TropiCafé 🌴

You know I love a good local coffee shop, so when I heard TropiCafé was opening, I had to check it out. 😎

This cute botanical trailer is a unique coffee shop with a tropical inspired menu. The shining stars are their Signature Drinks. Each signature is based on a tropical flavor (pineapple, banana, guava - to name a few) topped with a delicious and decadent cold foam - move over Soft Top! The tropical flavors might seem like an unusual pairing with their caffeinated counterpart, but the combination really works.

My favorite is the Caramel Banana Latte, a banana cold brew with salted caramel cold foam. The cold foam is to-die-for. I’m drooling just typing about it. My husband’s favorite also happens to be the house favorite - the Guava Pie Latte, a Guava cold brew with cream cheese cold foam.

For the not-so-adventurous, they also serve up traditional coffee. Topo refreshers and a few sweet treats round out the menu. If you check them out, let me know what you think in the comments - and be sure to get a photo opp with the banana phone!

There's a New Tea in Town.

I'm a HUGE fan of tea. I've been digging Honest Tea lately (not too sweet, which I like), but today I discovered a NEW tea, Texas Tea. From what I was told, the makers of Texas Tea used to be the distributors of Sweet Leaf (hey! I like 'em already!) They have five flavors all featuring Texas ingredients: Honey Green Tea made with Goodflow honey, Peach Tea made with Fredicksburg peaches, Strawberry white tea made with Poteet, TX strawberries, Sweet Tea made with sugar from Sugar Land, and Mint Unsweetened Tea with mint from Dove, TX. All the teas are made with Texas spring water. I had the Fredricksburg Peach Tea and it was deeeelicious :) Definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for something different than Sweet Leaf.
