Right away I felt welcomed by Erica(store owner) who told me all about the teas and smoothie drinks and the add ins for extra nutrition or energy shots. All of the drinks are under 225 calories (unless you pile in the toppings) 24 grams of protein & less sugar than one banana. All teas are based with antioxidants. Ran by clean energy & they opened on August 11 2019. Now , the choices are vast and flavors so delicious sounding . I went with a white chocolate Reese's and it was perfectly made. You can add white chips or chocolate sauce ,but I kept it plain no whipped cream. I will definitely get again. They do use Herbal Life products here . Next I wanna try their banana bread flavor. I also had a rainbow candy tea . It wasn't sweet at all and was very refreshing. Next time I'll add a boost of B-12 (upcharge). Every drink has a sealed top ,so if you want to save it for later you can. Just pop your straw through it later.

The Wallingford Smoothie King has been a pretty regular stop for me either going into work or on my way home. Friday's are the best because their 20 ounce smoothies are only $5!!! But any day of the week their still a great choice. My favorite is the apple kiwi kale. So great! Well on my latest trip, I wanted to bring one home for my daughter. I walked in with an insulated freezer bag, hoping they could throw a few ice cubes in for me. It's a 20 minute ride home from there and it was 90 degrees out. Not only did they give me a few cubes, they filled the bag so the ice surrounded both cups! That was above and beyond what I expected! So, sadly, Wallingford will no longer be on my path to and from work. But it's so worth it, I know I'll make the trip soon!

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.

If you've seen the viral drinks floating around social media, you've probably heard about Paradise…read moreFrappe. I finally decided to check it out and it definitely lived up to the hype. 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.
