New Haven Trailside Treats is a frozen yogurt shop located in Connellsville, PA. My brother and I went in on a Thursday evening and it was pretty dead however people did stop in later. I recommend the Cake Batter yogurt with Caramel sauce and your choice of toppings. How much is it? Well Yogurt cups are pay by weight so be careful, I ended up paying $11 for my cup but it was the best 11 dollars I have spent in a long time! They also have pint's of Frozen Yogurt you can purchase and take home.. There are also Ice Cream Yogurt sandwiches available. Need a souvenir? They even sell t-shirts with their name on it. The decor is quite fun and colourful. It has brought another element of fun into the Connellsville area. The Cashier was super friendly and really knowledgeable when it came to the finer points of Frozen Yogurt. Worried about price? Keep an eye on their Facebook page because they often have sales on Thursdays and Fridays! However I had missed the sale that day. The sales are well worth it! I hope New Haven Trailside Treats keeps up the great work and has a very long stay in Connellsville.

When I say this place is unique you just have to visit. It's packed to the walls with inventory. I think they have more fishing gear than two Cabellas or Bass Pro shops combined. For sure the most selection of diverse fishing lures and equipment I have ever seen. My daughter suggested it when I said I wanted ice cream. It took me awhile just to decide to get our ice cream because I was busy looking at everything they to offer. There is so much inventory that you can't get down some isles without moving things out of the way. Now the Ice cream. They have probably fifty flavors. Okay maybe not quite that many but if you can't find what you want you don't want ice cream. Just go home. Lol. I wanted the grasshopper mint with chocolate but it must be so popular because they was out. So I settled for a double scoop of raspberry chocolate chunk and my daughter got a single scoop of play dough. Ice cream that is. Lol. And we got the pups a cup of vanilla. I mean what furry friend doesn't like a pup cup. It was really really good. I forgot to get a pic of my cone as my hands were kinda full. Did I mention you can order food to eat? Yep. They offer a menu of food. Great place and friendly staff. A must visit.

Overlooking a gorgeous view, the location couldn't be better with plenty of parking and seating out front to sit back and enjoy your favorite treats. The menu is expansive with sooo many options that you probably need to just go back over and over again to try them all. Unfortunately, when we went they were not serving their savory menu, but I still opted to grab a sweet treat. The lines seem to be clearly marked with "Order Here" and "Pick Up Here" but even with a building full of employees, I waited behind another family who inadvertently stayed in the order line. The staff should pay attention to guests arriving and ensure to grab orders as they come - i think they are all new employees for the summer season. I picked the Cinnamon Churro Waffle Stix this time. The employee kindly asked if I was okay to wait, as they take some time to make - no problem there, I will always enjoy a fresh made treat! The waffle stix were slightly burnt but the charred flavor didn't bother me. They were coated in a copious amount of caramel, cinnamon sugar, and ice cream! I would gladly stop by again and try another treat! Fingers crossed that they have the savory menu or update their social media to let customers know!

The store itself has some basics, but not as much as what you would find at a GetGo, WaWa, or Sheetz. What the store does have is a huge dairy section with their own name on the products. Two huge freezers with what looked like half quarts of ice cream of every flavor you can imagine. And about three other dairy cases. Didn't explore much the other dairy cases. The customer service was exceptional, small town, makes me wish they knew my name because I was a regular-type of a feel, but I was just passing through. On a whim I decided to get a scoop of ice cream. Trying to be modest I asked for the smallest scoop they had and even then the scoop was huge. Thank you, BTW. I had no idea that I would want to eat every bit of that "small" ice cream scoop, and then as I'm driving away try to create schemes in my mind for how I can come back another time to get more. The only plan I could come up with is a cooler with dry ice, as I live a state away, but even that could get pricey. The ice cream itself was toothsome, almost buttery and very sweet, as expected. The flavor and the ice crystal consistency reminded me of the ice cream my family used to make in those wooden electric churn type of machines but oh-so-much better. Thanks so much for the hospitality, the treat, and the flashback of memories the ice cream triggered. Can't wait to create an excuse to come back!

I suspect xanthum gum and a dollop of flavoring, as this ice cream's raspberrosity exploded on the tongue in a firework of comestible delight. Whatever wizardry used by the ice cream company that they sell here, come here and try it - you won't be disappointed. It makes Brewster's, Baskin Robbins, and Cold Stone Creamery look like amateurs.

However, since I was touring a few Frank Lloyd Wright houses, I had not eaten since my early morning continental breakfast at the Comfort Inn in Connellsville. Mindlessly following the Google Maps directions, I arrived in a town called Indian Head and didn't have any expectations about what I'd find in this family-friendly roadside diner. Without hesitation, I ordered the $13.99 Grilled Chicken Salad. I was quite impressed with what arrived. There were huge pieces of grilled chicken breast, tender and moist, with cucumber, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, onions, beets, shredded cheddar, and a pickled egg with ranch dressing on the side (Photo 9). Sounds basic, I know, but it was hearty, fresh, and genuinely satisfying. Midway through my salad, a plate of fries arrived (Photo 10). I wasn't expecting it, but the server apologized for the delay. I only noticed later that the fries were mentioned in the menu. I certainly didn't mind because they were hot, tasty, and not at all greasy. Even though I was getting full and kinda anxious to get going, I was rather hypnotized by the refrigerator of freshly made pies. I just couldn't help myself and ordered a $4.29 slice of Banana Meringue Pie (Photo 8). I don't think I've had homemade pie that good since gorging at Valois back in my olden grad school days in the South Side of Chicago.

It was the best of both worlds. If I had one complaint, I'd say the sauerkraut was a bit too sweet for my liking. But it was still good. For the main course, we shared a fish sandwich.

I got a harvest turkey cranberry sandwich, a falling leaves latte, and a honey lavender latte while I was there. The sandwich was very large and I had a hard time finishing it. The lattes were sweet and refreshing. The sandwich cost $15, and each of the lattes cost $5.50. They do have allergy information for the sandwiches, but not for the bakery items, which was unfortunate, since their raspberry donut cheesecake looked decadent.
