I have been wanting to try this place for 2 years. I don't typically come up to this area- but…read moreoccasionally work brings me this way. So for the past 2- I was always coming up on the ONE weekday they were closed. I finally saw that it was open today and went out of my way to try it! It was absolutely worth the wait. I got a strawberry watermelon smoothie and you could tell it was all fresh fruit used and it was so delicious! Definitely top 5 best smoothies I've ever had!!! This reminded me of a smoothie I got in the Dominican Republic- so FRESH & so delicious. The place is small- but ADORABLE! It was IMMACULATE in terms of cleanliness. I didn't see a speck of dust anywhere and the toppings for ice cream- appeared out of a magazine- it looked that picture perfect. They have a little swing against a wall- with a neon sign that says the name of the establishment. It appeared functional- but I didn't want to break it- if it wasn't so I didn't try it. Lol. Service was great! Friendly and personable staff and my smoothie came right out. It took under 4 minutes for me to get this delicious smoothie!! If you're in the area and you enjoy smoothies - I highly recommend trying this spot! My smoothie is amazing!

Seen the posts and videos on instagram and finally was in the area to check this place out. I chose…read moreto try for my first shake the "Cinnamon Toast Cheesecake" and I was quite pleased with how it tasted. I chuckled seeing a sprinkle of cinnamon toast crunch cereal bites on top. Certainly a place I will visit again and again when in town. Judging by the posts on instagram there are always monthly flavors to check out and try.

So delicious! We ordered a green bowl and a strawberry bowl through a delivery service…read more The portion was perfect. The quality of composition and ingredients were spot on! We'd order from here again.

Playa Bowls is definitely a welcome addition on the UConn Storrs campus! The açai bowls are big and…read morevery filling and the fruit is always super fresh. The two times I added something extra to my bowl, the staff forgot to add it so just make sure to double check your bowl. However, they are very kind and quick to add the topping when you point out the mistake. The decor is also so cute and feels like you're somewhere more tropical than Storrs.

Great spot. Lots of awesome food to pick from along with a full coffee and smoothie bar. The staff…read morewas very helpful and actually had personality - can't say the same about other places. Had lots of seating and a nice spot to chat with whoever you're with. Nice college town spot for sure, will go back! IG - baroqueplates

For the price, no wifi, no outlets, and the worst service you will find in Storrs you should go…read moreelsewhere. An older man in a puffer vest (no uniform of any kind, I thought he was a customer at first) took my plate without asking if he could, asked me if I was staying long then told me they would need the table soon for their lunch rush, and then walked away quickly before I could reply. Confrontational enough to suggest people leave but not brave enough to post seating limits is definitely a choice a business across the street from a college.

Nice local ice cream shop…read more Was in the area and hankerin' for a sweet treat. So we stopped by this local ice cream spot for a cone. Girlfriend got a waffle cone, and I opted for the ice cream sandwich with chocolate chips. The ice cream sandwich was good. Cookies were chewy but thin and the ice cream was a little too frozen to have the chocolate chips stick. But the ice cream was okay and the sheer size of the sandwich made the price worthwhile. The ice cream is Giffords, which is okay hard serve. Compared to the local creameries, it's not really great ice cream. But sometimes you don't need that overly sweet ice cream treat, you want a cone of good enough and the price to match. This place meets those requirements, and does a pretty decent job of it. As a roadside ice cream shack, it scratches that itch when you just want something sweet. Go in for the basics, and you won't be disappointed.

I am a huge fan of The Fresh Monkee and was so happy that I "accidently" discovered this location…read morewhen I was recently needing a protein fix. Little did I know that this was the newest location that they had opened in Colchester, CT. Great space operated by a husband and wife with a passion for the business and the same great shakes you have come to know and love at their other locations. I have a tried and true DIY recipe but this time I purchased one of their seasonal flavors and yup -it still hit the spot. If you are looking for a protein shake with real (and not powdered ingredients) - then you need to add The Fresh Monkee to your list of places to visit.
