Collins Creamery, located on a bucolic hilltop, is a perfect place to grab an afternoon scoop of homemade ice cream. The carrot cake ice cream had a creamy, flavorful carrot cake flavored base studded with small pieces of cake. While a small cone (pictured here) was a touch pricey at $4, the creamy richness of the ice cream left me feeling satisfied. Will definitely be back to try their other flavors (such as brownie batter ice cream with Oreo pieces)(deciding on just one was so hard)
This is a Great place for ice cream. Lots flavors to choose from. I have only had the hard ice cream, but they do have soft. Its not cheep but I think you are getting a very good product for the price. We live west of the connecticut river about 1/2 hour + drive and still make it here a few times a year.
Very good. Great with family and friends and the ice cream tastes great! Lots of flavors such as Coconut Chocolate Chip and theyve got waffle cones!
This is one of the best ice cream places Ive ever had the pleasure of visiting. Besides the great ice cream and variety of toppings theres also a great view here that you just dont see at other ice cream places.
First time there, and the ice cream was excellent. This place is best experienced on a nice day, seating is outdoor picnic tables on a farm. If youre craving ice cream look no further. Its off the beaten path but Google maps will get you there.
A longtime local staple! Great variety of flavors. The mix has a bit more air and a bit less flavor over the years even though prices have gone way up, though still the best ice cream in the area by far.
Ice Cream was delicious, area where you can eat has nice tables and umbrellas. My son loved the little play train they had to climb all over. Its on a farm so of course it smelled like cows (Which I dont mind) but it wouldve been fun to see the cows!
Absolutely great. Ice cream is excellent, great pumpkin picking, and they sell frozen at a good price.
Love this place! The frozen yogurt is delish and the staff is always pleasant.
Excellent ice cream. Bring a cooler to take some home
Great flavors, good prices. Delicious low sugar and dairy free options too. And doggie ice cream too. Best local ice cream place.
I got the raspberry sorbet, I enjoyed it and the service was friendly. However, my husbands mint ice cream was super airy, which maybe some people like, but it really just tasted like frozen cool whip. That was super disappointing as it hardly seemed like ice cream.
Never in my life have I ever had the most deelish frozen yogurt. What a lovely farm dairy bar. Wait staff so friendly and accommodating. Absolutely loved it.
The best ice cream. Staff is so pleasant and they remember us from last year. Enjoy sitting there and can see the cows in the distance. Also Lena the golden retriever meets us and sits with us when were there.and I make sure to get a cone to give her.
Delicious ice cream. And nice socially distanced places to sit with family and friends, definitely a recommend. 10 dollar minimum for card purchases plan accordingly!!
Always a hit. Bring your family, loved ones, invite friends & their kids. Wide (really wide) selection of fresh flavors.
Delicious!! Love the vanilla & sweet cream to bring home in pints, milkshakes and the pup cups for my dog. My favorite ice cream in CT.
Wanted peanut butter and they had Collins mud but not very peanut buttery at all. Tasted okay but .... Also a bit expensive.. I understand its a family business but 2 scoops for 5.75?
Great local ice cream place with some unique flavors.
Good ice cream, nice people. Its good all around.
Great ice cream! Best place for sundaes and milkshakes. Cute little play tractor for kids.
One of the best hidden place. Awesome and very tasty.
Always super yummy and the staff are always super friendly!
Amazing ice cream and a nice family atmosphere
Nice getaway to the country with a delicious ice cream sundae to finish a beautiful day.
Plenty of room to keep yourself socially distant. Plenty of picnic tables that are well within the expectations of the current conditions of the pandemic. Employees were all wearing masks correctly everybody kept their space.Ice cream is awesome my dog was a big fan of the doggy ice cream. weve been here a few times and plan on going here plenty more.
Nice setting if you are just wanting to relaxe outside however I was very disappointed with my mint chocolate chip ice cream. My wife handed me a pint of take home and it was as light as air. It was quite flavorless actually with just a little sweetness( much like cool whip). In fact, it melted into a froth, not a thick liquid like a quality thick ice cream would... Certainly not quality but maybe worth trying for those who like really light ice cream (much lighter than bryers). Opposite end of sprectrum from Costco vanilla or haagen dazs. Maybe this has more cream in it..
Love their ice cream. Great service as well.
Always good service selection of flavors
They have the best Ive cream in the area!
Great tasting ice cream!! On a farm with picnic tables its October huge pumpkin patch you can pick from, buy compost and check out the horses. They have a farm dog which makes the visit great he comes and says hi. Definitely not disappointed. This was my 3 rd time here.
Love Collins Creamery! The farm setting is beautiful and quaint. Their homemade hard ice cream is delicious and they offer several unique flavors. Between the setting and the high-quality ice cream, you can’t go wrong with Collins Creamery.
Delicious ice cream! Baileys Bomb is the bomb!
The Brownie Sundae is delicious!! The Ice cream is so creamy!
Collins is a dreamy little scoop of heaven, on the quieter side of town.Made fresh and local, their Ice Cream is simply the best. It puts the cherry on top so to speak.Meeting up with friends or family, watching the cows graze and the sun set-- helps us busy people slow down for just a little while.Collins friendly and quick service is unbeatable. They even have a friendly farm dog who wanders around to greet the guests.Homey. Delicious. Friendly. Family First.If you want all this and sprinkles on top...head over to Collins Creamery.
Delicious just plain delicious
Best ice cream around
Yum! Great place, easy parking, and delicious ice cream!
Highly recommend! Loved it
Great Ice Cream! The location is beautiful.
Great selection, unique flavors, rustic setting. It is a dairy farm, so expect cow smells.
Always delicious, high butterfat ice cream PLUS a great view of the fields and barns
When you think ice cream, think Collins Creamery. With all those flavors, making a decision on which one you want is the only problem. The line is always long, but with 4 windows open, it moves quickly. And believe me you need the time to make that important decision.
Delicious. Great selection and nice looking farm. My daughter really wanted to play on the playground. Sorry Covid-19
Always great ice cream
Always good flavors.
Only down side and its a big one. To many awesome flavors to try! Bring cash, otherwise you may empty you bank account!
Great ice cream cool spot
This place is super cute. There are a few benches to sit at and you can even watch the cows while you eat. The variety of ice creams are good and they even have things if youre lactose intolerant.
Best ice cream I’ve ever had! Puts Friendlys to shame. The people that work here are always friendly and polite. Don’t hesitate to come here.
Love love this place...best ice cream
Taste is good 👍 😋
Okay place… spoon they gave me cut my lip.
This place is nestled in a quiet area. We would have never found it except for I was looking for ice cream places on my phone. What a great place!!! Ice cream was fantastic. Servers were so patient and friendly. It was worth the drive. We will definitely be going back when warm weather arrives in the summer!!
Great ice cream. Plenty of parking and plenty of places to sit COVID compliant. Nice views and nice breeze
Great place to get ice cream and other frozen treats. Great area and easy access
How can you not love one of the hometown creameries.
The best icecream!
Every flavor and then some. Great ice cream. Sugar free and sorbet. Bring Cash!!!!
All those ratings I had to come check this place out.Friendly staff and great variety of options.However, I left unsatisfied and underwhelmed.The ice cream flavors I ordered were mint chip and cookie dough. Both were very cold and pretty tasty. Not enough chocolate chips in either and few cookie dough pieces in the latter. I ordered them as part of the brownie sundae, though, and that brownie was more of a sponge with no flavor and did not complement anything in the sundae. Disappointing.Im sure people might really enjoy this place but Ive had a lot better elsewhere and closer to where I live.If youre in the area go here more of as a last resort. Nothing too special imo.The scenery was beautiful however.
Collins Creamery, by far, has the best ice cream in this area. If youre looking for a cool treat on a hot summer night, look no further.
So lucky to live close to this gem. Best ice cream anywhere with a pretty landscape. We especially love bringing home half gallons of toasted almond. A summer must!
Homemade icecream is very good. Plenty of outdoor seating.
Fresh, delicious, local, friendly, reasonably priced. Great selection of flavors, including 3 no sugar added flavors the day I went. Will be back soon!
I love ice cream spots on farms. There is nothing better than sitting up under the tree at sunset with ice cream! Our dog loves the doggie sundae!
This is my new favorite ice cream place. The have a wide selection of ice creams, maybe too wide of a selection I recommend you bring someone who has been there to tell you what to get or just get black raspberry :). While eating ice cream you can view their cows and other farm animals. Their prices are fair but be aware there is no card reader CASH ONLY. I recommend a visit with your friends, you will not regret it.
Great flavor selection with some unique offerings, fun family farm environment. A bit pricey, but so delicious!
Yum. Its rare to get to eat real home-made ice cream. Besides the ice-cream itself being great, the location is awesome. Beautiful outdoor setting on a farm, I got greeted by their ambassador - big golden lab who comes up to my car door as I am getting out. And then the ice creams - great flavors, creamy and smooth. A guilty pleasure
Perfect family time great friendly service super good ice cream you must visit this place
Delicious old fashioned ice cream! A friend introduced me to this place last year and we have went this year. Butter crunch! Yum! Dogs are welcome and friendly. Nice area to sit and enjoy the outside while your children play on the playscape.
10 dollar Card Minimum
Great place, fathers day tradition to get ice cream here! Awesome service and ice cream.
Best ice cream in Connecticut!!!
Love Collins. Always friendly staff and all of their ice cream is delicious!!
The chocolate chip I got had hardly any chips, so I took it back and asked for something different. The teenage girl was very rude about it. No apologies and didn’t even say you’re welcome after she handed it to me and I thanked her. Can’t get a person when you call, so figured I would post this here.
Very tasty ice cream! A little off the beaten path, but worth wandering around to find it.
As the sign out front advertises, The Collins Creamery is on the quiet side of town, where you can enjoy ice cream amidst the mooing of Holsteins rather than the rumble of automobile engines. Adjacent to the Collins homestead, this farm stand has been dishing out over 20 flavors of freshmade ice cream since 1997. If you are the kind of ice cream consumer who has trouble committing to just one flavor, you will undoubtedly appreciate the savvy sampler boat, which allows you to try 4 scoops for less than $5.
Great Ice Cream
Love, love, love it. Absolutely delicious ice-cream and friendly atmosphere. My daughter waits for summer to enjoy her ice-cream treats and little play area they have. Best ice-cream in town!
A sweet and creamy treat after a hike along the Scantic River.
Great ice cream, great consistent flavors to select. I really like the hot fudge. The sweet cream ice cream is my new favorite.
This place has amazing ice cream and a beautiful rural setting.
Their homemade ice cream was wonderful Fast service even though the line was long. Place was very clean.
Best ice cream place Ive ever been too. I wish I could bring some back with me to Canada. If youre in the area definitely check it out!! The toasted almond is my favorite. Black raspberry and cookies and cream are good too!
