One Girl Cookies Brooklyn

Yesterday, I attended a lovely party in Brooklyn with my girlfriends where we swapped clothes and looked at the jewelry line Stella&Dot.  To my excitement, my friend Brittany of Brittlinco.com had picked up some cookies from One Girl Cookies.  I was happy to try every one and what made it even better was that they were all bite-sized so I could without getting a stomach ache!  They were so cute and delicious!  My favorite of the bunch was the Penelope.  A buttery cookie covered in chopped nuts with an apricot preserve filling.  It was like tasting the freshest shortbread cookie you’ve ever had!  The buttery cookie melted in my mouth with a sugary crunchiness as I finished it off.  This was definitely a surprise since I don’t usually go for this kind of cookie.  The next best sweet was Read More »

Extraordinary Desserts…San Diego

www.extraordinarydesserts.com

Well, I have been waiting to write this review for a while, but I had to taste just the right desserts at Extraordinary Desserts.  Of the many treats I tried, these two are my top picks.  Located right by my apartment here in San Diego, this adorable dessert shop is definitely a must.  They have a layout of stunning desserts unlike any I’ve seen!  What I love about the restaurant is that it’s a sit-down place and has award worthy desserts you can accompany with a glass of vino, coffee, or tea.  They are open late, which is key since most of us crave something sweet in the PM.  The two lovelies Read More »

Blue Bottle Coffee…San Francisco, CA


Blue Bottle Coffee
Various Locations throughout San Francisco

Saffron Vanilla Snickerdoodle Cookie

The most chewy, soft, flavorful snickerdoodle cookie I have ever had!  Blue Bottle Coffee is incredible in every way, shape, and form.  Their coffee is filtered and DELICIOUS, and they serve little treats and sandwiches that compliment any latte or espresso!  This particular morning, I was enjoying a Vanilla Soy Latte. To accompany this creamy beverage, I chose the snickerdoodle cookie.  It was LOVE AT FIRST BITE!  This cookie was cake-like, the softest cookie I have ever had.  The saffron vanilla flavor burst inside my mouth, adding depth to the traditional cinnamon sugar flavor of “other” snickerdoodles.  I don’t usually do dessert for breakfast but this was absolutely perfect!  xoxoBlondie
