I went with a 1/4 lb burger with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles. I asked for it as rare as they could make it and they cooked it nicely. The side of onion rings were great as well. They were nice and crispy! Plenty of seating to choose from here. They have picnic tables close to the order window and a good number of tables under a roof to keep you protected from the sun and weather. There's also a large ceiling fan in there for when the temps go up. Service was friendly! From the order taker to the order deliverer..everyone was smiling and pleasant. This is a really great spot to check out! I need to come back to explore the menu more; they have much more than just burgers. And of course, to try the ice cream!

"Well, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Ms. Claudy Girl, you sure look…read moregood to me" (Elvis Presley) Sweet Claude's may be one of the more difficult to find ice cream stores around, so your mindset better be "determination" focused, because I guarantee you'll be very happy with your dish or cone. You'll find them tucked away pretty much out of view inside the Artsplace building (493 W Main) within the Ball and Socket Art Complex in Cheshire. They've been cranking out homemade ice cream since 1988, and we had a stellar experience when we visited. They have plenty of ice cream flavors (including some nonfat and sugar free), plus yogurts, sorbets and ices. Some of their interesting flavors are Claude's Cupcake, Dough - Si -Dough, Salty Pretzel, Smurf, and a "Banana Corner" which is a rotating selection of banana-based ice cream. How cool! I went with a 2-flavor small dish of Salty Pretzel and Triple Chocolate. The ice cream was smooth as silk and full of flavor. Seriously, their ice cream is terrific, and at $5.35 for a big enough cup, was a very fair value. PRO TIP Because Sweet Claude's is in the Ball and Socket Art Complex there are many sections within the complex to park your car. But only park in front of Sweet Claude's if you plan on staying there for no more than a half hour. Visitors to the rest of the complex or the Farmington River Trail should leave those precious spots to the ice cream afficionados!

My daughter and I both chose the same flavor Mississippi, mud. I found the flavor of the ice cream was delicious, but the ice cream itself lacked the rich, heavier cream of premium ice cream.

Looking for some of the best homemade ice cream in Connecticut? The Big Dipper Ice Cream is a must…read morego for any ice cream lover. I've had their Graham Jam ice cream at the Micro Creamy of CT and is where I first learned about them. The Big Dipper's shop in Prospect was a 20 minute drive for us. The shop was very cute, classic ice cream shop vibes with a lot of indoor seating. There were freezers with ice cream pies, cakes, sandwiches, and pints or quarts of ice cream. They had a lot of hand scooped ice cream flavors from classic to original flavors. There were a few soft serve flavors available too. Since they make their own ice cream there were flavors that were unique to them. I got a scoop of Purple Cloud--a purple cotton candy base ice cream with a marshmallow swirl and Lemon Pie--lemon base ice cream with pie crust pieces. These flavors packed a punch and the Purple Cloud was fun for all ages. I don't remember the last time I had eaten cotton candy flavored ice cream, but the marshmallow swirl was a great touch to a nostalgic flavor. I got my ice cream in a waffle cone which was very delicious and had little bits of caramelization. My mom wanted a special soft serve flavor that the Big Dipper had advertised for the weekend. They called it Butterbeer, a twist of sweet cream and butterscotch. The girl helping us had no idea what we were talking about, but finally confirmed that they had the special soft serve flavors. We think my mom's cone was only the butterscotch flavor, but the soft serve was so soft it started melting immediately. No picture because it didn't look to pretty. Fortunately, the flavor was good and that's what really matters. I'd say stick to the hard ice cream flavors at Big Dipper. I look forward to visiting them again to see what they'll craft up because I'm always looking for flavors you can't get anywhere else.

I sampled one flavor that I thought was decent, but I decided to order the Red Velvet Cake flavor which looked good and tasty. I liked the Red Velvet Cake flavor. It was a bit of a cheat code in the best possible way. I mean -- combine ice cream and one of the best cakes, and you're ahead of the game. The waffle cone was good too, but it had a big hole in the bottom. Luckily, I noticed Dixie cups on the counter. So I just placed the cup under the cone. Service was pleasant and efficient. Sundae Afternoon was a good ice cream shop and is worth visiting. I wouldn't say it's with the top tier CT places though. Four Stars

Well I decided to have my first Oreo Blizzard after 4 years…read more Is it me or did DQ change their Oreo cookies at all locations in CT? Imitating an original Oreo cookie in a blizzard doesn't work for me. Especially when it cost me $6 bucks. The blizzard I got is like eating sand and ice cream in a cup. I'm not tasting any flavor of the original Oreo cookie. Nabisco would not be happy that you are saying Oreo and it's NOT. After all the Oreo cookie is Americans number one cookie. The Oreo cookie has reigned supreme for years. Well I guess it will be years again before I go to a DQ. Unless someone can tell me where I can get a blizzard with an original Oreo cookie in the blizzard. This was such a letdown. I welcome any DQ locations in CT that would like me come try your Oreo blizzard with 'real' Oreo cookies mixed inside. I could make it at home but some treats are nice to have out when the urge hits you. Well that was a bust but happy weekend anyway everyone. Enjoy.

Have been in the store twice for her cupcakes, the cinnamon roll (delicious but maybe a bit too much frosting for my taste but too much is better than not enough!), the chocolate chip cookies are very good, and her apple scone was incredible. A lot of times scones are dry but hers was perfect! I want to try some other desserts like the baklava. Amy is such a friendly delightful person so I have to say the only negative is the slightly older woman that works in the store is not friendly at all. I do wish there were more gluten free options too. Overall this has been such a nice addition to Cheshire and Amy is fabulous.
