It's Ice Cream Season in Wilton! Where Do You Get Your Fix?

WILTON, CT — Ah, springtime in Wilton. The crocuses are blooming, the birds are singing, and the ice cream shops are opening their doors to welcome back sweet-toothed customers. But with so many options for frozen treats, where does a discerning ice cream fan go to satisfy their cravings? We asked readers to dish on their favorite local scooperies, and you all really started licking your chops!

The clear front-runner among responses was Scoops in Wilton Center. Readers raved about the "classic hometown ambiance" and "time honored tradition" of this long-standing establishment. As one fan put it, "The original is always the best!" Another praised Scoops for its "delicious ice cream, good flavors, great employees." And one sweet-toothed fan travels all the way from Stamford just for a taste of Scoops' "quality, friendliness and tradition." With endorsements like that, we might have to double down on our Scoops trips this summer.

But Scoops wasn't the only game in town getting locals' taste buds tantalized. Gofer Ice Cream had its fans too, with multiple readers lauding the "best tasting ice cream" and "decent portion and delicious choices." One happy customer summed it up: "They're open later than other places, really big scoops, good variety and delicious flavor."

Further afield, a few Wilton residents crossed town lines in their quest for the perfect scoop. Ridgefielder Deborah Ann's got a shoutout for its "great atmosphere, great selection" and the "added benefit of chocolates, candies and gifts."

Of course, no discussion of Wilton's ice cream scene would be complete without a nod to the iconic Heibeck's Stand. While they only got one devoted mention in the responses, that lone reviewer sang their praises with gusto: "Magnificent flavors, creamy consistency, served with hospitality at the one true destination eatery that Wilton has to offer. Heibeck's is the taste of summer!"

So whether you're a die-hard Scoops scooper, a Gofer guy, or you've got your own under-the-radar favorite, one thing is clear - Wilton has no shortage of amazing ice cream options to indulge in this season.
