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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Of course after walking around at the Brooklyn Flea we were sweating and needed something cool, so we waited in the enormous line to get an ice cream. […]

Little Cupcake Bakeshop was founded in 2005 in Brooklyn. They have expanded to two locations, one in Brooklyn and one in Nolita. We visited Nolita and loved the feel of the bakery (it just feels like a real bakery). They had an amazing assortment of cupcakes, it was hard not to buy one of everything! We got […]

The first store was opened in 2005 in Beverly Hills and they have expanded to 14 locations across the country. If you can’t make it to a Sprinkles […]

People are hanging out in here on their laptops, nursing a cup of coffee and cookie. There are over 30 flavors of cookies to choose from, all line up behind the glass. They offer […]

Leah and I were invited to Yvonne’s to the Champy launch party. Never heard of Champy? It’s Jenny Johnson’s new sparkling wine. Champy is a sparkling wine – a chardonnay and pinot noir blend. It has notes of citrus, sweet red raspberry, strawberry, green apple, and stone fruit. All the major players were at the party and Jenny looked […]
