A pricey fruit stand of sorts, Èple—owned by Pinkberry—has opened at the Farmers Market at The Grove. It sells fruit bowls, fruit juices, fancy fruit sandwiches, fruit butter, fruity honey and other fruit-infused or -based items. I got a mango-ginger-honey-lemon (I’m pretty sure that’s the concoction) juice, which was close to $4. Expensive? Yes. But I did like it, made with just some ice and a bit of water and then the actual mango and other ingredients, it was somewhere between the consistency of juice and a smoothie. The person at the counter also gave me a sample of coconut butter on bread, and that was pretty good too. They said you could put it on pancakes etc. I can’t see getting much more than the juices, but I appreciated it wasn’t a whole meal in itself a la Jamba Juice and the rest.

Even if it’s pricey, it’s a great idea. I wish there was one in my area. When I went to Vancouver a while back I found a produce bar, which was really cool.
