    Strawberry Shortcake Bomb
    Lindsay N.

    There is another ice cream shop in town offering up premium ice cream, frozen treats, milkshakes and cold brew. Make your afternoon, a Sundae Afternoon. Upon arriving, the ladies serving you were the sweetest. Offering us a taste of the ice creams, announcing their specials and pointing out pre-made frozen treats in a separate freezer across from the main counter. The main counter has all the hard ice creams on display. They have hard ice creams from The Ice Cream Club, a company from Florida. This is my first time trying this ice cream and different the other ice cream shops in the area who serve Giffords Ice Cream, Praline's Ice Cream, etc. They have a few dairy-free options too. I got two scoops of the Stellar Coffee flavor. The ice cream was light, rich coffee flavor with a thick fudge swirl and a generous amount of mini dark chocolate coffee cups. My husband tried the Strawberry Shortcake Bomb, their take of the Good Humor bar. There was strawberry ice cream in the center, wrapped in vanilla, and rolled in the strawberry shortcakes pieces. They had other fun flavors and treats like a Neil's Donut Ice Cream Sandwich (would love to try this next). Sundae Afternoon is in a great area that we pass by often. It's next to a Subway and across the street from the Yalesville Veterinary Hospital. They have dog friendly ice cream treats too. For a small shop, it's very open. The dining area is spacious, walls painted in a fun, bright orange color. Can't wait to see more of Sundae Afternoon and what they have in store when the weather heats up!

    I would give 3.5 stars if possible. I thought the ice cream was made in-house, but learned it comes from somewhere in Florida. I understand that you're competing with some well-entrenched competitors and need to set yourself apart, and having something other than Pralines or Giffords is nice, but may not be enough. Reading the description of the shop and why the owner created it, I was very much looking forward to trying it out. It's housed in an old dry cleaner shop and redone very well, very clean and bright and welcoming. With such a personal story I expected the owner to be a bit more exuberant about helping guests, especially during the first week open. To be completely fair, I'm only guessing that the person who helped me was the owner because it was just after opening and during the first week, so, I would think the owner would be there. She was friendly enough, offered a taste of whatever I wanted, but then turned her back and was not very interactive or communicative. One pet-peeve I have about ice cream shops is that they hand you a cone and then you have to reach into your pocket to pay. It's not easy to do and can get quite messy. Easy solution-have an ice cream holder by the register! Guess what, they have an cone holder near the register, however, if was full of some type of chocolate lollipops. I order the garbage can flavor which was vanilla base with 7 different chocolate candies mixed in. It was good, not great. It was lighter than most premium ice creams, which many may prefer. There were plenty of chocolate candy pieces and a decent portion size, but still quite expensive. Updating my review based on the owner's feedback, which I appreciate. I had no idea the ice cream was not made in-house, which would explain why it was light in flavor and mouthfeel. Regarding expense, I would say it's even more expensive for a product not freshly made in-house. I wish you every success.

    Great new ice cream shop in Yalesville. Friendly staff and lots of great interesting flavors to choose from. They have an ice cream donut (w Neil's Donuts) and a homemade choco taco. Pup cups, too.

    Absolutely amazing ice cream, Toasted coconut. I added fresh pineapple like a frozen, frozen piña colada. Their ice cream is one of the best

    I got the scoop on the new ice cream shop in town, please welcome, Scoopy's, to Wallingford! This…read moreshop has a lot of options from hard ice scream, sundaes, flights, Italian ice, and treats for the fur-kids. They have a long list of ice cream flavors from their specialty cannoli, cake batter, cotton candy, black raspberry and more. The also have a ton of toppings and sauces. I got a chocolate dipped waffle cone with a scoop of blueberry swirl and coconut. The shop is very large with two fun photo op walls. All the toppings are on display at the counter. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. There are many picnic tables outside to enjoy your ice cream. I also thought the trash can painted like an ice cream cone was a great touch. I will be coming back again because I'd love to try their Neil's Donut Sundae. Neil's Donuts is right up the street.

    If you're looking for a cute ice cream spot, this is it! When you walk in, it's a large place (much…read morelarger than it appears outside) with plenty of seating. The walls are painted in a cute ice cream sunday theme that I love. There are dozens of flavors and mixing options, and the staff is friendly and patient. The ice cream is creamy and richly flavored with large servings, so you get your money's worth. The only (minor) disappointment was it was quite cold in side. It was a cold and rainy day when I stopped in, but I still sat with my coat on the whole time because it was not warm inside.

    "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!

    I love ice cream shops that sell their own homemade ice cream. So I decided to try Sweet Claude's…read more They had a nice selection of flavors. 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. They only had four stools for indoor seating, and a few benches for outdoor seating. Good ice cream, but does not compare to some of the dairy farm ice cream shops in Ct.
