Vanilla ice cream with miniature peanut butter cups and thick fudge. Junior scoop $2
Ice Cream Etc., Savannah GA
This ice cream was super sweet and rich. Maybe too sweet and rich for me. Not a fan…
Propeller Club Memorial Fountain, USS Savannah Marker. I came across this fountain on the riverside walk along the Savannah River off W River Street. There’s a lot to see and do along this walk and the breeze along the river makes for a pleasant stroll.
Tart and tangy passion fruit curd topped with chocolate mousse. Complimentary
London (LHR) to San Francisco (SFO), Virgin Atlantic
I’d never seen this Gu brand before, but I enjoyed this sweet treat served towards the end of the flight. The slightly tart passion fruit and sweet chocolate were a great combination!
Plain waffle with caramel topping. £2.50
Belgian Waffle Stand, London ENGLAND
This random waffle stand sits right outside the Green Park Tube Station and literally smells of butter and sugar, lol! They offer a variety of toppings including chocolate, strawberry, cream, fruit, etc. The waffles are super sugary and the caramel sauce made it even sweeter. It had great flavor and it was warm, but definitely way too sweet for me!
Vodafone-branded London taxi cab. The cars are wrapped in a Union Jack design made up of over 2,000 London street names. I think they look pretty cool and I guess Vodafone customers can also charge their phones and pay fare via text!
A chilli infused, fudgey, dark Belgian chocolate torte with a smooth dark chocolate ganache topped with dried chillis. Contains nuts, vegetarian. 170 calories, 4.9 g sat fat. Buy 3 or more, Eat in £1.20 each
Starbucks, London ENGLAND
This was my favorite of three bars I tried because it was the least sweet! It had a great chocolate and chilli flavor and I enjoyed the dense, fudgey texture.
St. Paul’s Cathedral, Statue of Saint Paul. We approached the cathedral from the back side where it’s actually green and quaint as opposed to the stark, cement area in front of it. We walked inside for a little bit and it’s absolutely beautiful! The stained glass windows and large organs are amazing!
Callestick Farm Cornish dairy soft ice cream served with a chocolate stick. Small £2.30
Josef Ice Cream Van, London ENGLAND
The day got surprisingly warm so we took an ice cream break at the Joseph Ice Cream Van parked along the Tower of London. The soft serve ice cream was SUPER airy and whippy! The chocolate stick was odd in that it’s really a compressed chocolate ribbon making it light and crumbly. Ahhh, just what we needed!
Demetrius and Tristen bask in the sunshine along the River Thames on our way to Tower Bridge.
Tower Bridge south suspension. A beautiful and easily accessible bridge – no wonder this iconic bridge is SO popular with us tourists! There are tours that take you up one tower, across the walkway, and down the other tower. Didn’t do it this trip but it sounds fun!
A vibrant fruity strawberry shortcake topped with yogurt and strawberry pieces. 207 calories, 6.3 g sat fat. Buy 3 or more, Eat in £1.20 each
Starbucks, London ENGLAND
It’s a little bit odd that Starbucks in England charges you more if you’re going to eat the food in store. I guess we’re just not used to that in the States. It’s usually built into the price already. This bar was, again, super sweet! Probably my least favorite of the bars I tried.
London Eye, Millennium Wheel, River Thames. This is the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe and the tallest structure in London. It’s a bit of an eyesore but I think it’s pretty cool anyway. I snapped this pic from the Hungerford Bridge and you can see the Palace of Westminster on the right bank of the river.
Salted caramel, pecan and biscuit filling on a chewy biscuit base topped with milk Belgian chocolate and pecan pieces. Contains nuts, vegetarian. 248 calories, 4.1 g sat fat. Buy 3 or more, Eat in £1.20 each
Starbucks, London ENGLAND
We don’t have these petite bars available at U.S. Starbucks which is totally lame! The Starbucks in Europe have such better pastries, desserts, and food in general than those in the States. This was a little sweet for my taste but definitely delicious. I can’t believe they can pack almost 250 calories into this tiny morsel!
Trafalgar Square, National Gallery, London 2012 Olympics Countdown Clock. The fountains in the square are also pretty cool and they have sea-themed statues in the middle like this one with mermen and dolphins.
Assorted desserts including cholocate covered strawberry, orange macaron, cakes and cones. Brunch buffet $22
Wicked Spoon Buffet, Las Vegas NV
Mmm, all of the desserts were SO delicious! I actually ate even more but I was on a sugar high and didn’t remember to take pics.
Sponge cake with whipped cream and strawberries. Brunch buffet $22
Wicked Spoon Buffet, Las Vegas NV
After filling up on lots of heavy savory items, I moved on to sweets. This strawberry dessert looked pretty good and tasted good too!
Vanilla flavored ice cream mixed with crushed Oreo cookies. Yotopia serves Mitchell’s ice cream! I’ve always been a fan of this flavor. 1 scoop $3.25
Yotopia, San Francisco CA
Red chairs at Mint Plaza. I wonder how many of these modern chairs are stolen from the plaza monthly?!
Baby coconut flavored ice cream. Yotopia serves Mitchell’s ice cream! This flavor is so creamy and smooth with delicious, tender coconut bits. 1 scoop $3.25
Yotopia, San Francisco CA
Jesus Loves You!, Valencia Street. This tile mosaic message is in front of the Templo De La Fe Asamblea.
Vanilla nonfat yogurt with a mixed berry sauce. $1.65
Costco, South San Francisco CA
This always hits the spot when I’m craving a cold, sweet treat. I’ve noticed that the yogurt melts really quickly though, so you have to scarf it down quickly!
