Ice Cream in Ashford CT
Living in Ashford and being 40 pounds over weight I can tell you that we have a couple of ice cream stands worth finding.
Across from the Mobil gas station right there at the intersection of 74 and Route 44, there is a flower stand that sells ice cream (I think the brand is Hershey but I’m not sure) They are not noted for the ice-cream, but they sell the most beautiful flowers, plants and trees. The plants are healthy and strong and guaranteed. They have all kinds of gardening supplies and needs and just happen to sell ice cream too.
The longest standing place would be the Ashford Dairy Bar. Great place, Great Hotdogs. If you live in Ashford, it’s a true sign of spring when the sign goes up that says “We’re Open” on the Ashford Dairy Bar. This place is right on Route 44 between Pumpkin Hill Road and Whitehouse Auto. They serve soft serve ice cream and the greatest hot dogs with cheese ever served. (trust me on this I don’t like Hot dogs) hamburgers, French fires and onion rings, There are picnic tables to the side of the building to sit and watch traffic go by as your ice cream melts all over your chin. It’s a great place to bring the kids.
The next place is “We-Like-It”. It’s technically in Abington. Take Rout 44 to 97 it’s on the left. They far out win anybody selling Ice cream. If you’re on a diet don’t even bother going here. Just make up your mind that you’re going to have to diet for a week to make up for this indulgence. But trust me on this,. It will be worth every crunchy. Their ice cream is all natural, loaded with milk fat and flavor that is to die for. They have Orange Pineapple, Coconut, Squirrel Tracks, Moose Tracks, Brownie Batter, Cake Batter, Raspberry Swirl, Guernsey Cookie, Cookies and Cream, oh ya, they also have Vanilla and Chocolate too. They have the heaviest Whipped cream because again, it’s made right there and loaded with all of the milk fat you could possibly want. They have home made waffle cones that you watch them make so they are still warm when you bite into them. You can also order ice cream cakes for special occasions. They have picnic tables and a lawn that the kids can play on and a flower barn you can purchase hanging flower baskets from while you browse around the grounds
Also, I should mention that Pete’s has FINALLY reopened after being shut down for a year, this past Wednesday was their grand reopening. They sell awesome friend seafood, hamburgers, hot dogs and ice cream, Again this place also has the road side ice cream stand flair, but well worth it if you want to stop for dinner and an ice cream. It beats the heck out of McDonalds, Burger King Wendy’s etc.
If you live in Ashford, you have a few great places to choose from if you don’t feel like cooking and you want ice cream. It’s truly a great testament to living in the country.
