Also when i poured the hot water over the granules it liked bubbled and foam'd really good. I thought to myself thats really weird and still drank it. The bubbles and foam went away quickly though. Then i meditated on the experience for like a month and waited to see maybe i was detoxing and mayb my body would want more but nope. Throwing it out eventually. Wanted to return it so then can try it themselves but havent had any time whatsoever. I travel for work. Might call them later though but one step at a time for this crazy life i have. & I eat, juice etc with a lot of ginger 24/7. Even the hyssop ginger tulsi mix never broke me out. The tulsi fennel shroom powder & ashwagandha was good though. Definitely saw benefits with those. Didnt have time to call or notify but just wanted to give a heads up. Btw u might want to call so they have your order ready or youll have to wait like 18mins. It takes a while fyi. Paid like $65 for everything bank in january for everything mentioned fyi. Paid card. Kind of cold in there and dark. Definitely warehouse vibes

[Review #294] 2018 Yelp 100 Challenge (59/100)…read more During this visit to Westwood Farmer's Market, Zen's Tea House caught my attention with samples. Charismatic salesman, Arturo, ran through his spiel of the available teas/drinks, touting all the health benefits of each. Hmmm... I'm a bit skeptical but I also grew up drinking my mom's brews (though I'm not sure if I benefited health-wise of her tonics). ;-) Golden Milk ("high quality" blend of turmeric, Vietnamese cinnamon, & pure ginger) caught my attention because of the health benefits of turmeric & ginger... though I use both for cooking (turmeric for curries & ginger for veggies), not to drink. :-O I was a little concerned about tasting turmeric since it's often used in Indian curries. Since their samples were blended with vanilla almond milk, the milk masks some of that turmeric & ginger pungency. In fact, it was quite smooth & tasty! =) Arturo touted the golden milk's benefits such as digestive discomfort, anti-inflammation, pain relief, cardiovascular health, weight loss, etc. I suffer from joint pain/discomfort due to old age, added weight, etc. so I'm hoping this miracle milk will ease some of that. He seems confident that I will be returning soon... well, let's wait & see. I plan to taste a daily dose for 2 weeks to see if there's any difference, & let you know in a follow-up review. According to their website, turmeric is "famous for anti-inflammatory & detoxifying properties, wonder remedy for injuries, joint pain, & toxin build-up." Vietnamese cinnamon is generally safe when used in amounts commonly found in foods, according to MedlinePlus. Cassia varieties of cinnamon -- including Vietnamese cinnamon -- contain significant amounts of coumarin, which is linked to potential liver damage. :-O So if you have liver disease, it is recommended to avoid dietary supplements containing cassia cinnamon, but using cinnamon for seasoning should be fine. When using herbs or supplements, it's best to talk with your doctor before consumption. Well, it's been a couple of days & I have yet to notice a difference... too soon to tell. But I do enjoy my daily cup of Golden Milk each morning to start my day. :-)

Angelito's had a stand at York Field in Whittier when I went for my son's baseball game. They have…read moresuch a cute mobile cart with their set up and even have merch for sale. Their coffee options looked great, they have classic espresso drinks, matcha, lattes and specialty lattes. Their milk options include whole milk, and for an extra $0.50, you can have almond or oat milk. All drinks come in one size (16 oz.). They also have home made baked goods. Today they were offering blueberry muffins, walnut brownies, and chocolate chip walnut cookies. After much contemplation, and discussion with the friendly barista, I decided on the horchata latte w/ almond milk and a blueberry muffin. The latter was great, not too sweet and a great flavor. The muffin was also good, it was bursting with fresh blueberries. It's a bit more dense than I'm used to, but I liked it. That being said, the only negative I could think of was the prices, they are quite high for what you get. My total for the coffee and muffin was $15.16, which is more than I paid for the huge breakfast burrito I picked up this morning. I would normally never buy coffee that cost more than an actual meal, but I was feeling generous and wanted to support this small business. They accept all forms of payment: Cash, Venmo, Zelle, credit card, & Apple Pay. They also do events so you can have them at your next party!

What a really happy accident Angelito's cafe was! I came to check out the new Northgate and it was…read moreway too insane. I ended up leaving and I literally ran into this little pop-up café. I was able to chat with one of the owners and he said that they're typically always inside crunch fitness. They post whenever there are there on their social media handle. But he said for the most part, they are pretty much always there. I got a hazelnut hot latte with almond milk. The latte was not only super warming and perfectly sweetened, but it was also very very tasty with great qualities beans. I wish nothing about success for Angelitos and hope that they stay consistently busy now that the center is up and going!

I've been coming to Bark Coffee in Uptown Whittier for a while and generally like supporting local…read morebusinesses. Recently I noticed a review mentioning that the younger employees sometimes struggle to keep up during busy periods and occasionally mess up orders. Unfortunately, I've had a similar experience more than once. To be fair, everyone makes mistakes, and working in customer service isn't easy. But after enough incorrect drinks, forgotten modifications, and inconsistent quality, I finally reached my breaking point. Ironically, I should probably thank Bark Coffee. The repeated order issues were the final push I needed to buy my own espresso machine. After spending some time dialing in my grinder settings, shot times, and technique, I'm now making coffee at home with a level of consistency and quality that honestly exceeds what I was getting during many of my visits. So thank you, Bark. You inadvertently inspired me to learn a new skill and save a little money in the process. Will I ever come back? Probably. If I run out of beans, need caffeine while already on the road, or don't feel like making coffee myself, I'll stop by. But for the foreseeable future, I'll be enjoying LARP Coffee from my own kitchen, where the barista never gets my order wrong. Wishing the team the best and hoping they can improve consistency moving forward.
