Gofer Ice Cream

The one star goes to the fact the low fat chocolate vanilla swirl frozen yogurt was ok. The girl that served me was great but her supervisor was incredibly unprofessional. I have never experienced a more hostile and rude human interaction. They close early to start cleaning up so essentially they close at 9:40 so they are done with work at 10pm, they don’t close at 10pm. All the while Unilocal has their closing hour listed as 10:30pm. Also, large groups of youths inside and out in the seating area, appeared to be friends of the rude supervisor. All in all, one star.

This place is so cute! We stopped here on our way to Boston. Great homemade ice cream! Lot’s of choices, inside and outside seating in the cute town of Darien. Definitely a must go if you are in the area. They gave my son a few tastes of different ice creams. We got milk shakes and they were amazing, a bit pricey but worth every penny! The line moved quickly and they were very attentive and quick getting us our order.

Located in a nice area with benches outside for people-​watching, I have to say that’s about as good as it gets. The service was good; we were taken care of promptly. However, I believe I had more ice chunks than pistachios in my ice cream. Babe got more ice chips than chocolate chips in his. It was our first time there so I’m not sure if that’s to be expected or due to some malfunctioning equipment. It was a bummer.

This place has the most amazing flavors – classic like chocolate peanut butter and toasted almond, and creative ones like gramcracker+honeycomb, mud pie, and so many more. Excellent quality ice cream! For example, I can definitely taste the difference between an ordinary vanilla and caramel ice cream, and the genuine Sea Salt Caramel swirl Gofers uses.
It’s expensive, ($ 4.99 for a medium scoop cup) but what Ice cream shop isn’t expensive these days? But it’s good enough Ice cream that I’d choose coming here over Baskin Robins anyday. The kids that work here are very nice too.

This review is not about Gofers Ice Cream, their ice cream is fantastic. I am giving them a 1 star review based on the customer service I received there last Sunday (4÷12÷15) at around 4:30pm. My fiancé and I are regular customer, we order the same thing every week and the girl at the counter who helped us was extremely rude. I brought it to her attention that my ice cream seemed substantially smaller than usual and she yelled at me tell me that I was wrong. My fiancé went ahead and ordered her ice cream and she seemed extremely annoyed when my fiancé wanted gummy bears on her ice cream. Upon paying for the ice cream the girl threw the change down on the counter at me and walked away, my fiancé couldn’t even believe it. I wanted to say something to a manager but I didn’t see an adult there.

Ice cream is a necessary food group in my diet. Not only does it make me happy, but it satiates that desire for something sweet. I could do without cakes and other baked goods, so when I look for a sweet release, ice cream is my go-​to option.
I live a few minutes from Gofer, and I frequent many businesses in this area yet this was my first visit. There is not much to say about the shop itself — nothing really blows you away. However there is outdoor seating, which is a huge plus on those summer nights getting ice cream.
I decided on an ice cream with a peanut butter base and peanut butter swirls/​fudge. This is my favorite ice cream combination (vanilla and peanut butter). The ice cream was surprisingly excellent. Not only was it flavorful, but it had a creamy, exceptional texture. The base ice cream makes it, because it was so creamy. I have high standards for peanut butter ice cream, and this met those.
I had poor expectations solely because I had never been here, and yet I was blown away and will certainly take another few trips back. Try it out!

i’m not sure what to say… the flavor was great… I got Blueberry Granola… BUT, the texture was off… tooooo cold, not creamy and just ok… I’ll give it another try and go for vanilla, which is the ultimate taste test…

I LOVE ice cream, I mean totally love it. It’s a food group. Some people feel it’s a treat; I feel it’s a necessity. So, when I love an ice cream shop, I think I know from whence I speak.
Unfortunately, Gofer isn’t in my back yard, or even close. I was driving home from JFK and, being too tired and hungry to make it back to the New Haven area without a pick-​me-​up, I used my Unilocal app to find this place; I am eternally grateful.
Okay, I’ve only been there once. I only had two flavors. Somehow, I don’t think I just got lucky. The Caramel Sea Salt and Mud Pie were both delicious beyond words and as creamy as I’ve ever had. The flavors are really strong and each bite is a bit of heaven. I wish I could have tried more flavors but there is a limit to everything.
Gofer’s is at least an hour away from my home so I probably can’t get there too often, but the next time I’m heading south on I-​95 to NY, I think I may make an involuntary turn off the exit to Darien and see what else this shop has to offer.

I am a huge ice cream fan, and Gopher is my absolute favorite shop! My husband and kids love it as much as I do too. Aside from the amazing homemade hard ice cream, they have frozen yogurt, Italian ices and soft serve as well.
The ice cream flavors range from traditional vanilla & rocky road (my husband’s favorite), to whimsical Gopher Tracks to sophisticated Caramel with Sea Salt (my newest favorite). And of course, when I’m watching my diet, I get Gopher Lite, which is low in sugar and calories and high in protein!
Also, the outdoor sitting area makes enjoying your ice cream even better on a warm summer night.

Fun for ice cream. Good selection, but not exactly as wide as a Baskin Robbins or something. I might rather go here though because it’s a local business. The weird thing was that the guy working the counter started freaking out when I took a few pictures for Unilocal

Great local ice cream place!
