The space is clean and aesthetically pleasing, it actually looks comfy enough to sit and relax and hang out, though it's so convenient to grab the shake and go that that's what we do. The large meal sized shake is $12 which I think is reasonable. I've found my favorites and they've all been delicious, even the ones I don't get anymore. If you ask, they have a menu behind the counter you can look at for the macros, which I LOVE!!! I'm always looking for the most protein and fewest calories. The Crave is currently my go to shake based on that info. Service is good and there's an app and a drive through, super convenient and I feel like I've had something healthy after a shake! My hubby likes the protein bites too; but the macros don't work for me. LOTS of calories and not enough protein to justify it, for me personally. I was reluctant to go here, and now I'm a regular and a huge fan! read more

I've already visited twice & have nothing bad to say. The first time I went inside, the space itself is really cute, & has a good amount of seating available! The second time, I tried their drive thru. I thought it was pretty cool for an establishment that sells shakes. A few items we've tried so far, Hazelnut S'mores - Chocolate protein, Nutella, graham cracker, marshmallows with sugar-free chocolate drizzle, topped with graham cracker crumbles, & I chose to get it with coconut milk. 9.2/10 Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Moon - chocolate protein, strawberries, banana, cocoa powder, sugar-free chocolate cookie with sugar-free chocolate drizzle, topped with sugar-free chocolate cookie crumbles, & also with coconut milk. 9.5/10 PB Jelly Time - Vanilla protein, natural peanut butter, graham cracker, mixed berries, topped with graham cracker crumbles, & this one was with almond milk. 9.1/10 Chunkee Monkee - Chocolate or vanilla protein, banana, natural peanut butter with sugar-free chocolate drizzle when ordered with chocolate protein (This one was vanilla protein with almond milk) 9.1/10 Monkee Ballz - Made in-house with natural peanut butter, oat flour, chocolate whey protein, maple syrup, vanilla extract coated with semi-sweet chocolate chips, coconut oil. 8.5/10 tasty!!!! Definitely worth checking out & can't wait to already be back! The staff were also pretty nice. read more

Ordered an iced coffee and I couldn't put my straw in the cup because of all the ice piled in. I was informed (sternly shouted at) "that's how they train us to make them"....as the ice melts, it gets stronger". I don't see why they don't just add in cold coffee?? These ice cubes will take hours to melt and my protein was gone in 4 sips....wow! Expensive too!!! read more

Fresh Monkee - Berlin - Still waiting for my "coffee ice" to melt...still waiting....still waiting...lol!!!! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Berlin, Connecticut

Okay so I'm hooked now! My first time I was unsure what to get, the second time I learned what I liked but with a little trial and error, the third times the charm! I was indecisive this time going between my normal hazelnut s'more's and a more fruity combo. I opted in for the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Moon. I was surprised at how the chocolate wasn't m over powering and tasted just like a strawberry banana smoothie! Very delicious! I always get the Monkee Ballz too! Can't go wrong with the creamy peanut butter and chocolate protein treats! read more

Disappointed!!!! Loved going to this place until I noticed they use Azar peanut butter which contains peanuts, sugar, hydrogenated vegetable oils (rapeseed, cottonseed, and soybean oil), and salt. If you are worried about your health I would not drink their peanut butter products. Seed oils cause all kinds of health issues. For what you spend on smoothies, they should improve products used. read more

The Fresh Monkee is one of your favorite spots for a delicious shakes to cool off in the summer. Whether you like fruity, dessert inspired, or chocolate shakes, The Fresh Monkee has something for you. This visit I tried the Pumpkin Cheesecake and my husband got his favorite, Dirty Monkee, that is a chocolate shake with Nutella. These drinks are packed with nutritious and real ingredients. Many of these drinks have protein or protein bars blended in the shakes without the chalkiness. These shakes taste more like fruit smoothies. You can always add other items in like nut butters, banana and extra boots! The Fresh Monkee has multiple locations throughout CT, but the Berlin location is spacious with a large seating area. There is also a drive thru! The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable about the shakes. read more

This location was super friendly, inviting and fairly new as well. My order of a snack sized Dirty Monkey w/almond milk and vegan protein powder came out quick and everything was blended nicely. If you love chocolate, I highly reccomend you order the Dirty Monkey. Anyways, for those of you who do not know about the Fresh Monkee, this place serves healthy smoothies for either your own pleasure of having a smoothie or for a nice pre or post-workout meal as most of their shakes contain a protein powder of some sort. They have bite sized, snack sized, and full meal replacement sized shake sizes. They have plenty of options and combinations to choose from flavors wise and have plenty of dairy-free options/alternatives as they have dairy free milk and plant based protein powder. read more

I love a hearty smoothie. The customer service was really good. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I decided to get a dark chocolate smoothie to change up the smoothie selections. I usually order fruit smoothies. I thought the smoothie was decent. I wish it could've been a little thicker. It wasn't as filling as I thought it would be, but it did curve my appetite. I would go back to try another option, but over all I enjoyed my experience. read more

First time using the drive thru at the Berlin location. I knew my smoothie tasted off after just the first sip, they skipped the protein powder that is supposed to come in the smoothie. I only come here for one smoothie because most of the menu is unhealthy, and for $8+ (smallest size) I paid for fruit and milk. There wasn't much spinach added either it was so thin and foamy. If you have to order from the Fresh Monkee, go inside so you can see them make it. How dare you skip the most expensive ingredient when folks are using the drive thru. Very disappointed. read more

Fast service. Friendly staff. Clean ingredients everything looks incredibly fresh. Seasonal ingredients give a nice variety to the menu read more

First of all, wow! What a spot! I had my first ever fresh monkee smoothie today and where has this been my whole life?? I took once sip of my dirty filthy monkee and was instantly transported to a thick and creamy heaven with each slurp of my straw. I have become but a chimp for these shakes. Spectacular product, I finished in just a few minutes time - something I reserve only for the best! I ABSOLUTELY will be returning and am making it my mission to try every single shake - guess you could say I'm a thirsty, slurpin monkey! I will absolutely be getting into more monkey business as these shakes perfectly fit my macros, I get my protein wherever I can & today it was in the form of a dirty filthy monkee, snack size. Fresh bananas, great flavor, amazing texture, I'm in awe that this is my life!! Thank you fresh monkee and thank you to the franchisee! If I had the means or an angel investor I would certainly get into the monkey business myself, alas that's just a dream I'll have to ponder while I sip on some delicious smoothies. read more

Love this location! This local "chain" is growing so fast! I remember when they first opened in Wethersfield and they have come so far. I always get a snack sized Hazelnut Monkee. It feels like I'm cheating and drinking an unhealthy milkshake! This is a great grab & go lunch option when I'm out running errands on the turnpike. read more

On my initial visit I was a bit confused as to what was available so I solicited the recommendation of the very personable employee (OliviaH) at the counter. She recommended the ultimate green with orange (juice) which I ordered in the the snack size. I watched it being prepared and the quality of the ingredients was very good, but I would be less than forthcoming to say it tasted very good. Since this was my first experience, I was somewhat taken aback by the lofty price. read more

Finally, a smoothie place has opened on the turnpike. This is located in a newly constructed plaza in Berlin. Stopped in today and the service was friendly and there are a large amount of smoothie options and flavors as well as the option to make your smoothie dairy free with either almond or coconut milk and vegan protein. The shop has a few chairs where you can sit and enjoy your smoothie if you'd like, or there's ample parking if you just need to grab and go. I will definitely be returning frequently, and they offer a rewards card. read more

Fresh Monkee - Berlin - Chunky Monkey Bite Size - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Berlin, Connecticut

Meh, this smoothie tastes like fake sugar and I even asked for them to not put the stevia in my smoothies. But I failed to realize their protein powder most likely contains stevia or sucralose or xylitol or some other fake sugar to that effect. What I really don't understand is why be wasteful with whatever syrup drizzled around the edge of the cup; that I can neither taste or mix into my smoothie, I didn't come here for an aesthetically pleasing drink. This is the 2nd smoothie I've had from here, I don't really see a reason to come back. read more

Fresh Monkee - Berlin - Coffee buzz - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Berlin, Connecticut

I've been going to this location and other locations (Wethersfield and Glastonbury) for the last 5 years. Now I go about once every 2 or 3 weeks, but when I lived in Wethersfield, I went every weekday morning to their first location. Today I was at the Berlin location and was not impressed. The young man (Gavin) was taking orders, handling cash and cards, and making smoothies without washing hands in between. The smoothies my wife and I got (our regular drinks) did not taste the same as they usually do. My meal size filthy monkey tasted only of ice and a hint of chalky chocolate protein. No brownie, no peanut butter. My wife's hazelnut monkey tasted like ice and a hint of hazelnut. I'm very disappointed for the $14 and change I paid for these today. I couldn't drink mine and threw the entire meal size smoothie away. My wife had hers anyway. I don't think I'll be back at this location. The Glastonbury one is too far for me but has been the most consistent. read more

Despite my disdain for protein shakes, I decided to try Orange Dream from The Fresh Monkee. This franchise fails to openly disclose prices to customers, so I ordered a Bite Size (16oz) smoothie unknowning of the high cost ($6.43). The smoothie itself has the chaulky taste of protein powder. Surprisingly, I didn't hate the drink & may potentionally attempt a different flavor w/in the future. read more

I'm so happy I discovered this place! It's only few minutes away from the Newington LA fitness, which makes it a perfect place to go for a post-workout smoothie. They are extremely vegan friendly and the staff is so helpful/kind. So far I've tried the PB&J and Chunky Monkey shakes. They were both exactly what I needed. I'm excited to try more options in the future. read more

i would give it zero stars if possible. worst customer service i have received in my entire life.

I had an appointment and couldn't get there (the Berlin store) until just a couple minutes before closing. When they saw me approaching the door, the two employees quickly turned off the lights and disappeared. I had driven a long way out of my way just for a smoothie and was really irritated. Now in reading reviews, I see the one from the dietician that says their health claims are lies and tells how many carbs (which turn to sugar in your body) and calories in them and how unhealthy they are so I guess they actually saved me money, a whopping number of calories and diet busting carbs by closing a couple of minutes early, essentially slamming the door in my face! read more

Went on a Sunday even though we didn't have reservations we got seated. It was limited brunch menu, but food was very tasty. Got the wings, the bourbon bacon bbq sauce was very tasty & wings were large. B52 burrito was very good the flavors was great. Will go back to try the regular menu read more

Best shakes in town. If you're looking for a healthy and quick shake to replace your meal while working you can't go wrong here.

I'm extremely disappointed in this place I wanted to try it for the first time I was trying to ask a bunch of questions about some of the shakes as I was in the middle of talking to what seemed like to be the owner and or manager they stopped to take care of other customers right in the middle of a sentence which I thought was really rude and took about 5 minutes to come back to me I tried the meal size replacement shake which was supposed to be a banana split one I don't think I saw any bananas go in there and it tasted more like straight strawberries and they added more strawberries and mangos into the shake when they realize it didn't fill the cup therefore I don't even think they can actually count what the calories and everything is on each Shake because they just throw ingredients in it does not seem like they actually care about the health of the shakes the only thing good about this place was it was clean I had chunks of fruit still left in my shake and it still tasted like protein I don't think I will ever go back there read more

I had never been in your store, though friends have told me about it. I work in Newington and discovered the Berlin store. I went in on a Monday morning and the the 2 girls behind the counter were so friendly. They made suggestions, asked if I had questions. The girl with the tattoos made me feel comfortable by asking what I liked or didn't like. (I honestly expected the place to be much different.) Those girls made my morning. They had great energy together and were amazing with all the customers. I thought maybe I got that service since I was a new customer. But they gave it to everyone in there. I just wanted to say what a great experience I had and will definitely be back in Berlin to see them again. read more
