps around the building (usually after dinner in the evenings, but the line moves fast). One of our weekly staples, I recommend it to everyone. Definitely check it out if you're in the area. Or even if you aren't, just come !

    Small ice-cream stand by Bradley airport that has a very nostalgic feel to it, which makes sense since they have been around since 1954. The stand has a wide variety of ice cream treats, and they utilize both soft serve and hard ice cream. They have both traditional and a ton of unique flavors for both their soft-serve and their hard ice cream. Additionally, they have ice-cream floats, milkshakes, sundaes, flurries (candy mix-ins), Italian ice, and some take-home options. They also sell hot dogs, chili dogs, chips and soft drinks. You order from an outside window, and they have their menu plastered across the outside wall. As far as seating goes...they have picnic benches throughout the parking lot I got one of their unique ice-cream flavors, which consisted of a vanilla base and a ton of candy mix-in's, inside of a waffle cone. The ice cream consistency was solid, and the flavor was fantastic. The ice cream cone was solid as well. I couldn't tell if it was home-made or not 7/10

    Oh what a day! And what could make this day any betterlicius? Easy, a stop at Dairy Cream! We brought Oma & Opa for a well deserved dairy treat. They've recently been house bound and were grateful for a road trip to the store and frozen concoction. Oma a vanilla/peanut butter twist, Mama Bear a vanilla/chocolate twist, Opa & this Papa Bear each had a root beer float with a hard scoop of vanilla. We hit another common bond! The grand Root Beer Float!!! There's no other Float in our Parade!

    Dairy Cream is so good and honestly worth trying out whenever you're in the Windsor area! I appreciate all places that offer non-dairy options. Honestly, I always risk it being lactose intolerant but when a place has nondairy ice cream as good as their full on dairy ice cream? A big heck yeah from me! It was my first time trying the pineapple dole soft serve and it was refreshing on such a humid day! My partner got the peach and vanilla twist. It was subtle but was basically peaches and cream. This is such a great joint which is no wonder there's always a line - but no worries! The line always goes quickly! The workers there are always so upbeat and so kind. I highly recommend Dairy Cream!
