No artificial flavors, colors, high fructose corn syrup....none of that stuff. Family owned since 1915. They make their own ice cream. One location. About 40 flavors of hard ice cream, some of which rotate by season. They also have soft serve, but you go there for the hard stuff. I had two scoops. One each of pure Madagascar vanilla, and banana. Both divine. You could see and taste small chunks of banana. Naturally, I got a brain freeze after about 30 seconds. Am intrigued by "6 flights for $10.20". Next time. 5 smooth, creamy, dense stars!

After some fellow Yelpers suggested Capital Ice Cream, my boyfriend and I decided to check it out…read morebefore we headed home from Hartford, and it successfully lived up to the hype. 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. The staff were friendly and the shop was clean. Between the creative flavors, quality ice cream, and unique atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend too.

At the recommendation of my CM when we leaving a Yelp Event, I decided to walk over to Capital Ice…read moreCream from the Peruvian Bar on Main Street. Yeah... you read that right. 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.

There was a good variety of flavors but they were pretty ordinary. Although it was warm outside, the ice cream served to my friends and I was already partially melted when served, which indicates to me the freezers are not handling the doors opening often very well. Ice cream should be served still hard, without any liquid already pooling at the bottom. The ice cream itself was good but nothing extraordinary. Portion sizes were normal , though pricey compared to other local areas that offer heaping portions for similar prices. $8 for a small scoop in a bowl with 2 toppings is a bit steep in my opinion. They are also cash (or Venmo) only. Parking was easy on the street. There were seating options both inside in the AC and outside , it is a nice area along the main strip of Wethersfield. Good if you're in the area but probably not something I would drive out of the way for.

The Vietnamese coffee ice cream was great. We came again today after a nice local lunch, looking for a small sweet treat to end the day. The inside was dirty. The ice cream freezer had years of ice and grime built up on the inside. It was half empty and the flavors remaining were fairly mundane. We tried the most interesting looking one - a milk and cereal creation. It tasted like warm vanilla ice cream with hints of crushed up salty, stale cracker.

TikTok Sent Me Here, and I'm Glad It Did!…read more I discovered Feshafeesh in Middletown after someone sent me a TikTok video, and naturally, I had to go check it out for myself. This is a small, fairly new dessert spot, and my experience was amazing from start to finish. When you walk up, there are large glass windows that give you a nice view inside. The space has a simple, modern white-and-brown aesthetic with brown stools, a wooden countertop, and a small seating area where you can sit and look outside while enjoying your treats. The owner was working in the back when we visited and was very welcoming and helpful. I had quite a few questions because there are so many delicious options on the menu that honestly, you're going to want to try everything! He was happy to explain things and help me decide what to order. We tried two Dirty Sodas: Pink Cloud and Ocean Breeze. Both were sweet, fizzy, refreshing, and really tasty. I definitely want to come back and work my way through some of the other drinks because there were several that caught my attention. For dessert, I ordered the Kinder Stick, and this was SO good! It had roughly five fresh strawberries on a stick, topped with chocolate, Kinder Bueno, and toasted coconut flakes. The combination was absolutely delectable. You get the freshness of the strawberries, the sweetness of the chocolate and Kinder Bueno, and that little bit of texture and flavor from the toasted coconut. It was the kind of dessert that completely satisfies your sweet tooth. One thing I really appreciated is that they use fresh ingredients, handmade batters, and make things to order. You can taste that freshness in what we ordered. I actually went later in the evening, but I can easily see this being a great spot to visit with the kids after school, stop by after work, or just come in when you're craving something sweet. It really feels like a place for everyone. Overall, the drinks were delicious, the dessert was amazing, the owner was welcoming, and there are so many things on the menu I still want to try. TikTok definitely did its job with this recommendation! I'll be back.
