Took a trip down to Noack's on a Saturday morning, easy to find, right off 91. I've been meaning to…read morecheck this place out for a long time and I was excited to finally get to. Smaller place, cool little German meat market. I was greeted by a very nice young lady who wanted to help me out immediately as I walked in the door. I make the majority of my own Wurst so I'm rather familiar with all their sausages. Still they had many I never heard of or eaten. One of my favorite items was Leberkäse a German sausage loaf in the shape of our meatloaf. Absolutely fantastic! I also picked up course and fine Liverwurst, Weißwurst, Knockwurst, German Bologna and a Keilbasa luncheon meat.......all delicious! If you're looking for German meats that you won't find ANYWHERE else check out Noack's, you won't be disappointed. I know I'll be a regular customer from now on!

4.50 stars. As the name states, Avon Prime Meats is a purveyor of USDA prime and a few other…read moreselections, but you cannot go wrong with any of the prime cuts (and frankly, based on what I have seen at this point, the other cuts are just fine as well). So far, I've had prime NY Strips, ribeyes, picanha (top sirloin cap) and Porterhouse steaks here and all were absolutely divine. They even may have a few cuts that don't make it on the shelf but you can ask for them and they might make your day even better. This store has quite a bit more than an impressive array of butcher cuts. You'll find all sorts of meat and seafood swimming in a number of different marinades. They have deli meats, and you'll probably prefer them here to anywhere else in Avon (and really anywhere in Hartford and its surrounding cities). Are you looking for some fancy tri-colored pasta? They got that. Natalie's Juice? It's here. Elk and venison? Maybe some other exotic cuts? They got quite a few in here. They even have a decent beer selection. And I haven't even started talking about all of their prepared food which is far better than what you'll find in most high end grocery stores. In any event, along with the Fresh Market chain's Avon location, you can pretty much source all of your non-basic wants and needs at these two shops.

I know it's Avon, but prices here are outrageous. I was looking at the ground venison & elk,…read moreneither one had prices listed (on the product itself or anywhere around the fridge). So the counter person took them back up to the register to check the prices, they were in the $23 & $24 range for 14 ounces. That's double the price I pay for ground venison and ground elk at the Litchfield Locker, the prices there are $11.99/lb (venison) & 10.99/lb (elk) respectively. So, needless to say, I just wasn't interested in being fleeced, no thanks. I won't be returning.

We came Easter week and there was a line outside, and even a bigger line inside but well worth the wait. What I like, is they only had one kind of kielbasa (Easter Kielbasa) nothing confusing. They also sell pierogies, pickles, red cabbage, mustard, horseradish, babka etc. We brought Easter Kielbasa, and three small babka's. Pineapple cheese, cherry cheese, and apple. Since I could not wait to try their kielbasa I also order a plain Kielbasa sandwich. You can add sauerkraut, and Polish mustard, if you like. The sandwich was packed with meat and only $8.00. I have been to several Polish specialty stores, and tried all kinds of kielbasa. This by far was the best I ever had.

The cornbread side was delicious and the Mac in cheese was a HUGE hit probably our fave side of the 4 we tried. The coleslaw and potato salad were also good.

I'm not in the habit of driving within 25 yards of Neil's Donuts when I know they're closed. But…read moreif I do, it's because I was craving lumpia or other Filipino food from Kayumangi Authentic Filipino ("KAF"). KAF is a small Filipino Market, that serves a number of prepared Filipino foods cafeteria style, and they also have a kitchen for preparing some additional menu items. I hadn't visited since before the Pandemic, but I felt KAF's lumpia calling me this week. I arrived around 5:30 and I was the only customer at that time. The cafe part of the business is in the back. There are a few tables for dining in. The atmosphere is decent, but not a selling point since the Market's merchandise is in view. Service is a hybrid model. I've always ordered at the cash register. For food that's ready, they just plate it and bring it to you. If you order from the menu, they prepare it and bring it to you. However, it's not the type of place where they bring you a glass of water and occasionally refill it. It's more like you're eating at Chipotle, except they bring your food to you. I ordered lumpia and Menudo. If you haven't had lumpia, they look similar to fried spring rolls. KAF's are filled with what seems like a cooked pork and veggie mixture that is mostly meat. It's crispy and tasty. KAF's Menudo is a stew of pork chunks, liver, potatoes, carrots, peas, etc. It tastes like a dish you might get at a Filipino friend's house. The meat and veggies were tender and the sauce was mild and savory. When I score a place like Kayumangi, I don't compare it to sit down restaurants. I compare it to other small food markets that happen to serve food. Another thing in Kayumangi's favor is that I'm not aware of other Filipino options in the nearby areas. With those caveats, I give Kayumangi 4 Stars and I will return when the mood strikes me.
