I love it a Latte!

I tagged along with the mister on Saturday for a photoshoot for Gravel & Grind. It was for the shop's magazine feature. I do not know what publication though. I'll let you know when I do.

I loved coming along with him to this part of town for the antique shops and thrift stores. I was browsing at an antique mall when he called me to hurry up because my latte is getting cold. I ran back to the coffee shop, of course.

I had my latte outside the shop. The weather was perfect last weekend. While lounging in their bathtub-turned-loveseat, I asked the mister to take a photo of me, and told him that I'll take care of the perfect pose.

PAK! Just one take!

Kidding. Hahahaha!

P.S. Let me take you back to 2009. Listen to Yna and her bestfriend's Sammy's first song composition back when they were 14. It's "I Love You a Latte!"

Coffee and Maamoul

Okay. Moving on from the stripper heels hoopla.

The mister and I dropped by at the Gravel & Grind on Friday afternoon after a 4-mile hike at the Catoctin Mountain Park. I wanted something cold and a pastry called maamoul that I saw earlier in the week at a fellow Fredericktonian's instagram account, Berto . This one. I also wanted to try their The Johnny Cash -- Nutella, orange blossom water with cold espresso.

The mister wanted me to try their toast with cheese, tomatoes and basil leaves, but I chose maamoul. I have never heard of it, and I wanted to find out if there's filling in it. It looked like it does.

The Johnny Cash was something new. I loved it. I never knew that the taste and smell of orange is really good with coffee. Compare to the Horchado that the mister got that day, we loved The Johnny Cash more. The ma'amoul was really lovely too. It's filled with dates and at the bottom were pistachios.

There's more that I wanted to try in their coffee special menu like their Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Maple Chico, and maybe that toast that the mister kept insisting me to try. I'd like to have their Faux Not Pho again too. The mister brought me a cup one time I didn't come along with him to the coffee shop.
