Reviews for Arethusa Farm Dairy in Bantam, CT
Worth the ride (unless you are lucky enough to live close by). Single scoops are so large you can choose two different flavors.... $6 or so for a cone which feels very fair these days. I went with old school butter pecan and it was great?nuts were stillcrunchy, not soggy. The girls couldn?t finish their (single scoop) cones so I can attest that the vanilla ice cream ticks allthe right boxes, too. We went mid-day on a Tuesday so no issue with the lines I?ve heard about on weekend evenings. Read more
Very generous portions. Comparatively not the biggest variety when we went (I think about 8 options) but my family tried four of... the different flavors and they were all delicious! 10/10 ice cream :) Read more
The service has gone down hill in the past few months. But we went to get my favorite Ice cream, couldn't get in because the... First Lady was coming in?! Then read a post from Arethusa about "what an honor it was" to have the First Lady stop by. Afterreading the praise for the wife of the man destroying our Country, along with the continued poor service ...... I won't beback. My suggestion would be to talk with the staff about customer service, stay out of politics, and just serve ice cream. Read more
This place was neat, staff was impressive and the ice cream. Ya, a whole new level of good! I found this place by Google, top... places in CT for ice cream and this was 1 of a few. So we took the drive up to Bantam, beautiful drive btw. Got here and theline was almost out the door. Many folk here enjoying HUGE servings of delicious ice cream. We got the chocolate which wassolid. The sweat cream with chocolate chips, yup good. And the fan favorite was their peach ice cream. OMG, yes that one. Wow.Seriously, that one should be registered for competition. So good, we had to take a couple pints home. We will be back! Plus,did I say the staff rocked! Read more
Without a doubt Arethusa makes some of the best ice cream I've ever had in my life. While the prices may be a tad higher than... other local businesses, they give you large enough portions that it's worth the money. My family and I have never beendisappointed with any flavor or their waffle cones, my particular favorite is Sweet Cream with Dark Chocolate Chips. But all arevery creamy and full of flavor! Staff are always very friendly and attentive to everyone, and the store is always very clean andwelcoming. We've been back many times, and will be back many more times! Read more
Possibly the best ice cream I've ever had, super creamy and I love the flavors. The cheese is excellent as well, we always pick... up at least one cheese when we stop there. Read more
The ice cream is good. Annoyed that you can?t taste test any of the flavors before getting a gigantic ice cream cone like you... can at most other ice cream places. And for a bathroom, they offer a port-a-potty in the parking lot. Read more
One of the best ice cream we've had on the East Coast! Their scoops are gigantic! Great dairy that we take back home every time... we go there. The only minus goes for double charging us for one of the items on our credit card on our last visit. We've noticedit back home. Will mention it next time we're there. But all in all 5 stars.
