New Ice Cream Shop Opening In Cheshire

CHESHIRE, CT — A father-son duo is opening a new ice cream shop in the former home of Sweet Claude’s Ice Cream in Cheshire, according to the Cheshire Herald.

The Cheshire Herald reports Dinesh and Shahan Kukreja plan to open their third Micro Creamery of Connecticut at the property at 830 South Main St. in October. Sweet Claude’s closed its longtime location and relocated to the Ball & Socket Arts center two years ago.

The Kukrejas also own Micro Creamery of Connecticut locations in Woodbridge and Milford.

Micro Creamery is “driven by our passion for community and highlighting some of CT’s super premium, hand-crafted Ice Cream for our customers,” according to a post on its website.

“With locations in Woodbridge and Milford, we're creating a family friendly dog inclusive environment and a place where people can make memories that will last forever,” the post reads. “Our theme is inspired by the ever-popular microbrewery concept. We have 6 different local vendors with over 70 Ice Creams from all over Connecticut.”

Micro Creamery’s current vendors are Big Dipper in Prospect, Praline’s in Wallingford, Buck’s Ice Cream in Milford, Salem Valley Farms in Salem, Arethusa Farm in Bantam, and Cold Fusion Gelato in Westport.
