“This is my second five star review of the month. If you know anything about my reviews, you know that I’m pretty strict with how I review my food choices. Was going by this place at 6:30 AM and greeted with a very kind and happy person.The manager or owner was super friendly with me, explained everything to me and even gave me a few toppings on the house because it was my first time. I got an açai bowl that knocked my socks off. It was full of great granola and seeds and peanut butter. I couldn’t have asked for a better breakfast. And top it all off. They had great strong coffee. I’m super happy with the experience I had at blend healthy spot. I will definitely highly recommend this to anyone that’s looking for a great healthy alternative for breakfast.“

“As a former military serviceman I walked in and immediately felt at home. This place pays tribute to servicemen and women like few others. The service was amazing, the gentleman behind the counter was one of the nicest I’ve come across. He was prompt and attentive and kept a smile on. I’m beyond impressed and would recommend to ANYONE that loves good BBQ at a fair price!“

“amazing and affordable for the amount you receive“

“What a magical experience! My group of 7 tucked away in a beautiful corner of the shop and enjoyed pot after pot of tea. The owners were so accommodating and advised us on different teas we might enjoy. It was a lovely atmosphere and there were so many eclectic trinkets, toys, soaps, candles, jam, jewelry, perfume… and more! Thank you for a lovely morning <3“

“Tried for the first time today ! I had the loco taco hot dog and it was delicious !“

“Great service and awesome food!“

“The best brewery around! I love going with my husband and dog to hang out. Helpful and friendly staff“

“Staff could not be more pleasant and polite. I love that it’s on the quiet side compared to a place like Starbucks. We come to Lions Den often even though it’s quite a distance from our residence. Coffee is great!“

“Love the ciders every time I come here. And dog friendly too! Def my favorite ciders!!“

“This review is a part of my quest of visiting all CT breweries. I met Counter Weight numerous times during beer festivals, but never understood their appeal to the public. It was until I visited the brewery.

First things first, the brewery occupies a big building and has an enormous space. The first floor is sectioned into 3 rooms, allowing for some privacy should you plan any events. There's also a patio, where the majority during our visit were the dog owners, and a 21+ game zone with some field games. They also have space on the second floor, but I did not go there. The brewery partnered with Ritual Pizza as their kitchen. We ordered a pizza and chicken tenders, and everything was delicious. The whole place was packed on Saturday evening.

Now, for the beers. This brewery specializes in 2 directions: traditional European beers and IPAs. As I'm not a big fan of IPAs, I was focused on the European styles during my visit. You cannot order beer flights here, but they can provide a short pour (10oz) of any beer with a limit of one short pour at a time. I tried many of Counter Weight beers before, but still their lineup was almost completely new to me, so my guess is that the beers are rotated often. I was able to try 5 beers during my visit. My absolute favorite was Grodziskie - a traditional 3.5% smoked wheat beer, which is incredibly hard to find in CT. But in general, I loved everything I had - Vienna Lager was rich in taste, Ein Helles was a direct hit in the style, and so on.

I'm pretty impressed by the quality of the beers produced here. If you're a fan of European beers, this should be a stop on your journey.“

“my fiance and i decided to try last night, and we loved them! i don't normally like sushi, but i'm pregnant and was craving it so the california roll that comes in the dinner box was a safe choice and it was AMAZING! we will definitely be returning! our new favorite food spot!“

“Great spot to vend Lucky Burrito Art Thank you for having us! Really friendly staff and atmosphere!“

“Creamy rich ice cream. Great portions. Great prices. Cute place to enjoy. Dog friendly. Kiddie size is more than enough for an adult. Smalls are huge! But I wish they would change up their flavors. Non chocolate, peanut butter and fruit types are bland and need a flavor immersion pop. The menu needs to add more flavors or change them up.“

“We had my daughter’s baby shower at Lola’s. From the start of booking until the day of the shower. So easy to work with. The day of the shower, we were greeted with such warmth and truly our waitress for our party, Becky, was fantastic. Catered to our every need and was so beyond helpful. She worked very hard and was so pleasant! The food was amazing and plenty of it! Guests went back for seconds! Becky even went above and beyond for my mom who couldn’t eat something and prepared a new one just for her. Truly a gem of a place! Thank you again to the owners and to our waitress who went above and beyond for making our day so perfect! We can’t wait to come back! Kim Landeen“

“very good ice cream never disappoints.“

“A Hidden Gem! 🍻Coles Road Brewing I recently discovered this amazing brewery and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed afternoon with Sean. The beer selection is impressive, with a wide range of styles to suit every palate. I especially loved No Straws Required-Raspberry ❤️ The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they're always happy to recommend a beer based on your preferences. If you're a beer lover in the Berlin/Kensington Area , you definitely need to check out Coles Road Brewing“

“Delicious americano.. And friendly barista!“

“We love Josies ! From the home made bread and muffins to the great staff we always have a great time .“

“In the area for business, avoiding big chain coffee shops, stopped into Bob's for a coffee and guess what happened......the nice man getting my coffee says no charge. Who does that? Bob's coffee shop, THAT'S WHO. Thanks.“

“We found Butcher Bros on a random google search and are so happy we did! It was a great way to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday! We had a large group and they put us in a room that we basically had to ourselves. It was a great experience from atmosphere to food! Thank you so much!!“

“The food and ice cream was delicious! also, friendly customer service will be back.“

“Cupcakes are very good. Not too much topping and cake is moist. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious homemade ice cream and friendly service! I think the Cookie Monster is my favorite, or the toasted almond… they are all so good I really can’t decide. Definitely check this place out for a cool sweet treat.“

“There is no doubt that Gouveia is photographer’s dream, and as full-time wedding photographers, we have captured engagements and even surprise proposals here on the beautiful property. Whenever a client asks about a nice view in the hills, a vineyard or winery, something that feels almost like Europe, we tell them we should go here! We love how much the owners and staff allow us to use the property with ease. The scenic vineyard looks like a perfect set was constructed for us, and the long leading lines of the rows and driveway all help our captures. We love going by the pond with couples, too, making it feel even more like we have transported to somewhere that isn’t Connecticut. It’s never a problem having other visitors there, or being able to hide and then catch the moment the proposal is happening. You can blend in and then pop out with any family or friends to the jubilant couple, moving right into the engagement session on the perfect property for it. Sunsets are always because of the clouds, and if you hit the right evening, it can be unforgettable here. The couples all grab some glasses at some point as well and love the offerings Gouveia has in all regards. Thanks again to the staff for helping elevate all of our occasions on the property, and we can’t wait to be back for more! Scott Kruitbosch @scottkruitbosch Noella Barone @photosbynoella“

“Awesome Beer! Super friendly staff!
Mark the head brewer and owner will make you feel right at home.
Played in the Inaugural Skee-Ball Tournament in the winter of 2025.

“The food blew me away for a tavern. It was delicious from the appetizer to the desert. Best meatball I ever ate. Would definitely drive the distance back to eat here again.“

“Lisa, Kayla and the team were awesome creating 75 ice cream cupcakes for my grandsons 3rd Birthday party. They were decorated perfectly with the Disney Cars theme of Lightening McQueen. The adults were so impressed having something unique and the kids were excited having a Lightening McQueen treat… thank you for adding that special touch to our party.“

“The Best Dairy Queen I have ever been too, friendly crew and a Great Owner, I will always support DQ in Cheshire ��“

“Freshest sushi, many rolls to choose from on the all you can eat with friendly service. I drive 45 min once a month. love this place!“

“I love the new location at 25 Kane Street, West Hartford Connecticut. Marisol Monserrate 🦋“

“No matter whether I’ve gone in person or ordered through door dash it has always been an enjoyable place to get food. I've gotten different protein bowls from them one I made myself and their special miso salmon. Both are so good and no matter who makes it, it is delicious and I enjoy getting it. After finishing my meal I am satisfied and the amount of rice mix with everything else is amazing. I also love going to the store and seeing the bowl made in front of me knowing the items are fresh and new everyday. I love this place and enjoy every bite of my bowls“

“Great place to hear some good music, have a couple of drinks and enjoy the atmosphere. Will absolutely go back.“

“FRIENDLY AND ATTENTIVE STAFF. FOOD IS FRESH AND WELL PREPARED .“

“Absolutely love this place.. Great atmosphere, food and staff! Love the outside dining option. I will be back for football season for sure!“

“4.5 overall
8.2 on the slice

Really top notch imo. I had a snafu and forgot to add a topping on a gh order. They let me call in and modify and pay cash at pickup. They didn't want to take my money on arrival which was nice of them. Tip your people, everyone!

The slice was great. Big flop because it had toppings, but it held beautifully. Great char on the bottom and that razor thin apizza crust. Toppings up to the edge. Good pie. I don't think it's wood or coal fired, but the got the temp right in that oven for sure. Good fresh ingredients!“

“The service was excellent at 11pm. The woman who took my order and gave me my food was pleasant and upbeat.
My food on the other hand, sucked. I ordered a classic chicken sandwich, no tomato or pickles. The preparation of my sandwich was spot on, except for the chicken. It was hard as a rock. Had the hardest time just trying to take one bite out of it. You could tell it was old and sitting around for a while.
Total waste of $10.“

“I go here almost daily. Simply the best.“
