Came here twice for ice cream and both nights were delicious! Service was friendly and ridiculously fast! The first night there wasn't much of a line but we went back on Saturday and there was a lot of people but the line moved quickly. There's not a lot of parking but you can park over at the snack shack too. There's tons of picnic tables to sit and it's a nice spot to watch the sunset. read more

Oh how I love twisters! It's finally back open for the 2026 season! Perfect outdoor seating (only), you go up and order at the window and they'll call out your number. Right on the water, so you have perfect views. They serve hard and soft serve with lots of toppings. It's always high school/college kids working but they've always been nice and respectful! Takes Apple Pay too :) read more

Twisters Ice Cream - Twist with sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mystic, Connecticut

Rating: 4.5 Delicious and reasonably priced ice cream! $5 for a single scoop. The ice cream was thick and creamy and tasted fresh. The oreo had a fair amount of oreo pieces in it; the cookie dough didn't have much cookie dough in it (hence the .5 star). There's plenty of picnic table seating and it's by the water which is nice. Service was fast-- by the time my boyfriend was ordering after me, my scoop was ready. Totally recommend and it was pretty close to the Mystic Seaport Museum. read more

The ice cream was very good and the workers there were very polite. My family and I all liked our ice cream. I would definitely come back. Unfortunately there was no bathrooms. It was raining, but there was still outdoor seating underneath a cover. It had a scenic view. I loved this place. read more

Had the pistachio ice cream at Twisters Ice Cream and it was fantastic! Super creamy, rich flavor, and just the right amount of sweetness. The staff was friendly. A perfect stop on a warm day and right after getting fish and chips across the lot. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors! read more

We stopped by Twisters after lunch at Sea View Snack Bar (just next door) for a dessert on that warm day! It's a charming and retro ice cream stand, so we couldn't resist a sweet treat after our seafood lunch. They are more of a hard ice cream spot (lots of hard ice cream flavors but only vanilla, chocolate, and swirl for soft serve), but that cake one of vanilla soft serve really hit the spot. What could beat enjoying some soft serve with a view of Mystic River? Definitely stop by for a sweet treat if you're visiting Mystic! read more

Twisters is a quick drive from downtown Mystic and has super delicious ice cream that you can eat while overlooking a beautiful water view. Prices are super reasonable and even if there is a line it moves really quick! There's also a ton of seating so once you get your ice cream, you can sit with your group and enjoy the view while you eat. read more

Good value for the money. I would Definitely come Back again. My kids enjoyed their flavors. read more

Super cute ice cream stand near Mystic Aquarium. Like many others we discovered Twisters while eating lunch at SeaView Snack Bar. This spot is right on the water and they have a pretty decent amount of picnic tables and seating to choose from. I am a sucker for soft serve so went with a twist in a cup. Super tasty! They do have plenty of more elaborate options as well like sundaes with all the toppings or more intricate flavors than chocolate and vanilla. But sometimes the classic is the way to go. The employee was friendly and the ice cream was ready quickly! I would certainly stop by again. read more

We came across Twisters after having lunch at Sea View Snack Bar. There are plenty of picnic tables to enjoy the view and consume the delicious ice cream. Also, there is plenty room for parking. I had a small Arctic Blast (Ice cream blended with Rainbow Sprinkles and Oreo) and my husband had a peanut butter supreme treat. The ice cream was soft and we enjoyed every single bite. The staff was friendly and very fast. read more

Great view and location! Definitely worth a try. If you love ice cream with a view then this is for you!! read more

Very cute. Very reasonable prices and they actually offer soft serve. Pickings for hard ice cream flavors at the end of a Sunday were slim but we were happy to have something else. Friendly people behind the counter as well. read more

The soft serve was decent. The best reason to walk to this place is to enjoy the views. They and the seafood shack net door have some great views of the river and its not crowded like it is the downtown Mystic area. read more

The best of the best! I'm obsessed with soft serve these days and this is true Americana and cheap!!! Are: Twist with fudge and whipped cream Chocolate with fudge and whipped cream Both 3.75 each The freshness of the dairy balanced by the fudge- orgasmic. I must say the twist was slightly more complex but this is American dummer in a cup and very needed these days! read more

Sweet little spot in Mystic to visit and sit by the Mystic river and enjoy some wonderful treats. Owners keep the place spotless and well cared for and the service is excellent. I highly recommend it when you're in Mystic. read more

Parking was slightly tiny and tight, the menu was small and written in marker even smaller, the treats were delicious but the small size was just that, but the price was big for the smallness that took place. read more

Twisters is adjacent to Sea View Snack Bar. Each has their own parking lot, but they share a picnic area between them. The menu is a little chaotic to read, so if you're pondering let someone else go in front of you. They have soft serve and hard ice cream - the hard is smooth and creamy, much better then anything you can pull out of a freezer. It's a good end to your seafood meal from Sea View! read more

Small stand right next to the water serving both soft and hard ice cream from Windsor SB Dairy in Rhode Island. Their is not a ton of flavors, but they have a bunch of creative flavors. The ice cream is pretty good and they have (what I think are) homemade waffle cones as well As far as seating goes, they have a bunch of picnic tables with umbrellas on them, and they also have a small section of picnic tables that are covered by a tarp in case of rain. Ice Cream: 8/10 Overall: 5/10 read more

Good ice cream and nice staff. Lots of flavors and topping to choose from. Prices are reasonable too. This place is conveniently located on the main road night next to (and in fact sharing some seating space) with the Sea View Snack Bar, which makes it a great place to grab some ice cream after you've had some good eats at the snack bar. The main road also goes to the Seaport which is great stop to and/or from. Feel free to stop by and grab some ice cream while taking in some great views by the water. read more

Good variety of ice creams, soft and hard. Nice sundae creations as well. Generous and gives 10% off with your Sea View receipt. They also share the same wonderful picnic bench seating that overlooks the water. Dinner and dessert. They made a fantastic waffle bowl salted caramel sundae (see picture) that managed to taste even better than it looked! Another thing to note was the generosity of the employee. It was daughter's birthday and she dropped the cherry from our sundae. I walked back over to ask for another and he happily gave her a small bowl of them. Thank you for making her night!! read more

Woohoo - yeah I love soft serve. I've been here several times and I'm a fan. Their prices are up there - but as a tourist trap - they do a good job at trapping even non tourist. I recommend their artic blast (McFlurry aka Dairy Queen special). They've got a super Nice view with a seating area. It's conveniently right near by a seafood shack. read more

The soft serve ice cream was flavorless. Better off going to the Mcdonald's down the road for soft serve.

Old school soft serve with a view! Plenty of space and picnic tables outside with views of the ocean, family friendly too. Only downfall is the very tiny parking lot that is bumper to bumper, so be careful on a hot day. read more

Ice cream on the water! What's not to love... friendly service and good choices. Will try the root beer float next time.

Ice cream shop with a beautiful view of the river. There are plenty of picnic tables to enjoy the view which you wolf down the ice cream. My son and I shared a medium arctic blast (twist soft serve with health bar) and it was delicious and plentiful for the both of us! The picnic tables all have a great view of the river. Note, Sea View Snack Bar is next door so you can always have your meal and then come over here for dessert. Can't beat it. read more

I am giving them a four star rating. There was no line, fast service, nice view, Ice cream and mocha frappe were good. Nice portions for the cost. Now to evaluate the ice cream. Was creamy and sweet. The mocha frappe seemed like it had fresh whipped cream, and you can definitely taste the presence of the mocha. But a little too thick to drink with a straw I had to use the spoon that was provided with my purchase. I would go there again. read more

The only thing this place has going for it, is the ample space for seating and view. and the really nice young staff he hires. otherwise this place is below adequate. There is a stingy older man, who Im going to surmise is the owner, who does the ice cream prep and 2 younger staff, one that takes your order and the other that takes the pmt and gives you your order. They are very sweet kids but the look of panic that comes across their faces when you ask for something "not standard" is very telling. we went one hot summer day after going on a Mystic River tour "OH LOOK what a cute place with seating!" when you first approach you notice the well kept seating, no trash and the nice view. as you look closer you notice instructional signs everywhere. "dont do this" "dont do that" etc etc. "no sitting for non patrons" etc etc. it was dismiss-able until we ordered and then it all made sense. the older gentleman is brutal. we asked if they has peanut butter sauce and they did! YAY! we asked to try a little to see if it was good. the girl's face went blank and she sort of stammers... "uhh..." as she turns to the older guy (known as OG henceforth) she says to him that we want to try the PB sauce. She says it as a whisper - again, very telling. and 'm watching him, he says "what?!" she says it again and he bends down to look down out the window at me!! WTAF????? so I kinda do the "yeah whats the problem bub?" shrug at him.. you think I was asking for a bucket of cash. ITS A DRIP OF PB SAUCE! he gives is, literally, and Im not kidding, one tiny drop in a plastic cup. ONE DROP, it wasn't even the size of a chocolate chip. well that drop tasted good to my wife so we ordered: 1 medium chocolate ice cream with PB topping. the place isn't cheap, it's not over the top either but I didnt care if its good! I recall the PB sauce was like .75 extra - ok fine. the ice cream scoop was a modest medium, I would've thought it was a small, but ok fine. and there was about 1/2 shot glass of PB SAUCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously? you stingy M....#&$(#^(^&*^^@)-er!! YOU OWN AN ICE CREAM PLACE!!!!!!!!! its supposed to be fun, gooey and pleasant. You are miserable, stingy, controlling and from the outside looking in, a horrific boss. they are all scared of you! I kept my composure and went up to BUY extra sauce the OG bends to look at me again and I just raised my brows at him. what's the problem?? I dont feel like arguing so I want to BUY extra sauce so there's some with every taste of ice cream. He gives the girl, again, literally, 2 measured teaspoon fulls in a plastic condiment cup to give me. :\ I gave up. took it and we will never return. as we sat there were 2 or 3 other "exchanges" that happened too... one woman saying to him "IS THIS A LARGE???" pointing to her son's cone. and another asking about the wrong order he gave her and him basically saying "yeah that's a mistake" and making no motion to correct it - waiting her out to grow a set to have to ASK to correct it. seriously man, get yourself together, lighten the fk up and enjoy life more - YOU SERVE ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!! ................or maybe you shouldn't, sell the business and let someone else make kid's days brighter. read more

This place gets five stars just for the view! It's right on the water and you have a GORGEOUS view of the sunset in the evening! The employees were super friendly and very patient with my very active five year old. They have soft serve, frozen yogurt (which they had run out of by 6:30pm), and blizzard style desserts. Tons of seating, great views, and they have the Sea Shack right across the way. read more

Love! Always a pleasant experience and delicious ice cream. I'm a local and prefer this ice cream stand to any others in Mystic. Plus plenty of parking, beautiful ocean view while eating, and even a snack bar next door if you want some dinner first. The soft serve is my favorite with cherry dip. Always perfect and great prices! read more

Cute little ice cream shack on the side of a main road. There was parking in the back which was perfect. You get a lovely view while enjoying your delectable dessert. A scoop is definitely a little more than just a scoop so that's always a plus when I get more ice cream for my buck. I tried the classic cookie dough and I have to say the ratio was a bit off. There wasn't as much cookie dough as you would get from Ben and Jerry's. The ice cream was very rich and smooth though. read more

Wow, great ice cream! We had the vanilla ice cream in a waffle bowl. It was super tasty and fresh! If your in the area, give this place a shot. The cream was delicious. There is outdoor seating also and plenty of parking. Also, right next door is the sea view snack bar. The food there is awesome! If you eat there, twister gives you 10% off the ice cream tab. Both are great places. Give it a try if your around. read more

service was quick and the workers were friendly, but this was some of the worst ice cream i've ever had. the oreo ice cream was entirely freezer burnt and tasted just horrible. it was watery, and there were ice crystals throughout the entire scoop. so not only was the taste bad, the texture was awful too. maybe this is just me being picky, but my cone tasted stale and fell apart as the ice cream melted onto it. prices are way too expensive for the amount of ice cream received, and the quality of the product. really wish i could give a better review because of the fantastic customer service. the worker who took my order was friendly and patient while i decided what i wanted, and the worker who gave me my ice cream was quick to correct my order when it came out in a cup instead of a cone. read more
