I’m a big fan of ice cream I wish they would make the ice cream in house. The ice cream here is okay to me not a huge fan I’ve been in a few times a few times the staff wasn’t inviting to me or really friendly the last few times I’ve gone in the staff was very friendly and the waffles were being made which smelled so good that I just had to buy one I made a salted caramel sundae which was pretty good! I wish I could get the hours down pat cause they changed the hours for winter and I just seem to miss them to get a waffle sundae again! Maybe in the future the ice cream can be made there which would be a big bonus!
I returned to Berry’s and Laura made me the best waffle sundae the waffle was fresh baked and I had a tall ships sundae which was the salted caramel ice cream with hot caramel and topped with candied pecans!!! So amazing now I’m hooked! I hope they stay open all year round, but for that to happen I need everyone’s help! I need everyone to stop by and support the small local businesses! So be sure to stop by and try the tall ships sundae or anyone sundae!

So many good flavors and such nice people.
Creamy, delicious and just superior ice cream. You can’t go wrong here!
We had the mint chip, vanilla chip, strawberry-​and chocolate ice creams. The chip ice creams were just chock full of chips. While the strawberry had bits of the berry oh so yummy. All had a fresh homemade taste and oh so flavorful.
We took our grandchildren on a trip to Groton, ct. One of them is allergic to tree and peanuts. So, before our trip I called a few ice cream places in the area to scope out a safe place for us. Well, I hit the jackpot when I called Berry ice cream not only because of the wonderful ice cream being served there but because of the great owner. Laura, the owner answered the phone and she explained that she is quite familiar with all sorts of allergy concerns from her friends and their children. She said that she can sanitize the scoop. When I said that I was concerned about cross contamination from a previous scoop and scooper she offered to open a brand new, unopened container of whatever flavor we wanted. All we needed to do was wait a short time to let it come to the proper temperature to scoop. I called her 15 minutes before we arrived at the store and true to her word she had a new unused container ready for us. Talk about going the extra mile and great customer service. She made my grandson feel like one of the gang. I am so grateful to her and her kindness.

Ice cream this good is not a treat, it’s a summer evening must. The choices here are plentiful, and the toppings so complete we felt like kids in a candy store on the sunny Monday evening we visited to cap off dinner on the beach. The house-​made waffle cones & bowls were just the first hard choice to make, but so fresh crisp & flavorful I’m glad I didn’t opt for a dish. Then, the real Ice CREAM was divine. Flavor 1: coffee. My childhood fav, this version was as good as the 1st morning sip in a creamy not grainy ice cream. Perfect Consistency & sweet yet robust like a satisfying cup of java. Flavor 2: Chocolate peanut butter. Creamy with rich dark chocolate flavor and the swirls of peanut butter were just right. As good as a frozen peanut butter cup or better. Flavor 3: sea salt butter pecan. Individually they are flavors that never disappoint. Combined into one decadent flavor, each bite was a sweet treat. Next, the atmosphere… Downtown New London is made better by the smiling cheerful service of Teresa Berry & her staff. They cheerfully greeted every customer old, young and 4-​footed that came through even though it was nearing sunset & closing time. They keep the line moving while people choose and every inch of the store was clean, bright and welcoming. Even the sidewalk tables & chairs were spotless! This business wants you to enjoy your time in downtown NL. We certainly did… I’ll be back to try those tempting milkshake combos on the board soon!

Awesome milkshakes on our way out of town. Monday is BOGO ½ off milkshake day! Excellent excuse to go in. The manager is a young, intelligent, helpful gal who was very interested in making sure we had the best milkshakes possible. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone care so much about a milkshake. I appreciate her enthusiasm. Would definitely go back next time we’re in town.

What a special treat! This place is amazing, so cute and quaint. I travel to the area every summer to visit relatives and I enjoy seeing what new shops are in the small little downtown area. There is always a pleasant surprise. This time was no exception. The icecream was rich and delicious and the owners said it was all completely organic. I don’t know and trutfully didn’t care, it was just excellent! I hate the coconut, my friend had the chocolate chip. We were both in heaven. My daughter had the milkshake, which I thought was a little pricey but when she raved about it all the way home, I knew it was worth the money. If you have a chance to visit New London, make sure you stop into their newest little gem on Bank Street. You will be glad you did!

We went here from out of town when we were on vacation opening day (Friday) and then returned again because we liked it so much on Sunday. We had walked up to their window 30 minutes after they had closed and they remembered us from our previous visit. They offered to serve us even after they had closed! We took them up on their offer. Sweetest girls ever that work here. Fantastic ice cream, best we have ever had. If we come back to the area, we will make a special trip just to visit again.
