Very good ice cream and they have seating outside so I can bring my dog for a little treat. Good assortment of flavors can't wait to try some new ones. read more

Never even knew this place existed until we decided to go. Place has plenty of parking clearly defined 6' SD lines. They didn't mean all that much as there was no line for us. We both ordered 3 scoop larges. My 3 different ice cream scoops pistachio little Poland and coconut almost all very good. The kid Cookie Monster Nutella both delicious. The best scoop was the Cookie Monster. The waffle bowls both tasty as well. This would have been a 5 star but the whipped cream that I overheard the words "left out" fell off and onto my daughters shirt hence the stain. Clothes can be washed but this was my only negative of the exported estimate read more

Our new favorite place! There's always plenty of parking and you don't have to bake in the sun, while waiting in line. The line can be a little long at times, but it's worth the wait. Frisbie's homemade ice cream is dense and creamy. We've tried the Blue Raspberry, Blueberry (with whole blueberries), Cinn-Full Cinnamon Roll and Cookies & Cream....and we will continue to eat through their list. Cups & cones are offered, as well as sundaes and toppings. Me? I'm a traditionalist... give me a small cup with a couple of scoops and call me happy! There is ample seating indoors, but you can venture outside to the Adirondack chairs in the front or the additional seating on the side of the building. We even spotted a dog bowl outside for the four-legged friends. While the ice cream is good, the milkshakes are outstanding! My husband orders the coffee every time! The shakes are made with their ice cream, and you can have a say in how thick you want yours made. Be sure to check out the goodies in their freezer section. You'll find pints to go, ice cream sandwiches and cakes. At the register, you can pick up one of their famous Frisbie pies. I'm thinking about doing a Pie a la Mode next time! read more

They don't just serve ice cream! This place has a tiny salad bar, sandwiches, and soup. It's very clean and has plenty of parking. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The prices are fair and the ice is very filling. A small comes with one scoop but that was plenty for me and my husband. The ice cream is rich and smooth. read more

The ice cream is absolutely delicious here. I love that there are flavors from ethnic groups who live in the area. The ice cream is delicious and fresh and I love sitting out on the Adirondack chairs. I found this place online while visiting my in-laws and I've gone back many times. read more

The ice cream here is soo creamy, it is creamier than that new LN2 place that opened up a town over. So tasty and delicious. The ice cream names are cutsie to the area such as New Britain Koffee Kraze or Newington Nutella. The price is so reasonable. We do ice cream a lot, and when they gave me total for the usual 3 ice creams, I was confused and thought they must have forgotten to an add an item. There is a ton of seating in and out, it really is the size of a barn, with a sizeable parking lot. I have had great experiences with the staff and grounds. Our new go to place. read more

frisbies is the worst ice cream place i've ever been to. the girls behind the counter were rude and unhappy, they didn't have banana for a banana split, their soft serve machine wasn't working, they were out of various flavors of ice cream, the outside was so infested with bees we couldn't sit out there and finally it was overly expensive. never going back read more

I've been here a few times and have never had a problem, but today my husband and I both left and threw our ice cream out. I just wish they would maybe taste test the ice cream before serving it to people, especially with the prices being a little high. Other than that service is good and employees seem nice. read more

The Good: some flavors are really good, lots of outdoor seating, good location The Bad: the prices are a bit steep for what you get (size and quality), indoor seating feels a little cramped/there isn't a good space to wait for your order to be served and that backs up the line, the blue ice cream with cookies in it tastes like blue dye (I expected it to taste like vanilla) The Ugly: charging $1 for sprinkles is just WILD. You are making a 99 cent profit on every serving, because sprinkles are cheap and the portions are so stingy. It's a much better look to offer sprinkles for free; customers like to feel like their business is valued and that they are getting a good deal. Charging a dollar for sprinkles looks so cheap. Staff last season, I would never want my brand to be represented by them. Our family went probably 7-8 times over the summer and early fall because we live within five minutes, every time the service was slow (we would typically go off peak hours, so no line), the people serving us acted like our business inconvenienced them, rolling their eyes, audibly complaining about other customers. They wouldn't hand us spoons and then get irritated when we had to ask for them. And management set no example for them. On one of the very few busy times we went, the staff behind the counter was absolutely slammed, weren't able to keep up with restocking product and serving customers. The manager sat in the back office on her phone, door wide open so she could see and hear her team struggling to do and delegate tasks. If you are on break, close the door. If you are on the clock, you get on the floor and help your staff. The whole point of my review is that I got so sick of paying $7-8 (plus tip every time because I believe in paying people for their labor) for two scoops of ice cream and getting stiffed on sprinkles by a bunch of people who are being rude to me, that after my last visit I went online in my car and bought my own container of sprinkles. The next day, I went and got a half gallon of ice cream at the grocery store. Frisbees made it clear they don't need my business. read more

I got the CCSU Ice cream after a hot summer day, and it was one of the best drat ice cream cones I've had in years. I gotta go back

Not a bad cone! I love the bright, colorful, cheerfulness of frisbees and its employees....it's what every ice cream shop should be. I particularly liked the delicious salted caramel ice cream but the chocolate, while still good, is pretty run of the mill. They do have some super yummy dipped waffle cones to dress up your ice cream and also offer soft serve. Prices are pretty reasonable. It's a good place to take your kids, or a date! read more

Frisbie's Dairy Barn - Salted caramel and chocolate in a waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New Britain, Connecticut

Two words: Newington Nutella Finally, a real homemade ice cream shop has opened! I only discovered this place yesterday on Yelp and last night, my husband and I took a drive over to see if it was too good to be true. With a brand new building next to a brand spankin' huge gas station next door, this new business is refreshing to see on the New Britain/Farmington border. I loved how Frisbie's named their flavors after neighboring towns, as well local and state icons. Though many flavors had run out, I decided on scoop of Newington Nutella and a scoop of Cinnamon Bun on a waffle cone. Bong! It was love at first sight with the Newington Nutella! My sweetheart copied me and also had a teeny tiny scoop of Newington Nutella, which I ended up finishing! Another warm feature was there were many Adirondack chairs outside to enjoy ice cream comfortably. If the weather is bad, inside is spacious and well-decorated. In term of price, it is not cheap, but not as expensive as Ben and Jerry's scoop shop. Soon they will be offering food too! read more

Went to frisbees based on a recommendation, the ice cream was yummy but it was super super soft and I like how they had a pup cup for our dog. read more

Creamy ice cream made in house. Clean building with plenty of seating inside and out. Ice cream names with a local twist on classic flavors. I had the peanut butter ice cream and was easily the best I've ever had. The kids had the Moosetracks, coffee, cookies and cream and raspberry. I tried all and all was well done. Smalls were more than enough for kids 11, 9 and 7. And for the dog? He had no complaints. He enjoyed his vanilla ice cream with peanut butter topping. read more

Frisbie's Dairy Barn - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New Britain, Connecticut

tried this place many times wanting to love it because it's so close by, but it's always just average. the mix-ins in the ice cream are tasty, but the base itself is very bland. the chocolate based ice creams are slightly better, but I'm always left wishing it had more flavor. waffle bowl was average. not a bad place by any means, but definitely not great. read more

I came here with a friend and we both thought this place was great for ice cream. It is also super close to our school in Farmington. The names of the flavors include nearby towns in CT which was cool. I tried the Newington Nutella which had a great hazelnut and chocolate flavor mix to it. The inside was very cute and I will definitely be back! read more

My mother ordered a sheet ice cream cake for a family get together we had earlier this week and it was fantastic. She chose chocolate and vanilla with chocolate cookie crunchies in between. We all thought the cake was delicious and most of us had a second slice even though we were already full from dinner and our first slice. The cake was very dense and I was pleased that it didn't melt when it was on my plate. The ice cream tasted creamy and delicious and I really liked that the buttercream frosting was not super sweet and was not layered on really thick as I have seen on other cakes. In fact, I have eaten two other ice cream cakes this summer at different parties (cakes were not from Frisbies) and I really did not care for them, neither did most of the other guests. I highly recommend Frisbie's cakes and we will definitely be ordering more in the future!!! read more

Worst ice cream I've ever had. Spent $20 on two 2-scoop dishes and a pup cup. the ice cream barely had any flavor except for a chemical/rubbing alcohol taste. I've never thrown out ice cream in my 51 years but today I chucked it in the trash! I had to get eat a mint afterwards to try to get that disgusting taste out of my mouth! Wow! read more

This place is bad. Bad because it's so close to my house and they stay open until 10p in the summer. That means any time I'm hit with an ice cream craving, I'm a short drive away. I'm so glad they opened where the old Guida's used to be on Farmington Ave. I grew up going there as a kid and am happy to pass along a tradition to my nephews. This ice cream is so good and they don't skimp on the portions (especially since a small will run you at least $5). I recommend you try as many flavors as you can before you make a decision. My favorites are: Pistachi-Oh!, Newingtojn Nutella, CT Coconut Almond, and Magical Mocha Chunk. read more

Frisbie's Dairy Barn - Coffee ice cream. This is a regular aka small. $3.90. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New Britain, Connecticut

Built on the site adjacent to the old Guida's ice cream parlor on Farmington Ave, I was not sure what to expect from Frisbie's. After all, the legacy of Guida's in New Britain is very strong and I vividly remember traveling across town as a kid and getting their fresh made ice cream, hot fudge and, especially, their freshly whipped cream. Frisbie's is not Guida's but they will likely build a fond legacy of their own. They make all of their ice cream on the premises. In fact, when I asked if this was the case, the clerk took the time to show me the ice cream machine out back. It was impressive that she took the time to do this and reassure me that everything was made on-site. As for the flavors, I tried three: cherry vanilla, Berlin Black Raspberry and Maple Walnut Hill. All were the freshly scooped, hard variety. This ice cream is as good as some of my other favorites in the state which, if you read my reviews, you should know very well. I like the fact their flavor names have a New Britain focused bent. It kind of adds to the charm of the place. The interior of the shop is bright and crystal clean. Also, very impressive. I got a two scoop cup for $ 4.50 but I was particularly drawn to their six scoop sampler offering for $7.75. Six pretty good sized scoops and the ability to try a variety of their flavors? I will be getting that one on my next trip but sharing with my wife. Frisbie's also offers soft serve and the usual roster of sundaes and milkshakes. They even have their version of the DQ Blizzard called the New Britain Hurricane. As I said, people who are true New Britainites and remember Guida's from the old days will probably be hard graders on this spot. But no worries, Frisbie's passes with flying colors. read more

Ice cream was expensive. Ordered the salted caramel, but it did not say on the board it had nuts in it. I am not allergic, I jusr don't like them in ice cream. Brought it back after tasting. They offered me another flavor. I asked if the one with cinnamon had nuts in it as the board didn't say it did. Unfortunately it had pecans. So i asked for cookies and cream which did not have nuts. My wife had black raspberry, and my granddaughter had mint chocolate chip. We did not finish our ice cream as it was nothing to write home about, good thing we ordered smalls. I understand that something labeled maple walnut, ot Nutella would have been made with nuts, but they should be careful. What if someone with an allergy did order the same as I did. They should notate the flavors that contain nuts. For the record my granddaughter ate most of her's, she is 3 years old so she is not concerned about the price. read more

Another wonderful addition to the city, Frisbie's has cute country farmhouse architecture inside and out and plenty of picnic table seating right outside. They even have an ordering window by the picnic tables for those of you who don't want to order inside. Good variety of flavors, similar to ones you see at any other ice cream place. Moose tracks, cookie monster, double fudge, and the works... One fist sized scoop of nutella ice cream in a cup was plenty for me. Priced around $3.50 I'd say is the typical pricing. A bit on the overpriced side. Customer traffic kept at a fast moving pace as workers attended to everyone. A lot of their flavors in the display were out but luckily they said they had more in stock in the back. My nutella ice cream didn't taste much like nutella. I'll have to try a different flavor next time. read more

This is five-star ice cream, without a doubt. Though as of right now, Frisbie's gets a four-star review, because it was a bit disappointing to hear they were out of several flavors. And when a shop serves twenty flavors, which is frankly less than your typical ice cream shop (Praline's has over 50), there's clearly some kinks to work out. I understand the growing pains of a new business, so I'm hoping to come back and find all flavors available. Yes, the Newington Nutella was absolutely sensational. While not very dark in color, the flavor is the same hazelnut/chocolate mind bomb that hits the tongue like a tab of culinary LSD. What a wonderful choice, never had anything like it. I wanted the pistachio initially, but they were out... perhaps next time. It's hard not to notice that next to the ice cream shop, they built a new cheap gas station right at the Farmington border. Guess what? Same ownership. Talk about your business diversification. As a matter of fact, one of the partners, Abdul, stopped to talk to us for a moment and ask our ice cream was. Very nice of him to do so. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating here. Just a few little edges to round off, and this place will be perfect. read more

Absolutely delicious homemade ice cream! The chocolate peanut butter and salted caramel was an awesome pairing. The waffle cone was super sturdy and crisp to the last bite. During my first visit, I was in the process of recovering from an appendectomy and cabin fever had set in. When I was feeling well enough and could drive, I took my mom and I here for a treat. She loved it too, and she is very picky about ice cream. Safe to say I'll definitely be back! read more

Frisbie's Dairy Barn has become one of my go-to ice cream spots! The decor inside is very bright and welcoming. There is both indoor and outdoor seating on picnic tables. They have really cute ice cream flavor names here, many of which are based off of spots in Connecticut! My favorite flavors are Berlin Black Raspberry (has frozen blackberry chunks), Connecticut Coconut Almond, and New Britain Coffee Kraze. Another noteworthy mention is Mikey's Mint Chocolate Chunk which tastes like its made from fresh mint! None of that artificial business. I usually order a small in a cup with a cone for $4.75. It's a great local ice cream shop that everyone should visit when they have the chance! read more

Today was the first time that I stopped here. I was surprised by how good the ice cream was. I had a coconut ice cream cone and it was loaded with coconut. It was obvious from the containers of ice cream that the product is actually made on site. I'm so happy to find a nearby place that has good ice cream. PS. Whipped cream, made on site, is free. And hot fudge, I think, is only 50 cents extra. read more

Delicious treat for our family. They have unique flavors that are complemented with tasty toppings.

What a bright spot for New Britain/Farmington. Super cute ice cream spot with a great atmosphere. Yummy, creative flavors. A huge bonus for making their own ice cream. read more

Always busy but the line always moves fast. Ice cream is pretty good and options are good. This last time I had gone they handed me my cup with the hot fudge smudged all over it and around the bottom. Not a big deal but I asked them to just clean it or give me a new cup as I'd had gotten it all over myself and the car. read more

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The place is brand new, so it is impecable. Homey and clean, with a slew of flavors to try. We had the Newington Nutella, plainville peanut butter, and cake betterson park. To name just a few, they were all quite good with distinct tones of each significant flavor. Definitely a place to visit to have a refreshing and delicious treat. Best wishes to the new business, bringing back a nostalgic tone to an old city Favorite and icon. read more

As a fan of local businesses, I really enjoyed Frisbie's because of their connections to the local highlights of New Britain. All of their ice cream flavors are based off of Connecticut spots.
