#84, Moodus Ice Cream Parlor, East Haddam

One of eight complete!

On my way home from playing golf at Black Birch Golf Course in Moodus, I stopped at the Moodus Ice Cream Parlor. I have probably driven by this place a dozen times but wasn’t aware of it until my friend Conrad pointed it out. Apparently they have graced this shopping plaza for more than 20 years!

Moodus is a village in the town of East Haddam and best known for the “Moodus Noises” that have been attributed to a serious of shallow, micro-earthquakes in the area.

I was hot so I stuck with basics and had a nice, thick, creamy coffee milkshake with a scoop of chocolate ice cream. I also splurged and had a Del’s lemonade to wash it down and both hit the spot! The Moodus Ice Cream Parlor was packed with lots of kids and moms, probably just getting out of school. they serve a variety of hard ice cream and soft serve in cups or cones. They make shakes and floats and had a crazy list of sundaes that someone named Maureen would have loved to try,

With this stop in Moodus…ahem East Haddam, we have now completed all the towns in Middlesex County and only have seven counties to go. This is also number 84 which is one shy of the half way point in this quest. After our next visit we will do a review at the midpoint.

Happy ice cream all!
