Only point I take off is because it's not my vibe but it was very clean and they had juice cleanse options for interested parties.

It's so nice to see someone who is clearly passionate about coffee and takes so much pride in what she does. She moves so quickly and efficiently, and I've never had a bad coffee nor pastry here. They have a great selection of house made syrups, along with a rotating list of monthly specialty drinks, so there's always something new to try!! The shop itself is tiny, but has such a cozy, welcoming vibe and is the perfect little spot to catch up with a friend. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area!

I finally had the absolute pleasure of visiting Crossroads recently. What an outstanding place…read more Super awesome, cool and friendly owner/staff. Inviting comfy space. So far, I have only tried the one latte, the jasmine peach latte, which had peach puree, house made jasmine syrup, house made white tea cold foam and dried peaches. It was probably the best latte I have ever had. While their specialty drinks are only available small & medium, their sizes are 16 oz, 20 oz, 24 oz, so the small is actually the equivalent of some shops' large. I have only heard good things about their baked goods/pastries and they both looked and sounded amazing. I can't wait to try one hopefully very soon! Overall it was as close to a perfect experience as you get. Must try for sure. Immediate top spot for me.

I did think the flavors could have been stronger, but again, it was pretty good. The baristas were very friendly, I would like to go back and try something else. The space was also nicely decorated, and there was a good amount of seating. It was pretty full though mid morning on a week day, so just be prepared. Again, pleasant, positive experience, just a touch underwhelmed.

They offer a wonderful variety of pastries, breakfast items, and other treats, and their beverage menu is full of creative and delicious options. The seating is thoughtfully designed, with cozy spots for couples as well as larger tables for groups, making it a great place whether you're meeting a friend, working, or just relaxing with a cup of coffee. Even on a Sunday, when it was busy, the service was quick, friendly, and efficient. One thing to keep in mind is parking. I visited on a Sunday, so metered parking wasn't enforced, but during the rest of the week you'll likely need to use street meters. Since it's located on a street lined with popular restaurants, parking may take a little patience. Overall, this place is truly a hidden gem. Great atmosphere, excellent selection, and wonderful service. I would absolutely recommend it 100%!

This cafe is so beautiful inside. You can tell they're inspired by the Middle Eastern culture by the Mosaic Lamps, as well as some traditional items on the menu, such as baklava. While the interior is lovely and plenty spacious, we decided to sit outside because we finally got a day without rain. I ordered their Graham Slam Latte. This was a delicious hazelnut mocha. Additionally we got a cappuccino, a mocha, a Strawberry Hibiscus refresher and a Mosaic Cake. Everything was very tasty and everyone was very pleased. The Mosaic Cake was delicious with its dark chocolate base, and it reminded it me that I actually haven't made it in years. We had a very pleasant time at MOTW.

I had to check this place out after seeing their viral fruit pastries on TikTok. I asked the woman…read moreat the counter how long they've been open--she said three years--and the line was nearly out the door, so they're clearly doing well. That said, the experience was pretty confusing. There were photos of drinks on the wall but no pricing. The only thing I noticed with pricing was a Dubai chocolate drink listed for $30! They didn't have the fruit pastry flavors listed inside; we only noticed them posted outside on the window after we had already ordered, and the flavors online didn't exactly match what was in-store. The biggest shock was the price. The fruit pastries were $12-$15 each, which felt excessive. I've been to plenty of high-end spots for dessert, and this was easily the most expensive I've paid. When I asked about the pricing, I was told everything is made in-house--which I would expect at that price point anyway. I ended up getting the piña colada and mango fruit pastries, along with a passionfruit lemonade that was also $12. Everything tasted good and fresh, but quite sweet and, in my opinion, overpriced--especially for Meriden, CT. Overall, tasty, but not something I'd go back for given the cost and lack of clarity in the ordering experience.

First, a quick tip: their winter hours are Tuesday-Sunday from 12 PM-7 PM, so plan your visit accordingly. The menu is full of creative fruit drinks, pastries, and trendy desserts. They have flavors like strawberry, mango, passionfruit, piña colada, and even Dubai-style desserts that you see all over social media. On my visit I ordered three items: * Boba Strawberry Passionfruit Lemonade * Coconut Passionfruit Frappe * Dubai Sundae The coconut passionfruit frappe had the perfect consistency; smooth, creamy, and refreshing. The coconut and passionfruit flavors balanced each other perfectly and tasted very tropical. The boba strawberry passionfruit lemonade was also packed with flavor. It had fresh strawberry pieces, lemon slices, and passionfruit pulp. Just be careful of the lemon seeds. It even had a fun little surprise on top; a candy shark and what looked like Nerds candy, which made it extra playful. Inside, the shop gives off tropical island vibes. It's a small space but there is seating available. Today Friday the 13th, there were only two people ahead of me, music playing in the background, and a TV on. The wait wasn't long and the staff was very friendly and helpful. For the three items I spent about $45, but considering the fresh ingredients, presentation, and portion sizes, I would say the price is reasonable. If you enjoy colorful drinks, tropical flavors, and viral-style desserts, Paradise Frappe is definitely worth checking out.
