Reviews for Mel's Downtown Creamery in Pawcatuck, CT
This is a cute 50s theme ice cream shoppe that also has shaved ice (although I?ve never had it here). Staff is friendly and they... have a good variety of flavors for ice cream and also have the typical soft ice cream too! They make a variety of different icecream dishes and you can certainly find something you will like! The 4 stars is based on the large variety they offer and theyhave great sundaes too! The ice cream in my opinion is good but nothing out of the ordinary. It?s not home made. Overall, whenwe are in the area we will grab ice cream here and it?s open year round! Read more
My wife and I prefer the ice cream here to any local creamery. I do not make this comment lightly, we have tried A LOT of ice... cream and Mel?s cannot be beat. If I lived closer my doctor would not be happy. Read more
It was ok! but the people who waited on us we very unpleasant. They were so super busy and should of been happy!!! The tables... were filthy. Come on your selling ice cream!! We got through 6 and 1/4 miles Mountain biking and needed a much needed treat!The ice cream was good on a positive. Read more
So happy to find Hawaiian style shaved ice! You can ask for more than 1 flavor :) I got strawberry & banana then added soft... serve vanilla to the bottom. Next time I think I?ll do hard ice cream because it melted by the time I got to the bottom. I alsopicked up a pint of NSA Coffee Toffee to go. Service was great & the atmosphere is so cute! Street parking is easier thantrying to park in the back. Bit hard to figure out which stalls are for the businesses vs apartments. Read more
Fantastic!! The gal behind the counter was very helpful. She gave her opinion on flavors that go well together. Wonderful... old-school atmosphere. Read more
Lots of options including vegan non dairy and frozen yogurt. Lots of flavors to choose from. Generous amounts. Friendly service.... Not overly crowded. Very good pricing. You won't be disappointed that you stopped here for icecream or shaved ice or a float orshake. You can reuse the green shaved ice cup also as a planter. Read more
My son and I stopped here after his riding lesson one day and OMG...this place is AMAZING!! We recently moved right down the... street, and this is definitely a place we will be visiting often! We both got this ?Death By Chocolate? brownie/ice cream/hotfudge concoction, and it was phenomenal. We couldn?t finish them, so we took them home and put them in the freezer and were ableto have ice cream the next day as well! Their menu is HUGE and the service was very fast and friendly. We absolutely recommendthis place! Read more
