Praline’s Cafe

Specialties

Praline’s Café Downtown Southington has the largest variety of ice cream in town – almost 50 scrumptious flavors. Traditional favorites as well as original recipes are available exclusively at Praline’s Café, there’s something for everyone – even the most discerning palette — no matter what time of year. Because we are open year round, we can service your needs for any occasion. Our staff is pleasant, knowledgeable and reliable and willing to work with you on customized orders.

Praline’s own-​made product is not mass produced. Our ice cream is made in small batches of 5 gallon vats. From Vanilla to Peanut butter Chip Swirl, we make sure that every one of our flavors is the best it can be. Unlike other brands, no air is added or used during the ice cream making process. This makes the ice cream perfectly smooth and creamy… the best tasting ice cream around!

Praline’s Café Downtown Southington is a family-​oriented atmosphere and has the charm of an old fashioned ice cream parlor. Part of the downtown dining district experience, we are only a few short blocks from the Rails to Trails walkway.

Meet the Business Owner

John and Nancy S.

Business Owner

We have owned Praline’s Café since 2006. Upon learning that the store was for sale, we saw an opportunity that we could not resist — a charming ice cream store with an old fashioned feel found in the heart of downtown Southington. Our career backgrounds in Operations Management and Design, were a perfect blend of business and creativity that was needed for the store to grow.

Eager for change, we gave the store a fresh look, added a visual management system and implemented a marketing plan as well as a training program for our employees.

Our continued focus on customer satisfaction drives us to seek constant and continuous improvements for our business.
