February 9, 2016 Deuxave
Last week I had the opportunity to meet Deuxave‘s new pastry chef, Shaun Velez. When I asked how it all started he said that he was on track to go to college and get a degree in science, but when he go there, he realized that college just wasn’t for him. From the very moment […]

December 30, 2015 Blackbird Doughnuts
My friend Lollie shares my obsession with doughnuts (OK, I have an obsession with all dessert…)- so we decided to meet up for a little “research”. Lollie, Leah and I headed over to Blackbird Doughnuts and picked up a few to try. Don’t worry, this was a working lunch meeting 😉 Now that I look […]

December 27, 2015 Daily Grind
We went to visit my brother in North Carolina and he took us to one of his favorite places for breakfast. The Daily Grind is a great little coffee shop where you can grab a bite to eat and do a little work on your laptop – oh, and they have great coffee too. If […]

December 26, 2015 Petticoat Row Bakery
On a day trip to Nantucket this fall, we spent the afternoon walking around the island. One stop was the Petticoat Row bakery, a cute little shop just off the beaten path. With the summer season coming to a close, their cases were a bit more sparse than usual, but we still found some delicious […]

December 22, 2015 Mariposa Bakery
After lunch at the nearby Naco Taco, we decided to stop into Mariposa bakery. The chop is super cute with exposed brick walls and some great lighting from the large windows in the front. There are a bunch of tables inside, where you can enjoy your treats if you don’t have the willpower to make […]

December 10, 2015 Pinkberry
Did you know that Pinkberry serves breakfast? I was pumped to try it out since Pinkberry is my favorite yogurt place. I ordered the acai bowl with granola and raspberries and a Barrington coffee. The coffee prep was impressive, the girl behind the counter made if with a French press. The acai bowl on the other […]

December 7, 2015 Anna’s Hand Cut Donuts
Donuts are my friend Lollie’s thing. We were talking about the best places to get them and she told me about Anna’s Hand Cut Donuts in West Roxbury. This hole in the wall place is open at 5am and are sold out by lunch. Old timers sit at the counter and chat while drinking coffee […]

December 3, 2015 Morano Gelato
We headed over to the Chestnut Hill mall to get some gelato at Morano Gelato. Morano is a New England based company that makes gelato in small batches. There’s a large window where, if you’re lucky, you can catch a glimpse of them making the gelato. What is gelato? It’s Italian ice cream that has much […]

November 26, 2015 Magnolia Bakery
What trip to New York is complete without stop at Magnolia Bakery? We were staying in midtown (let’s not talk about it) and so we headed up to the Rockefeller Center location. Not quite as charming as the Bleeker Street location, but hey…let’s not get picky. Have you checked out their instagram account lately? I […]
