#82, Dairy Cream at Bradley International, Windsor Locks

Fasten your seat belts and raise your tray tables.

We discovered Dairy Cream last fall on their final day of the season and missed out so this year we were not going to be denied! On our way to the airport we stopped for a pre-flight meal on a quiet Saturday afternoon.

Dairy Cream has been around since 1954 and has served traditional hard ice cream, yogurt and soft serve for years. They offer a variety of cups, cones, sundaes and shakes. Maureen was particularly impressed that they had “shots,” which most places call sprinkles or jimmies. They have all the standard flavors and a large list of exotic concoctions which seemed to be pretty popular. Their prices were very reasonable considering the large portions they dole out. The staff was friendly and patient as I was asking lots of questions.

Mighty Mo had chocolate soft serve with chocolate “shots” while I had my old standard coffee milk shake with a scoop of chocolate. Mo thought her flavor was off a bit but was excited to be having “shots”! My regular shake was large, flavorful and consistently thick to the last drop.

Next time you travel in the north central Connecticut valley or are heading to or from Bradley check out Dairy Cream. Just remember to fasten your seatbelts and raise your tray tables!
