This Black Owned Coffee Shop in LA is the Best Alternative to Starbucks

There’s a beautiful happiness that you get when you find something better than what you had before. Maybe that something is big, small, or even a pleasant combination of the two. It can be finding love, landing a career, or if you’re like me it’s those things and discovering a new restaurant. Regardless of what

Have a Cup of Coffee and More with Sasquatch on Melrose Avenue

Coffee shops are becoming my thing. Not sure what qualifications set the standard for any business to become a “thing”, but if a mere adoration and borderline obsession to a place where I spend the majority of money is the only requirement, then coffee shops make the cut. After visiting so many places I’ve come

Taste a Little Bit of Cuba at Don Francisco’s Coffee Casa Cubana

We all know the feeling too well. The feeling of wanting to sink further into the sheets and pretend like the world outside the bed doesn’t truly exist. That being under the covers will recharge us even if it is just for another 8 minutes before the alarm rings out again. Snooze? Not this time

Loit in Downtown LA is the Perfect Place to Grab Coffee, Work, or Step Up Your Pinterest Photos

Sunday’s are made for relaxing. At least that’s what The Commodore’s would have you believe if their song, “Easy”, was coming through your speakers. On this specific Sunday the weather was overcast with a light breeze blowing through the hair of men and the dresses of women. The streets surrounding Loit, a new clothing store

Disheartening Presidential Election Conversations Over Coffee at Lavender & Honey

[The following opinions on the 2016 presidential election are a reflection of the blog’s author and not the restaurant featured.] At 7:30am this morning Lauren, Hope, and I sat at a corner table in the small coffee shop Lavender and Honey in Pasadena. While I wish we were having a typical morning conversation on lighthearted

Via Veneto in Santa Monica

A few days ago, I made a rookie mistake that I’m embarrassed about. Since this mistake happened at a restaurant I planned to review, I have to tell you about it. I figure if I can tell you the fun and exciting restaurant related news, then I should be able to tell you the weird

Comoncy in Studio City

Every now and then I get into a breakfast slump. The kind of slump where I’m so uninterested in breakfast that I would rather sleep through the birds chirping, ignore my stomach growling, and simply roll out of bed in time for lunch. The other day, I planned to bypass breakfast altogether until my foodie

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s Cookie and Cream Ice Blended

“Danielle, if you eat this the zipper on your skirt is going to burst.” That was me talking to myself one afternoon as I sat at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (TCBTL) in Downtown LA. I was meeting a few ladies and made plans to devour an ice blended. I had no problem devouring
