Ok. Let’s see how I can start this. I’m speechless. This place is far, far beyond what I expected it to be. I moved away from Brownsville about 4 years ago and coming back every so often I don’t get to check many new things out in town since I’m usually here to spend time with family and friends. One night a buddy and I had dinner but wanted to continue our convo and asked him if there were any coffee shops around town that was still open at the time that had at best, decent coffee. He pondered for a moment and 5 minutes later we ended up coming here. Now, every time I visit Brownsville I’ll make it a ritual to visit angelitas every time. The coffee was damn near perfect. 10/10 The pastries/desert options were fantastic. 10/10 The environment was nothing like I remember Brownsville being like when I left. So laid back? Great lighting, not too bright not too dark. Live music to bring the place alive and to enjoy some entertainment while sipping on your cup of happiness. To the owners, the workers, and the entire business. Keep up what you’re doing, you’re definitely representing Brownsville in the best way by giving people a great spot to enjoy without having to go out on the weekend and partying. Thank you!

Dodici Pizza + Wine – Menu with Prices – 1200 E Adams St, Brownsville

An amazing place in downtown Brownsville. Fantastic food – their pizzas are traditional and are true Sicilian style. I can’t say enough about the food, people and atmosphere. I have so many positive things to say about this place it’s difficult to cram into a succinct review. Just trust me. This place isn’t just good compared to Valley restaurants – it’s comparable to food found anywhere in great restaurants in Texas. You will be treated well and enjoy your meal. Oh, and I’ve completely neglected their fantastic selection of wines that are reasonably priced and not so easy to find in South Texas. This place is making downtown Brownsville feel alive again – and I applaud the leadership and vision it took to get it rolling as well as the management and staff that will seemingly keep it rolling for many years. Enjoy!!!

Harbor View Grill – Menu with Prices – 3730 Harbor Ridge Trail, Erie

Tucked away in this sleepy community is a golf course with an expanded restaurant sporting an expanded outdoor area for live music. During the summer season, this place comes alive, showcasing some of the areas finer musical acts. The expanded outdoor seating area, has brought in a greater audience to relax, enjoy the music and awesome sun sets. In the event you can make a venture this way, the food, music and service is great.

La Familia Bakery – Menu with Prices – 4622 Paredes Line Rd, Brownsville

La Familia I think is the best bakery in Brownsville, and I have tried several bakery’s around town from hole in the wall to a more established places. I continue to be satisfied with the all the baked goods offered by La Familia Bakery. Most of the items run from ¢15 – ¢25 a piece. La Familia has the one of the biggest selections in Brownsville. One stop here, and I guarantee you will keep coming back.

Dalay Cakes Things and More – Menu with Prices – 228 Paredes Line Rd, Brownsville

Best cake I have ever tasted!! We searched everywhere in Brownsville for the perfect cake for our wedding. And after checking out 6 of the most well known cake shops in Brownsville we check out Dalay Cakes. I was never a fan of a cake with fondant until i tried their cake. Of course they make their own fondant but this was like no other. Easy to cut, easy to bite into and melts in your mouth. And best of all, not too sweet or sugary. Our wedding cake was a hit with our guests. If you want the best cake in town for the same price if not cheaper than the others then this is the place! But, don’t take my word for it. Stop by for a sample and see for yourself. Enjoy!

music and spirits – Menu with Prices – 2215 Plank Rd, Fredericksburg

Here to see music. Its set up like a theatre and not a music venue. Made for a poor experience. There is the stage with live music which was most excellent. Then in prime real estate are folding chairs set up in rows perfect for quiet viewing and we’ll mannered zombie audience as the band plays. Hemming in the space with the chairs are church pews emphasizing the ‘be quite’ behavior of the crowd. Behind this set up are tables for dining from the food truck. Nice but bad placement. There is a food truck who will bring you your orders which is good. Any dancing or moving to the live music has to happen on the fringes or behind the people having dinner. Nothing about this set up let’s you enjoy a crowd, to dance, or to get close to some really good live music. Such a shame. such a waste. Then after the first set the house lights got turned on. Totally killed any good vibes

Blanchard’s Coffee Roasting Co. – Menu with Prices – 1903 Westwood Ave, Richmond

LOVE this roasting warehouse! Blanchard’s has quickly become my favorite brand of coffee since moving to RVA last summer. The variety in flavors and beans is really exceptional and such good quality. Normally, I pick up a bag at either Stella’s grocery or Whole Foods (although its about $2 more expensive at the latter so I’ll only get it there if I’m in a pinch) – but coming to the roasting warehouse just can’t be beat. If nothing else, the aroma alone of all the beans roasting is worth coming to this location for. They usually have some brewing on site that you can help yourself to for free. Really nice! Since this is the main “hub” for Blanchard’s, they have far more varieties than some of the vendors that sell this brand around town. I’ve tried the holiday flavor and the Dark as Dark. The Dark as Dark is my favorite, so rich in flavor and has a very smoky and smooth taste. I love that other local businesses around town sell Blanchard’s either by the cup or by the bag. Stella’s grocery actually grinds their espresso beans which is heavenly in a latte. All in all, just really love this brand. Their insta is filled with fun content about how to brew their coffee, events, and special releases. Can’t wait to try more varieties! If you’re a coffee lover, this place is for you!

Pitchforks & Corks – Menu with Prices – 660 S College Ave, Tempe

This is my second visit to Pitchfork and Corks and I enjoyed it as much as my first time. I love to visit when I have some extra time on my meter and looking for a quick, filling, and inexpensive bite. The place is modern in style, typically quiet and not crowded when I visit around brunch time allowing me to seat myself wherever suits me. It is the perfect environment to relax and enjoy your food. I always feel like I’m treating myself due to the elegant environment and tasty, well-crafted food that looks like it would cost more than it actually does! The portions are a decent size too! Craft salads are piled high and run about $6, sandwiches with a side potato salad around $5, and omelettes with a side salad around $4. They also have ready-to-go plates, pastries, and coffee options if you’re looking to run in and out. I highly recommend if you’re looking for craft food and an upscale atmosphere at an affordable price!

Club Sugarhill – Menu with Prices – 710 S Reynolds Rd, Toledo

I’m so happy that there is a spot for live jazz in Toledo again. Those of u from here remember Murphys n Rusty’s? This spot is coming darn close. Nice looking wrap around bar. So Thursdays is jazz night. From around 7-930ish. Alternate Thursdays have live band or jazz DJ. $10 cover on live band nights. The staff is friendly. $2 drink specials. Kitchen is open with good chicken wings. Menu seems to be work in progress so keep that in mind. They haven’t been open that long so room for improvement. Woman’s restroom is a disaster. First visit, 2 sinks n only 1 had a faucet. 2nd visit, why is there water all over the place?! Last visit backed up toilets n when I told staff, it was not addressed on my next bathroom stop. The MC stopped the music for 15 min because there were maybe 5 folks that got there before they charge a cover and they wanted us to go back to the door n pay once they decided to charge. If you get to the club before they charge a cover do you go back to pay later? If you are charging a cover then have someone at the door. Fridays n Saturdays have DJ and a younger crowd. Tuesdays is karaoke day. Wednesdays is line dance night. Happy hour 5-8 pm. They have a mechanical bull you can ride for $5 which the ladies seem to enjoy. Work in progress. Some bands better than others. See ya on Thursday.

International Dance Club Inc – Menu with Prices – 2422 Busch Ave, Colorado Springs

Great variety of dance music ! Great dance floor! Big place, friendly people. If you like to “couples” dance, or just to enjoy good live music and dance a few line dances, this is the place for you. The music is everything from Country and Western, Polka, Swing, ballroom and latin. People of all ages come and even bring their kids sometimes! You don’t have to be a great dancer, because there are dancers of all levels, from “never-ever” to accomplished ball room dancers. You don’t have to dress up, although extremely casual attire is not allowed. Many ladies look forward for the chance to dress up for their “date-night:” with their hubby, but there are those who just go for comfort with slacks and nice tops. There is a dance almost every Saturday night from 7-10pm, except for holidays. The theme and band can vary. There are free dance lessons too-check their website. The price is inexpensive-$10 for non-members. It is a non-profit, so this is the best deal in town!

Ampersand Guild – Menu with Prices – 382 Cherry St, Macon

Ampersand has a inviting artsy atmosphere and friendly folk abound inside. They have so many types of tea it would take two months to sample them all. The coffee is hot with a large variety of specialty coffee drinks. A functioning art guild space, it is filled with paintings, mixed media, sculpture and most of it is available for purchase. Art classes are available most of the week and live music often graces the stage. Creativity streams out of this place. Jump in and visit soon. Bring a friend…a sketchpad…or a book.

Bootstrap Coffee Roasters – Menu with Prices – 432 Wabasha St S, St Paul

I was in the area to visit someone who has a studio close by and who I told I would bring coffee to. So some google and yelp searching lead me to this and I recognized them from seeing their coffee at my co-op. Yay for this being THE BEST OPTION in the area (Holiday and Starbucks were the other options that came up)! And yay for it being good! The service here was friendly and kind and welcoming. Everyone said ‘Hi’ and meant it in a ‘thank you for coming’ way. The coffee was good quality and I enjoyed it. The pastries were good, surprisingly so. I took everything to go, but the atmosphere was nice and I liked the roasting action going on in the space. I am completely not familiar with this area, but it turns out my husband bikes through here frequently and had been telling me recently about this exact area he biked through being about ‘ready to take off’. I’ll say… This little corner seems like it was once great for some businesses many years ago and that it could be on the verge of it again. I would definitely come back here and suggest if you live or work close by, frequenting the place. NE Mpls could use a dose of Bootstrap (hint hint).

Polcari?s Coffee Menu with Prices 105 Salem St, Boston

I do not drink coffee (went in because my friend wanted to buy some fancy coffee beans to bring to her sister who used to live on Salem St.), but this is the coolest place I’ve been to in some time. It reminded me of the local mom and pop grocery that I used to go to as a child in my home town. There are tons of different varieties of coffee, jars and jars of loose, dried herbs and spices-anything you could possibly need, dried beans and lentils, and a section of Italian food staples, oils, and vinegars. The old scale and cash register are really neat. The two gentlemen behind the counter were helpful and friendly. Coming here is a wonderful experience (even if you don’t like coffee)!
