New Ice Cream Shop ‘Toasty Scoops’ Coming to Former Sundae House Location in Milford

A new ice cream shop is preparing to open in one of Milford’s most recognizable locations.

Toasty Scoops is coming to 499 New Haven Avenue, the longtime home of Sundae House. Renovation work is currently underway at the property as the space is prepared for its next chapter.

According to available information, the shop plans to serve Bassetts Ice Cream, a Philadelphia-based company that has been producing ice cream since 1861 and offers a wide range of flavors.

The location was most recently occupied by Cookie 39, which operated out of the site with a food truck and had plans to expand into the building. That business has since closed.

The Sundae House location has long been a staple in the Milford community, and the new concept is expected to draw interest as it moves toward opening.

No official opening date has been announced.

Why Milford's Planning and Zoning Board Says Yes to Projects Neighbors Hate

When 64 apartments with zero affordable units got approved unanimously on Boston Post Road in March, residents who'd seen the project on Facebook wanted to know how. The answer, according to the city's own planner, is uncomfortable: state law and Milford's own zoning regulations leave the Planning and Zoning Board with very little discretion to say no to projects that comply with the code. Here's how it actually works.
