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 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.

I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Rush Bowls through an Elite event. All I can say is WOW!…read moreThe service was helpful and attentive. I was a bit skeptical due to the fact that I don't eat dairy or banana. The bowl they made me was amazing - it had açaí, mango, granola, blueberry, and honey drizzled on top. The size was perfect! I tried so save some for later, but it was so good I couldn't stop eating it! While there, I purchased some rush bites - they are so filling but healthy too - makes a perfect breakfast on the go or snack. After my visit, I kept thinking about the delicious bowl I had - so I went back, bought another bowl, rush bites, and a gift card for a friend!

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.

Overall, this place was just fine. It's definitely a great place if you are vegan or vegetarian,…read moresince that's what they specialize in; however, even though the food quality is great and the taste is good, I cannot justify the prices. For 1 piece of toast and 1 smoothie, I spent almost $30, which I think is a bit steep. Again, the taste is good, but even for the price, they should have bigger portions. Inside is very cute, with a nice charm and pretty good table and bar seating. The staff was super nice and friendly as well. As far as what I ordered I got the strawberry cheesecakes smoothie which was find, mainly just tasted like a strawberry smoothie. I also got the cheesy scallion toast, which was good but just tasted like a piece of toast with a cream spread on it. I'd say give this place a try at least once, but I don't think I will be coming here regularly.

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.

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.

This may be one of the most positive food/people/local business experiences that I have ever had…read more I encourage you, truly, to enjoy this traditional neighborhood Italian deli - where they REALLY cook (and more importantly) and take pride in their work in addition to taking an interest in their customers. As I was leaving today from my first (and definitely not my last) lunch visit, I told the awesome staff "I hope to have reason to host a catered party so I can call you." *** The look and feel of this place screams of "home" to me. I'm from NJ and miss the true delis in every neighborhood. No offense to the Litchfield Hills, but I don't want books, artwork for sale, or jazz in my deli - and I sure don't want prefabricated sandwiches that are trying to inspire my esoteric side. Alfredo's just hits home. Home cooking. Very generous portion. Fantastic bread/rolls. Staff that made my experience great beyond expectation (they even gave me a sample of the day's special panini for my feedback... spoiler alert, it was terrific)! From what I tried today, everything was good. But the chicken cutlet is literally worth the drive from anywhere.
