Royal Ice Cream Co — Restaurant in Manchester

Little place that you'd never notice. There's a small sign at the intersection its easily missed or overlooked. They're located on a dead end street, it's a commercial manufacturing ice cream factory, with a small sales room that sells factory rejects and over runs of current production so the inventory changes regularly. They have a large glass window so you can see into the shop and see what is being made. Be patient while checking out, often a person from the production line will cash you out. Everytime I've been over the past 20 years I've never had an unpleasant experience and I've been here lots of times, pretty much weekly for close to ten years while preforming landscaping in the area, we'd swing in for a treat every week during the summer. Check them out, it's a hidden gem that makes top end ice cream desserts for 5 star...

Down at the end of Warren road right off South Main after Hackmetack. Don't do dumb thing I did..try to open doors of first house where sign is. Grew up in Manchester and never knew there.

And my mom said the Royal ice cream owner once shared a hospital room with my dad and "he is a very lovely man" $5 half gallon. Can't...

If you live in the Manchester, Glastonbury, South Windsor, Bolton area and have not been here, GO. Their ice cream is genuine and so reasonably priced. They have special treats like toasted almond, spumoni, chocolate bombs - things you don't find in a Grocery freezer. Very different and gourmet. Also, their cakes can't be beat. SO much less expensive than most...
