N7 Draft Tea + Coffee - San Jose, CA

 

Anyone know what nitrogen infused tea tastes like? According to google it makes your drinks creamier without the calories 😱 N7 specializes in nitrogen infused drinks!

Watermelon freeze: jasmine green tea mixed with crushed fresh watermelon. It had a BEAUTIFUL floral taste from the green tea and the watermelon provided a refreshing sweetness. 50% sugar is perfect! This was so good 😋

Mango freeze: mango purée blended with house crema. This tasted like mango lassi and I love mango lassi so I was a fan 👌🏻 Super creamy, perfect with 30-50% sweetness, and a great caffeine free option! 🤩

Din Tai Fung - San Jose, CA

 

Aren’t xlbs so cute (and yummy) 😆 I can always tell if a bao is from Din Tai Fung because these folds are so uniquely dtf!

I’ve been getting their takeout lately and my faves are the pork chop fried rice (MUST GET), xlbs, and beef noodle soup (sub with glass noodles 😋)! Also love their online platform to make reservations and place pickup orders!

Poke House - San Jose, CA

 

Aren’t poke bowls so pretty? 🌈 Pictured here are the house salmon bowl and a custom bowl w tuna and salmon from Poke House! I like mine drenched in sauce (sriracha aioli + ponzu are my favorites and they go so well with salmon (my favorite protein))! 🤤

Modo Donuts Hawaii Popup - San Jose, CA

Aren’t these donuts so ✨voluminous✨ ? Mochi donuts are sooo good I can eat them without being sick of them — not too sweet! Flavors here are strawberry 🌸, hojicha (fave), and honeydew sugar 🤤

This was a pop-up but Modo will have a more permanent location opening in Santa Clara!

 

Maggianos - San Jose, CA

 

I’ve literally gotten the same thing from Maggianos Little Italy on Santana Row ever since I discovered it while growing up in the area — lobster carbonara, which has a LIFE CHANGING truffle cream sauce!!! 🤩The boyfriend wanted something special so we got these pastas as takeout 😊 Spaghetti and meatballs tasted just ok, the lobster carbonara is where it's at!
