Another reader agreed Ferris is stellar, swooning "Creamiest smooth ice cream, a huge variety of flavors, the best strawberry ice cream in the universe!!" The universe? Wow, that's some primo strawberry ice cream.

Another gelato lover elaborated, "Newbury has the best gelato I've had outside of Italy. The flavors are spot on and delicious." If it's good enough for Italy, it's good enough for Brookfield!
Of course, no ice cream ranking would be complete without giving a nod to the creamy soft serve at Stew Leonard's, which one reader highlighted: "It's soft serve and doesn't cost a fortune. And it's creamy and tasty!" Stew's has locations in Danbury, Norwalk and Newington.

A few outliers got some love too, like Il Bacio in Danbury ("Delicious and a lot of flavors"), Holy Cow in Newtown ("Creamy. Big chunks of chocolate and also has dynamite soft serve"), and even Dairy Queen ("Flavor and consistency").
