Darien Ice Cream Shoppe

This quaint place has that true ice cream shop feel. It is my favorite summer treat place to go. The ice cream is delicious and there are a great variety of options. They even have a "baby cone" that's the perfect amount for a toddler. There isn't much in the way of seating; the shop, again, is very small. Most people will eat outside the shop or across the street at the park. They sell Cedar Crest ice cream (among some other things), so if you've allergies (like me, gluten free), go on the cedar crest website and download their allergen guide pdf. Then when you get to the ice cream shop you can see what's available and what you can have.

Great small town service. Best ice cream around and staff understands gluten free choices.
