To Tail Winds Ice Cream I voyaged, guided not by star maps, but by the Force… and the smell of peanut butter and fudge wafting through the air like a tractor beam pulling me in. My mission? The Fudge-O-Nutter Sundae. My outcome? Utter surrender to the sweet side.

This sundae—oh, what a marvel it is. A galactic collision of soft serve whipped smoother than Yoda’s syntax, rich hot fudge thick enough to clog a Death Star exhaust port, and peanut butter sauce that sticks to your soul like a loyal Wookiee. A cherry crowns this beauty, with chocolate sprinkles raining down like blaster fire in a rebel skirmish. Every bite? An explosion worthy of a fireworks show over Endor.

And just as I sat, indulging in this frozen masterpiece, the Force delivered ambiance—a plane soared low overhead, fresh from the nearby airport, like a rebel cruiser making its escape. The rumble overhead? Music. A reminder that this spot is a launchpad—for ice cream, joy, and possibly Jedi enlightenment.

Atmosphere: Outdoor seating with a view of trees, sky, and sometimes low-flying aircraft. Bring your spoon and your binoculars.

Menu Lore:

Soft serve and hard ice cream in countless flavors—Salted Caramel Chocolate Pretzel, Campfire S’mores, and even Vegan Cookies n Cream.

Specialty sundaes, floats, and mix-ins worthy of galactic council discussion.

“Doggie Dish” for the loyal creature companion.

Service: Fast and friendly, like a droid programmed for hospitality.

Final Verdict:
The Fudge-O-Nutter Sundae was strong with the Force. The atmosphere? A Jedi meditation zone with dessert as your master. Tail Winds is more than ice cream—it’s a takeoff point for happiness.

I absolutely love this place. It was a hidden gem I stumbled upon while looking for another ice cream place. The ice cream quality is great, different flavor options along with a few mainstay ones. My family’s favorite is Rum & Raisin, but was only available for about a week. Not to worry, we found other favorites to enjoy. The team is also great and are wonderful servers with friendly attitudes.

First time ever visiting this place and it was delicious.

The fudge o nutter Sunday with the chocolate brownie fudge hard ice cream sundae was excellent!

We like to try new places and we would definitely recommend this place as a regular or as a must visit if in the area!

Found this gem while out by Bradley Airport. This place is probably some of the best ice cream I have ever had! Highly recommend the coconut almond!!!

Friendly staff working here and their ice cream is so good. I got a large milkshake with mint chip and cookie dough ice cream and I would definitely recommend that. It can be busy so don’t be in a rush if you’re going here. But what would you expect for a summer night on the weekend? Still weren’t that slow considering I had about 10 orders of at least 2 people or more in front of me. If I come back to the area again and they’re open, I’ll definitely be stopping again.

Out family’s favorite icecream spot in the area. Has a nice outdoor area to sit. They have many options most shops don’t have such as Dole whip soft serve, hand made icecream sandwiches, vegan, and no sugar added options.

Seems to be a trend with these 1 Star reviews. Stopped at Tailwinds before picking daughter up at airport for 955 pickup. left house extra early as we knew Tailwinds closed at 10pm. Pulled into parking lot at 910pm with open sign still on and as we pulled in they turned it off and kid ran out and got open flag and we asked if they were still open and he said no they just closed. Comeon owner. You can do better. If it was you then shame in you, if it wasn’t then hire kids who wanna work their full shift.

Deleted previous 5 star review as I do not feel it is deserved anymore. Change your hours if you close over 15 minutes before the listed time. Never in my life have I been able to just leave work early because it is slow or I don’t want to be there. People come from far away after long days and for special occasions because they want your ice cream specifically and you show a complete lack of respect for this consumer loyalty by not having the patience to wait till your own listed close time. Obviously you make enough money to not see the need to stay open for the full time you set so my family will gladly not bother you with our unwanted money anymore. Enjoy your head start home!
