Opened 24/7!
My good friend Laura Miller-Cozean recommended this new place for ice cream in the quaint village of Chester and I must admit it is fantastic.
Honeycone Craft Ice Cream is three weeks old and if I had to bet it is here to stay. It sits nicely on Main Street, next to the Pattaconk Bar & Grill and just down the street from Pattaconk Ice Cream. The staff is friendly and welcoming with staff dressed in Halloween costumes. While we were eating our heavenly treats, their was a steady stream of customers coming and going.
On first glance it looks like all the basics are present but their ice cream is anything but basic. Maureen had a chocolate dipped sugar cone with chocolate orange ice cream which had a rich, creamy chocolate taste with an orange finish. Since I could not have my traditional milkshake I opted for one of my faves—maple walnut in a cup. The maple walnuts are sourced locally with a splash of maple syrup from a Middle Haddam (Connecticut) sugary. Because the picture on Facebook looked so good, we bought an ice cream sandwich with ginger molasses cookies and pumpkin spice ice cream for dessert.
As we were sitting outside enjoying these treasures, one of the owners stopped by and asked our opinion and told us they will be opened 24/7…eh year round, which is just fine with me. If you need a fix this winter head to Honeycone in Chester.
