When the temps climb in the Elm City, there’s one simple rule: cool off with something sweet. Downtown New Haven is scooping up serious summer vibes with frozen treats that hit every craving – think small-batch classics, vegan delights, and a little liquid nitrogen drama for good measure.
🍦 @arethusa_farm
Arethusa churns out rich, farm-fresh flavors using milk from their own dairy upstate. Expect old-school favorites like Peppermint Stick, Cherry Chocolate Chip, and Coffee, all tucked into crispy, handmade waffle cones.
🍦 @looseleafboba & @heybings_desserts
Not just a boba spot – this hidden gem is also home to Heybings, where Korean bingsoo (a fluffy shaved milk dessert) steals the spotlight. Topped with mango, matcha, or sweet red beans, it’s as refreshing as it is photogenic.
🍦 @milkcraftct
Milkcraft flash-freezes every scoop with liquid nitrogen, creating a smoky, silky texture that’s as fun to watch as it is to eat. Go big with flavors like S’mores Campfire, PB&J Roasted Banana, or Cookie Butter Blue, served in a signature Bubblecone or Creamee bun.
🍦 @ashleysicecream
A New Haven summer staple since 1979, Ashley’s serves small-batch ice cream with real ingredients and rich, nostalgic flavor. Favorites include Coffee Oreo, Chocolate Banana Chip, and Bourbon Brown Sugar – and don’t skip the homemade whipped cream or hot fudge.
🍦 @vialacteact
Plant-based and packed with flavor, Vía Láctea is your go-to for vegan indulgence. Their creamy scoops (made from coconut, oat, or rice milk) come in bold flavors like Pistachio Almond, Praline Brownie, and seasonal specials that change with the weather.
Summer’s short. Eat the ice cream.

Tag your pasta partner & make a reservation before everyone else finds out.
