My friend Chaela has influenced many delicious habits of mine (tahini on toast, molasses on granola and yogurt), but I am now taking also taking inspiration from her parents. We got to visit with them in Chaela’s home state of Washington, and now, I’m determined to replicate their rhubarb sauce and red lentil hummus. Her parents also bake awesome pies (I feel I owe the success of the Paonia Peach Pie to them). Her mom, Tamie, has honed her kitchen skills for over 30 years at the charming Antique Sandwich Co. in Tacoma, WA. Check out some of the photos Chaela took of the place last summer. Her mom’s cafe was an absolute must-see of our NW road trip this summer, and it was certainly a highlight. At this point in the trip I was beginning to have eating out overload, so I didn’t plan to order this milkshake, but it looked too darling to pass up. No regrets. Espresso + Chocolate + NY Times crossword.

Sweetness 7: Best coffeeshop to work from in Buffalo. Located on the vibrant west side near Guercio & Sons Italian grocery.
The amount of cafes in New Orleans overwhelmed me. I didn’t even try to find my one coffeeshop to work from. I just worked from any old cafe, knowing that I would never have enough time in a month to find my favorite. However, Sara found Satsuma cafe, which I didn’t visit until my last day. Had I found it earlier, Satsuma, in the Bywater, would’ve been the one. Double americano and strawberry basil muffin.

Chicory coffee, beignets covered in so much powdered sugar I nearly choked. Better than your average fried dough.

I searched Miami high and low for a coffeeshop that had decent and affordable coffee, reliable wifi, comfortable seating, and maybe a friendly barista or two. I was surprised to find nothing even close (although there was great cuban coffee all over the city). Pensacola, on the other hand, surprised me with End of the Line Cafe, a bohemian vegan cafe. While I prefer dairy milk in my coffee over soy or almond milk, I’ll take it for the atmosphere at End of the Line. The folks are nice, the music is great, and the vegan sandwiches (blt and tempeh reuben) are excellent. They have a fixed dinner on Thursdays and brunch on Sundays. I’ll let you know.
