Bill's Carousel is an old-fashioned drive-up ice cream parlor that opened in New Haven, Connecticut…read morein 1959. It was founded by Bill (whose last name seems to have been lost to history). The location originally opened as a Carvel ice cream shoppe in 1957, before being rebranded as "Bill's Carousel" two years later. Since 2008, the establishment has been owned by E.J. Akdeniz, who purchased it from Bill's widow. Akdeniz has no idea what the "carousel" in the ice cream parlor's name refers to, but after talking ownership he put a vintage carousel horse on display next to the order window. He acquired the horse in New Jersey after an old carousel had been dismantled. The biggest seller at Bill's is their soft serve ice cream (24 flavors to be exact), but the menu also features hard ice cream, sundaes, milkshakes & floats, frozen yogurt, Italian ice, slushies, smoothies, flurries, ice cream cakes, and even hot foods like hot dogs, hamburgers and fries. My family and I recently stopped for ice cream at Bill's Carousel while we were passing through New Haven's Westville neighborhood. My wife lived in an apartment in Westville when we first began dating. We used to make walks down to Bill's often to enjoy their delicious ice cream. Bill's was a seasonal ice cream parlor for several years, but it is now open year-round. On this particular visit, we parked in the lot and ordered from the order window. We all ended up getting cups of hard ice cream. I had "Pumpkin", my wife had "Peach", my older son had "Cotton Candy", and my younger son had "Vanilla". Regardless of what type of frozen treat (or even hot treat) that you order at Bill's, you won't be disappointed.

The double egg is a nice touch as most places only give you one egg. As I was waiting for my order 3 different people came back because their orders were wrong.

I'll be back to try some of their lunch offerings.

Toasted or untoasted coconut are great, Boston cream, any of the sticks or crullers. I really like the carrot cream cheese muffin, my favorite thy offer, though berry is always good too. Pretty good coffee and breakfast sandwiches. They have a drive through, but I've only ordered inside, and service is always quick and super friendly. There is some seating there, not a lot, and sometimes I stay and eat, but I usually take it to go. It's a great location for me near where I have most of my appointments. It's nothing fancy, but it's very good and a must try.

This has got to be the best gelato in Connecticut! We went in thinking that we'd have a small cup…read moreand 1 scoop each, but on tasting 6 flavors (3 apiece, which is their limit per person for sampling), we decided to get 2 large cups with a scoop of each flavor we sampled. It's just that good! We tried the tiramisu, straciatella, gianduja, mint chocolate chip, popcorn, and s'mores, and they were all phenomenal! Creamy and fresh, and they were clearly made the Italian way and definitely could go up against any gelato in Italy!

I am a fan of their smoothies as well as their protein shakes! They are flavorful and refreshing. Regarding food options, I have ordered their Turkey BLT on multiple occasions, but not sure if it is still on their rotating menu anymore.

Service has always been good and the workers are more than willing to help with suggestions if you are stumped on what to try your first visit.

Looking forward to trying more of their menu.

I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu!
