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.

Dalice Elizabeth Winery
ImPrest? In Preston Dalice Elizabeth Winery, Preston August 2010 & November 2011 With over 30 wineries in the state at the time of this writing, there's bound to be one that I sort of gloss over and don't really give a fair shake. This would be the one. First of all, it's in Preston and it's not like Preston is a … [Read more...]
Hot Dog at Chez Lenard
Martha Stewart is a Horrible Woman Chez Lenard, Ridgefield Martha Stewart is a polarizing figure to say the least. Some people simply love her and her over-the-top advice. Others hate her for the very same. I always felt her insider trading jail sentence was ridiculous – all the more so now with what the Wall … [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...]
