When we launched the creamery at Bloomfield BreakPoint, we expected a few things: People asking, “Wait… this is inside a gas station?” A solid crowd of ice cream lovers rolling in from around Bloomfield The occasional person who just needed a Gatorade and left with two scoops of cookie dough instead What we didn’t expect… was him. The Day He Showed Up We don’t know his name. We don’t know where he came from. All we know is: the day the creamery opened, he opened the door. Sunglasses on. No words. Just an intense focus on the ice cream case like he’d been chasing it across Connecticut for miles. He pointed at a flavor (Cotton Candy, if you’re curious), nodded once, and took a seat like he’d been coming here for years. No introduction. No drama. Just a hot dog in shades… vibing. And he’s been here ever since. Who Is Hot Dog Guy? We call him Hot Dog Guy —not because of what he eats (though he’s been very interested in the hot dog equipment lately)—but because, well… he is one. A literal hot dog. With legs. With sunglasses. And possibly a master plan. He hangs by the creamery, samples new flavors, lurks around the café buildout, and gives approving nods when the espresso smells right. He’s probably seen every flavor rotation before we even announce it. He’s lowkey the reason we double-check the scoop sizes. And we kind of love that about him. Why We're Writing This This is the first post on the official BreakPoint Blog , and it felt right to dedicate it to the most loyal (and mysterious) figure at Bloomfield BreakPoint. This blog is going to be home to all kinds of things: Flavor updates Specials and promos Construction progress (yes, the café is coming 👀) Community shoutouts Maybe even an occasional guest post from Hot Dog Guy (if we can get him to type) But more than that, this blog is about what makes this place different. BreakPoint isn’t just a convenience store. We’ve got big plans—from signature hot dogs and espresso drinks to merch, events, and surprises we’re not even ready to talk about yet. Hot Dog Guy felt it from the beginning. And now you’re here too.
