Vanilla Bean Coolatta? I think yes!

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: February 5, 2012

I went to Dunkin Donuts today to get my usual croissant, egg and cheese, when I ordered a Vanilla Bean Coolatta. At first, I was apprehensive, bc I don’t drink these type of slushy drinks unless they are fruity, and figured if this had too much milk in it, it may alter the texture a bit too much.

Low Budget Gourmet: Boston Cream Pie Coffee? Home Goods Raid..Sorta

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: January 6, 2012

Today a friend and I went to Home Goods, which is a store that offers gourmet food/coffee, furniture, and bath goods for discount prices.  Think Marshall’s, Ross or TJ Maxx, but without the clothes. I love this place, because it’s easy to access quaint adorable tea pots, funky, vintage “distressed” mirrors and desks, and features the best flavored coffees available- [...]

Almond Joy Flavored COFFEE (not just creamer) vs Almond Joy CREAMER

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: November 27, 2011

I was at Home Goods (I love that place) and was shopping when I scoped out a bag of Almond Joy Flavored Coffee (the brand is Grande Kaffe Collection). The coffee smells rich of coconut and chocolate, and upon sipping its smooth flavor, I tasted  well balanced undertones of chocolate, coconut AND almond (which was a complaint of [...]

Quick post. So coffee Mate has released a few new seasonal creamer flavors. One being “Warm Cinnamon Sugar Cookie ” and “Brown Sugar Maple Latte”, and as of now, as I’m sipping on a cup of coffee chock full of ”Warm Cinnamon Sugar Cookie ” goodness, I’m disappointed. Why? The cinnamon flavor overrides what I expected to be a smooth, velvety, [...]

Three Earl Grey Teas and Cream.

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: July 29, 2011

Lately, I have been drinking more tea. I tend to notice an affinity to drink coffee in the colder months, and teas in the hotter months. I have also been leaning towards more teas because of their wonderful health benefits. I have challenged myself to drink a cup of green tea, and black tea per day to increase my body’s immunity, fighting free radicals, and indulging in something that can stimulate me without the aftertaste of coffee. I love the variety teas offer and have been more creative in selecting unusual flavors and twists on classics.

Everyone who knows me knows how much I love and often crave Panera’s Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich. Here’s why. It’s light and refreshing, healthy, full of both sweet and savory flavors, and it’s rather exotic in nature. First, let’s analyze this sandwich from inside out. Sun dried tomato and basil bread, with a sweet undertone around the [...]

Coffee Mate’s White Chocolate Caramel Creamer (Review)

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 26, 2011

Not overly rich, nor too thick (unlike International Delight’s Breve Cream in my opinion) I get a pretty even taste of caramel, but a slightly less white chocolate undertone. I had thought that the white chocolate would overpower the subtle buttery caramel, however one taste’s the opposite.

Random Post: Saxby’s Strawberry Turnover.

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 11, 2011

It was like eating warm strawberry jam that tasted too soggy to be yummy. Maybe next time, Saxby’s. Just kidding, hahaha. Once I dislike something, it’s hard to give it another go. Manifestations of trust issues,perhaps?

International Delights Cinnabon Coffee Creamer Review

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 11, 2011

Although I liked their replication of the bun, I wouldn’t buy it again, because the inclusion of a cream cheese undertone in my coffee is just plain weird. I even considered that it would be when I was considering purchasing it, but I figured the cream cheese icing flavor would be obsolete.
