    Flat soda

    Like many independent soda companies, Empire Bottling Works appears to have no idea what carbonation is.

    10\19\2013, knocking Uncle Sam over and breaking the flag post. The driver couldn't even pick the flag up and leave an apology!

    I simply love this place. They use real cane sugar as their sweetener which puts them a cut above almost everybody else.

    Really expensive... like insanely so. I got a 3 pack of "organic" lemons that came in a mesh…read moresleeve- it was $6 for the 3 (anywhere else, lemons are less than a dollar rather than 2 dollars each!) When I got home and took them out of the packaging they had brown spots and two had brown spots inside as well. If these lemons had been significantly better than regular lemons perhaps the price difference would be justified, but for them to be mildly worse and more than twice the price struck me as bizarre! I also bought a frozen meal that was already expired... I was able to return these two items and the customer service was good, but I couldn't believe how high my bill was for only getting 5-6 things.

    I was sad to see Seabra leave this space - Clements' is a different type of grocery store in my…read moreopinion, so it's an interesting replacement. This is convenient for people of Bristol to have an option besides Stop & Shop and without having to travel to Fall River/Swansea/Target to a big box or other grocery store. Their parking lot is easy to access with lots of space. This store is very clean and feels high end - I would consider this more of a luxury market, almost as if you had a combo of Whole Foods and Highland Park Market (a small local chain in Connecticut). There were a nice amount of unique local offerings I hadn't even heard of before - salt water taffy, chocolates, bulk frozen soups from Blount, etc. There are fresh options like a sushi bar and a small coffee area in the front. The big selling point of this store are those unique offerings, and the best bang for your buck are things they make fresh, breads, desserts, etc. I LOVE their fresh popped flavored popcorn and always have to grab some - just do it!!! Other than those standout features, I can't see myself shopping here regularly if not for those specific items, unless I really didn't want to travel far. It's a smaller store with less selection. Pricing is well above other similar stores - the mark up on a pantry item I picked up was double the price of the exact same thing at Target. Even their "sale" prices don't seem that good of a deal in most cases. They advertise a senior discount on Wednesdays. Self check out and cashiers are set up, but only self check out was open at 8 pm. There's a nice upscale feel here, although staff wasn't helpful in the evening hours when I went, which you would expect more of from this type of experience based store. For basics and pantry staples, you'll find a better deal elsewhere....but honestly, it's still worth a trip just for the popcorn.

    My girlfriend has celiac, so eating out sometimes can be challenging. She had told me she tried…read moreBasil and Bunny and said it was good to which I rolled my eyes. One day we were undecided where to go... the typical "where do you want to go? " "I dunno, where do you wanna go?" infinite loop. We were driving on Wood street and she asked me if I wanted to try B&B. My gut instinct told me NO, IT'S VEGETARIAN FOOD. VEGETARIAN FOOD IS THE DEVIL!, but somehow I mustered up the strength to deny these thoughts and agreed to try it. I love a good restaurant that waits on you, so the idea of walking to a counter to get my food didn't make me excited. I looked over the menu and saw they had faux chicken sandwiches. They use seitan which I always wanted to try since it's insanely high in protein. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken. They also sell beer too which was cool. I got a Clownshoes IPA that I sipped until they brought the food to the table. The portion size of the sandwich is monstrous! I could tell by the sauce drizzle that I was in for something special. The colors from the cabbage slaw in the sandwich provided a solid presentation. As I bit into the sandwich, it had the chew of tender fried chicken and the seitan had some wicked flavor. I'm salivating just talking about it. The sauce had a nice sweet tangy heat which really set it off nice. We ordered fries which were nicely salted and served up with a little cup of aioli. Very good. Honestly, I never thought vegetarian food could taste this good and hopefully I don't regret posting this review and the place blows up and have to wait in line for hours next time. Lol! Thanks Basil and Bunny!

    OMG!! Most plant based places i have visited don't quite get it right or are a bit light on the…read moreflavor, options or combination. Well Basil & Bunny is an amazing suprise for lunch today as they hit the mark!!! Shared parking lot with ample parking. There is both inside and outside seating options here. From bar seating, to tables for two or four (can pull some together for larger party) plenty of arrangements for your party size. Inside has light music that does not interfere with conversation and even when packed still a quiet feel. Staff is very friendly and passionate about their plant based creations. Rotating monthly special dishes/bowls to enjoy. Plenty of sweet treat options to give a try as well. I grab a sunshine bowl with impossible crumble (seasoned tofu also an option) and came with plenty of flavor with its mix of seasoned veggies, brown rice, tortilla and lime herb dressing. I wanted to lick my plate clean!!! So if you are in Bristol and looking for a little bit of plant based greatness...Basil & Bunny has you covered!
