A Necessary Stop | Hilton Head Social Bakery
Hilton Head Social Bakery’s pastries have to be the best on the island. They are all Parisian inspired and presented with all of the meticulous attention to detail you would expect to see on a magazine cover.

A Magnificent Metro Brunch | The Daily
If there is a well put consonance to describe this place, it would be family friendly funk. Vintage and colorful but with a collective, welcoming style. And as far as a funky, unique hodge-lodge goes, the menu certainly matched…

Pep-up Pit Stop | Seeds Coffee in Birmingham, AL
We’ve seen a shack. We’ve seen a garage. We’ve seen an antiquated clothing store and a 1920s corner bakery. What we had never seen made into a sanctuary for coffee connoisseurs? A gas station.

The Story of Our Coffee Adventures…
I (Ally) and my mom (DeAnna) have been drinking coffee together since our first day of homeschooling together in 2015. We are always stopping at coffee shops and making special trips to find local-style gyms so in 2022, we started leaving reviews for each shop that stood out! We’ve been on the road since the spring of 2022, gaining knowledge and trying plenty of new places.
