10.23.25 This donut shop is tucked in nowhere Torrington…read moreright off of route 8 & right across from Lowes. Great spot. These donuts are so good. I wish I was closer. They're always fresh and very good size. It looks like any typical donut shop that you've been to. Nothing really stands out except that really intense smell of FRESHNESS. So good in the air. Three service is also always great. They're so kind and genuine here. Always great hospitality and very nice people serving you. They have some deal that they sell you the donuts at a discounted rate after like 5 or 6 o'clock . Something like that. I was so surprised that they offer this. I still remember the first time here when they told me about that and I took advantage of it and bought more than I originally planned on getting. I think it's a great concept I've never encountered elsewhere and think more donut places should adopt their truly great concept. Makes sense instead of throwing donuts away at the end of the day. Almost forgot to mention their coffee. It's so good for just a donut shop. It has such rich full body taste. Such a great place to frequent. Love you people here :-)

Go back to your foreign language school days, and maybe you'll remember that it means "little bear" in Spanish. That's likely why there are cute little bears all over the walls of Ositos. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the two couples that own Ositos. Tanya and Juan Sanchez, and Xavier and Sandra Patino fondly remembered the little ice cream, shaved ice, and fruit shops in their native Ecuador and decided to take a chance on recreating that friendly neighborhood vibe in Torrington. You'll find their shot at the American Dream in a distinctive purple building on the busy corner of Main Street and North Elm. The store is across the street from Walgreen's Pharmacy in an old tailoring shop. There are two tables and some counter seats available. Their products include hot dogs, fruit plates, ice cream sundaes, smoothies, and shakes with plenty of toppings. Mango ice cream is a particular favorite of their customers. We sat inside and enjoyed two small cups of ice cream at around $4.50 each. My wife had a combination of Coffee Chip and Cookies and Cream, while I had a small cup of Orange-Pineapple with Chocolate sprinkles. The ice cream was excellent-smooth and creamy, non-granular, with great flavor and texture. The young lady that served us was super friendly and helpful and offered s plenty of flavor samples. Osito's does not have a website, but they do have a Facebook page.

I scream, you scream, we all Scream for ice cream!…read moreEspecially ice cream that tastes delicious! Ositos opened back in April. They serve ice cream and fresh fruit!! I stopped on a warm summer night and it was pretty busy. I always go for a waffle cone so I got two scoops, mango and mint chocolate chip in a waffle cone. It was really good! I saw they had a drink in a pineapple and that looked delicious too. I look forward to going back to try the fruit!!

They have surfboards hanging off the ceiling and the light blues are reminiscent of the water. They have a huge menu of açaí bowls, smoothies and juices. My friend got the Nutella Acai Bowl, I wanted the very similar Nutaya Pitaya Bowl. They must've misheard me, because we both got the same Acai bowls. This was ok with me, since they are pretty similar. The Nutella Acai Bowl features cold and refreshing acai, topped with granola, fresh strawberries, banana, coconut and plenty of melty Nutella. This was sweet and delicious, and a very generous portion. We enjoyed our bowls. We will be back to try more.

One person was waiting for their order, but otherwise there was no line to order. I waited a few minutes before any of the few workers in the kitchen came over to greet me. A friend was telling me he had a similar experience. Seems like there should be a better way. I just wanted a Black Iced Coffee and it was delivered not long after I ordered. It was made with Omar coffee, which for me is about as close to the Middle as you can find. My coffee was decent, but not one I would look forward to in the future. 3.25 Stars

They do offer a wide range of breakfast and lunch items, which includes monthly specials. I love matcha, so I knew I had to try their drink special for January.

In fact, the space doesn't look much different at all from the way it was laid out under Fosters. Rush Bowls sells two categories of food -$8 Smoothies and $10 Rush Bowls in dozens of variations and permutations. Let's start with their Smoothies. There are seventeen smoothies broken down into four basic categories of Acai, Signature, Rejuvenate, and Juice (Apple or OJ). They have different combinations of fruit (mango, blueberry, peach, banana, pineapple, strawberries, raspberries, dragon fruit, coconut, liquids (milks, juices),and an assortment of extras (granola, honey, kale, spinach, granola, acai, peanut butter, whey, frozen yogurt, chocolate sauce, avocado, espresso, and even lemonade). Their twenty juice based Bowls are similar, and you eat them with a spoon instead of a straw. My wife ordered the PB Crunch Smoothie with Banana, Peanut Butter, Granola, Milk and Froyo. I had a sip and loved its distinctive peanut flavor. I went with a Dragon Bowl of Dragon fruit, Banana, Strawberry, Blueberry, Coconut Milk, Apple Juice, chocolate sauce, and three toppers - Granola, Honey and Almonds. I liked it a lot, it had great flavor and plenty of crunch from the granola and almonds. We chatted with the two young ladies who were preparing our order and learned the store had only been open for a few weeks. Apparently, they are busiest lunch time when the locals come in for a quick to go order. My Bowl was pretty filling, so I definitely saw how it is becoming popular as a lunch option.

I placed an order online for the Nourish bowl, added kale to make it even greener and veggie filled, and eagerly waited to devour my bowl. Andddd devour I did. The Nourish Bowl was sooo good. Fille with brown rice, fermented beets, beet hummus, avocado, clover sprouts, shredded carrots, hemp seeds, and a cashew ginger dressing that came on the side. It was perfect, and very filling. As a fan of all things pickled, I especially loved the fermented beets and now will be hunting those down again and again. It was the perfect meal for after the holidays, and I do plan to make a stop at Nourish more routine when I am back in the area.

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.

There are a few differences between the two stores, New Morning Market offers some more healthy options, such as probiotic items like sauerkraut and yogurt drinks. I found the prices to be comparable to Whole Foods, and some of the Primal salad dressings & BBQ sauces happened to be on sale, so I saved a couple of bucks on each one I purchased. Also, I picked up a High Heat Olive oil "On Special" as soon I had walked through the front door, that was a great deal too. I also noticed they have a fairly decent stock of supplements too. Staff was very friendly and helpful, I will be back occasionally to pick up speciality items in my diet.

Of course mild is always a good go to , and the honey bbq. Allllll so very delicious!!!! Now that I know they are so close I am excited to try the other flavors.

First visit to the O Joe's North location - understanding I/we love the original. It exceeded every possible expectation. Food is terrific - has the same standard as Watertown, but our wings were cooked even better. Fresh, hot, crispy, juicy. Definitely the best Ordinary Joe's wings we've had (and we have a lot of them, often). The food options are clearly rooted in the original concept. However, there are some more/different options here. Everything looked and smelled fantastic. I look forward to investigating further. Our server, Vanessa, earned 25 stars on her own. She was attentive, personable, yet worked quickly and accurately - manning a full bar and dining room simultaneously - while making us feel like we were the only ones in the joint. Manager/(Owner?) Paul was terrific as well. Stepped in to ensure all tables had what they needed, were clean, and everyone happy. It was truly noticeable that customer service is a priority for the team. Building is new/redone/beautiful. Similar, iconic O Joe's feel and decorating - yes, the gridiron is painted on the ceiling. Just a great space. Great vibe. Eat-off-the-floor clean. Simply can't wait to go back. And, again, I am so lucky to have proximity to both locations. **Just one note for families who may go with children or teenage boys (like me)... The service is so great, no one at the table will have an empty glass for long... that's a really positive thing. But, fair warning, soft drink refills are NOT free (nor should they be, frankly). However, with an 18 and 16 yr old in my party...those Cokes accumulate quickly.
