    You go to Munson's if you want classic chocolates done well at a good price and you like to support CT places. You can buy boxes or pick exactly what you want. The chocolates are of course delicious. It's been an area go to if I need something like teacher or co-worker appreciation gifts. Service is always friendly, but if you choose your own chocolates, service can be clunky. The primary reason seems to be that there are many different per pound prices for seemingly similar chocolate. Therefore, there is a lot of weighing and note taking that leads to a bunch of stops and starts. This adds up if you're at the back of a long line. That's why I try to go at off times. Four Stars.

    If you grew up in Connecticut, you probably get really happy when you hear the last name Munson's. They have been hand crafting chocolates in Connecticut for 77 years since 1946 and 3 generations now! I recently went to the Newington location to learn more about all of the types of chocolate they make and it's so impressive. Turtles, Buttercream, Butter crunch, their truffles---all so good! As Valentine's Day approaches...their timeless 1 lb Valentine Heart Box (milk and dark chocolate) is one of their top sellers. Gourmet Truffles, Triple Chocolate Layered Truffles and their NEW piece this Valentine's Day- super exciting-- The Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Heart- mixed with raspberries, covered in dark chocolate and decorated with a pink chocolate on top. *Sold only at their stores. There are 100 different chocolate confections for customers who want to hand pick their chocolates themselves too. We all have our favorites! What's yours? Drop me a compliment with yours :)

    Super friendly staff and great selection of chocolates. They are delicious too and reasonably priced. They have seasonal 3D figure chocolates such as a turkey which I get a kicked out of. They also do free gift wrapping!

    My all time favorite chocolate shop. I hint to my family and husband whenever a "chocolate-focused" holiday comes around to make sure to grab it from Munson's. hehe. Nothing compares. And with this hot chocolate bomb craze, Munson's has done it better! I dare you to find a better chocolate shop!

    I love Munson's! It's been my favorite chocolate since I was a kid, although I admit I try to refrain since I have little self control, and it is rather expensive truth be told. Well, now I shop here for chocolates for my son for special occasions, as he's also a huge fan. The only time I sensed any sort of attitude here was when I was taking photos, as I was asked if I could be helped, and when I said no she asked why I was taking pictures because pictures are not allowed. I respectfully put my phone away and explained that I'm very into Yelp so they were for Yelp, then everyone was super friendly! I sampled a couple coconut chocolate options, bought some stuff my son picked out (he LOVES the seasonal chocolate mint layered truffles), some of the tasty coconut chocolates in milk and dark, and a bag of Beer Brittle, made in partnership with Hooker Brewery (which I love, supporting local CT businesses, especially ones that support and work with one another!)! Also, one time I was at Onyx Distillery in E. Hartford, they had an AMAZING Munson's box of 6 chocolates for $10 that were made to pair with the tasting. Phenomenal! I'll continue to support Munson's and local businesses!

    Arguably the best ice cream I've ever had in my life. Very dense and creamy due to it's high…read morebutterfat content. Per the Hartford Courant, Mortensens uses only natural ingredients. 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!

    First experience at Mortensen and it delivered. Only downside and get this out of the way…read morequickly.....CASH ONLY. Their selection of flavors of ice cream start with the basics of course vanilla, and chocolate. But then as you keep looking it gets more and more creative I went with Peanut Butter Cup but could have just as easily went with Watermelon sorbet. Prices are reasonable, especially if you get the 5 scoop explosion which I considered. Seating is very very limited inside the area and most people are snaked in line but well worth it. Its a fun place inside with workers who make you want to look at the flavors and definitely does.not rush anyone.

    We both went for 6 scoops in the sampler, at only $10.20 each in June 2026!

    "I don't need no fields of whiskey Don't indulge in beer or…read morewine But baby, you turn me on And blow my ever-lovin' mind" (Chuck Berry) Adorable isn't a word I often use to describe food, but I have to tell ya, these fun-sized (just two inches in diameter) donuts from Indulge By Palazzo are adorable. And that adorableness comes in twenty flavor varieties - peanut butters, candies, fruits, cookies, and of course...chocolates. They cost between $1 and $1.20 each depending on the quantity you want. I bought a box of fifteen for $15. I had some time to kill before my appointment in Rocky Hill, so I also ordered a small coffee, lemon, and almond donut to enjoy on site. Now that's easier said than done because the store is small and only has a counter with two stools. Luckily, both were vacant so I settled in, drank their excellent freshly made coffee (small for $3.50) and savored my little donut treats. Indulge By Palazzo also specializes in coffees and protein shakes to help you wash down those donuts, and it looks like they are set up to sell ice cream in season. If you are a donut hound, and appreciate adorableness, indulge yourself with a visit to Palazzo and walk out with a box of their petite sweet treats.

    Decent little donut bites…read more Came here on a whim. Inside is a relatively small shop with a little display and lots of advertising for their catering business. We ordered a 8 pack of mini donuts and 2 protein doughnuts. The mini doughnuts came in a myriad of flavor combos. Those flavors were pronounced, the base is a cake doughnut so it's spongy but light. It's a good cake doughnut, but I'm not really a fan of cake style doughnuts. For me, cake doughnuts need to be right out the oven to be good. These were made recently, but cooled significantly and not to my preference. The protein doughnuts were dipped fresh. They were not much different in terms of consistency but it's a much denser doughnut and a bit of chew because of the protein powder. It also has the aftertaste of sunflower shells that health products tend to have. Not unpleasant, but makes it taste like standard "healthy" products It's not bad, but it's also not great. For the price is right for the quality, and it's one of the few dessert options for the area. It's worth a try if you're around or if you really like cake doughnuts, but I wouldn't trek there.

    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.
