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.

I explained what I've been experiencing and she referred me to the dragon fire shot , and pointed me to the midnight lemmy drink with activated charcoal which works as a binder to help cleanse the digestive system WHICH IT DID.. and 24 hours later i literally felt better and woke up without the drowsy feeling from the previous days I actually felt energized!

They are right next-door to the Meriden green. We plan to get food again and have a picnic there and go for a walk in the near future. Update : ok I ordered on DoorDash another time unfortunately, I receive the classic vegan chicken sandwich instead of the buffalo vegan chicken sandwich that I ordered. When I called, they were going to refund me for the sandwich or give credit. I took the credit and today I got the vegan buffalo chicken sandwich. It was delicious. I was actually nervous about the bacon and called them to confirm it actually was vegan as well as the cheese. It was very good so glad they are here in Meriden. We

I asked the older lady in the cashier why she was charging us extra when a large order with choice of rice, beans, salad and two meats was $18.72 + tax, so she gave me actitud right away and said that the extra charge was for the beans??? She was charging us more than $5 for beans???? So I explained that we didn't ordered an extra side of beans, that i just asked to put the beans that came with my order separately, so she started scalding the other young lady for giving us too "much" and grab the small beans container and went and dumped back in the big tray of food just leaving the very bottom, almost emptied the container and thrown it back to the bag of food saying there it's!! I look at her and I ask if she was joking??? It blew my mind what she just did... that was such an insult! To my surprise she said she wasn't joking and that's all we were getting with the order!! I took the almost empty container of beans and give back to her and I told her to keep it but I was very upset that she was so mean about a side of beans... well she never apologized, neither she changed her actitud she just proceeded to ring me out, to which my order now was only $18.72 + Tax = $20.10 then she make herself busy at the phone and didn't even look back when giving out my receipt... so awful, awful service... if you're Spanish then you know that beans & rice are NEVER an issue, if anything you have to tell them to put a little less, but in this place they have been charging us extra for beans that are part of a Large order, so be careful when ordering from this place. Food is decent, nothing out of the extraordinary but it's ok so I give them 3 stars.

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!
