I decided to hit Crystals today to see how it's halls were decked for Christmas. After the short look, I made my way to Pods for my first visit. I only wanted a drink and something sweet. I got a large pomegranate iced tea and a dark chocolate chip cookie.
The iced tea was very good. The pomegranate syrup was not sweetened so the drink wasn't a sweet tea mess. It had a lovely taste with the pomegranate giving the tea a bit of a tart flavor. The dark chocolate chip cookie was superb! It had a very rich chocolate flavor, a flavor that avoided sweetness and let the rich chocolate shine through.
Total cost was just under $8, a bit much for iced tea and a cookie (even though the cookie was a good size.) I enjoyed sitting on a tall stool at a table watching the few people go by.
The Pods is a nice enough place. There's just no reason to return often. It's not like it's Jean Philippe after all.
