    It was my first time getting ice cream from Capital Ice Cream, and I've been kicking myself for not…read moretrying it sooner. First of all, this place is so cute! They are small, but downstairs they have super cute and colorful seating arrangement. The inside is filled with chalk walls of all of their delicious offerings. I got the Mocha Cappuccino flavor. This blew my mind with how accurate this was to its name, and how insanely tasty it was! If you enjoy coffee, there's no way this flavor would disappoint you! This flavor is vanilla based, with the tastiest layer of mocha, then the syrup on top made it so much more coffee. This isn't overpowering coffee at all. It is such a balanced and delicious flavor. Don't sleep on Capital Ice Cream, try their ice cream, you'll be dreaming about the next spoonful!

    Service was quick and friendly. Ice cream was delicious- I got a scoop of grape nut and…read morepistachio. Serving size was small but very tasty and fresh. Could not give 5 stars due to 1 downside - as I was waiting for my order, a couple entered the shop with their dog (young pitbull). Not everyone likes strange dogs and certainly not inside a cafe....i literally had to ask them to hold the dog out of the away so i could exit the small shop. Dogs or any non-service animal should be outside...especially for comfort of all, especially in a tight space, and definitely for liability reasons. Please and thank you.

    "Well, I did not think the girl could be so cruel And I'm…read morenever going back to my old school" (Steely Dan) Old School and classic- that's the vibe Emrey's does so well. They are a "vintage-chic soda bar" with definite nostalgic vibes from the 1950's, or even earlier. Want an old-fashioned ice cream soda, milkshake, soda floats, ice cream sundae, banana split, or maybe a boozy ice cream or coffee drink? Well, belly up to their long soda counter, hop on a bar stool, and let your inner Fonzie go wild. You'll love their pastel pink, black and white color scheme, and you'll sure love their charm and hospitality. You won't see a zillion ice cream flavors on the menu, just the most basic varieties beyond vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. We ordered two Malt Frappes ($11 each), one Classic Vanilla and one Pistachio. They both came with whipped cream and a cherry, and my Pistachio was garnished with pistachio pieces in the frappe and atop the whipped cream. They were excellent, cold, thick, refreshing, frozen comfort food at its best and oh so nostalgic. Reminded me of the shakes we used to get t Howard Johnson's a lifetime ago. And the portions were pretty big, our server Gwen poured whatever wouldn't fit into our glasses into a plastic cup for us. Definitely worth a stop on your next visit to downtown Hartford.

Not to mention they have a speakeasy in the back behind the Photobooth ( yes a photobooth !!)

"Oooh, it looks cool in here...smells yummy, too!" "These flavors! Okay, maybe I'll get something...but what?!" "Bourbon breakfast, please!" I had to end the quotes here because I'm sure some unholy sounds came out as I ate some of the best ice cream I've ever had. I say some of the best because I tried all of my family members' flavors and they were all winners. Also, we live in Connecticut, where there is a lot of great ice cream. Anyway, go to Milkcraft. Long lines? Probably. Expensive? Kind of, but you very much get what you pay for...a transcendent ice cream experience with flavors you won't find elsewhere.

There were a handful of seats. We went on a weekend so there was a short line. There was a couple in front of us taking forever to sample all the ice cream, which I won't fault the workers for the long wait. I decided to get a bubble cone Vietnamnese ice cream. It was good but the bubble cone was too much for me. It would have been better in a cup or small cone. I like the artwork on the walls and it's in a good location. Overall, a decent spot to get ice cream.

There is no fee to enter. The owners renovated a 1976 ice cream truck and brings it to events like weddings, corporate events, Anniversaries, etc. They have a fleet of vehicles that serves ice cream; some of these can be rented for events too, for example, a party trailer. They offer cups, cones, and ice cream sandwiches called Chillwiches. I had the Cookie Monstah Chillwich; this was huge! Vanilla ice cream with cookie dough, chocolate drizzle, in between two large chocolate chunk cookies. It was amazing and I couldn't finish it because it was so large. They have a variety of flavors to choose from. Overall, a very delicious ice cream and I highly recommend.

Blue Chip makes probably the best ice cream sandwiches that I've ever had. Most recently, with my latest visit, I got the Cookie Monstah. I'm not kidding when I say that the cookie itself used on either end to make the sandwiches are AWESOME, and the ice cream itself is also very good. At this location, they carry all the popular flavors in to-go plastic containers. You can also get a cup or cone of their ice cream instead (like my daughter did), but to me, their uniqueness comes from those sandwiches. I'd highly recommend incorporating this ice cream stop into your visit to the Connecticut Science Center. Pick this over a grinder/sub next store.

    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.
