What happened after Food Paradise?

'Extreme Eats' featured Cream & Sugar Cafe, a Bethel, Connecticut dessert cafe owned by Alyce Kallman that became known for its oversized milkshake creations, or 'freakshakes.' The cafe operated from Pt. Barnum Square in downtown Bethel. According to Yelp, a listing updated 2026-08 marks Cream & Sugar Cafe permanently closed. Foursquare's listing for the business is also tagged 'Now Closed.' The address is unrelated to Dr. Mike's Ice Cream, a separate, longer-running Bethel ice cream shop on Greenwood Avenue that a Google Places search mistakenly returned in its place. Cream & Sugar Cafe's own address is confirmed as 7 Pt. Barnum Square, verified independently via a Census geocode; Dr. Mike's, for comparison, sits at 158 Greenwood Avenue.
