American Bagel And Creamery - Tolland

This is our favorite local spot! You would never guess it's hidden inside a gas station convenience store. They have an impressive selection of soft-serve ice cream, and it's also my go-to place for iced coffee. There's a charming little area in the back where you can sit and enjoy your ice cream.

The ice cream was great, but the service we received from the young lady who attended us was lackluster. It seemed like she was indifferent and didn't want to be there at all. I genuinely hope everything is alright with her. Unfortunately, the poor rating is primarily due to the service.

Decent little ice cream shop located in a gas station convenience store. Prices are average and they serve soft serve and normal ice cream.

Love going to this place year round! THE CREAM My go to is a classic chocolate soft serve in a cone. Very tasty! I've also had milkshakes from there that are very good. Tonight my partner got a strawberry milkshake and it was so delicious and refreshing!! Will definitely be getting that again in the future. THE STAFF Typically we go here on weeknights and I feel like it's usually just one girl working so if you got at a busier time there might be a bit of a wait. THE LOCATION Love the seating that they offer. There's a handful of tables with umbrellas but also plenty of really nice and colorful Adirondack chairs. It's very relaxing to sit in them in the nice grassy area and enjoy your ice cream! One thing I will say is I wish they allowed you to tip on credit card purchases. We almost never have cash on us and the young girls working (especially when hustling by themselves! really deserve tips. I bet they lose out on so many because they aren't able to get it on card purchases from the outdoor walk up window.

OK, sure, this place is also a gas station and convenience store, but don 't let that fool you. The ice cream obviously isn 't made there, but it 's local and delicious nonetheless. The setting is gas stationy , but there 's actually a decent amount of outdoor seating with spread out tables and umbrellas in good condition. They have a long list of flavors of both hard ice cream (from Shady Glen! and soft serve. A lot list of toppings, sundaes, etc. It 's really only well setup for warmer weather, unless you 're taking your ice cream to go, but there 's a lot of space to sit outside when the weather permits. The pricing overall seemed quite fair as well, and there 's a ton of parking in the adjacent businesses if you don 't want to park at the gas station. If you 're in the area or you live nearby, this may be your quickest option for ice cream, and it 's a surprisingly good one, despite what your initial impressions of it may be.
