Muggswigz Coffee & Tea -- Canton, OH

By -

This past weekend Dave and I spent some time in downtown Canton before going out with friends. After a lovely dinner (review coming soon) we headed over to Muggswigz to enjoy some coffee and a pastry. 

The guy at the counter said I could take photos of everything except for the menu, because they work very hard to come up with new and interesting drinks and want to do their best to maintain their drink names, ingredients lists, etc. The menu board is large and on the wall behind the baristas, so I made sure to take photos which excluded the menu board.

When you first enter Muggswigz, you'll easily be able to see the serving counter in front of the large menu boards. Prices are listed for all of the drinks and the counter is lined with various pastries in glass containers, prices are listed for the pastries as well -- no surprises here! 


We decided on these berry bars which were recommended to us.



While waiting for our coffee to be made, I took some photos of other items and pastries on the counter which are available for purchase.







There is also a wide variety of coffee items available for purchase including coffee beans and syrups which Muggswigz uses. They also sell tee-shirts and coffee mugs with their logo, perfect for gifts! 




This beauty is the Baklava Latte including nut syrup, honey, clove, cafe latte, then topped with whipped cream. This was one of best cups of coffee that I've ever had, but I tend to err on the side of sweet coffee drinks. It captured all the best flavors of baklava in a cup, a very large cup at that, I would have been satisfied with just this for dessert rather than this plus the Berry Bar.






This was also the location of one of the First Friday Stops for January 1st. We were able to sip our coffee while watching Andrew Zamiagas work on his ice sculpture for the First Friday event. Friday was chilly, despite there being no snow, so we didn't envy the fact that Andrew was outside working with ice. 



The finished product turned out pretty impressive.




Aside from a wide variety of coffee drinks and pastries, Muggswigz also hosts local acts throughout the year. According to their current calendar of events they have an Open Mic Night on Tuesdays from 7:30-11:30 and various artists scheduled for Friday evenings from 7:00-10:00.

My rating for Muggswigz Coffee & Tea:

Today's Bride Wedding Show -- Cleveland, OH

By -

Right after engagement season (the period from Thanksgiving to New Year's) it's bridal show season. During the last nine months of my engagement I have not attended a single bridal show. Now suggestions for bridal show events are showing up all over my Facebook page. As a 2017 bride with most of her vendors already chosen, I wasn't inclined to check out any bridal shows during the next few months, but I was offered the opportunity to be the featured bride at my photographer's booth at the Today's Bride Bridal Show in Cleveland, which gave me the opportunity to interact with other Northeast Ohio couples, as well as explore the displays at the IX Center. This is a two day event, I was present just for the second day of the bridal show. The super cute stemless wine glass above was available for purchase with champagne, wine, or a cocktail. As you already know I'm obsessed with all things Ohio, so I needed one of the glasses. Once I was done at my photograph

Velvet Tango Room -- Cleveland, OH

V elvet Tango Room is in a nondescript hole-in-the wall located on the fringes of the Ohio City and Tremont neighborhoods of Cleveland. From the outside the facade of the Velvet Tango Room blends right into the dilapidated buildings that surround the venue. On Friday night, the street was quiet, the glow of downtown was behind us, but Columbus street was dark. Had we not been to the Velvet Tango Room before, the glow of the neon sign would have been the only thing to lead us to our destination. The Velvet Tango Room is not like other bars, there are numerous articles touting how exclusive and elusive entrance to the Velvet Tango Room can be. You see, there is no need to make reservations to sit in the front room; although the venue is a secret in and of itself, the secret backroom, which is accessible by key card entrance only, requires reservations in advance...sometimes weeks in advance. Some people have written that the backroom is for the socially elite -- despite the fact th

Afternoon Tea at Coquette Patisserie -- Cleveland, OH

Happy Mardi Gras! I wanted to get this post in before the end of February and it's fitting, because Coquette Patisserie has King Cake today.  On February 19th Dave and I attended Afternoon Tea at Coquette Patisserie -- this event required registration in advance and it sold out so if you see an Afternoon Tea pop up on Coquette Patisserie's Facebook page make sure to register yourself! Afternoon Tea is an event hosted semi-frequently at Coquette Patisserie -- a quick glance at their past Facebook events showed a December, January, and February tea. However, this is not a monthly event (yet), so if you'd like to attend one keep an eye out and then make sure to book a table. Afternoon Tea for February consisted of a prix fixe menu which included "a tea sandwich, quiche, French macaron, opera cake, cheesecake and fresh baked brioche with jam & compound butter, and a pot of tea or a french press of coffee." When we arrived we discovered tha
