Espresso Bar by Atomic, Auckland Airport (AKL)
I liked the look of this cookie, but it was way too sweet. That pink frosting and additional sugar was way too much sucrose. I liked the texture of the cookie though.
Latte. $4.90 NZD
Plums, powdered sugar. $8
Porcellino’s Craft Butcher, Memphis TN
Mmm, this Dutch baby was delicious! I loved its texture and the plums tasted great! It wasn’t too sweet so I thought it was perfect.
Latte. $3.50
12 oz $6
Barista Parlor, Nashville TN
I loved the multi-heart foam art on this latte. And the latte was really tasty too!
I came here to recharge after an extended happy hour, and found out that they give away their extra pastries right before they close. I was able to score a yummy almond croissant. My latte was pretty yummy too!
Peregrine Espresso, Washington DC
Great Falls Park, McLean VA.
Vanilla ice cream, whipped creme fraiche. $8
Le Diplomate, Washington DC
This dessert was delicious! But then I do love tarte tatins. This one was especially good and beautiful. I loved the large apple wedges and their magnificent color. The fruit still had a pleasant firmness to them which made them even better. Noms!
Cafe latte. $4.50
Orchids, US Botanic Garden Conservatory.
Blueberries and blackberries, buttermilk pudding, strawberry and mulberry sorbets, egg white vacherins. Tasting menu $95
Volt, Frederick MD
Yum, I really liked this dessert especially the berry sorbets. They had so much flavor and weren’t sugary sweet. I thought the little meringues were pretty cute and fun to eat too.
Espresso. Single $3
Shenandoah National Park, VA.
Small $3.50
Stumptown Coffee Roasters, Portland OR
Ugh, the service here was horrible. The workers seemed bored and lackadaisical. Puh-lease, go find another job that doesn’t involved customer service if you’re THAT bored!
Provided by Mighty-O donuts. $2
Analog Coffee, Seattle WA
Ugh, this donut was dry and gross and off-tasting. I later found out that it was vegan – no wonder. That just goes to show that some vegan food doesn’t come anywhere close to tasting as good as the original. The latte was ok, and the guys working the store were friendly enough. I hated that their wifi wasn’t working, lame…
Latte.
Classic waffle with blueberry jam, whipped cream and fresh blueberries. $8
Lt. Waffle, San Francisco CA
I actually ordered this with on a buckwheat waffle, but I guess they were SO busy with the two other people in the entire place that they couldn’t even get that right. I have no patience for incompetence.
Latte. $4.50
This dessert was really fun to eat! I loved the square, torched marshmallow filled with dark salted chocolate atop a crisp graham cracker. Mmm, so good and decadent! $4

Latte. $3.75
Krasinski torte. $6
20th Century Cafe, San Francisco CA
Wow, I don’t know how they make this cake or what’s really in it, but it’s SO frickin’ good! I loved all the delicate layers and I felt somehow fancy just eating it, lol! This dessert is definitely a winner in my book.

Each $3.50
Bouchon Bakery, Yountville CA
Mmm, I love macarons! Bouchon Bakery is very popular and the wait can be ridiculously long. So were these macarons worth it? Hmm, I’d say so. They were nice and soft and very flavorful without being overly sweet.
