The General Muir — Bagels

The General Muir’s Sesame Bagel

We would have preferred poppy. But, beggars can’t be choosers. Even after an early lunch, the bagels were almost gone by the end of our meal. So, go early!

What separates a good bagel from a great bagel? […]

Maui Mokka @ Starbucks

Maui Mokka — Starbucks Reserve

We’ve been lounging for almost 4 happy years in the Dancing Goats camp (Batdorf & Bronson, Dancing Goats, more & more still). But, a serendipitous fluke had us wandering randomly into the Decatur Square Starbucks. We stumbled upon a display of Starbucks reserve […]

Cakes & Ale Bakery

Almond Croissant

There are no words to adequately describe the goodness.

The outer layers are delightfully light, flaky, airy and crisp in a perfectly fragile and delicate way. The interior is buttery, dense and so deliciously rich with sweet, almond paste. It’s literally […]

Choices…

…Choices

This was a great choice.

Batdorf & Bronson

Batdorf & Bronson’s Nicaragua Isabelia

The description says it all “Balanced & sweet with black cherry, cocoa, and cinnamon”. Deep, dark (but, not too dark), rich, and complex, we’re both loving it. And, the roast date was within 2 days of our purchase. That’s another reason to love […]

Cuban Diner

Vaca Frita

Vaca Frita (Fried Cow)… This is one of the all-time great classic Cuban dishes. The best? On the right day, we might debate the issue.

Tender shreds of braised or roast beef are pan-fried until crispy at the edges. Then, it’s usually tossed with […]

Alcove Coffee

The Tableside View of Georgia’s Lake Lucerne

After a hike up Stone Mountain (By the way, did you know that you’re officially a slacker if you only hike up and down once?), we discovered that the nearby Starbucks has morphed into an Alcove Coffee. Major (Major) Improvement.
