When you were growing up, was there a place you dreamed your parents would take you for a treat?…read moreWhen you got a little bit older and had a few bucks in your pocket, was there a shop you and your friends would bike to and buy a little slice or scoop of heaven? What about that perfect first date location in high school? Or the place your crew would meet up after you got off shift or after a game to replay the memories? Was there a place where a holiday season couldn't "officially begin" without a stop there to grab some coffee, a box of cider donuts, a Christmas tree, or just a place to sit and catch your breath? Plaskos is all of those places for all of those feels and all of those moments. The fare is top notch, and the staff is warm, familiar and welcoming. It's Americana. It's home. It's the last place you went the night before you left for college, and ordered a large S'mores ice cream with toppings, and drank in the summer sights and sounds in their yard on a picnic table, and the first place you went back to over Christmas vacation. There are lots of ice cream stores. But Plaskos is that one place that makes you feel like you just walked into your grandparents kitchen and they have all of your favorites waiting for you, and they are just as happy to see you as you are to see them. People don't just go to Plaskos because it's an ice cream store or cafe, even thought their home made ice cream and creative flavors taste like nothing you've had before, and their coffee makes you close your eyes and wonder where this has been all of your life. People go to Plaskos because it's tradition. It's who New Englanders are. It's Bean boots in the rain, leaning on a rake and talking over a fence to the neighbor on a fall day, or shoveling a driveway to help someone in need because it's the right thing to do. Plaskos isn't just ice cream or coffee. It's us.

They had picnic tables, even a covered area. I can imagine that this place gets very busy, but on a Saturday evening, there was plenty of space and parking on the side streets. I got a scoop of the coffee and cookies (incredible) and we even got a pup cup for our lil man that came along. It came complete with tiny little dog bones so he was also beyond happy. You order inside and then they'll call your name out the side window when it's ready to be picked up. Easy, great ice cream, lovely outside area... not much to not love.

This QSR is in the little Trumbull strip plaza by the Stop & Shop…read more PARKING - pretty ample so no worries ENTRANCE - as you come in you need to move to the left where you can order MENU - there is a wall menu plus one taped near the counter. Their big thing is the Poke Bowl. There are some to order by number. Plus you can create your own. They have an impressive collection of items to choose from when making your Poke bowl They also have bubble tea and other items as well but not an extensive selection other than Poke bowls. SERVICE - very friendly staff and very helpful. EATING IN - they have a few small tables for dining after you get your order. But this really feels like a take out place more than dine in PRICES - while the basic Poke bowl is like $12 by the time you add additional items you're more likely to spent $20

The shop is immaculately clean and well stocked. When I say clean, it's almost unbelievable due to all the glass lol. They are located in a small strip center with easy in and out but parking is limited so if nothing is available, we park at the next door gas station. Truly parking is almost always available. Go with complete confidence.

It's not unique anymore. One of the draws of going here was to walk in and see all the liquid nitrogen and making the ice cream. It's just not fun anymore. Also, they served my bubble cone in a plastic cup? That was weird. The inside is also in need of attention. The lighting was dim and it was pretty dirty in there if you stand and look around. It's like it hasn't been deep cleaned in 10 years. There's also no restroom! People seemed nice to us. I won't complain about them. It seems like a lot of kids working, to be expected. It's basically a fast food ice cream chain so what can be expected. The real issue is, they need a manager there running the ship. The crew was all over the place when I was there. They kept looking at the order receipts, running around chaotically. Asking each other questions etc. I think they need a boss or someone there that can help the crew out with direction. I think lack of management was the issue. I recommend spending your money elsewhere. Go find a mom and pop place nearby. This place is just not as "cool" as it once was.
