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.

I'm pretty familiar Avon but Bela Vida is located away from all the other attractions, right next to a small fitness club. Bela Vida is such a beautiful space, there's positive words right outside the door. The beautiful plants all over the space made me want to stay. The natural materials made this place comfortable and relaxing. The menu of teas and protein shakes is the size of the whole wall. I decided to go with the Dirt Cake Lean & Fit Shake. I got mine in a medium size, which was a pretty generous size, and I realized I could have gone with a small. This was pretty chocolatey, but I could tell there was protein powder as the base. Well I knew what I was getting, so I wasn't so let down by the after taste. I will say this was my breakfast and lunch today. It was very filling and decently tasty. What I enjoyed a lot more than the shake it's self, is the space and the environment. It is a great space to be alone or with friends. I enjoyed reading parts of the book The Astrology of You and Me, they had on the little table. And the background music was a great counterpart. I plan to return here in the future and try something else.

I walked inside, there was no one else inside, but the employee and myself. This place specializes in smoothies, since they have a pretty large menu of a variety of different smoothies to choose from. There were about four açaí bowls on the menu. I decided to go with the Health Nut bowl. The space inside isn't huge, but there's a few places for sitting, bar stools or at the tables. They also have an artificial fireplace burning. My açaí bowl was ready pretty quickly. I had it in my car. The base was made of a refreshing and cool blend of açaí, strawberry, blueberry and banana. It had a nice berry color to it. It was topped with granola, almonds, peanut butter and goji berries. This was so delicious, and a very generous size. I couldn't finish it in one go. I didn't pick the best time to have this on a particularly cold day, holding the cold bowl wasn't very pleasant on my already cold hands. I was just wishing and imagining it was 80 degrees, and I'm cooling off with my tasty açaí bowl. While this was a great and healthy pick, I wish they offered a few more varieties of açaí bowls.

Rush Bowls have moved into the Farmington Valley into the space previously occupied by Fosters Ice…read moreCream on Hopmeadow Street. 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.

The minute we stepped in, we were greeted by Evan with a warm smile. He gave us some great feedback on flavors and what is popular, he also told us his favorite toppings and encouraged us to try some other ones as well. I decided to help myself to a little bit of each flavor and several toppings. Man what a treat this was. We may have to be in Avon next month, and we hope to visit this shop again. Thanks Evan for making this a great visit.

There were tables outside and inside. There were a wide array of flavors to choose from, they even had sugar free and non dairy options. You pick a cup which comes in a couple of sizes, then pick your frozen yogurt flavors; there were so many to choose from. After, this is where the fun begins, mix and match all the toppings you like; also so many to choose from. Once done, put your cup on the machine to weigh it, then pay and enjoy the treat. They also have ice cream, milkshakes, smoothies, and fruit bubble teas. Overall, a great place to get a fun treat.

I certainly haven't had one of their smoothies since then, nor have I stepped inside. Well last week I decided to see what's new on the menu. This Robeks' location is very tiny. It can only sit two patrons at a time. Their menu has a wide range of smoothies, juices, açaí bowls and avocado toast. I decided to go for the toast with peanut butter and banana. There were only two people working here, they weren't particularly friendly. They did make what I requested. The bread was a very generous slice of toasted Sourdough Bread. I certainly hope it came from The Hartford Baking Company, which is next door from this Robeks, but I don't think it did. There was an equally generous spreading of peanut butter, followed by sliced banana, honey and chia seeds. It arrived in a to go container. Which is wasteful, since I planned on sitting inside. This was pretty delicious! I love peanut butter with banana, it's sweet and nutty! This was $6.99. Their other options of toast also look pretty tasty! If you like juices, smoothies, and the similar, stop by Robeks and give them a try!

Located on Route 44 in Canton center. Formally The Whole Donut. The shop a well weathered donut haven with stools at the counter for a great coffee. The grille option I must still investigate.

On this 1st stop, a half dozen of their tantalizing fresh donuts was driving my tastebuds: Oreo cookie topped with vanilla drizzle, a cinnamon roll donut (!), couple of their soft sweet glazed, chocolate topped, and a Boston cream! No complaints, I'd suggest getting there earlier in the day offers a greater variety and quite possibly a warm tray straight from the craft room!

This location has fudge, boba tea, smoothies, and candies. This location is next to Barnes & Noble and across from Woofgang. It's in a great location with lots of foot traffic. The place was very cute and minimalistic. There were some benches and tables. On one wall, there were a bunch of candies like pop rock, push pop, gum, etc. Over at the counters, you can see the fudge and various chocolates like chocolate covered Oreos and more. They also have smoothies and boba tea. The employee was very nice. I purchased some candies on this visit. I was looking for some milk chocolate fudge for a Christmas gift, but they didn't have it, only dark chocolate. The other fudge looked pretty good; I will try that next time I visit. Overall, I'm glad to see a shop like this over at this shopping center.

Candy, fudge, boba, smoothies, and a super sweet woman who chatted with us and took our order. Located in the Shoppes at Farmington Valley in Canton (Across from Sur La Table), we happened to walk in on just their second day of business. The store looks as though it's been open for months. Everything is gorgeous to look at. There are bulk gummy candies and packaged candy boxes on the left wall, menu boards for the shakes, smoothies, bobas, bubble teas and fudge on the right wall. The center showcase has individual chocolates and fudge for you to order by the piece or by weight. We picked up two squares of fudge -an orange beauty that tasted like a Creamsicle, and a layered work of art with chocolate and nuts and toffee. Fudge is priced at $1.12/oz. They are a welcome addition to one of our favorite shopping centers and should do pretty well with their candies and fudge for the holidays. I imagine as the weather warms up in the spring, they'll do a great business with their shakes, smoothies, bobas, and bubble teas. Welcome to the Valley!
