We love having you
📷 by : Arethusa…where do I even begin…the perfect creamy dairy filled concoction that brightens my day any day every day. I am currently undergoing major ice cream withdrawals right now so I will now stream of conciousness journal out my love for this place. Every time I’m about to leave from Yale to go on a break I always stop by my favorite place in the entire world. Anybody who’s talked to me for more than five minutes would immediately know that New Haven is made great because of Arethusa’s presence and they would promptly be dragged to the store so I can shove raspberry ice cream down their throat. I have taken countless people here. Literally every guest I host is met with an automatic Arethusa run. I am your number one fan. Please notice me.
I am dearly missing the cranberry with chocolate chunks, coconut with chocolate chunks, raspberry, mint chocolate chip, and coffee flavors right now. Feeling absolutely deprived of my ice cream fix. I’m at a point where I swear they are judging me for how often I go. There’s been too many times where I went in for one flavor then turned around and bought another scoop because I am, indeed, that indulgent. If they have a rewards program (PLEASE MAKE ONE) where it’s 1 point per $1 spent and 100 points for a free ice cream or cheese I would’ve had six ice creams or cheeses by now. I come here weekly. It’s single-handedly the best sweet treat in the world. The best present for me would be a trip to their farms so I can meet their fantastic cows and try their dairy on-site before ending my visit with a triple scoop of ice cream. Then bang, I’m greeted with a charcuterie board laden with all of their cheeses (especially their Camembert!). Suddenly Karlie the cow is singing my name and I shed tears from the glorious sight of dairy delights and decadence. I miss you, Arethusa, my one true love.
