The portions were also surprisingly big and very satisfying. One of the coolest parts of our visit was the interactive tables. The tables are actually screens where you can play games, take and print photos, view the menu, color virtual books, and explore so many other fun features. It made the whole experience unique and enjoyable. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Great food, great service, and such a fun atmosphere. Definitely a place worth visiting!

This spot is very unassuming because it's located near Walmart, so I wasn't really sure what to…read moreexpect. But as soon as I walked in, I said, "Ohhh, this has a vibe!" It's the kind of place that feels like you could actually hang out with friends over coffee and a little dessert, or just cozy up and chat for a while. It had that comfortable, inviting coffee-shop feeling I'm always looking for. It was a cold morning, so I ordered a hot vanilla latte. Since it was after 11 a.m., it wasn't very busy, which made it even more enjoyable. And let me tell you--the coffee was HOT! It also had a really nice coffee flavor without being overwhelmingly sweet, which I appreciate. They do offer matcha lattes, but I'm a little skeptical about those. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to try one! I grabbed my latte to go this time, but I'd definitely come back. I want to actually sit, sip, and enjoy the atmosphere--and maybe try some of their other flavors while I'm there. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

I've been told to try this place for awhile and finally went. Staff were super friendly, but…read moreotherwise I found this place pretty basic. There was a good variety of flavors but they were pretty ordinary. Although it was warm outside, the ice cream served to my friends and I was already partially melted when served, which indicates to me the freezers are not handling the doors opening often very well. Ice cream should be served still hard, without any liquid already pooling at the bottom. The ice cream itself was good but nothing extraordinary. Portion sizes were normal , though pricey compared to other local areas that offer heaping portions for similar prices. $8 for a small scoop in a bowl with 2 toppings is a bit steep in my opinion. They are also cash (or Venmo) only. Parking was easy on the street. There were seating options both inside in the AC and outside , it is a nice area along the main strip of Wethersfield. Good if you're in the area but probably not something I would drive out of the way for.

Best Burger I've Had in New England!…read more I don't leave reviews very often, but Smash & Shake absolutely deserves one. Hands down, this was the best burger I've ever had in New England. The burger was cooked perfectly with an incredible crust on the beef, piled high with flavorful toppings, caramelized onions, mushrooms, pickles, and an amazing sauce. Every bite was juicy, fresh, and packed with flavor. I also have to give a shout-out to the lady working the front. She was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and made me feel appreciated from the moment I walked in. Great customer service can make all the difference, and they definitely helped make the experience even better. You can tell this place genuinely cares about quality. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and it was worth every penny. Between the incredible food and the warm hospitality, it's easy to see why I'll keep coming back. If you're even thinking about trying Smash & Shake, do yourself a favor and go. They've earned a lifelong customer, and I already can't wait to come back. 10/10--without a doubt the best burger I've had in New England!

Absolutely Cooked…read more Tried Smash & Shake and BABYYYY... what the hell was this?! The dessert was so salty I thought y'all accidentally seasoned it for dinner. The aftertaste had me questioning if I ordered dessert or a freshly mopped floor. It tasted like Fabuloso, Dawn dish soap, and a little bit of regret got blended together. I took one bite and my taste buds immediately filed a complaint. Whoever made this dessert needs to apologize to my tongue personally. This wasn't a sweet treat--it was a chemical warfare experience with whipped cream on top. 0/10. My mouth is still looking for the nearest sink.

The minute we stepped in, we were greeted by Evan with a warm smile. He gave us some great feedback on flavors and what is popular, he also told us his favorite toppings and encouraged us to try some other ones as well. I decided to help myself to a little bit of each flavor and several toppings. Man what a treat this was. We may have to be in Avon next month, and we hope to visit this shop again. Thanks Evan for making this a great visit.

There were tables outside and inside. There were a wide array of flavors to choose from, they even had sugar free and non dairy options. You pick a cup which comes in a couple of sizes, then pick your frozen yogurt flavors; there were so many to choose from. After, this is where the fun begins, mix and match all the toppings you like; also so many to choose from. Once done, put your cup on the machine to weigh it, then pay and enjoy the treat. They also have ice cream, milkshakes, smoothies, and fruit bubble teas. Overall, a great place to get a fun treat.

TikTok Sent Me Here, and I'm Glad It Did!…read more I discovered Feshafeesh in Middletown after someone sent me a TikTok video, and naturally, I had to go check it out for myself. This is a small, fairly new dessert spot, and my experience was amazing from start to finish. When you walk up, there are large glass windows that give you a nice view inside. The space has a simple, modern white-and-brown aesthetic with brown stools, a wooden countertop, and a small seating area where you can sit and look outside while enjoying your treats. The owner was working in the back when we visited and was very welcoming and helpful. I had quite a few questions because there are so many delicious options on the menu that honestly, you're going to want to try everything! He was happy to explain things and help me decide what to order. We tried two Dirty Sodas: Pink Cloud and Ocean Breeze. Both were sweet, fizzy, refreshing, and really tasty. I definitely want to come back and work my way through some of the other drinks because there were several that caught my attention. For dessert, I ordered the Kinder Stick, and this was SO good! It had roughly five fresh strawberries on a stick, topped with chocolate, Kinder Bueno, and toasted coconut flakes. The combination was absolutely delectable. You get the freshness of the strawberries, the sweetness of the chocolate and Kinder Bueno, and that little bit of texture and flavor from the toasted coconut. It was the kind of dessert that completely satisfies your sweet tooth. One thing I really appreciated is that they use fresh ingredients, handmade batters, and make things to order. You can taste that freshness in what we ordered. I actually went later in the evening, but I can easily see this being a great spot to visit with the kids after school, stop by after work, or just come in when you're craving something sweet. It really feels like a place for everyone. Overall, the drinks were delicious, the dessert was amazing, the owner was welcoming, and there are so many things on the menu I still want to try. TikTok definitely did its job with this recommendation! I'll be back.

You can do takeout or dine-in, but even when dining in, you look at a menu, pay at the counter, and then it eventually comes to your table. I was lucky enough to come in when there was only one table and some takeout customers. As I left, several more people came in, so this place can become crowded. Aurora's is Guatemalan. They have a lot of brekkie stuff--huevos rancheros, omelettes with veggies, sausage, peppers, ham, sausage, etc. Breakfast sandwiches (BEC, beans, queso, ham, turkey, avocado, cheeses). Burritos (chorizo, loaded, veggies). Appetizers, like tacos, nachos, tostadas, and more. Sandwiches (burgers, steak sandwiches). Bowls and salads (house green, classic caesar, burrito bowl). Quesadillas and wraps (turkey avocado, buffalo chicken, churrascov, burrito, chicken bacon ranch). I had the Churrasco. It had a lot of fat, but it was more steak than fat, and the fat came off easily. The meat was tender and fall apart. I ordered the fries, but got rice, and that was okay. The black beans were great. The salad was a little palate cleanser. The thing I LOVED, ADORED, would help me ignore the fact the restaurant was so cold that I had to keep my coat on and shivered throughout my stay--the drinks. They have these great fruit drinks--grilled pineapple lemonade (my choice), homemade horchata, fresh melon juice, watermelon juice, etc. My choice, the grilled pineapple lemonade--I literally sucked that stuff down. It was fresh, refreshing, not too sweet, but just sweet enough. Let's go back to my elder millennial roots--"It's all that and a bag of chips." Would come here again, food, drinks, and service are great, but turn up the heat please!

The sandwich had that street food-style flavor I was craving, and the bread was soft but held everything together nicely. The sweet plantains were tasty and ripe, but a little on the greasy side for my liking. The watermelon juice was fresh, light, and refreshing -- not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Even though I didn't dine in, I've passed by the spot and it always smells amazing and has a warm, welcoming vibe. My order was neatly packed, and everything arrived intact, which shows care and attention to detail on their end. That kind of service goes a long way, even through delivery! Can't wait to stop by in person soon -- if the food tastes this good through DoorDash, I can only imagine how much better it is fresh off the grill.
