Cheer Up Charlie’s Grand Opening

Finally our hippie town is getting the food to match! I’ve heard great things about their coconut milk drinks served in a coconut, cacao drinks, and goji-berry-stuffed raw chocolate, but there’s more to come too! The east side is getting so hot …
… And Happy 25th Birthday to a certain June bride …

El Greco < Raw Food Bar at Whole Foods

I’d been wanting to try El Greco for awhile, ever since my mom met the head chef and told me how nice he was and that I needed to go try his restaurant. It’s on 31st & Guadalupe, behind the Mangia–which is a disadvantage for me, because I’d rather eat the delicious Mangia pizza I [...]

Daily Juice Cafe

Hello! I’m Lisa, and I’m often mentioned as one of Lyssa’s “companions” when she blogs. I’m now getting my own voice!
I started counting down the days to the Daily Juice Café opening last spring, after a Daily Juicer on a party boat told me about the plans for a full restaurant. Daily Juice [...]

Sunday Afternoon Veggie Chili Cook-Off

Cookie Lounge – Hello Candied Serrano Pepper

Candied serrano peppers.
Sure, the dough is good, the customizing thing is good, the choices are good … yeah, Cookie Lounge is good. But the candied serrano peppers make the place great. They make your cookie fantastic.
I had the gluten-free dough, which is made with amaranth–an ancient grain that’s so super good for you. It’s high [...]

Sugar Mama’s Bakeshop

Mmmmm more cupcakes. I know I’ve blogged about quite a few cupcake places, and my reviews are usually pretty good. I mean, it’s pretty hard to screw up a cupcake. (Well, that’s not really true, because Hey! Cupcake figured out how pretty easily) But after all the buzz Sugar Mama’s Bakeshop has been getting, in [...]

Sittin’ in Bouldin Creek Coffeehouse

Driving over here, I realized why people love Starbucks so much. I was nervous. Nervous to go to a freakin’ coffeeshop! But I didn’t want to look like the newbie. Regulars are nestled into their fave tables with their laptops and “the usual,” and I didn’t want to stick out like a sore thumb. I [...]

Joy o joy, Dhaba Joy!

When I first stopped in to Dhaba Joy to see what a vegan bakery looked like, and because I had read tons of awesome reviews on yelp.com, I got a vegan cookie. It was the most amazing, succulent, delicious cookie of my entire life. I became obsessed, and took everyone I knew there, and they [...]
