"Through the long, lonely nights she filled my sleep Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat Down on Main Street" (Bob Seger) We've heard a lot of good things about the ice cream at Main Street Creamery, and since checking out new ice cream joints is a favorite pastime of ours, we stopped by the other day. It's in the Old Wethersfield part of time, and if you haven't been there, its definitely a sweet place to park your car, go for a stroll, and check out the shops on (you guessed it,) Main Street. Main Street Creamery is a blue building with a few indoor tables and outdoor seating. We saw big trays of cookies, brownies and macarons on their counters, but of course the real star of a place with "Creamery" in their name is their ice cream, and they sure knock ice cream out of the park. Hard ice cream, frozen yogurts, sorbet, sherbet, Milk Shakes, Malts, Ice Cream Floats, Razzles, and Sherbet Coolers are on the menu. Want to bling out your ice cream with some extras? How about over 20 toppings to pile onto your dish? Among their over 50 hard ice cream flavors are some intriguing ones and some clever names, like Nerds Explosion, Espresso Ripple Bean, Coconut Candy Bar, InstaGRAHAM, Apple Caramel Crumb, Pumpkin Gingersnap, and three Peanut Butter based flavors - PB Nightmare, PB Dream, and PB Oreo. Ice cream cups range from $5 to $8, and we both went with a small for $6. Even though they were advertised to include one scoop, our friendly young scooper gladly offered to include two flavors in each small cup, and between you and me, it sure seemed like she exceeded that "one scoop" limit. Our four flavors included Coconut Candy Bar, PB Dream, White Russian, and Black Raspberry Oreo. Our first impressions were that #1 the ice cream was very smooth and creamy, with zero traces of ice crystals, #2 the flavors were fantastic, and #3 we were spooning up some of the very best ice cream we've had in a while. We were very glad we finally checked out Main Street Creamery. Sitting on a bench on a beautiful summer day in a scenic small-town street, while eating some great ice cream was one of the real seasonal pleasures of life. Go check it out and enjoy. PRO TIPS Cash or Venmo only, no credit cards. There is an ATM on site. Don't overlook their freezer with Pup Cups, pints, and ice cream pies read more

Main Street Creamery & Cafe - Ice-Cream Sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Wethersfield, Connecticut

I've been told to try this place for awhile and finally went. Staff were super friendly, but otherwise I found this place pretty basic. There was a good variety of flavors but they were pretty ordinary. Although it was warm outside, the ice cream served to my friends and I was already partially melted when served, which indicates to me the freezers are not handling the doors opening often very well. Ice cream should be served still hard, without any liquid already pooling at the bottom. The ice cream itself was good but nothing extraordinary. Portion sizes were normal , though pricey compared to other local areas that offer heaping portions for similar prices. $8 for a small scoop in a bowl with 2 toppings is a bit steep in my opinion. They are also cash (or Venmo) only. Parking was easy on the street. There were seating options both inside in the AC and outside , it is a nice area along the main strip of Wethersfield. Good if you're in the area but probably not something I would drive out of the way for. read more

Warning- CASH ONLY business. Not sure what the deal is in Connecticut but this is the second business we stopped at in 2 days that was cash only. I do understand small businesses not wanting to pay the credit card processing fees, but it's 2025 and there are other options to help serve the customers like The Square, etc. There is an ATM machine inside the shop too, but it charges a bank fee. Service was good, the ice cream was great and the S'more's cookie was delicious. read more

Cute little ice cream cafe with a large selection and varied flavors. I had two seasonal flavors ~ Extreme Chocolate and White Russian combined in a small cup. For $6, I felt like it was an appropriate serving size and cost. The staff were friendly and didn't hesitate when I asked to sample a few flavors. Tonight was my second visit and I'll probably be back for my last evening in Wethersfield. read more

Screaming with excitement for all these fall flavors! First time stopping by Main Street Creamery & Cafe, we were blown away by how many flavors of ice cream they had. They had a generous list of seasonal flavors that we tried the Pumpkin Cheesecake, Apple Caramel Crumb and White Russian. We also got a scoop of Grapenut. The ice creams were super flavorful, generous scoops, but we wished that the Pumpkin Cheesecake had cheesecake pieces in it. It happened to be a beautiful Saturday. Before we headed into the cafe, a group of bicyclists rolled up. It made the line fairly long and outside the building. The staff was super fast scooping those scoops! They finished the line in no time and we didn't have to wait too long. They had a board outside with the flavors for the day that helped us get an idea what flavors we wanted before we got inside. The area is super cute, an adorable little town to walk up and down, checking out the neighboring shops. We look forward to visiting again around the holiday season. Heard they have a delicious Eggnog ice cream that I will have to try for myself. read more

Craved some ice cream after lunch, and found this place! Luckily, this has been on my bucket list of ice cream places to try in CT. I have never visited Old Wethersfield and found the town to be so cute! I loved seeing bikes every where. There was a line out the door, but the line moved very quickly. Workers were really friendly and allowed me and my party to sample ice creams prior to choosing! They carry traditional flavors, while also having a seasonal rotation which i love. I got the seasonal peanut butter pie flavor which was sooo delicious! I will definitely be making a trip back up here, maybe next time on my bike? read more

What a small lovely ice cream shop! Stopped by here on a Tuesday night and it was PACKED. They are CASH or VENMO only. They do have an atm in the store if you need to pull out cash. The worker recommended Beez Knees and it was soo good. I got a toddler size scoop and it was the perfect amount. It tasted just like a graham cracker but in ice cream form. Very dog friendly! They have a water bowl and treats for dogs right outside their shop and sell pup cups as well. read more

Delicious ice cream and friendly staff. Great Main Street location. Only downside is they only accept cash.

Main Street Creamery & Cafe - Oreo scoop in a waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Wethersfield, Connecticut

Main Street was one of the few locations I have left on my "need to try this" collection. And honestly, when I arrived, I was wondering why. It was a busy day up in Old Wethersfield, people flocking all over town. Not too bad of a line here but it moved slowly, and from what I saw all the ice cream flavors looked normal. "Unless I'm missing something, I'm probably not getting any ice cream here after all," I muttered to my friend, and then immediately noticed I was missing something: the special flavors had fallen off the board. I put them up and discovered why I wanted to come here after all! So in the end, I went for some novelties, all off the seasonal menu: * Lemon Pie - A nice zest of lemon, not the usual for ice cream, but this was the smallest of my three flavors and I was okay with that. Because: * Honey ... I don't remember the name, it's not on their website, truly a special! With honey crystals and what I think was gingerbread sprinkled throughout, this flavor brought a vibrant uniqueness to my tongue and I was chasing it all around my container to the last drop. * Pumpkin gingersnap - So they had pumpkin cheesecake, nice but I've had that. Then there was this other pumpkin flavor that was dark orange. Yes. And after tasting it, I was right. It is DEEP with pure pumpkin flavor, even purer than pumpkin pie. Never have I enjoyed ice cream this truly pumpkin. And probably never will again - unless I come back here! The staff was nice, willing to throw a third flavor into my pint, which is normally limited to two. It ws a long wait to get to the front, but worth it in the end. I'll try more flavors next time I'm up visiting my friend (who lives within walking distance) and while I wouldn't say "fly over to Hartford now and get that Lyft!", this is a sweet treat worth the side trip from wherever in CT you may find yourself. read more

One of CT's gems is this creamery & cafe in Old Wethersfield. They have rotating flavors and I can't seem to get enough. I most enjoy the cheesecake flavors. Last time they had strawberry and this time they had blueberry. I meant to take a quart home and I forgot. Hehehe. Be prepared to bring cash or pay by Venmo. There's seating outside and inside available. There's also ice cream for your pups and yes they are welcome in the store. They also serve hot & cold drinks apart from their creamery. read more

I love this little place! It's super cute. The downside is how crowded it can get inside, but of course that's no fault to them! The flavors are always really nice and the workers are nice as well! read more

Stop by after dinner and got 1 scoop of mint chip and 1 scoop of cookie dough. The ice cream was delicious and creamy. The whipped cream on the top was my FAV! If you're stopping by make sure you bring cash, but if you forget it's okay because they have an ATM and let you use Venmo to pay. Overall a top 5 ice cream spot in my book. Cons: I docked 1 star off because the bathroom was VERY dirty and there were no paper towels to dry off my hands. read more

Still one of our favorite ice cream shops in the area! They use Praline's ice cream so you know you're gonna get good flavors. Love that they always rotate through different specials!! The PB Oreo is elusive and one of my favorites! They have great hours in the summer (10pm) so I love that we can get a late night fix! Staff is great and always helpful when you can't decide on flavors. They have pup cups too! read more

Our first visit ever and it just happened to be opening day for the season! Staff was so welcoming and friendly, greeting customers with a "welcome back!" Such a cute space but it must be mobbed in the summer! A cold night in March and the line was out the door! We were impressed with all the flavor choices and the size of the one scoop (which you can get two different flavors in the one scoop!). I tried PB swirl at the suggestion of the owner (I think) and campfire smores while hubs had black raspberry oreo and brownie chunk. Perfectly happy with our choices! While they don't make the ice cream in house, it is locally made in Wallingford. Would be more than happy to visit again! read more

Twice a year or so, we get ice cream at the Main Street Creamery ("MSC"). They have good ice cream and a wide selection of flavors and Sundae toppings. We love eating ice cream in Old Wethersfield with the cool old buildings and classic New England vibes. I'm giving MSC 4 rather than 5 stars because we like another area ice cream place a bit better. And when we want a change of pace, we're more likely to go on a road trip to check out other respected ice cream shops around the State. We enjoy MSC when we go though. Today, I ordered a white chocolate raspberry scoop on a sugar cone. The ice cream was good and the sugar cone was decent. read more

Main Street Creamery & Cafe is a gourmet creamery and cafe that opened in Wethersfield, Connecticut in 2004. It was founded by Paula Rubinow. Situated in the center of historic Old Wethersfield, the shop offers about 50 different flavors of ice cream at any given time. Rubinow never dreamed of opening an ice cream shop; in fact she doesn't even care for ice cream that much. Her father Roger "Sonny" Rubinow was a fixture at the creamery for several years. Her used to carve corned beef and pastrami into hot, savory sandwiches at the shop. After her father passed away in 2014, Rubinow started looking to sell the creamery. She decided to stick around for a few more years but finally sold it the Clarke Family in 2017. My family and I visited Main Street Creamery for the first time this past weekend. We stopped in Old Wethersfield to see the 26th Annual "Scarecrows Along Main Street": a display of about 75 scarecrows lining up Main Street for about a mile. There are plenty of restaurants, shops and historic landmarks along the way. While my wife and I were showing our son the scarecrows, we decided to stop at the creamery for a frozen treat. We were very impressed with all of the flavors on the menu. I ordered a cup of Pumpkin Oreo & Campfire S'mores, my wife ordered a cup of Pumpkin Gingersnap & Apple Caramel Crumb, and our son had a cup of Vanilla. We were very happy with our choices; excellent ice cream! We really enjoyed our trip to Main Street Creamery. We highly recommend a stop there for anyone traveling through Old Wethersfield. read more

Absolutely adore this ice cream shop! Came here on a weeknight, and the tiny shop was a revolving door of customers getting their ice cream fix. I welcomed autumn with the Apple Cider Donut Sundae, and my husband had a black raspberry and watermelon sherbet sundae. Both were delicious! The apple cider donut was locally sourced from Belltown Orchards, which complimented the creamy Apple Caramel Crumb ice cream I chose to top my donut. With how tasty their ice cream is and their extensive flavour menu, I'll be back again -- I really want to try the PB Oreo flavour! Just be sure to bring cash or have Venmo. read more

This is one of the best ice cream places in CT! We went last week with our 8 year old nephew on a Monday afternoon. The girl behind the counter was very patient with my nephew as he described his sundae ingredients. One of their toppings includes cake crunchies which I absolutely adore! This time I got my favorite ice cream-coffee Oreo. It was super creamy and packed a strong coffee flavor. There are tons of ice cream flavors for all different palates, even pup cups for furry friends. Just a heads up, it's cash or Venmo only. There is an ATM in the shop if you need it. read more

great ice cream - awesome service -be prepared with cash or venmo only! the toasted almond with hot fudge was dreamy!

Came here on Fourth of July for some ice cream & was pleased to see that they were open. I was happy with the quick service, and areas to sit outside as well as inside. The ice cream flavors themselves were really good, I just wasn't a big fan of the toppings. I got the marshmallow topping and it was such a heavy pour of the drizzle over it, it had a soupy consistency. My friend got chocolate fudge on top and shared the same sentiment. I would come back and just avoid the topping and just go for ice cream in a cup! read more

Amazing ice cream! Especially their pumpkin Oreo!! It's a cute little shop that I've wanted to try for months now, and I finally got to visit not once, but twice within 2 weeks! I originally was gonna give them 3.5 stars, because of the young lady at the register on our first visit. She was very rude to us. Our second visit, however, was how customer service is supposed to be, especially during these crazy times. One bad visit won't keep us away! read more

Stumbled upon this gem by accident and what a special treat it was. Plenty of ice cream flavors to choose from and fairly priced. Tried a cold brew with a scoop of expresso ice cream and wowsa! How is this not a thing?? The shop was lovely and the youth working behind the counter were helpful and sweet. Looks like a fun place to work and great treats. Will definitely drop in again when we pass through Whethersfield. read more

I have been going to Main Street Creamery for years. I have never tried a flavor that I did not LOVE. Their ice cream is rich, smooth and creamy. My personal favorite is the strawberry which I always pair with one of their many other flavors! Main Street Creamery also has treats for your dog and even a dog bowl outside. Be warned that, especially in the warmer months, the line can be incredibly long! They do a good job of making sure it moves quickly so don't let that deter you from getting your ice cream. They do not accept cards, only cash or Venmo. There is an ATM on site that you can use if needed. This wonderful ice cream shop is located in the heart of Old Wethersfield, which is a quaint area with lots of cute shops and restaurants. read more

Location, colorful mums, and outdoor seating made this place inviting. I order a small cup of ice cream, the young lady filled it to the brim. She was very patient as I took my time deciding.

The price is comparable to the general ice cream shops. Overall, I would definitely go again. read more

I had always heard such great things about Main Street Creamery, and I'm glad I finally had a chance to stop by. They had a great selection of flavors, and I thought it was such a good idea that they offered an option for ice cream flights! I was struggling to make a choice, so I was happy to pick four flavors that I really wanted. Old Wethersfield's Main Street is really charming, and it was nice to sit outside the creamery and look at the old homes, and of course, the scarecrows for the Halloween season. read more
