Mason Bar

I visited the Mason Bar today! Now what is the Mason Bar you ask, let me tell you. It is fresh, cold pressed juice and gourmet Popsicles. Seriously I watched them make the popsicles right there...they cut the fruit, the herbs...all of it. While I watched...it gets no fresher than that. I tried the Peach-Jalapeno. I thought OK,  that is weird. No, it was fantastic! They had all kinds of flavors from watermelon-kiwi to blackberry basil....so many fantastic flavors. 

 

The juice. Fantastic. Fresh. The owner Shaney and her children (who were making the popsicles) use organic ingredients whenever possible, They are growing their own herbs in the store in the hydroponics area...it is truly all about healthy and delicious. 

 The decor is so sweet, the location was a spa before with tons of cedar, they took the wood and re-purposed it and painted it and made it into the tables and benches. Here they are...so nice!

Great place, nice people, truly a family owned, local business. Visit them at 488 N. Causeway...right at the bottom of the bridge next to Buena Vista Park. It is absolutely worth checking out!

Their Facebook Page is here and their website is under construction!

Worked perfectly!

Cool Beans & More

I love checking out new places around town. My sweet friend Elaine from the Om Bar, told me about Cool Beans and More which is just off Flagler Ave on Jessamine behind Nejma's. They just opened on July 11th.

The have real Italian Ice and Coffee. Their coffee is organic and comes from Island Roasters, They have a delicious cold brew as well as the standard hot coffee choices. The coffee prices are the same as if you were to go to Island Roasters and get it yourself! They also sell water for only .75 a bottle, who does that? No one that I know of.

 Now on to the Italian Ice. It is delicious...yes, I sampled about six different kinds, chocolate being my favorite. The orange cream swirl a close second (think creamsicle). They have a bunch of different flavors to choose from.

Cool Beans is a little off the Flagler path you can either walk around behind Nejma's or come in the back through the gate from Jessamine. There is a really nice little courtyard with seating and a fountain to take a break from shopping.

They are open from 10:00 am - 8:00 pm except on Sunday when they close at 6:00 pm.

For sure worth stopping in for a treat!

Artisan Gardens

I had the pleasure of sitting down with the new owners of  Artisan Gardens today. They are located at 302 S. Riverside Drive and it is gorgeous. It is the former Clay Gallery (yes the pottery studio is still open in the back).

It is a fantastic setting right across from the water. They offer beautiful art, jewelry, delicious baked goods, pastries, muffins and coffee. The coffee is roasted locally by Hottie Coffee who we all know and love!

Artisan Gardens is a great place to hold an event from a small party to a wedding! This would be the ideal place to hold a company meeting or a family get together. It is also a perfect spot to just grab a cup of coffee, sit in the garden and read the paper.

They are open Monday thru Friday from 7:00 am - 2:00 pm. You can check them out on their Facebook page while their website is being developed.
