B's Deli, Pumpkin Chai

B's deli open just recently in the Heartland building and it is great news!
So excited that Heartland Point building is finally open!!  I hated to see it empty for so long.  But now we have a great deli in the building.  It is a great place to snag a sandwich and/or drink.

I went in and grabbed a fall drink the other day.  I decided to try the Pumpkin Chai.  It was very good.  They use a chai mix that I really enjoy, so I was pleased.  The flavors were very good.

I have been in to B's several times- my favorite sandwich is a barbeque wrap that they have. It is the Pork Pushover, it has a pickles, Swiss cheese, coleslaw, a sweet chili sauce with oil and vinegar.  It also has jalapenos- but I always have them leave those off.  It is a great wrap!

You can tell I always get the same sandwich when the owner makes the comment, you must like that one, it's all you get.  hahahaha. It is my favorite!  And I love that they have gluten free wraps too.

I also had a BBQ Chicken salad that was very good too. 

Davids Tea, Chocolate Chili Chai Latte, with Oat-ly Milk

I made this great chocolate chili chai latte a few days last week.  It was so good.  The chili does not overtake, but you do get the hot notes lingering at the back of your tongue.  The chocolate notes give it more of a hot coco feel.  But, it does have black tea in it.

I steeped the tea for 5 minutes.  And while I did that I frothed Oat-ly oat milk and added a little vanilla syrup to the milk.  It was so delicious. 

Oat-ly is one of the best oat milks I have found for frothing.  It really holds up and whips up.  It also has a great taste on it's own.  I enjoy it.

Wake Up Coffee House, Wakeman, Dirty Apple Pie Chai

I discovered a new coffee place, or new for me...Wake Up Coffee House in Wakeman Oh.

21A W Main St, Wakeman, OH 44889

I was in Vermilion at Beulah Beach for the week and I was excited to grab a tea on the way out of town.

If you follow me, you know that Beulah Beach on Lake Erie is my happy place!!!  

They had some bar like seating that I thought was super cool with live edge table.

The place is super cute and clean inside.  There are a variety of places to sit.  It is very inviting and I liked the vibe.

The first thing I asked when I got there was if they used Oregon Chai- they said they did.  I am not a huge fan of Oregon Chai concentrate.  Since there were no other real tea options, I went with the Apple Pie Chai and made it dirty.

Dirty is a shot of espresso in the chai.  Filthy chai is two shots of espresso...but I find I loose the taste of chai if it is filthy.

I am giving this Dirty Apple Pie Chai three tea cups out of five.  The flavor was just okay.  I did not think that the apple pie taste was strong.  The chai was as expected.  The espresso was okay too.

The price was okay.  The shop was cute and clean.  The gal behind the counter was really friendly and patient with me as I made my decisions.

Citrus Sunrise Kombucha , Better Booch

I love kombucha. I made it for about 3 1/2 years, but got tired of taking care of the scoby and making the drink, so I took a break.  I do miss having it on tap anytime I want it.  I probably will make it again, but not this year.  

I am always looking for good Kombucha on sale when I am out grocery shopping. I found this at Meijer's the other day and it was on sale, so I decided to try it.

I liked the fact that it was only 45 calories, but I have to say I wonder why there is any sodium added to this kombucha.

I did find it to be one of my favorites.  The flavors were really great.  It is light and refreshing.  It has a zip to it.  It is really good. And I also like that there is none of those fake sugars in the drink.

This is a great kombucha.  And even better out of my Rudy Whistle mug!!!

Ohio Roasting Company, Pumpkin Chai

I am a big fan of Ohio Roasting Company in Canton.

https://www.ohioroasting.com/

                                                                4870 Frank Ave. NW.

                                                              North Canton Ohio 44720

This is just the second time I have tried a drink from Ohio Roasting Company, but both time they have hit the drinks out of the park.

They have a nice selection of drinks to select from.

This time I went for the Pumpkin Chai.  It was spicy and delicious.  I was super pleased with the pumpkin spice flavors.  It didn't feel artificial like some flavorings can taste.

If in Canton, I recommend Ohio Roasting Company.  They also have a nice sit down area inside and outside.

Great flavors, decent prices, and good service.  This Pumpkin Chai receives five tea cups from me. 

Blend of Grace - Blackberry London Fog and Pumpkin Chai at the Sunshine Flower Farm

I saw that this coffee/tea truck was going to be close so I decided to check it out.

I got the Blackberry London Fog and the Pumpkin Chai...as well as some macarons.

I have driven by the Sunshine Flower Farm between Orrville and Wooster on the outside of Apple Creek and I have been impressed with their flowers and the set up that they have.

353 South Apple Creek Road Apple Creek, OH 44606   (330) 481-6579

It's beautiful at the farm.  The weather was great and flowers were beautiful.  Flower gardens surround a pavilion and fire pits.  It is gorgeous.  

They also have a little shed shop that I adore. 

I checked out the shed building, because it is a lot like the one I want to add in my backyard.  I don't one that is as tall, but I liked the length of this one.  I could see my little tea house in something like this in my backyard.  I could hold my tea classes there very easily.

Here are the drink options for the flights.

This is a list of all the drinks they have.  

My friend and her mom are a huge fan of the smoothies...I believe it is the Bursting Berries one. She gets super excited when she talks about this drink, it cracks me up.

They have a nice set up with their trailer.

The first drink I tried was the Iced Blackberry London Fog.

I have to say I was not a big fan of the blend.  I love blackberries, but this wasn't cutting it for me.  I am not sure what exactly it was, but I found it just okay.

I did enjoy the Pumpkin Chai.  It was sweet and delicious.  I would get this one again.

The macarons were really yummy too.  I loved the pumpkin flavor they had.

I thought that teas were good.  The Blackberry London Fog fell a little flat for me, but I did really enjoy the Pumpkin Chai.  The ladies serving were very nice and friendly.  I did think it was a bit pricey, but I did enjoy the drinks.  I would come back for sure.

Check out the flower gardens too!!
