Coffee & Reading the Morning Paper

Happy weekend! This week marked the release of the Wonka movie trailer, which we are thrilled about. Watch the trailer and read our thoughts about the main character, here.

This morning, we enjoyed ceremonial cacao in our matcha latte. We love this combo! Have you tried ceremonial cacao and ceremonial matcha, together or apart? Let us know.

We came back from the Middle East extremely inspired to cook and also to bake. Have you baked a cake lately? How about enjoyed a good chocolate bar? We saw a video this week with a guest who preached that chocolate helps to grow stem cells. Yes, you read that right. Why not order some chocolate for your stash from Bar & Cocoa?
