Ridgefield Ice Cream Shop

Great ice cream. The business is just a building with a counter on the side of the road so you know what to expect.

This is our favorite place for our Birthday cakes. The BEST ice cream cake!! We have been a faithful customer since 1979.

Awesome Ice cream! Super creamy, and said they're open year round. That's cool.

A repurposed Carvel's that pumps out one of the eastcoasts very best soft-serves. The secret?? Classic high-butter fat machines from the original shop that aren't even in production anymore. The combination of dairy metal and low air volume produce a super dense and rich tasting egg-free custard consistency thats velvety and smooth like no other I have ever had. My guy is so dedicated he stays huntin down old carvels for parts to keep his gems pushing out the truth!! Get a vanilla or choco dipped n cherry and it's a wrapppppp! Worth pulling over since its so unassuming and I'm sure you've passed it by once or twice already. They should have a ginormous sign to let ppl kno to hit the brakes cuz this one is an institution.

I've only tried 3 flavors, as I'm hooked on the Maine Black Bear ice cream. You can tell their ice cream has a high butterfat content. The black raspberry and choc. chip frozen yogurt is very good, but I'm hooked on the vanilla, raspberry swirl and choc. truffles you'll find in their Maine Black Bear ice cream. They don't skimp on portions or the toppings. I don't mind paying more because of the quality of their ice cream The soft serve is extremely creamy and smooth, best I've ever had. Forget your diet or counting calories when you visit.

Nice place for a quick ice cream. There's a good selection of various flavors.

Always stop here on our trips from upstate NY to Black Rock CT. We were recently there on the night of Sat. May 8, 2021. The three young kids that were working that night were super friendly, VERY efficient and were a delight to get some of the best ice cream on earth from. I hope the owner sees this so that he knows what great employees he has. Hope to see them next trip through!

We almost passed by this fantastic, unassuming I've cream shop without stopping in but decided to give it a try and we were very glad we did. At first we were going to try the hard ice cream but upon the recommendation of the server, we switched to the soft ice cream which was fabulous. Very smooth and creamy, the old fashion way. While not quite the richness of old fashion custard, it was pretty close and a wonderful treat. Highly recommended if you are any where near the Danbury Mall.

A very good option for a stop and refresh on the Danbury road. The shop is a pretty small one - no dine in facility, you can only grab something on the go. Got ample parking space though. But a plenty of options for an ice cream lover. We tried the ice cream soda with a couple of flavors and twas great. Will the soda float during the next visit.

I enjoyed my 2 scoop cone of pina colada flavored ice cream from here. Even though it's still March with snow on the ground, the ice cream was fresh. I hear they make it in house. There was plenty of parking and it's off a main road so easy to get to. The staff were friendly and the menu had a great deal of choices including other frozen treats besides ice cream. It's also cool that the building is like an old style shop.

AMAZING I love it here literally best creamy ice cream. The staff are the most amazing people especially the one with the brown hair and blue eyes- most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen ever wowowowow

Delicious ice cream. Had to wait in line. It was worth it

I never had a bad experience there. Went somewhere else in town and paid close to ten dollars for two cones(no complaints-the ice cream was great). Maybe the ice cream melted faster there because you are eating it OUTSIDE not in air conditioning! Any way -it tastes great! Their soft serve chocolate -chocolate dip cones are my favorite! I never had bad service there but have had less than stellar service other places. Many kids that age are somewhat apathetic most anywhere you go. It takes some time and experience to learn responsibility and how to work. They cant all ways handle difficult customers or busy times especially when they are new. Im happy to see a business owner who is willing to take local kids under their wing and give them jobs and an opportunity to learn. That said, I don't think I would have taken out my frustrations on the kids working at the shop. I would have called the owner and let him know what was up. Im sure he would give an apology and credit for the ice cream. Some people are just difficult but once they know you are there to please them, they calm down. Im ordering my daughters birthday cake there now!

Great employees always ready to help and great ice cream and cool treats try the Belgium waffles with ice cream. Its really good even though it has a to many calories. 👍☺

I have been enjoying Ridgefield Ice Cream since 1972 when my family first moved to Ridgefield. The kids working there are always great! The prices are reasonable and the ice cream is delish 😋

Wonderful spot. soft serve is delicious. Being feet away from Route 7 traffic can be a little unnerving. service was quick and friendly. definitely recommend it.

I went there a couple of days ago and I was served by this lovely girl who treated me with respect. I don't know what the person below is talking about but this Ice Cream place has the best Ice Cream and a reasonable price! I recommend going.

FANTASTIC. Like the old carvels but with much creamier, fresher and tastier ice cream. Their cakes are made fresh and are superb. Think they are open 364 days a year.

Chocolate & Vanilla ,soft
I like it so much, I got a1\2 gallon to take home.
Hometown flavor & atmosphere!

Always fresh ice cream.The Maine black bear is #1...and you can't beat a good slush puppy
