Chinatown Series: Summer Frappe

Here begins our Chinatown series! Just so happens that we've been eating out a lot in Chinatown. Hope you enjoy our dining experiences as much as we did!

We were killing some time before Slow Friday in Chinatown and looking for a small snack to eat when we came across Summer Frappe. At first we were going to pass it by, but we're so glad we didn't!

Ambiance:

A small shop with barely enough room for two tables, Summer Frappe is not for the claustrophobic. However, the interior was cutely decorated and it was nice to see the fresh fruits used for the drinks on display.

Service:

The guy who made our drinks was friendly and personable. Our drinks and food were made in a timely manner. No complaints here!

Food:

• Mango and orange smoothie: Absolutely delicious and perfect on a summer afternoon. There were no powders used to make this drink. They use real fruits here and it makes a world of difference. Would drink this every day if possible. 
• Thai iced tea: Pretty good. They ran out of tapioca balls, so different bubbles were added. The bubbles were fruity and not a good taste match for the Thai iced tea. 
• Summer rolls: So good! Unlike many of the summer rolls we've had at other Vietnamese restaurants, these summer rolls were heavy on the lettuce and lighter on the noodles. Summer rolls are pretty much one of the most deeelicious foods on the planet anyway, but Summer Frappe makes them on a whole different level.

Value:

Our snack came out to a little over $10. A little pricey for drinks and summer rolls, but with the amount of fresh fruit used in the smoothie, it was worth every penny.

Overall:

A great place for healthy but delicious drinks made with real fruit. So good! If only it were located a little closer to home...
