Longford's Ice Cream has been quietly making some of the region's favorite ice cream right here in Stamford. Now, the local manufacturer is finally opening its first Stamford scoop shop.
Longford's Ice Cream will celebrate the Grand Opening of its newest location at Newfield Green Shopping Center on Sunday, June 14, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
The opening marks a significant milestone for the company, whose wholesale production headquarters has been based in Stamford since 2017. While Longford's ice cream can already be found in restaurants, country clubs, specialty shops, and scoop shops throughout Fairfield and Westchester counties, this will be the brand's first dedicated Stamford retail location.
The new shop is owned by Stamford residents Raasikh and Diana Joseph, a husband-and-wife team who saw an opportunity to bring a beloved local ice cream brand directly to the community they call home. The couple said they were drawn to Longford's because they wanted to build a business centered around bringing people together while serving a product they truly believe in.
Visitors will find 48 flavors of Longford's signature ice cream — all certified kosher — along with kosher soft serve, milkshakes, specialty sundaes, and custom ice cream cakes available with advance notice.

Beyond the ice cream, the shop features a candy wall filled with favorite treats and a comfortable seating area that's perfect for families, birthday celebrations, and casual get-togethers.
The Grand Opening celebration includes free ice cream for the first 50 guests in line. The first child under 12 years old will receive free ice cream all summer long (one kids cup or cone per day), and families can enjoy face painting by local artist Mia Ayala.
After opening weekend, Longford's will be open seven days a week from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with extended hours until 10:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
If you're looking for an excuse to satisfy your sweet tooth this summer, Stamford's newest ice cream shop is ready to serve its first scoops.
Longford's Ice Cream is located at 597 Newfield Avenue, Stamford, CT. For more visit Longfordsicecream.com of check out @LongfordsStamford on Instagram
