No coffee!
Maureen and I spent a couple hours touring the Naugatuck valley this afternoon on her 169 town quest to visit a historic place in every Connecticut town. Along the way today we drove through the beautiful rural town of Bethany, which has many stables and horse farms to see. It also has Billy’s Ice Cream & Marketplace on Amity Road.
Billy’s is a nice quaint place that is more than an ice cream shop. They serve a product from The Big Dipper, which is an ice cream shop in nearby Prospect, Connecticut. They have a wide variety of flavors and all the basics…cone, cup and shakes. They offer hard ice cream and soft serve and also sell ice cream cakes and gourmet ice cream sandwiches.
With no coffee ice cream, what to do. I went for a chocolate milkshake with hard ice cream while Mighty Mo went for soft chocolate on a sugar cone with chocolate sprinkles. The shake was nice and thick and smooth on a hot 90F+ day while Maureen enjoyed her soft chocolate on a water cone.
If in the area I strongly recommend a stop at Billy’s. You won’t be dissapointed!
