    Chocolate peanut butter
    Holly W.

    DON'T DRIVE BY THE GAS STATION- it's in the gas station store! An ice cream shop in a gas station store? INTERESTING! We took the kids to the ropes course nearby and promised them desert. There is a side window. Two girls working. One taking order and making order whole the other was cleaning. I have to say it was a slow process but I like that it was a well cleaned establishment. I had chocolate peanut butter ice cream in a cup. It was ok. Nothign to rave over but hit the spot. My daughter had watermelon. She liked it. The girls were nice. Average price. Nice eating area with a small kids table for patrons behind the gas station. (Have to say we did not see anyone cleaning the tables and it's still Covid times.) There is a bathroom inside the station open for patrons.

    Getting ready to order!

    This is probably the only place to get ice cream in Tolland. Luckily, they serve both soft serve and hard ice cream from Shady Glen. The prices are very reasonable: $1.99 for one scoop and $2.99 for two scoops. They were generous portions too. Sprinkles are an additional $.40 though. I've heard people joke around because it's at a gas station so don't expect a great scenic view.

    Decent little ice cream shop located in a gas station convenience store. Prices are average and they serve soft serve and normal ice cream.

    Great place for breakfast. They have a self serve coffee bar; which I love! They serve the usual…read morebreakfast fare with some specials. Their French toast is great. Their lunch specials look and sound amazing. I'll have to go back and try them first lunch. Service is great. Cool modern diner vibe inside. Ample parking in plaza parking lot.

    Better food, slow service, very accommodating…read more Currently giving places another try. This time heading to a okay breakfast spot next to a really good coffee spot. Service was a bit slow, took a while to get water and get my order in. Didn't have big expectations, so I opted for bananas on French toast with brown sugar on the side. With real maple syrup and a dish of vanilla ice cream. The idea was a type of bananas foster style French toast. Something I didn't expect to get to my expectation of a dish on a whim, but enough of the raw components to make a version of it. It also took a while to come out, but eventually got to eating. The French toast was cooked well. Seasoned and soaked to make a nice custardy bite. Maple syrup was real but not a great brand. But they didn't charge by the Dixie cup full so that was nice of them. Ice cream was of a good quality, and the banana was nice and ripe. The only major detractor was the French toast was cold. It was cooked and died on the pass, which messed up the hot-n-cold play between the French toast and the ice cream. Still tasty, but would've been better warm. The price was okay, with all the add ons the French toast came out to 13 bucks. It's clear that the kitchen knows how to cook, but there were issues with execution this time around. Not bad, but still some tweaks needed.

    The gas may be pricey, and the store nothing special, but the X-tra Mart in Tolland, CT on Route 30…read moreis THE spot for soft serve ice cream. I grew up in the same area this store is located and have head pretty much all the ice cream within a 20 miles radius...outside of that I can't say I've had ALL the ice cream, but I've had a lot. Even outside of Connecticut, the Tolland X-tra Mart has some of the most phenomenal soft serve ice cream you've ever had. They don't offer a lot in terms of flavor...pretty much your basic vanilla, chocolate of twist. You can get "flavor blasts" which are vanilla ice cream with a twist of some other flavor (cheesecake, grape and pineapple are a few examples) but I don't highly recommend them...not because they're not good, but because good ice cream shines without any fancy flavors added in. There is also the usual array of toppings...sprinkles (jimmies), or a dip....but only one cone option other than the basic cone; waffle. Now, I know I've painted a rather dismal picture....afterall, most good ice cream places nowadays pride themselves on the sheer variety of flavors, toppings and cones they offer. But if you're looking for something a little more simple...I promise you, you will not be disappointed. The ice cream here is creamy, and flavorful, and always perfect. I didn't know just how good soft serve ice cream could be until I started becoming a regular at this unassuming X-tramart. Give it a try...you'll probably become one too! Two tips for those who want to give it a try; -Give a shot to their soft serve sundae....it's simple, just ice cream, hot fudge or caramel (you pick), whipped cream, nuts, sprinkles and a cherry, but it is amazing. The pure goodness of the ice cream underneath all those toppings makes it a far-above ordinary experience! -If you're planning on going on a hot summer day (the perfect time for ice cream!) be aware that the lines can get LONG. The ice cream here is hardly a secret among the locals, and especially between the hours of 4 and 7 there can be an impressive amount of people for such a small establishment. I'm giving X-traMart five stars based on its ICE CREAM...I can't really speak for it's service station portion! Even despite it's simplistic variety, what X-tra Mart HAS, it does very well.

    Yesterday I stopped here for a soft serve ice cream. After placing my order the clerk told me I…read morecould either wait there or go over to the delivery window which I did. I noticed a sign which read, no smoking at the window. Well ok I don't smoke. When the cone was ready the clerk was very rude and nasty to me. He verbalized that I should have waited there, "Can't I read the sign"?!? I asked him why he was so rude to me and he replied, " I am sick of dealing with customers"! I could not see the sign he was referring to. This infuriated me to the point that I left my cone on his counter. I will never go back again!
