Harry Caray’s Fave Holy Cow Ice Cream Shop, Newtown May 2019 Something happens to me far more infrequently than you’d believe: I visit a place for this website and wonder if I’d been there before.

Scotties Frozen Custard
Egg on My Face Scotties Frozen Custard, Colchester May 2019 Pardon me for a moment as I set my brain to accept the fact that “Scotties” has no apostrophe. Collins Creamery in Enfield doesn’t either, but that one’s easier to accept. Then there’s Collin’s Diner in North Canaan which does have one whereas Phil … [Read more...]

Wentworth Homemade Ice Cream
I Went, For What It's Worth Wentworth Homemade Ice Cream, Hamden June, 2014 Here's the craziest thing about Wentworth's: It's never open on Sundays. "Fine," you say, "they're observing the Sabbath," or, "they want to enjoy a weekend day," or whatever. All valid reasons. But Wentworth's is just outside of … [Read more...]
Ferris Acres Creamery
A Good Way to Spend a Day Off Ferris Acres Creamery, Newtown August 2013 “Hey Steve, why haven’t you gone to Ferris Acres yet? Bueller? Bueller?” My answer is always the same, “Oh but I have.

Dairy De-Lite
Dari Delight? Dairy Delite? Dairy De-Lite, Woodbury Woodbury is quite famous for being the antiques capital of Connecticut. A drive down route 6 through town certainly bears this out.

Sweet Cioccolata
Sweeeet, Bro Sweet Cioccolata, Wallingford May 19, 2018 I joked before that downtown Wallingford must have the most bars per capita in the state. I have no idea if that’s even close to being true, but at least one Walli-World resident noted, “Yeah, there are a lot.” So there you have it. Data Science at its … [Read more...]
Dubl Twister
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
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
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...]
