Smoothies and Connect Four in La Canada-Flintridge

They had us at Hungry, Hungry Hippo. There it sat, beckoning on the coffee table next to a cozy leather couch. The Smoothie Stop is a real find — a La Canada-Flintridge strip-mall space that friendly owners have turned into a living room complete with Wii, magazines, and dozens of table games that you probably haven’t played for decades. Cool Lime, Blueberry Cream and fresh-squeezed orange lemonade are a few of the tasty drinks on the menu. Plus, hot and cold tea, soft pretzels, homemade cookies, and all the Battleship games you can handle.
