Friday afternoon Scott and I went on a mini-date to Essence bakery in Tempe. I’ve been wanting to go again to this place for awhile (the first time I walked out after being really confused about their coffee menu), so we decided to go there and try out their famous French macaroons.
First of all, the place was PACKED as it was lunch time and the place is pretty small to begin with, so we decided to find a seat outside and wait for our double shot americanos and try out our macroons.
Scott got their caramel one that everyone raves about, and I got mint chocolate chip.
Over all, the macaroons were very good. Mine was wayyyy more sweet then Scott’s, but equally as good.
I was really excited for our americanos because I heard that they use beans from Cartel Coffee Lab, but was sadden when I received my drink and it was filled about two inches from the top (who uses that much cream? I don’t even like cream) and when Scott went to ask them to put more water in it he saw that they use a at home espresso machine that is not meant for making more than one or two a day.
On a side note, I decided that for a week Scott and I should take outfit photos each day. Here is today’s:

Ok, time to have adventures in froth making!
