Get ready, Cromwell! This July, a delightful new spot is opening its doors on 319 Main Street, promising to be your next favorite hangout: Woody’s Coffee & Ice Cream Shop. Imagine stepping into a retro-style haven where the rich aroma of gourmet coffee mingles with the sweet, inviting scent of freshly made pastries and waffles. And that’s not all—Woody’s will offer a mouth-watering selection of ice cream with an impressive 32 flavors, including dairy-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free options to satisfy everyone’s cravings.
Woody Dudley, the spirited owner behind this exciting new venture, has always dreamed of owning his own business. His wife Jessica, who operates the successful Jessica’s Color Room Salon right next door, had always encouraged him to do so because of his extroverted personality.
After years of working as an inspector for a corporation, Woody longed for a more fulfilling path where he could interact with people and share his enthusiasm for coffee, ice cream, and warm hospitality. When the opportunity arose, Woody decided to pursue his passion, with Jessica confident that his outgoing nature was perfect for creating a welcoming community space.
“I’ve always loved being around people and making them smile. Opening this shop is a dream come true, and I can’t wait to welcome everyone in!” says Woody. “I’m excited to see familiar faces and meet new ones, sharing happy moments and great conversations over a cup of coffee or a scoop of ice cream. It’s the realization of a vision I’ve had for years, and I’m thrilled to finally bring it to life.”
Patrons will want to try Woody’s Waffles, a specialty of his that boasts a perfect balance of crispiness on the outside and fluffiness on the inside.
Woody’s Coffee & Ice Cream Shop is not just another coffee shop—it’s a community hub where people will enjoy a variety of treats. Whether you’re in the mood for a rich espresso, a flaky pastry, a warm waffle, or a refreshing scoop of ice cream, Woody’s has something for you. The diverse range of ice cream flavors, catering to various dietary needs, ensures that everyone can indulge in a sweet treat.
For those on the go, Woody’s makes it easy to enjoy their delicious offerings. Customers will have the convenience of ordering and calling ahead, making it perfect for busy mornings or quick snack breaks.
Woody’s Coffee & Ice Cream Shop is set to be more than just a place to grab a bite.
