So here I am at Pat's looking at all the wonderful choices of ice creams, and sherbets I decided on one scoop of peaches and cream, and one scoop of lemon pie! The peaches and cream was smooth and delicious from the word go. This was a solid choice. Now this lemon pie choice was flipping amazing. There was graham crackers in with this creamy lemon ice creamy concoction. One of the best choices here at Pat's and it's new! I love coming here. Pat is such a nice guy, warm, friendly, treats everybody like he's known them for years, and his ice cream choices are spectacular This place is old school and I love sitting outside watching the traffic go by enjoying the ice cream. If you are in the area, it's just south of downtown on route 10 on the right heading towards Cheshire right after CVS. Thanks again, Pat. I hope to see you again this summer.

Wow amazing ice cream shop in Southington! My only regret is not coming here earlier. There are…read moreabout 30 flavors there at a time and let me tell you, it's hard to choose because every one that I have tried is amazing. I consider myself very lucky to live in town so I can come here often. They are open every day until 9p! Workers seem really nice and attentive. The place is also very cute, kinda like a throwback to the 90s mom and pop feel in there!

The patio tables are out and ready. I had the large sundae and my wife had the small waffle cone. First of all the cone and scoops were anything but small! Be advised you get a lot. My sundae was packed with 3 large scoops, strawberries, sprinkles, whipped cream and a cherry. It was amazing. The ice-cream is creamy, not whipped full of air like others. The flavors jump out and grab you. My wife's black raspberry chip was loaded with chocolate. The pistachio ice-cream was loaded with whole pistachio nuts. We traveled farther but we didn't have better.

Want an example? Well, look no further than the high level of cuteness Snowman cookie we picked up. He had a marshmallow for a head, chocolate chips for eyes, and M&M for a mouth, and half a mini-Reese's Piece for a hat. Throw that creativity on a peanut butter cookie, add a blanket of snowy white vanilla frosting and you have a delicious and quite creative work of art. We also picked up a crunchy, and chewy Ranger White Chocolate Chip Cookie made from oats, Krispies, coconut, and white chocolate chips, and a conventional chocolate chip cookie. The cookies are large enough (well over four ounces) that we found them easily splitable, and they made a sweet tooth satisfying dessert. They have a very cool product line of cookies - including a cookie-brownie love child and a slew of stuffed "cookie bombs" that pack a gooey layer of yumminess inside the cookie. They have a nice mail order business, but if you visit the store, like we did, you'll find a big selection, a super sweet staff, and plenty of parking. And the icing on the proverbial cookie is this -- they also sell a line of those super-frozen Nitrogen blasted ice creams, shakes, and sundaes. to numb your aching sweet tooths. They'll be closed in January and will reopen in February, so make your Valentines Day cookie purchase plans now.

At the time I went there was little to know customer which was nice but I have heard from other companions of mine that it does get busy from time to time. The froyo was delicious and since it wasn't very busy the cashier came up to my group and asked if we would like to try any of the flavors. It was a great experience and I will definitely be back for more!

Their ice cream comes from Big Dipper in Prospect, CT but they add their own mix-ins. They had two dairy free offerings: Oreo ice cream and strawberry cheese cake.

The creamy sweet cheesecake topping on the rich brownie was fantastic as well! Can't wait to go back and try more!

"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!
