    Ben and Jerrys is great-I have eaten many pints...lol. But it is nice to stop by a store front every once in a while. You can get your ice cream in a cup, cone, pint, cake, or shake. I opted to get mine in a cup. I ordered a cup of the peanut butter cup with hot fudge and my friend ordered a cup of the non dairy chocolate chip cookie dough with peanuts. As you could imagine, they all tasted amazing.

    The location of this ice cream place is excellent. It is right next to the Blue Back Square, the most happening area of Hartford. I roam around that place a lot. Once in a while I enter this place for an ice cream. The lady behind the counter was very nice. I went for a banana split. The ice creams completely melted, the moment I started eating. I think cherry garcia was my favorite flavor, but I could not enjoy much. It all melted very quickly.

    I love Ben and Jerry's! Everyone is always super nice at this location and you know what to expect with the ice cream! Recently I went in for world vegan day for a free scoop of one of their two vegan ice creams. I choose the cookie dough which had a little bit of a strange aftertaste. However the more I ate it, the less I noticed it. It wasn't my favorite ice cream (the dairy free almond brittle was so good!) but it did the job for being free. I of course will be back to satisfy my Ben and Jerry's cravings.

    I have not seen a Ben & Jerry's in Florida so when my daughter saw this on our visit to Hartford we had to stop. It is a nice ice cream shop on Main Street with 4 tables and a window bench to sit at. I wish they had hot drinks but my wife and daughter loved the ice cream and cookies.

    Attracted by the free day and the ice cream is really delicious! Love the cone also! Enjoy the ice cream with chocolate cookie flavor!

    Who doesn't love Ben and Jerrys? Great ice cream, too many long lines. They're open till later so weekdays so it's a bit easier!

    It's no secret that Ben and Jerrys ice cream is dangerously good. Kids working here are always friendly and don't mind dishing out samples

    Add 'Get a scoop at Kilwin's" to your Summer Bucket List!…read more Food: Absolutely decadent! I got a scoop of Two Berry Pie ("Vanilla-flavored ice cream, strawberry, blueberry & sugared pie crust") in a cup and the little got Lemon Sorbetto! Both were rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. Kilwin's offers a sample so you can actually taste before you decide, which is a major win. It was a tough decision, but I will be back for the Cake Batter. The cones are made fresh in-house and smell divine. Beyond ice cream, there's a whole lineup of treats dipped in chocolate: pretzels, Oreos, marshmallows, you name it. Sweet tooth? Handled. Diet? Not. Service: Everyone was super friendly and patient, even with a line. You can tell they actually enjoy working there, which makes the whole experience feel even sweeter. Atmosphere: It's more of a grab-and-go setup, like just a candy store that sells ice cream not an ice cream shop, so there's no indoor seating but right outside there are plenty of benches in downtown West Hartford. The area is busy, walkable, and perfect for a side of people-watching. The quality is top-tier, the flavors are spot-on, and everything feels like a treat because it is. Worth every penny. 10/10 recommend for locals and visitors too.

    A sweets place for social media…read more Came to this side of west Hartford because a new dumpling spot opened up and this place was right next to it. Because we were already on an adventure, might as well try one more place as well. Inside has all the decor of an influencer styled place. Fake grass on the wall, lots of bright popping colors and plenty of places to snag the selfie. The menu is laden with sweets of every shape and size. Everything with loud pictures and kinda pricy price tags for just sweets. Their milkshakes were mostly 20 dollars and were towers of candy, donuts, and decadence. We did a small smattering of their truffles and a couple of their other sweets. A Dubai chocolate square and a chocolate ganache layered brownie. The place is very concerned about outward appearances, but what about the flavor? That I can report is actually pretty good. The truffle is a brigadeiro truffle. It's a soft and kinda chewy truffle, like a nougat and mochi hybrid. They were very pretty and flavorful, but not what one would call a truffle in the traditional sense. The Dubai chocolate square was dusted in gold dust and has the expected pistachio crème and phyllo inside. The chocolate was creamy and wonderful in flavor and consistency. The issue was the size, the chocolate shell kinda shattered on the bite and led to a bit of a mess in the car. The brownie was good. The chocolate ganache was delicious and the brownie was a little overdone. But the ganache really helped salvage the dish. It's pricy, is very much a place you go to for pictures of you and your entourage living their best life. But the quality is there and below the glitz and glamour there's a solid sweets shop here. For some, the facade may be a detractor, but they got good sweets so they are worth a try.

The shop has such a fun, vibrant vibe. Between the colorful graffiti artwork, décor, and playful atmosphere, the atmosphere instantly puts you in a good mood. We tried their award-winning Gram Jam, and I completely understand why it's one of their signature flavors. It was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. I also tried a plain vanilla ice cream topped with Lucky Charms. There were lots of toppings to choose, from crushed Oreos, cookie dough, brownie bites, Reese's Pieces, sprinkles, hot fudge, caramel, whipped cream, fresh fruit, and cherries...making it fun to customize whatever you're craving.

Just a 0.6-mile walk, nbd, right? :D But on the way there I did get to see where the State Capitol was since I walked right by it. Yeah, there's a reason it's called "Capitol Street". I also didn't realize I would be walking into Frog Hollow, so that was cool, I guess. But the visit was worth the walk. The intent of coming here was so that my liver could oxidize the drinks I had earlier. Additionally, the ice cream did make me thankful the walk was longer than I had intended it to be even though I don't really know Hartford pretty much at all. I did have a sneaking suspicion I had had this before, so I looked back at my old reviews. Lo and behold, I DID have Capital Ice Cream before at the Hartford Taste Festival when I went last year and tried their Hartford Dough Down. In fact, it was one of the places I had remarked I most wanted to give an in-earnest visit to when I talked about it in that review. Because of this, I have now gone to a place in-person after first visiting their stand at a festival (I still need to do that for Sandra's Next Generation one fine day since I had their festival food the day before the historic flood of 2024). This time around I got to see a little of what the interior of the place looked like. You can find some interesting fact about Connecticut while you're there. I didn't get to take too many photos of that, but I at least got to snap myself some lore about Hartford. Apparently it's one of this nation's oldest cities, being founded in 1635. Cool stuff! I'd love to come back even if only for the lovely history. They have an outdoor area you can have your ice cream in, and an area where you can go downstairs to eat I believe. It's a bit cramped when trying to order, so something to keep in mind. Thankfully the service is great, quick and efficient. This time I nabbed myself a large key lime pie milkshake, and I HAD to go with The Force! I may not come from a galaxy far, far away, but I needed some Force goddammit! Originally I was going order the Charter Oak until I'd realized there was key lime pie ice cream and I couldn't say no to key lime pie. The Force is a chocolate ice cream with Oreo's mixed in and whipped cream on top as well as confectionery sugar. Overall, it's a definitely a great stop for ice cream lovers who want to do a CT Ice Cream Tour. I'll even go so far as to say it is a great ice cream to have when walking by the State Capitol. While I am more partial to having ice cream at harbors and sea shores (think having the ice cream on a dock while my feet dangle over the water), ice cream by a major government building is still a very beautiful thought. Of the two things I had, I would definitely say I preferred the milkshake over the sundae. I think on summer days key lime pie ice cream is more refreshing overall. But both things were very good. For hot days, this is an outstanding choice! If you're someone who loves to learn some new history, definitely come here. If you like having ice cream walking by a state capitol, this is definitely the place for you. This might not be my number-one place to have ice cream, but I definitely think this was a tasty treat that I'd be more than happy to visit again in Hartford.

    Growing up in a place like Connecticut kind of spoiled me when it comes to going to a nice diner,…read moreso when I was back in the nutmeg state a few weeks back I made it a point to hit some up for nostalgia sake. My wife and I were visiting a bookstore nearby when we saw the large sign for AC Petersen Farms and became intrigued. This place is pretty large from the outside and the old school signing definitely pulled both of us in. The inside resembles what I vaguely remember of 80's and early 90's diners and it was a very comforting feeling. The menu has a great selection of breakfast and lunch (I don't recall seeing or looking for dinner, but maybe) and it had lots to choose from. I'll be honest, I mainly wanted to just get ice cream but I figured I would be an adult and order an actual meal so I skipped the ice cream and order the tuna melt with french fries on the side. The friendly waitress we had brought us our food relatively quickly and I was very pleased with what I was served. It was a pretty standard diner tuna melt and that's exactly what I wanted. The sandwich tasted really good and the french fries and ketchup I enjoyed on the side did the job. Overall, AC Petersen Farms isn't a complex restaurant because it doesn't need to be. This diner has good food, a comfortable atmosphere, and a friendly staff proudly representing what a Connecticut diner is all about.
