Are Thu Seriousa? Ice Cream and Milk at Arethusa Farm Dairy, Bantam July 21, 2012 Since we are we, and we are CTMQ, and by we I mean me with my compliant family, we visited the almost eerily clean Arethusa Farm about 5 miles away before coming here, to the retail store, to enjoy the end products. If you … [Read more...]

Il Bacio
Licensed to Il Ice Cream at Il Bacio, Danbury My first thought upon entering Il Bacio was, “since I can’t get the phrase ‘Licensed to Il’ out of my head, wouldn’t it be awesome if they had a Brass Monkey ice cream or gelato flavor?” Sadly (and expectedly), they did not. Because really, that would be kind of … [Read more...]
Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream
Mystical Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream, Mystic July 14, 2012 It’s not often I can knock out three CTMQ-worthy food/restaurant pages in one fell swoop. (After writing that phrase, I looked at it and wondered where it came from. And it’s stuff like that that makes the Internet so great.) After dining a few … [Read more...]
Divine Treasures
The Manchester Parkade is Like a Box of Chocolates Divine Treasures, Manchester June 9, 2012 Let’s be honest here – The sprawling Manchester Parkade is a mess. Not just because some of it is being torn down, but also because it is a jumble of some seriously crappy stores mixed in with a few gems. Divine … [Read more...]
Bridgewater Chocolates
A Truffle not to be Trifled With Bridgewater Chocolates, Bridgewater (Brookfield and West Hartford retail stores) Note: Aside from the intro and lack of inisghtful comments, this page is merely a copy of the one that I wrote for the Roadfood "Eat Before you Die" list, here. Keep in mind this was written 3 years … [Read more...]
Belgique Chocolatier (Closed)
Très Délicieux, Très Cher Belgique Chocolatier, Kent February 25, 2012 This place closed in the fall of 2012. This was always my go-to anytime I went hiking out near Kent. Sad face. Also, just having re-read this page in 2019... it's a shame I put no effort into it, as Belgique was pretty great. The Chocolate … [Read more...]
The Concrete Factory (Closed)
You'd Hard Ice Cream... The Concrete Factory, Ashford November 2011 The Concrete Factory closed in 2013. Let's dispense with the obvious first: This is a very oddly named ice cream boutique. Ashford doesn't have too many attractions. It was late November yet we got ice cream. Now that you've wrapped your head … [Read more...]
Wildowsky Dairy
Did the Wildowsky Eat Too Much Butterfatsky? Wildowsky Dairy Farm, Lisbon December 11, 2011 When I started putting together my "Other Great Homemade Ice Cream" list for this website, I figured every stop along the way would be delicious and wonderful. And, for the most part, that has certainly been the case. I … [Read more...]
Salem Valley Farms
Ah-Salem `A-Makum My Ice Cream Salem Valley Farms, Salem July 16, 2011 I know I’m the king of clever title puns, but c’mon, this one is extra special good. Just like the ice cream down in Salem, right at the end of the current Route 11. You see what I did there? Geeze, it’s almost like I’m a real professional … [Read more...]
Sweet Claude’s
I Clawed My Way Over You for Ice Cream Sweet Claude’s, Cheshire June 25, 2011 I can’t remember where I read a blurb about Sweet Claude’s, but it was pretty much at the same time I decided to seek out Connecticut’s homemade ice cream spots. I read it was great and that the ice cream was made on-premises and bam! It … [Read more...]
