$3.49
Java Detour, Las Vegas NV
I attended another conference in Vegas and always had to run to the coffee shop downstairs to grab food beforehand. None of it was really that good but it kept my stomach at bay during sessions. 🙂
16 ounce coffee. $3.49
Banana. $1.50
Statues facing the Flamingo.
Perhaps I’ll refer to this as an open-face ham and cheese croissant, hehe. Or danish? Whatever you call it, it was delicious! $3
Cafe Besalu, Seattle WA
Lush sidewalk plantings, Ballard.
Mmm, the pastries at Cafe Besalu are delicious and this strawberry danish is no exception! I love the cute twist they add on the corners. $3

Eye Benches, Louise Bourgeois, black Zimbabwe granite, Olympic Sculpture Park.
With fresh mozzarella and mixed vegetables. $3.25
Papplecco, San Diego CA
This was more flatbread than focaccia to me. If it was focaccia, then it’s the thinnest focaccia I’ve ever had, hehe! It was ok – I liked the ovalina better. I think part of the reason it wasn’t as good was because it came out cold and it wasn’t as cheesy.
Balboa Park Botanical Building, center dome.
Flatbread with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil. $3.25
Papplecco, San Diego CA
This was a great morning bite to start off our day. It was like a cheesy pizza pocket that was grilled to order, yum!
Medium coffee. $2
Natural History Museum, Balboa Park.
Tropical Dreams Ice Cream. $3.50
Waimea Coffee Company, Waimea HI
This ice cream was gross! It was uber soft and had a nasty texture. If I wanted a milkshake, I would have ordered one. It’s a flat-out abomination to serve ice cream this soft! Lame.

Tropical Dreams Ice Cream. $3.50
Waimea Coffee Company, Waimea HI

Sweet Tooth: Kiawamururu. Single origin espresso from, Nyeri, kenya. Tastes like: pink grapefruit, nectarine, ripe clementine. $3.50
Ritual Coffee, San Francisco CA
I’m definitely not a coffee expert so I don’t know how they can differentiate all these different flavors that they use to describe each roast. I certainly can’t distingish all of them in my cup. I either like or dislike a coffee right off the bat though, especially when they have a gross sour quality to them. The coffee and espresso at Ritual Coffee has never let me down. Although I can’t taste all the flavor nuances, I can still enjoy their cup of joe.
Los Idolos decaf coffee. Huila, Colombia. Tastes like: bananas foster, berry fragrance, cherry-chocolate cake. $3
Dramatic sunrise from my balcony.
With cheddar cheese on ciabatta. $3.99
Firehouse Coffee, Seattle WA
This is a cute neighborhood coffee shop on Market Street in Ballard. I like how they use very homey mugs and plates. The sandwich was pretty good and they did a great job heating it up.

I also had a nectarine danish with this, but I somehow lost the pic – oops! I really love the pastries at Cafe Besalu and their espresso is also pretty tasty.
Random tv dumped next to the sidewalk, NW 57th Street.
With light cream cheese and fresh fruit (kiwi, cantaloupe, grapes, strawberry).
Park Rock Cafe, Joshua Tree CA
This little cafe is adjact to the Joshua Tree visitor center and the woman who was working the counter was super friendly. This bagel wasn’t the freshest bagel ever, but I appreciated that it came with fruit (which I wasn’t expecting) so it was a great value.
