MEG’S PICKS THIS WEEK
Megan’s top picks

• Recently we visited Burlington, and I came across this cute coffee shop called The Daily Grind! They have a drive-thru window and homemade syrups. I tried their iced matcha latte with strawberry cold foam and it was sooo good!!

• Our local favorite coffee shop that we go to all the time is Little Native in Downtown Raleigh. I love the aesthetic of the place, and their homemade syrups are always so delicious in a latte. They usually have a buttery one like pumpkin butter, gingerbread butter, etc. and currently their butter flavor is Dutch Cookie Butter.

MATT’S PICKS THIS WEEK
Matt’s top picks

• If you didn’t know yet, we love coffee. We love a good coffee shop that has house made syrups, delicious coffee beans and great baristas. We recently went to Black and White with some friends this past weekend, and B&W checks all the boxes for us every time. We also buy their beans to make our own lattes at home with our Breville (which I would highly recommend if you are looking to get into making your own lattes!).

• Doordash is frequently used in our household (more than it should…) and we recently grabbed Budacai which is one of our go-to places! Meg always gets the Beef Pho, and I always get the beef and rice. Both are delicious and if you want to know more about them, we posted a reel last year that makes my mouth still water watching it.
