I had the privilege of visiting the store yesterday and was so glad I did. My wife and family and I sampled some aged, blue cheese and fresh cheeses and ice cream (cant go wrong there). The cheeses and ice cream were all delicious and with the options they had there you could easily find one for your palate. We also had the opportunity to see the cows in their home as well. Having worked on dairy farms and currently working in the dairy industry, I must say, the place was amazing. The cows were comfortably chewing their cud while the farm employees tended to the barn with great detail. I cant wait to taste more of the cheese from some of the pieces we bought to take home. I would recommend this to anyone to visit! Dont forget to visit their neighboring restaurant (we were short on time but its on my list) as well.

Stopped in at lunch to grab a one scoop in an waffle cone. I got a half scoop of Coconut w Chocolate and then a half scoop of the Chocolate with Dark chocolate chunks because I couldnt decide. I loved both but if I had to pick one Id get the Coconut w Chocolate again all day. The waffle cone was fantastic and probably the best Ive ever had. The shop was clean and the two ladies that were working were super friendly and helpful. They also have coolers with their other products such as Milk (regular and flavored), goat cheese and ice cream. Great job!

Wow. My wife and I were in the area looking for lunch but the smell of the freshly made cake cones wafting into the street from Arethusa was so irresistible that we ended up having a backwards lunch. The shop set-up is really cool because you can see where the ice cream (and perhaps some of the other locally-sourced dairy products they offer) is made. Really interesting and delicious ice cream flavors, too. My wife had the sweet cream and dark chocolate and I had the coconut and dark chocolate. Well definitely be back the next time were in the area.

Incredibly luscious, creamy ice cream-- the best Ive ever eaten. The handmade-in-store waffle cones are to die for; you can smell them as soon as you get out of your car in the parking lot. My current favorite flavor is the chocolate chip coconut. So. GOOD. But be warned! The secret of this place is out, and if you come on a Saturday or Sunday evening the line will stretch right to the door. Is it worth the wait? ABSOLUTELY!

They only have about 10 flavors of ice cream but all of them are delicious. The waffle cones are hand made and fresh. There was a rather long line but it moved very quickly. The glass wall towards the back lets you see all the equiptment they use to make their products really made this place stand out. I cant wait to go back next time. Ill have to sample some of the artisan cheeses ... they looked wonderful.

They are a real Dairy not just Ice Cream, but Ice Cream is what pulled me in today. I wanted their Coffee Milk Shake. It was great as normal. I also bought some of their half and half for my coffee and I got a pint of their coffee mild. The half and half i have bought many times and know it to be high quality and good. The coffee milk I look forward too.

Definitely worth a stop... creamy, delicious. Not overly sweet. They dont offer toppings, but after one taste, you realize this ice cream doesnt need anything to cover up its amazing flavor. The portions are crazy generous, a double is huge, but the prices are so reasonable.

All the ice cream flavors Ive tried there have been good, but the strawberry ice cream is far and away the best Ive ever tasted. Their cheeses are excellent (especially the Tapping Reeve), and the milk is like nothing youve ever had. Top notch!

Why the honest hell would I pay $3.99 for a small cup of coffee to make it myself?? At the very least make the stupid thing for me. Not to mention the coffee sucked. I am so disappointed that this is the store replacing the bantam coffee shop.

We stopped in for ice cream and it was good but the prices were a bit high even compared to other farms serving their own fresh ice cream. They also sell a variety of their own products including cheeses, sour cream, and milk.

The staff were very comedic and helpful with all our questions. The ice cream speaks for itself. If youre lucky, youll get your ice cream in a warm waffle come that they just made. A great addition to any summer!

Hands down, no argument, best milkshake Ive ever had, not to mention the ice cream! Dont miss this place. And even better go see the cows in person if you get the chance. Great experience.

Large delicious inexpensive ice cream cones. Will definitely come back. Farm to cone. Go meet the cows Saturday afternoons till 2:30 and thank them for producing such incredible ice cream.

The very best ice cream around. Very creamy. Not too many flavours but nice selection. Best of all, the waffle cones are only 25 cents. Worth a trip out of the way.

Best ice cream Ive ever had and awesome cheeses. We live about 45 min away now and will still occasionally make the drive to Arethusa just for the ice cream.

The very best in CT. Go down the road to the farm on Saturday mornings to meet the cows that produce all of that excellent fresh milk.
