    Needed something sweet after dinner and we google Michael's Dairy which was near by. Parking was easy and we saw a line outside the shop. We knew it must be good. Although there was a long line, it move pretty quickly. Inside was a normal size ice cream shop and it was nice and clean. There were so many flavors to pick from but the Graham Central Station peaked my interest. I love graham crackers so it was a must have. I had it in a taco because it was different. The taco shell was a soft pliable waffle cone and I added whip cream and cherries. It was a bit hard to eat as it was melting. The ice cream was delicious and I see why it was a fan favorite. I think next time I will get this without the taco shell. My friend got a brownie sundae, she stated there was a bit too much of chocolate fudge for her liking, but overall enjoyed it. Can't wait to come back to try different flavors.

    Delicious ice cream, all the staff are always so nice, and now they serve pup cups! Plenty of parking in the lot & several tables outside to eat at. One of our favorite ice cream spots in the area!

    I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Michael's Dairy is located on the Mitchell College campus in New London, a short drive from Ocean Beach and the local ferry service. Open seasonally, you can be sure to get your ice cream fix! From scoops of ice cream to milkshakes and sundaes you are sure to be able to find something for your sweet tooth! For caffeine lovers alike you can get your scoops affogato style! This means you can do get coffee here - they serve Ashlawn Farms! With so many flavors to select from everyone in your party will be happy! Some of my favorites include Graham Central Station Campfire S'mores, and Salted Caramel Chocolate Covered Pretzel. Their website provides full flavor descriptions! The scoopers will gladly give you a small spoon sample too! While there is no seating inside, there are several tables outside. I've seen lines out the door depending on the day/time. Michael's Diary also offers a trailer to bring to your special event!

    Michael's dairy serves pretty good ice cream, very fast service and the environment is very nice. They have a nice gazebo, lawn, trees and grass for you to enjoy your ice cream.

    after group in front of us received full service, man came out from back and refused to let us try any samples. skimped out on the amount of ice cream -- i had a two scoop that was much less then the one scoop in front of it. server was very rude to my grandfather and gave a lot of attitude unnecessarily that we needed more simple orders. if they can't handle a line then maybe they shouldn't be in business. the ice cream tastes fine but doesn't at all make up for how we were mistreated. will not be coming back and will be warning friends & fam about this.

    Great atmosphere on the grounds of Mitchell College. The ice cream is plentiful but a little one note in flavor. The service is prompt and courteous. Definitely a stop while in New London.

    The ice cream is delicious and so creamy! There's nice outdoor seating available but the best part though for me is that they offer pup cups! Moose enjoyed his and I was finished with my ice cream before him!

    Michael's Dairy is a conveniently located creamery on the campus of Mitchell College. It's a great place to bring the kids, meet with friends, and get some relief from the heat. Selection of flavors is excellent, and has rotating flavor choice specials which keeps things fresh. Of the 4 times I've been, all the ice cream that I have tried was very good. Their limited time flavor of S'mores changed my life...toasted marshmallow ice cream, generous chocolate chunks, and a salty, buttery graham cracker swirl. This ice cream is the perfect balance of that often badly attempted salty/sweet combo, but this hits dead on. Parking is easy as long as they aren't packed, otherwise you're sort off stuck behind the creamery and have to exit campus and return back through the other side on campus. Big negatives though, when I called the first time the person answering the phone was rude and flippant and didn't answer the questions I had for her. Another time I was there, I was early waiting for a friend and the manager was talking with a staff member as they were opening the store. They were talking about other staff members and how they were not dependable and drinking sodas from inventory without paying for it and such. I thought this was very unprofessional since I was just sitting there, and they didn't think they should move such a conversation elsewhere. Otherwise, Michael's is a New London staple for ice cream in the area closest to ocean beach without having to drive to downtown. If they could just increase the quality of the conversational professionalism on phone and in person, they would have a really truly great thing going.

    Huge amount of ice cream for the price. It was yummy. We all liked it. Nice outdoor space to eat it but it was chilly so we ate inside.
