    Lacroix’s Homemade Ice Cream - The most delicious s'mores and black raspberry chocolate chip ice cream

    Don't judge the ice cream by the store front. It just reads "ice cream" and next to an indoor…read moresports complex and a restaurant in an industrial looking store front, it would be easy to dismiss. Don't. This is excellent home made ice cream that has just enough creative flavors to satisfy the curious but has established the standards with a high quality to draw the purists. I loved my mint Oreo ice cream and cookie dough flavor too. The s'mores was not overwhelmingly sweet and had the right mix of marshmallow, graham cracker and chocolate. Service was quick and friendly. Seating is fine outside but we saw a lot of people eating in their cars. Still loved this place. Big thumbs up.

    Pulled into the old Marlin Rockwell industrial site, converted to small businesses…read more Be careful of potholes when you pull in, and the layout is a little different. On the far right of the old conversion of the building, sits Lacroix's ice cream shop When I parked in front of the building, there were no cars and looked closed, even walking up to the building. There's a small "open" sign displayed in the window, but with the dark tinted windows and doors, it looked closed. Checking the sign showed that it was open, closed on Mondays. I pulled on the door and....oh my goodness the place was open! Surprise! Greeted warmly by the staff, a quick look at the menu and I ordered one scoop of black raspberry chocolate chip ice cream, and one scoop of S'mores As my two scoops of ice cream was being prepared, the nice young lady at the front rang me up. It was a little over six dollars for the two scoops plus I left a 20% tip so I'm thinking this was some around eight bucks. They do take tap and credit card pay. Once I received my ice cream order, I proceeded outside to sit at one of the picnic tables on the right hand side of the business This little area is interesting, as it was at one time an industrial manufacturing facility, and the owners don't seem to be trying to make it welcoming. So this business installed a few picnic tables and flower boxes, who h made it somewhat inviting. But I'm still sitting in the parking lot. The s'mores ice cream was so creamy, marshmallow based with a lovely creamy, delightful, vanilla ice cream, graham crackers and pieces of chocolate chips added. This choice, as I was told, is of the more popular choices . I would strongly suggest trying this flavor out. Now, the black raspberry chocolate chip ice cream was some of the best I ever had. So creamy, so raspberry, so chocolate, so sweet! Plus, I loved how the s'mores melted into this flavor, making a wonderful combination in that cup. This place is a great destination if you want ice cream in Plainville. I just wish it was in a better location. As I was sitting there eating my ice cream, the place did start to fill up with guests I don't like the plaza location that it sits in, it seems a little too industrial and not welcoming. I didn't like that the place looked closed. Maybe a lighted open sign would work better. I didn't like the perceived snap from the manager, when I said, the place looked closed when I walked in the place. He was argumentative to a point. I loved the ice cream. Homemade and on point, some of the best in central Connecticut. I love the way the inside was decorated, and the easy to read wall menu I'll come back. Hopefully I can see a nice flashing or illuminated "open" sign in the window. I think that would benefit the business a lot.

    "I'll build a house of gingerbread someday And bring my…read moresugar cookie home to stay" (Stevie Wonder) Beware of cuteness overload when you cross paths with Cookie Ranger because adorableness will engulf you wherever you look. 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.

    I came here for the first time and the location is great. Lots of parking and spacious inside…read more Service was nice as well. I ordered the m&m cookie and the stuffed peanut butter cookie, and was very surprised that my bill was $13 for two cookies. The taste was good but not worth the price I paid. I did come here again to try their nitrogen ice cream and it was very good and freshly made.
