Robinson's Tea Room

Loretta Vertucci of Robinson's Tea Room said that during the hot summer months, their most popular products are their raspberry and peach iced teas. Vertucci said the iced teas are caffeine free, sugar free and naturally sweet.

"The tropical fruit flavored hot teas are also popular - even during the summer," said Vertucci.

Soups On

Even soup is still popular among Three Villagers in the summertime. This local eatery says that many of their patrons ask for their scallop and bacon soup or Italian vegetable soup with eggplant during the hotter months. Soups On also serves gazpacho- a tomato-based cold soup.

Stop & Shop

Summertime means barbeque at Stop & Shop. Once the heat hits, this supermarket fills their end caps with hot dog and hamburger buns, bags of charcoal and of course everything you need to make the perfect smore.

Stop & Shop also boasts loads of fresh produce, featuring locally grown peaches and strawberries, and different varieties of watermelon.

Friendly's

For fans of Friendly's Ice Cream, manager Jennifer told Patch that the store goes through classic vanilla ice cream more than any other flavor.

This Italian Ice shop located on Stony Brook Road said Graham Cracker Crunch and Rainbow are their most popular sellers in the summertime.
