| - I saw the ice blue drinks and I wanted to come and check it out! Not exactly what I expected...
We had the following:
1. Blue Pegasus (not on their menu):
This was the ice blue drink that I kept seeing pop up on instagram. In brief, it's a blue tea with a lime and sugar water concoction at the bottom. I asked if they could do no sugar, so instead of the sugar water, they just used a lime-lemon substitute. It was definitely pretty, but I'm not sure if it's because I opted for no sugar, but it was TOO sour. My face puckered up immediately and I could only have a few sips. I couldn't really taste the tea itself because it was so tart - maybe I'll come back and try the original.
2. Raspberry White Hot Chocolate:
Another instagram-famous photo, which prompted me to come. It was again, very pretty to look at, but instead of too sour, it was too sweet this time. The raspberry was a bit overwhelming so the chocolate taste was barely there - disappointment.
3. Smoked Salmon Sandwich:
I liked that they had different bread choices, so I chose the rye. They also have different cream cheese options too. I was surprised by the amount of smoked salmon - I was expecting a little bit more for $8.99. It was average.
4. Grilled Cheese:
My friend chose white bread and the sizes of both our sandwiches were the same - but it was the same thing - expected a bit more cheese in the middle. Again, it was average.
Overall, the staff was super nice and knowledgeable, but the tastebud experience was just about average. I would definitely have to come back and try their coffee and maybe their infamous quinoa salad. With that said, I would still say go check them out and have your own opinion about it because they are definitely photo-worthy!
