Want the caffeine buzz without the coffee steam and heat? Try a Phoenix Phreeze from the Phoenix Café in Coventry. It is a coffee blended with ice, cream and sugar to kick your morning up a notch. Frankly the icy cold creaminess of a Phoenix Phreeze might wake you up better than a black coffee. Try it in a variety of flavors like mocha, caramel, vanilla, coconut and more. What's best is the frozen coffee holds up to a dollop of whipped cream too.

B Spot

Michael Symon's B Spot has been a "Best Burger in America" winner from the Sobe Burger Bash for four years now. His menu is refreshing; just burgers, brats and great big sandwiches. Pickles and all things pickled are served on the side along with a variety of awesome sauces to choose from and "grown-up" frozen milkshakes. A "grown-up" milkshake meaning alcohol is involved. Take the traditional B Spot creamy milkshake, like the chocolate espresso milkshake, and add a shot of the suggested Frangelico or Bailey's and you have a dessert worth savoring. B Spot burgers might heat you up but the frozen milkshakes with caramelized marshmallows will definitely cool you down.
