Fall back in with the seasonal drinks...

The holiday season is here...every Fall I look forward to my favorite pumpkin spiced latte at the local Starbucks outlet. Starbucks goes through a phenomenal change from fall to winter...the interiors look fabulous

Tryst with tea continues...Intelligentsia - Venice Coffee and Tea Bar

Located in Venice, Los Angeles  on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, the Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea bar is supposed to be LA's crown jewel of the coffeebar. 

Appearances can be deceptive...we were disappointed with our experience. Unfriendly barista and their attitude spoke volumes of arrogance.
Unfortunately, my tryst with tea and Intelligentsia was nothing less than disappointing.
