Tall Man’s Homemade Ice Cream — Restaurant in Cromwell

We were on a day trip and wound down our day by backtracking a little for Tall Man's Ice cream. I am on the hunt for all the best homemade and handmade ice cream in CT. So far, Tall Man's is in my top 5.

FOOD I purchased the hot fudge sundae with whipped cream, candied walnuts and black cherry vanilla ice cream. The cherries in the ice cream were huge and not super sweet....flavorful. I had a piece of a cherry in every bite. (Sundae had no fixed price: $6.90)

Steve had the salted caramel. (Small cone $4.65) Good stuff.

STAFF VERY kind...they checked the ingredients of the candied nuts for a gluten allergy notice for me! I cannot stress enough how this is a kindness for Celiac sufferers (especially for kids!) I feel like a business owner/staff member who takes a moment to make the customer feel a little be safer in their food choices really must be proud of their work.

ATMOSPHERE Because this was a chilly and breezy drab March day, it was not crowded, of course. However, there was a couple there when we arrived, one couple just left and another pulled in after us. There is a well landscaped seating area away from the building. Super clean lot and grounds. I bet this gets wicked busy in the summer. It is also on a main road....not hard to find. Generous parking.

Very enjoyable experience, delicious ice cream that hit the spot! TOTALLY RECOMMENDED for the...

We had this in our list for long time. We were hearing nice feedbacks for this place and every time we pass through this shop, we wish to stop next time and finally we were there, early August , in a not-so-hot afternoon. Well, personally I have a soft corner on ice creams, and because 1st impression should be good. So, we dint experiment much from the huge list of flavors they offer. And We ordered the one we like most - the Roasted Almonds and butter peccan. And they passed. Not with high grade though but enough to come back again to try other flavors. They offer all the flavors we know plus some unusual ones. See the list in photos I shared. The lady at counter was helpful enough to guide me through the list and recommend what they serve best. Coming to the place. It’s roadside only. Parking is less and there’s a beautiful outdoor place as well as indore to sit and enjoy. They have a Take-Out window on the side of the billing counter, if you don't need to go inside. We enjoyed it outside garden(small flowers were there for decoration, so calling it a garden, don’t mind if u...

This place has been on our list forever, so it was a great excuse to come out for National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day this past weekend. Of course it was super busy, but worth the wait. We always try to visit and support our local, homemade ice cream businesses. They had delicious ice cream (MCC was perfect!!), fun and unique grab and go treats, and what looked like a really nice sitting area out back. We will definitely have to return in the warmer weather to visit so we could sit outside. My only teeny disappointment was the hot fudge was SO thick. I wasn't sure if that was based on them being busy and it wasn't made right? But Ordering a sundae, it was just a large dish of ice cream with a small amount on top. It was so thick it didn't drip at all, so most bites had no hot fudge. Paying extra for a sundae, I usually like to have more equal amounts of toppings to enjoy. Hard to say, but we'll have to ask next time! Definitely would recommend if you like...
