Until I went to Pompelmo Gelateria, if you asked me if I liked gelato, I'd say it's fine, but I'm…read morenot a big ice cream/gelato person (lactose ). BUT Mel makes absolutely killer, world renowned gelato that it's flipped my whole perspective on gelato. She and her team are so good about allergens and cross-contamination- there's always multiple gluten-free and vegan options that make no sacrifices in taste or texture. My go-to is some sort of fruit flavor (limoncello/mojito/forest berry) + dark chocolate and it always slaps. Last- I have mad respect to business owners who continue to work in their shop day in and day out. It's pretty common for ice cream shops to be staffed by high school kids which is fine, no shade, everyone needs a day off, but Mel being there scooping really ensures the quality of the gelato and cleanliness of the shop stay at the highest level. no doubt!

We had mimosas to toast- they were too sweet from perhaps a bit more orange juice than needed. The classic brunch was generally nicely served, but it came lukewarm. My poached eggs hopefully free range were tasty but small-ish, the bacon was just fine, but the brioche toast was dreadful: so dry that it crumbled. Definitely, real brioche buns or high quality sliced brioche bread should be introduced. The fruit bowl that accompanied my brunch was decent. The server was not too attentive.

Milani Italian Bakery & Café is an Italian Pastry Bakery that opened in Northford, Connecticut in…read more2003. It was founded by husband and wife Italian immigrants Emilio and Marina Milani. After 25 years in the bakery business in the Italian village of Moricone (outside of Rome), the Milanis decided to leave their homeland and share their culinary Italian culture in the United States. After arriving in 1993, the couple opened a gourmet coffee shop named 'Coffee Island Cafe' where they specialized in sandwiches, panini, and other baked goods. 10 years later, they opened their own Italian bakery in the center of Northford. Emilio comes from a long line of classical Italian bakers and credits his father Tullio for teaching him the craft. The Milanis' son, also named Tullio, works alongside them at the bakery as well. Some of the specialties at this 'pasticceria' include cakes, pies, cannoli, sfogliatelle, lobster tails, bughinotti, almond tarts, cream puffs, éclairs, zeppole, various Italian cookies, panettone, hot cross buns, stuffed breads, Italian bread, gelato, and Italian coffee. My family and I recently stopped in at Milani's to get some delicious pastries. Although we've lived nearby for years, we had only just heard of them and wanted to give them a try. We were greeted by Marina when we walked in. She was very friendly and we chatted for a while. We decided to get a box of delicious Florentine cookies, as well as a large Sprinkle cookie for our older son. I also ordered their Chocolate Lemon Pie, which is my favorite kind of pie in the world! Although I've tried several Chocolate Lemon Pies from various area bakeries over the years, we thought that Milani's take on it was one of the better ones! Marina also insisted that we sample some of their cannoli before we left. They were delicious! We are lucky to have some excellent Italian bakeries in the Greater New Haven area, and Milani's is no exception!

The shop is super inviting and nicely set up. All of the scoopers are beyond friendly and sweet, and terrific at what they do. I think sundae construction is an extremely underrated thing that I, admittedly, can be a bit of snob about. They are all masters. Nearly all toppings and elements are homemade, as well as all of their own creamy, while not excessively heavy, ice cream flavors! Even the dairy free options are excellent, and I couldn't even detect a difference. I have been 3 times recently, and most recently had one of the best ice cream experiences of my entire life (if not the best, and all 3 times have been among the top actually). I had a scoop of "Pride" (cake batter with funfetti cake chunks) & a scoop of dairy free blueberry lemon poppyseed in a waffle cone. The extra large homemade cone was crisp and perfection. The Pride flavor was a rare instance of cake batter ice cream not tasting artificial, having an aftertaste, or being overly sweet. The cake chunks were massive. The blueberry lemon poppyseed was utter brilliance. A bright base with all the flavor of the finest lemon poppyseed muffin you could imagine with thick ribbons blueberry , I'll call it a compote (pure fresh saucy blueberry). The other 2 stops I made I ordered sundaes. The first was their May mocha sundae including chocolate cake sandwiched between 2 scoops of espresso chip ice cream with mocha sauce, a biscotti, whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. The second was their classic sundae with brownie between 2 scoops of your choice (tiramisu & blueberry), walnuts, hot fudge, whipped cream and a cherry. Both were phenomenal and I love the presentation. The assembly, ratio of toppings and honestly every aspect of the sundae is perfect. I go at off times so I love sitting on one of the 2 benches out front. So relaxing. They also sell pints to go. I can't say enough good things. Honeycone is a true gem, as good as an ice cream shop gets. Definitely check them out and support this incredible place!!

They offer a variety of seasonal flavors, and they've just swapped to their winter ones! I got a cup with gingerbread ice cream and chocolate orange ice cream. There were a bunch of other flavors though, like a peppermint one and eggnog! Since there's a good number of seasonal flavors, it was hard to figure out which one to try! While they unfortunately don't offer samples, they do offer an ice cream flight with 6 small scoops for $13.50. Tempting, but I unfortunately didn't need 6 scoops so I went with just the two! A cute option nonetheless. They do let you mix and match flavors of the scoops you get, so I got to try two. The flavors were phenomenal, I was so happy to get try them. What a pleasant little surprise in the middle of a cute shopping area!! I certainly recommend it here.
