    Default Do you like Davinci or Torani syrups better?

    I've tried sf Torani syrups. It's better than Atkins. Haven't tried Davinci. Which one do you like better?;o

    I have used all three, I like the Davincei and the Torani equally but I didn't care for the Atkins. The Atkins is about $1.00 more than the others, thats a lot of money when you are buying around five bottles at a time.

    The Torani is sweetened with Splenda and Acesulfame potassium. I like both Torani and Davinici and also some of the Nature's Flavors. I wasn't crazy about Atkins either but in a pinch if it's all I can get will use it.

    Found DaVinci syrups at TJMaxx and also syrups by Artisan Coffee Roasters. Anyone heard of them? They have an excellent chocolate-raspberry flavor and are sweetened with splenda. They cost a buck less than the DaVinci brand.

    I'm a die-hard DaVinci girl! LOL!

    I've tried Atkins, Torani, Nature's Flavors (UGH!) and Hawaiian Shaved Ice syrups, and I'll still spend a buck or so more for the DV. To me they just taste the best. And I've got close to 40 of 'em!

    In a pinch I'll buy Torani in strawberry, but I don't care for their other flavors very much.

    I've used a few Natures Flavors too -- i like their "liquid splenda"
    some of their flavors are OK

    Yes, I bought some of the Artisan Coffee Roasters syrups at our TJ Maxx too. They seem ok. But I haven't tried the Da Vinci's yet though. I want to try theirs too since they seem to be "preferred" brand of most people.

    I like the DaVinci best - we used to order from the website but I found that our mall pharmacy (if you can believe it) has them for like $6 a bottle (large 750ml size). My new fave is Raspberry! I love to splash some into sparkling water over ice for an afternoon treat. Mmmmmmmmm!

    The DaVinci website has the raspberry for $1 off right now, FYI. I like it a lot, too.

    I prefer the Torani. To my taste, the flavor seems stronger and "thicker" if you will. DV is fine though. It's right up there.

    I used to buy Nature's Flavors but they are so inconsistent it's hard to know what you're going to get. Thier neutral base syrup was great to have but now, with the concentrates, it isn't necessary.

    Atkins is terrible!

    I get the Torani syrup at Cost Plus World Market for $5.99 a bottle. Sometimes, they run a sell for $5 a bottle. Good syrup and a good price.

    I've got a few of Davinci and Torani, both. My favorite syrup, the only one I can't live without, is Torani Irish Cream Syrup. I can't buy another bottle locally so I'm about to go on-line right about now and order a couple more bottles.

    It's very good. I WISH I could find a syrup that has the taste of brown sugar. Any recommendations? The Irish Cream is the closest I've come to this, and it's not an exact match by any means, but it's very pleasing. I put it on my flax cereal in the morning.

    Torani Vanilla blows. I threw it away. I would rather use real vanilla.

    I'm in the market for a good strawberry syrup. What I would *like* is one that would allow me to turn my vanilla soymilk (Soy Slender) into something like Strawberry Quik. I used to love Strawberry Quik.

    I have DaVinci chocolate. It's pretty good and it's convenient, but it's not mind-blowing. They could make it a little stronger. Much better than having nothing at all, though.

    Torani Hazelnut is good, but it's so strong I can't find a use for it. It has a very strong flavor.

    After I had read so much on here about the Davinci syrups, I decidied to try it. Our Wal mart had the SF syrup in Hazelnut and French Vanilla. I got the hazelnut, and some half/half. I LOVE it! Thanks for the suggestions.

    I had been drinking the LC French Vanilla creamer, but I was looking for something without all that junk in it!

    Doctor I,
    Nature's Flavors makes a brown sugar s/f syrup. I use it in "Maggies Cereal" every time with some cinnamon. Yummy! The "brown sugar" taste could be stronger but it's not bad.
