“This place is a total gem. The ice cream is incredibly creamy and full of flavor, and sitting outside while eating it makes the whole experience even better. It is definitely my favorite spot to satisfy a sweet tooth on a nice day.”
Tirson RenzGoogle review“Good ice cream, gorgeous views, fantastic breezes at the top of this hill, make Collins Creamery a must see.”
Susan SmithGoogle reviewStore bought pints only get you so far
Freezer aisle ice cream was made months ago in a factory three states away. A warm Connecticut evening deserves better than a waxy carton and a plastic spoon. And the drive thru line across town? That is an errand, not a memory.
There is a farm up on Powder Hill that still does it the old way. Small batches, made steps from the window they are scooped at, eaten at a picnic table while the sun goes down over the fields.
Fresh made, here on the farm
The Collins Creamery sits at 9 Powder Hill Rd in Enfield, where the pasture meets the picnic tables. The board at the window runs deeper than any freezer aisle, and every scoop was churned a short walk from where you are standing.
- Homemade ice cream made in small batches, right here on the farm
- Frozen yogurt plus a rotating low fat and sugar free board
- Homemade pies, cakes, pints, and Italian ice to take home
- Picnic tables, hilltop views, and a tractor playscape for the kids
More than two dozen flavors on the board
The board changes with the season and the specials drop all summer. These four have a following of their own.
Purple Cow
The one everyone asks about. Order it once and you are a regular.
Collins Compost
A name only a farm could get away with. Ask the window what is in it.
Sweet Cream
The plainest thing on the board and the hardest one to stop eating.
Mint Chocolate Chip
Scooped tall on a fresh waffle cone.
