Dzen Garden Market

Eh, the soft serve is okay. Nothing special, they do have lots of flavors but it seems like all they do is mix in flavoring into either the vanilla or chocolate.

I went here on a Sunday evening for ice cream. After I called and confirmed they were an ice cream shop among other things, I was somewhat disappointed to be informed when I inquired at the window that they are actually only a soft serve shop. I am definitely an ice-​cream-​over-​soft-​serve fan, but I tried it out nonetheless.
For a soft serve shop, they offer a full menu. I got a small crème de menthe cone which was creamy, tasty, and fulfilling. The cone was as expected. I made a slight mistake in not locating napkins, so definitely do that if you go on a hot 90-​degree summer day.
Bottom line: Recommended for soft serve by an ice cream fan! (But definitely do not go expecting ice cream.)

I grew up in the area, and have been visiting since I was a child. As kids we use to gather up enough change to go buy cones at Dzens. I’m flad their still around. They have good ice cream and a nice selection of fresh produce and plants/​flowers.

I can’t vouch for most if the flavors and I’m not going to compare this place to others. The gem on this menu is the peanut butter soft serve. Get a kiddie size with chocolate sprinkles (they’re included) and you will leave with a delicious, rich treat. Try to get over that you’re being served by teenagers on summer break that are sometimes less than thrilled to be there. That’s kind of the scene at local ice creameries. Again, avoid the creepy flavors like tutti fruity or other odd options. Get what’s good.

Ok the peanut butter ice cream with chocolate sprinkles its really good… really really good. The parking is bad and the fruit like the other post said is hit or miss. If you want family friendly and a better set up go to Burke Ridge Farms down the street. The serving size is crazy if you want regular get the kiddie size.

After all the hype about this place, my husband and I decided to try it. One word: DISAPPOINTING. I got the pumpkin flavored soft serve and at first it was very flavorful, but soon after, the flavor disappeared! Smyths Ice Cream Stand in Enfield is MUCH better.

I have no idea what all of these reviewers are talking about. 1) all of the times i’ve gotten ice cream here it has been amazingly creamy and rich. 2) i’ve tried blueberry, amaretto, peanut butter and peppermint and all tasted like the flavors they claimed to be. 3) it’s ridiculously cheap compared to say friendlys or coldstone. i paid like 8.50 for 2 regular sized cones and a dish. 4) if the size is too big for you, get a kiddie size or don’t eat it all.
I love this place. It’s always crowded and a good place to go on a hot day.
Also, of course the fruits and veggies are going to be inconsistent. if they are sourcing from local farms their is going to be variety over the course of the season and between farms.

I go to Dzen’s primarily for their fresh fruits and veggies. Dzen’s gets 3 stars because of inconsistency. Sometimes the blueberries and strawberries are out of this world. Other times they are just awful.
The service is just ok. I’ve never tried their soft serve, but I’m very nervous to do so based on these reviews.

On a hot day, this is a good little spot to pick up a quick cone and relax outside. I know that they advertise a ton of flavors, but I usually only order a vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles. I can’t vouch for those other flavors, but the plain cone is delicious and the serving size is ridiculous. I ordered a small cone, but I’m thinking I should have chosen the kiddie size.

Read the previous post and was hoping it was a one time deal. Three of us went and got blueberry, coconut and cotton candy soft serve. They ALL tasted like vanilla. Such a disappointment!

I have driven by here a few times and noticed that along with plants they offer something like 40 different flavors of soft serve ice cream. That sounded interesting so when the heat wave hit last weekend we went over to give it a try. I was extremely disappointed. I don’t know how it is possible to mess up ice cream but they have figured it out. I got a vanilla/​chocolate twist cone dipped in chocolate. From what I remember the cone was $ 2.80 and an extra .55 for the chocolate dip. The cone was huge and way more ice cream than I needed. I think they advertised it as being 8 oz., but that isn’t really the point. The ice cream had NO discernible flavor. I could not tell the difference between the chocolate and vanilla. Even the chocolate dip didn’t really taste like chocolate. I was with two other people, one tried the cheesecake ice cream and another raspberry. The same phenomena existed. Didn’t really have much of a flavor. A very disappointing experience and they don’t have a large selection of plants either.
