So… Is Bloomfield BreakPoint Just a Gas Station?


No. While you can fill up your tank, most locals stop in for what’s inside:



It’s the kind of place where you pop in for one thing and leave with something better than you expected.

Why Bloomfield BreakPoint Feels Different


Bloomfield BreakPoint was built around one idea: make convenience better.


That means:


  • Clean, modern space
  • Quick service without sacrificing quality
  • Food and drinks you’d actually choose, not settle for



Instead of being “just another stop,” it’s become a go-to spot for locals who want something simple, fast, and reliable.

Products We’re Proud to Offer


Illy Coffee


Illy is known worldwide for its smooth, balanced flavor and uncompromising quality standards. Made from 100% Arabica beans and crafted with precision, Illy coffee delivers a café-level experience in every cup.

We chose Illy because good coffee shouldn’t be reserved for sit-down cafés — it should be accessible, consistent, and genuinely enjoyable, even when you’re on the go.


Praline’s Ice Cream


Praline’s Ice Cream is a local favorite for a reason. Their ice cream is rich, flavorful, and made with care — the kind of treat people go out of their way for.


By offering Praline’s, Bloomfield BreakPoint brings a true dessert destination into a convenient, easy stop — perfect for families, late-night cravings, or a quick reward after a long day.


Hummel Bros Hot Dogs


Hot Dogs made by Hummel Bros represents the best of local quality and craftsmanship. Partnering with trusted local brands allows Bloomfield BreakPoint to support the community while offering products that stand above typical convenience-store options.


These partnerships help keep our shelves unique, relevant, and rooted in Bloomfield.

A Message from the Owner, Imtiaz Bukhari


Owner, Imtiaz Bukhari, said, "My goal with Bloomfield BreakPoint was never to be just another gas station. I wanted to create a place where people could actually enjoy stopping — whether that’s grabbing quality coffee from Illy, picking up ice cream from Praline’s Ice Cream, or supporting local partners like Hummel Bros. Everything we offer is intentional and high-quality. It’s about giving the Bloomfield community better options without overcomplicating the experience."

A Local Spot for Bloomfield


Bloomfield BreakPoint isn’t trying to be flashy or overcomplicated. It’s here to serve the neighborhood with food and drinks people actually enjoy — without slowing them down. If you’re in Bloomfield and want a better version of a gas station experience, this is the place locals keep coming back to.

He Just Walked In: The Story of Hot Dog Guy (and Our First Blog Post)

June 8, 2025
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.
