Nice little breakfast spot in the Heights. The sausage and cheese Kolaches are good and everything else is pretty tasty too, but I would ask them to warm it up well, they don’t taste good cold. The cinnamon rolls are so so good!
Define Baby
More fun than an actual good workout, but it was a nice activity to do with my little one. He doesn’t get out much so it was nice to bring him out and have this alone time with him. At 11 months he was the oldest baby there, mostly newborns, but it was ok that he was crawling around and getting into things. Everybody is very tolerant of children, obviously. Cool, fun.
HEB New in the Heights!
I loved it! Awesome new HEB! I actually came to visit because an officemate mentioned the poke at HEB. Once I got there I was thinking, oh, it’s the supermarket sushi eeks! But, I went ahead and got it, and I was surprised at how good it was. I mean I had very low expectations, but it tasted great! Avocado, seared tuna, fresh, good texture, and the sauce (original) was perfect! Yum, very good. It was $10 after in store coupon, provided by HEB. Great experience.
Cookies from Tiff’s Treats!
in their new location in the Heights on 11th and Yale! Nom nom nom... this place is awesome because their cookies are good, they warm them up and do their specialty thing, deliver to that special person! Great idea and perfect for my referral business!
Blue Popeye
Mmm...the Blue Popeye (Almond Butter, Blueberries, Coconut Milk, Vanilla Protein, Vanilla Extract, Spinach) from Fuel, best when I’m on the go go go!
Spice Market in Airline
Wow this place has some really cool, authentic spices! Go prepared for strong odors, it’ll knock you off your feet. I think I spent less than a few minutes in this place and I walked out smelling like spices. But really cool place for spices.
El Bolilla Bakery on Airline
Wow, this place was impressive! I mean every square inch of wall space was taken by these cases of baked goods. To say I was overwhelmed was an understatement! I realized the popular 85C Bakery had a similar self-serve style where you pick up a large tray and tongs and have at it! I did not know where to start, to be honest. There were barely any labels and I had no idea what all the items were. I had to look at what people were getting and I did recognize a few things like the churros, chocolate chewy cookie, coconut macaron, which I bought along with several other things.
So I loved the authenticity of this place, mostly Latin customers, but I’ll be honest, I wasn’t that impressed with the pastries. I only took a few bites of most of what I bought and will say, I have had much tastier experiences. However, no horrible experiences, it was all decent, just have had better. Anyway, that’s all I have to say about that...oh wait, one more thing...it was super inexpensive. All of what I got, which were 2 bag fulls cost me $8. Not a bad bakery for decent pastries. The wedding cookies were good.
