Tony D's Craft Creamery - Niantic

Really good fresh Ice cream spot in Niantic. The wait can be a little long during summer seasons but it's worth the wait. I love the variety of the different flavors they have to offer. A good place to stop by after a long day at the beach.

We were so lucky to find Tony D's on a hot summer night. Each of the four of us tried different flavors and everyone was happy with their choices. I had the Why You Salty? which is a salted caramel with Twix in it. Scrumptious. But I was also lucky to taste the Coffee Black which is a chocolaty coffee flavor that had the quality of espresso in it. The staff were really friendly and helpful while answering questions. There is a small grassy area behind the shop where you can relax in some chairs and there are a few things for kids to climb on. If you are in this part of Connecticut, don't miss it.

So this is THE best ice cream with the nicest staff. All homemade, generous scoops, really reasonable prices and amazing flavors. Honestly the best!

It 's a hard no! They have no hours posted. I relied on Yelp. I was there at 11:50, and the closed sign was in the window. The two workers would not even acknowledge me nor the other customer who had also just arrived. I finally got her to shout through the window, ten more minutes. I decided to wait since I had come to town just to try the ice cream. The other guy got in his truck and left. At 12:00, one of them finally opened the window and changed the sign to open. Then, she walked away! I waited another two minutes for her to come take my order. I ordered two scoops in a cup: Foster the People (Banana) and Marie Antoinette (Raspberry). Then, she disappeared again! She was gone for five minutes. In that time, two other customers came and left. She finally came back with my ice cream. This hard ice cream has a whole other definition of hard. It was too hard to eat with the plastic spoon they gave me. I felt like an animal working for my food. Then I realized what took her so long. She had to put in a lot of elbow grease to scoop that ice cream, which was in no way scooped. It was of just mashed into the cup. The raspberry was on top. I 'm not sure what it tasted like; but what I am sure it did not taste at all like was raspberry. The banana was underneath. It did have a good flavor. This was the absolute only redeeming quality of this experience and the part that earns the single star. Absent of the flavor of the banana ice cream, it would have been a no-star experience. Go any place else for ice cream!

The ice cream tastes home made, I didn't ask if it was, it just tasted like it. Expensive tho, very expensive.
