It's always a pleasure to visit my favorite ice cream shop in CT, and it hasn't changed in years! The employees are nice and scoop your icecream generously. The black and white cow statue standing outside is always there to greet you as you walk in. Whether you're a kid climbing on top of it or a family smiling for a group photo, this cow always reminds you of childhood wonder. The place is always clean and they have the same flavors I remember for several years. They're always willing to give you a small taste test on a mini spoon before you decide on a flavor. On the far left side there's healthier sorbet/gelato flavors like lemon, lime, coconut, stratiatella, etc. Taking up most of the space are the classic flavors like moose tracks, mint chip, peanut butter cup, vanilla, cookie dough, etc. Can't wait to come back! read more

I'm really surprised at the reviews and the low rating score that they currently have. Walked right in with family and was greeted warmly by the owner. Th Gelato is amazing and so was the service ! Thank you sunny Daes I'm from NYC and would visit again read more

I went here last night near closing with my friend Chris and they were kind of enough to still serve us. He got a strawberry Ice cream and I got vanilla soft serve yogurt w/rainbow ice cream in a wafer cone both tasted delicious. The place was very clean and great spot if we wanted to stay and enjoy it. Will return. read more

We stopped in after dinner while in the area. It was fairly crowded but efficient! I have an egg allergy and was able to eat their soft serve safely. Not crazy exciting but decent ice cream! read more

Huge ice cream and gelato selection. Everything was absolutely delicious. Very creamy gelatos. The staff was friendly and patient with us as well as other customers who took a bit longer to decide. Great atmosphere with some outside seating as well! read more

We came here after another place was closed, we had planned to come here while visiting the area anyway. I was shocked the ice cream was so delicious, seriously some of the best ice cream I've ever had. My son who usually with a big cone ends up handing it off to one of us, ate the entire thing. If in the area I'd recommend this place over any of the others. read more

Cute shop. Friendly employees. Very good soft serve and gelato. My husband and I split a hurricane. They were very generous with the mix-ins. My daughter had the chocolate gelato which was rich and creamy and my son had the cotton candy gelato which was unique. Definitely a good place to stop by. read more

Delicious ice cream and shakes of all kinds! Try it! I like to add multiple toppings to mine lol

disclaimer: the following review was written by two college girls who take their ice cream very seriously!!!! if you like incredibly detailed ice cream reviews then read on: sunny dae's ice cream: * location: not super cute place, but easily accessible. easy to find as well, since it is on the main road. also has a lot of outdoor seating * aesthetic: love the logo! the inside was very retro, it gave us 90s vibes. they also had some cool decorations. * quality: good, it doesn't taste like grocery store ice cream, but was kind of freezer burnt. it's not bad for a small shop. (do they make their ice cream?) * menu: not easily found and read. there were a lot of flavors, but we didn't get a chance to see them all. some of them looked interesting, but nothing crazy. we did LOVE the chocolate brownie flavor. * price: not great. it's kind of expensive for ice cream that isn't really worth it. the cups serving was more generous than the cone. erin got more in a small cup than kayla did in a medium cone. total score: 7/10, adjusted for yelp to 3.5/5 read more

The most overpriced and undersized ice cream in town. The ice cream is mediocre .. go to whale tea or the firehouse.

It's not bad here, but it just seems fake. I got a scoop of regular chocolate and a scoop of dark chocolate gelato and they barely had any difference and were pretty weak on the chocolate in general, which is not how gelato should be at all. There's better ice cream options in the area. read more

Our son loves gelato and ordered the mint gelato on our last visit. I must admit, I don't understand his affinity for mint ice cream/gelato. But this time he asked me to actually taste it and all I can say is that it was unbearable! The mint was so strong it burned my nostrils...I would recommend that they taste their flavors before selling to the unsuspecting customer. We ended up wasting our money and throwing it away. On the plus side, both of us have minty fresh breath. read more

Absolutely fantastic place. What a way to end my week! Milkshakes were delicious and thick, along with quick, friendly, service. Very clean and convenient place. Highly recommend!! read more

Sunny Daes - Outside View - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

The mint gelato is disgusting. It looks good but tastes like shitty toothpaste. I wasted my money but left with good breath. Don't recommend. I won't be be back. read more

I will preface this by saying, men are stupid. My boyfriend and I walked in and the place smelled like disinfectant. My boyfriend kept saying he wanted gelato. He wanted nothing to do with 16 handles down the street. Ok buddy. "Large" gelato? $6.75 I went down the street to 16 handles and he ended up filling up a cup and admitting his stupidity. He ended up paying the same amount but with toppings and different flavors. The gelato wasn't terrible, it was just ok, but at the price they charge it should be outstanding. read more

Sunny Daes - This "large" gelato will set you back $6.75 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

Good selection, lots of tables, a bit pricey but tasted great. Cakes are also available.

This place is good. They are always open even during the winter. I'm pretty sure they are open until about 11 so getting a late night ice cream is easy. The store itself is usually very clean and the employees are pretty nice. I don't order crazy ice creams or crazy flavors so I'm not sure how their selection varies but, everything looks delicious. I always get a small vanilla milkshake ($5.00) which i find to be a little expensive but, I get hard ice cream as opposed to soft serve. The ice cream is good but, $5 for plain ice cream without toppings or anything else is a little pricy. The small is a decent size though so at least you don't feel totally ripped off. All and all I enjoy the quality of their ice cream (super duper creamy) Service is usually pretty fast. Unless you order something complicated. read more

Sunny Daes - Small vanilla milkshake $5 (hard ice cream) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

Not a fan. The renovation they did is not so great. It was closed for soo long I just expected it to be a lot better. Gelato is boring and expensive. read more

Sunny Daes - Cotton candy gelato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

Sunny Daes is great for what it is - basic ice cream. All the flavors are decent and their prices are in-line with other ice cream stores in the area that offer the same quality and flavors. Would give this 4-star review but the place is always really dirty. Floors, doors, tables - have never been here when store is clean. Take-out recommended! read more

Absolutely delicious. Their vanilla is excellent and I always think that's how you can truly tell! Best in town!

I've been to both Sunny Daes in Fairfield. The ice cream is very tasty and there is a wide variety of flavors, but they are both dirty-looking. The Sunny Daes on Black Rock is almost disgusting. The floors, the walls the outside are close to disgusting. I even feel that way about the machines. I was just at the Sunny Daes on the Post Road. I sat inside and looked out at the weeds, the ants, and the garbage on ground in the seating area outside the store. I guess. There is no excuse for that. Whomever owns those franchises should do a better job. I just that I could include pictures. They worth a thousand words. read more

This place is near Fairfield beach. They have a huge ice cream collection and the ice creams are good, nothing extraordinary. I felt the quantity is very large for the price. read more

This is a definition of genetic ice cream. Nothing crazy but not great. The are so many flavors to choose from, it becomes overwhelming.

Some of the best ice cream I ever had My wife had a great blend in I had the chocolate and coconut combo read more

It smells like a bathroom cleaner when you walk in. Today the staff looked like they'd rather have a root canal. We have tried to get ice cream from Here 2x's and every time we walk out because the place smells and the customer service is lacking read more

This is my favorite ice cream shop in the area - better than Gofer, Cold Stone, and Dairy Queen. Sunny Daes is tasty and a great deal - $2.65 for a small cup/cone (Gofer's is $3.25 for a small and too sweet). They have tons of flavors for hard ice cream - and I especially love the coffee heath, cappuccino crunch, and chocolate brownie fudge. They also have great gelato - a little more expensive at $3.50 for a small/regular, but delicious for a treat, and it also has fewer calories than the hard ice cream. Sunny Daes has a great feel - bright and pastel colors, cute tables to sit at, and plenty of space to not feel crowded. In comparison, Gofer Ice Cream (next to Fin on the Post Rd.) is cramped, doesn't have as many flavors, is too expensive, too sweet, and too corporate-gimmicky feeling. Sunny Daes feels more authentic and lighthearted. read more

Though this place has a decent variety of choices however they have an extremely poor customer service. The ladies who work behind the counter are rude and not at all helpful. Specially Incase when one is new and need suggestions. You can find them making faces or being extremely cold. One pays for the product, services and experiences. Suggestion: Hire people who understand such business ethics. Else the competition is already a lot around the vicinity. read more

Love this place. Always have. I love their Pumpkin Spice ice cream around Halloween. It's always nice to grab a cone and drive to the beach, which is nearby. On summer nights, the line is literally out the door. It's always cool to see Aston Martin's and Range Rovers every time I go grab a cone. Ugh. read more

I've written about sunny daes, but the other location. Perhaps it's that a family member works here that the service seems more personable. I mean walking in we always hear "cousins!" yelled our way. I must admit it starts the experience off rather well. One of those feelings walking in when everyone knows who you are. This location is very helpful even when our person isn't on duty. Overall, I will always return to this location. read more

I enjoyed my ice cream from here! I thought it was good. Prices aren't too bad, around $4 -5 a person read more

Employees moved fast nice Hispanic guy helped us out and the girls were very nice. Would come here again.

Ordered 2 chocolate milkshakes and both were watered down and didn't taste good at all. Seems like the cheap kind where the ice cream melts fast ice milk. I'll stick to Carvel. read more

Great place for ice cream after dinner. Excellent selection of ice cream and gelato. Soft serve frozen yogurt is also available. Typical toppings, some not on display. Friendly staff. read more

This is the best ice cream place ever. Could not be more helpful and friendly! Ricky is the best forget the rest!!

Whether you're frozen or boiling, winter or summer, the ice cream at this small Fairfield ice cream spot is a favorite of families, old folks, even couples out on a date. They've got Italian gelato, frozen yogurt, hand-made ice cream, even sprinkles for the little kids. Don't forget to sit on the plastic cow out front, dribble ice cream on the horns, and take your picture with a smile only a flavor like chocolate chip-coffee overload could bring. read more

The three kids that took my order were so stoned they could barely get through my very basic order of 1 hot fudge sundae. I thought it was funny at first but after several minutes of fumbling around, myself and the other patrons were getting a little annoyed. I think they asked me about toppings 8 or 9 times. Kinda sad, going to DQ next time. read more

Must say, Sunny Daes has the best vanilla soft serve! I have a boring palette, but I even enjoy some of their awesome flavors! In Westport, it is in a great location by the library. I can go downtown, hang out with my friends, and then go to Sunny Daes! My only complaint is the price. A small shouldn't cost as much as it does at this store. That is why I only gave it 4 stars. Otherwise, I love it! This place for me and my family, is a special treat. read more

good ice cream, frozen yogurt, gelato, etc. . if you are going to Joe's next door don't bother with their desserts - just get a sundae here - much better and cheaper! i've also been to a sunny daes in stamford not far from the beach - not sure if its just a coincidence or if they are related .. this place gets packed on hot summer nights, and it has never let me down .. good stuff read more

How can you not like this place????? The cow in front the long coolers filled with great ice cream. It's a favorite for sure. The hurricane is amazing might I suggest peanut butter cups and choc ice cream. read more
