This morning I drove to Liquid Nirvana of Avon. When I arrived I realized this is where one of my…read morevery first Yelp events was, around four years ago. It was 100 degrees out today, what's better then a refreshing açaí bowl? The menu at Liquid Nirvana is extensive, and everywhere you turn there are additional menu items. In addition to açaí bowls, there are juices, smoothies, salads and wraps available. I got the Tropical Paradise Açaí Bowl. The base is made of açaí, almond milk, pineapple, mango, banana and blueberries. It was topped with granola, pineapple, banana, coconut and honey. This was so fresh! I could hear the blender running as the girl, blended everything for me. There's no freezer burn here. It was cold, fresh, and so delicious! I also think $11.00 is a great value. I once paid $17 for an açaí bowl on my travels somewhere, the portion was tiny and it was far from fresh. Liquid Nirvana offers delicious, fresh, high quality products from a large assortment of organic fruits and vegetables.

The menu was overwhelming (in a good way), there were so many options, I wanted to try them all! I had the Coconut Nirvana and a grilled cheese.

I am a huge fan of the kale chips, which are full of flavor and free of the usual twigs and stems of other brands My mom also appreciates a good kale chip so I wanted to share these with her and ordered several bags online to send to her (outside the tri-state area). The package ended up coming to me by accident. Wynter graciously and immediately went to work to not only correct the order but to add a sampler of other Raw Food Central treats as an extra thank you. (My mom is now a fan as well and my dad LOVES the super crunchy and tasty onion rings.) Thank you so much for your fabulous products and really rare, really caring customer service.

I wanted something in the line w coconut and bananas. none of their smoothies contain added sweeteners which is a plus. The one I chose was the almond joy with almond milk base w creamy banana, peanut butter, chocolate chips, almonds I, coconut, honey and so yummy tasting. The ambiance and extensive menu make this spot a must-visit again and try a few more favorites. The prices are very reasonable and learned they also have a Glastonbury location and Avon that have been around awhile. So glad I had the chance to check out @liquidnirvana. Thanks, @YelpConnecticut!

The visits started out pretty good as we were a group of 12 coming into their establishment to start their day and we were their first clients. To walk in we expressed that we understood that only one person was working and that the timing may be a little bit slower due to the fact that she was the only one there. We put our orders in and slowly started seeing other clients of theirs come in the door and place orders. We could tell that some may have been online but let's remember that we walked in as they were opening. We waited an hour and 35 minutes to get paninis and smoothies and started noticing the people that had come in behind us and online orders were getting their food before us. We went to the front counter to ask, "Why are people getting their orders before us?" and we expressed that it was because they placed their orders online and that online orders had their own process. We were unable to accept this as we were their first clients of the day. We waited an hour and a half and people behind us and all non-orders were receiving their food before us. This was not just about the customer service and speed at which we received our order. We ordered a banana and peanut butter panini and two apple and cheese paninis, of which the bread was dry. There were barely any ingredients on the sandwich and it just did not taste good at all. This may be my first time saying I do not recommend a restaurant but this time I must say it. I can say the establishment was clean. It's an open kitchen where you can see the restaurant. They had games for kids to play and the ingredients seem to be fresh. I just spoke with the owner and got a better understanding of what happened. While I won't adjust what was said I will say the due to the fresh ingredients, situational challenges and promptness of reply of the owner, I will adjust my review as to not hurt this local small business. The owner was courteous, understanding and apologetic. She gave a detailed answer as to what happened and how they plan to improve.

Venus nutrition is family run and I had the pleasure of meeting of one of the owners. When I went in today she was very helpful and helping me choose the shake that I wanted along with an energy tea because I hadn't had coffee yet either. They have a variety of standard shakes and also seasonal flavors. I went with the chocolate, covered strawberry, a standard favorite of mine, as well as the scoop of peanut butter powder as well. They have small, medium and large sizes with calorie counts between 200 and 500 cal depending on what size you order. It's a great way to get a nutrition shake when you're on the run and you don't have time to grab something more substantial. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other flavors. They also have a loyalty card which I grabbed because I live right down the road and I know I'll be back for more.

My husband loves Smoothie King and he always orders the same thing, Island Impact. He loves…read moreSmoothie King because he likes that it's blended well, smooth with no fruit or icy chunks. He is a tough critic when we go to other smoothie places. I don't usually opt into getting a smoothie myself because of my strawberry allergy. Most of their smoothies have strawberry in them. This location in Newington, went above and beyond. The staff were able to swap out the strawberries for another fruit! They were so kind and helpful. I got the Pineapple Surf, replacing the strawberries for raspberries! I don't know if all Smoothie King locations would make this accommodation and if you are highly allergic to something, take precaution for chances or cross contamination. It was just nice to enjoy a smoothie! We return to this location often because we are always in the area. Last time, I learned they had a special menu that the shop put together. The smoothies were dessert themed and I got Blueberry Cobbler--which didn't have any strawberry. This Smoothie King's service is always fast, never too busy even in summer, the shop is cool, and very clean. Without a doubt, we will be back soon since we are always in the area. It's been a must this summer.
