Love Starbucks, Hate Their Coffee. Saved by Teavania!

July 23, 2014 by Suzie the Foodie 7 Comments

After countless trips to Starbucks during our many, MANY home showings I have come to the sad realization, I just do not like their coffee.

With it being hot I tried a […]

The Artisan Soda Workshop let me down with their homemade Fresca and failed to wow me with their apricot soda. As a result I was a little nervous about making their coffee soda float but it just sounded too damn cool not to make. Also in this post is a review for ThinkGeek’s U-Fizz Drink Carbonation Kit […]
