The Story

Under the warm Connecticut sun, the retro parlor at 20 Darling Road feels like a beloved postcard come to life, beckoning with the sweet promise of summer. A gentle hum of happy chatter fills the air as folks line up for generous scoops of homemade ice cream, each original flavor a delightful taste of simpler times. With every lick of those creamy, handcrafted treats, you can almost hear the crickets chirping and feel the spirit of a cherished New England tradition.

    This place is pure happiness! My husband and l absolutely love coming here. I've been visiting since I was a little kid, and it's amazing that the quality is still just as incredible as I remember. The non dairy Almond Joy ice cream was absolutely delicious and full of flavor! After a long hike, it's such a great treat, and the quick, friendly service makes it easy to swing by and cool down without missing a beat. I haven't asked if they do pup cups yet, but that's definitely on my list for next time. Great ice cream, great vibes, We'll keep coming back!

    Ok so me and my boyfriend love trying cookie dough across the state and we loved Tall Man 's in Cromwell but they recently got bought out by another family and the cookie dough is not the same All of that to say SALEM VALLEY FARMS came to the rescue and wow we are so impressed! Their cookie dough is flawless. I've also tried the blueberry cheesecake and it is divine. So happy to know they have a rocky hill location and they are our new favorite ice cream in the state! Highly recommend!!!!

    Memorial Day weekend and 2 young ladies working. People are waiting over 20 minutes for ice cream. The menu remains without pineapple on the toppings menu for 4 years now. I’d go back if the original owner had it back from the 90’s…. Now it’s just about money not service and quality. AND to pay for a pup cup?!?! I guess we know where the owner’s priorities are, profit

    Lovely place with ample of parking. You could also buy in tub and milk shake as well . Just remember to take cash with you since they do not accept credit card only cash. They do have ATM as well. Place is kept clean and staff is friendly. Quick service
