    Pupcup

    I love all their fun ice cream flavors! And the prices are very good for hard ice cream and the amount you get! They even have very good pup cups that come with peanut butter sauce and a cookie.

    Everyone loves ice cream ... but ice cream with hilarious names?! Even better! Super tiny ice cream place with delicious and fun ice cream flavors. I have celiac disease, and although they can't guarantee cross contamination, they were super accommodating. My go to has been the Curious George - many other flavors have gluten in them. Tight parking lot and wish they had some seating in front, but it looks like you can sit next door? We ended up taking to go once and sat in the car another time.

    My yummy ice cream, Cookie Monster: cookie dough ice cream, chocolate chip cookie and brownie.

    Tony D's isn't your typical whole bunch of flavors I've cream location but they look fun. Service was quick and efficient but I wish she would have suggested options since I was lost. The actual location has no sitting but the house next door seems is where you can go and sit, and it looked comfortable. What I liked about this place is that is just outside the hectic downtown Niantic and accessibility is perfect and has ample parking

    Really good fresh Ice cream spot in Niantic. The wait can be a little long during summer seasons but it's worth the wait. I love the variety of the different flavors they have to offer. A good place to stop by after a long day at the beach.

    Look no further for a taste explosion of flavors instead of your boring average regulars . They make their own incredible icecream here and thou they have a small menu of flavors you will discover a new one everytime you come here . Today all 3 kids tried the cotton candy with Lucky Charms mixed inside . They loved it !!! I decided on a sugar cone with Sweet Hazel ( hazelnut icecream with chocolate toffee pretzels in it ) and Major Keys ( key lime with ghram crackers) they both were phenomenal my new favorites. I wish I could have bought gallons of all these flavors. The service is fast and the prices are family friendly. I cannot wait to come back again and again to try new flavors. Just 5 minutes away from Rocky Neck Beach .

    So when you charge a premium and people order a quart have the decency to give them what they paid for. The vanilla bean has so much space in it it's crazy. Haven't even tried the ice cream yet but the way they packed this is just so irritating I'm probably never going back and I live in town...don't do this to other customers it's awful.

    Was okay. No waffle cones tonight. Hazel nut tasted like plain vanilla. My dog loved his special pupcup and the staff was wonderful.

    See all

    Best ice cream outside of Italy. And if you're feeling soft serve, it's the best soft serve too. Lucky you!

    I came here with several friends for lunch mid week. The location is right on the shore near a…read moremarina where you can watch trains crossing over the river and boats going by. There is a road bridge that crosses the river way above so it does not impact views of the water. We were promptly seated outside where the umbrellas provided shade and the sea breeze was gentle. We were fortunate to catch a beautiful summer day that was not humid or extremely hot. I started with Niantic Bay oysters which are local. They were expertly plated, plump and delicious served with a mignonette sauce. Next I ordered the Chilled Seafood Salad which is listed as an appetizer but was plenty for me. The salad had Stonington scallops, Long Island scungilli, large shrimp, hot peppers with a lime vinaigrette. It was nicely seasoned including the shrimp and scallops. Although the scungilli was sliced thin, they were somewhat tough and a little chewy. My friends enjoyed their selections which ranged from burgers and fries to salads and chowders. The wait staff were pleasant and efficient. The inside decor was very pleasant. Prices are within range of what one would expect.

    We've been coming here often since they first opened and have generally always been happy, but…read moresomething has recently changed food wise and the costs have gotten out of control. The service is always great, so kind and quick, no complaints ever. Even with summer hires they are great! The setting is beautiful, nice outside patio, great raw bar seating, and even in the winter the indoors is comfortable and warm. A few months ago our meal was off and seemed poorly made with lesser quality ingredients, but we let it go as we thought maybe it was just a bad night. We came back again this weekend and it was more of not worse of the same. Our staple go to here has always been the crab cakes with Kimchi. I love it so much that I sometimes order 2 of it as my meal, with extra kimchi on the side! We have also tried many other options though, both kinds of lobster rolls, scallops, ravioli, always 2-3 things from the raw bar, and generally get an entree and drink special too. I'm not sure if staffing/decision making in the kitchen changed or they are cutting costs but something is definitely off. The crab cakes are no longer what they were, they have no signs of the large lump crab, and honestly tasted like a frozen version made with imitation crab. Add to that that they raised the price and I am baffled they thought it was ok to serve. The kimchi is no longer actual kimchi but plain raw cabbage chopped and lightly dusted with what could only be the leftover spices from a poor attempt at kimchi mix. The entire thing was so bad we had to send it back. When I asked about what had changed I was met with a firm denial that it was any different than it had ever been. We have eaten them around 15-20 different times and I honestly couldn't believe they were trying to convince me it was the same. The lobster roll was awful, tasted almost day old. If we had done what we wanted we would have sent our entire meals back and just left. On top of all of this, the prices have been consistently raised and yet the food quality has gone way down. I think if it were not for tourists and the location this place would suffer greatly from the changes and cutbacks they have made. Sadly, we will not be returning.

The bartender was friendly, funny, and made us feel right at home. The support waitress was just as welcoming--chatty, attentive, and genuinely kind. Even the regulars added to the experience, making the atmosphere fun, relaxed, and entertaining. The food was outstanding! The snow crab roll was an easy 10/10--fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The truffle fries were perfectly crispy and addictive. And the wine slushy? 1000/1000! It was the perfect summer drink. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food and service, which made the experience even better. Great food, great people, and a great atmosphere. I already can't wait to come back to try the wings and prime rib... and of course MANY more snow crab rolls! Highly recommend!

I ordered the pot roast, which came w/ mashed potatoes & asparagus. The pot roast itself was good & had a nice, tender texture, but I wasn't a huge fan of how much gravy they put on top. They were VERY heavy-handed w/ it, & unfortunately, it was overpowering. It took away from the actual taste of the pot roast. I think if they would've gone a little lighter on the gravy, it would've been SO much better because I really wanted to taste the pot roast itself. The mashed potatoes were creamy & really good, & I also enjoyed the asparagus. I liked the way everything tasted, especially the sides. I just wish there wasn't so much gravy because I think the pot roast would've been much better with less of it. I also sampled the Mac & cheese & it could have had more cheese in it. As for the service, our waitress could've been a little more attentive. I actually had to flag her down just to get some water, which was a little disappointing. She was nice, but I would've appreciated her checking on us a little more throughout the meal.
