CT Homemade Ice Cream, Cheese, & Chocolate Trails

Dubl Twister

April 5, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Muito Obrigado Ice Cream at Double Twister, Danbury Danbury has a very large Brazilian population. As you’d then expect, there are a bunch of Brazilian restaurants in Danbury. (My quick research shows a distinct lack of true Brazilian waxing operations in town, however.) Dubl Twister is unique among … [Read more...]

Quiet Corner Creamery

October 4, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Quiet Corner Creamery, Putnam August 13, 2017 For some reason, many years ago, I decided to maintain a list of "homemade ice cream joints" for this website. Which, of course, meant that I'd "have to" visit and enjoy them all. (The reason was fairly simple: I drag my lovely wife and sons … [Read more...]

Hastings Farm

September 18, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Make Haste! Hastings Farm, Suffield Multiple visits I’ve been happily popping along the Connecticut Cheese Trail for a decade now. I must admit that I’m surprised that no such official trail yet exists. After all, everyone loves cheese. And baby cows. I first found Hastings farm in 2013 and was very … [Read more...]

Tschudin Chocolates & Confections

January 9, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Tschop NoTsch Tschudin Chocolates & Confections, Middletown January 9, 2015 I have no idea how to pronounce Tschudin. Is the ‘T’ completely silent, or is it a whisper of a ‘T’ sound? Or does it not even matter, because the mad (in a good way) polymath behind the eponymous chocolate shop has the full name of Rob … [Read more...]

Cheese Boro Whey (Closed)

January 19, 2016 by Steve 1 Comment

I Guess It's The Cheese Boro Way Cheese Boro Whey, Stonington May 16, 2015 Reports say Cheese Boro Whey closed in 2018. Man, it’s been quite a while since I’ve done a new CT Cheese Trail post. (If curious, the CT Cheese Trail is not a real thing. I made it up, but I maintain a pretty good list of CT cheese … [Read more...]

Bush Meadow Farm (Closed)

July 13, 2015 by Steve Leave a Comment

The Boy Who Stared at Goats Bush Meadow Farm, Union November 2009 Bush Meadow Farm ceased the little restaurant and cheese-making operation in 2012 or so and a decade later, it re-emerged as a sort of wedding and events venue. “Today? Oh, we’re gonna take a little drive up to Union.” Not exactly words … [Read more...]

Ashley’s Ice Cream

March 9, 2015 by Steve Leave a Comment

For the Dog Days of Summer Ashley's Ice Cream, New Haven (+ 4 other locations) September 9, 2014 I’ll readily admit that writing up visits to all of Connecticut's homemade ice cream joints is a bit of a slog. It’s hard. Aside from a few standout stands, the rest just pretty much... exist. But I started … [Read more...]

Fascia’s Chocolates

February 12, 2015 by Steve Leave a Comment

Fascianably Old School Fascia’s, Waterbury Multiple Visits Going to Fascia’s reminds me of going to a really good Connecticut brewery. You exit the highway and drive to a somewhat blighted industrial area and park at a non-descript beige and brown building. But once inside – hoo boy – it’s magic. … [Read more...]

Munson’s Chocolates

February 6, 2015 by Steve 1 Comment

C'Mun Sons, We've Chocolate to Buy For Mama Munson’s, Bolton February 16, 2013 (and many others) Everyone in Connecticut knows Munson’s, right? They are, by far, the biggest and most far-reaching chocolatier in the state. After all, there are Munson’s stores all over the state - which you can find here. Of … [Read more...]

CocoaShak (Closed)

February 5, 2015 by Steve Leave a Comment

CocoaWhacked CocoaShak, Cheshire February 2013 Y'know... This Chocolate Trail thing is a fickle thing. I said fickle, not butter brickle. It was created only a few years ago in 2011 or so, and while it has added a few spots over the subsequent few years, it has already lost three. And if I was a betting man, I'd … [Read more...]
