Ben and Jerry's Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Sorbet Review

It’s really hard not to like Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. After all, with cute flavor names, a socially conscious philosophy, and commitment to making really delicious desserts, it’s no wonder they’re one of America’s favorite ice cream purveyors.  Recently, Ben and Jerry’s announced that they are working on dairy-free ice cream flavors made with coconut and/or almondmilk. Unfortunately, this review is not covering those yet-to-be released creations. Instead, this […]

Hubbly Bubbly Falafel Shop Review

Ever since discovering the magic of falafels while exploring Annapolis this spring, I’ve been wanting to get another taste of the Middle Eastern delicacy. Luckily, I stumbled across Hubbly Bubbly, a College Park installation while going out for lunch with a friend recently, and the location proved to be the perfect meet-up point. What’s so cool about Hubbly Bubbly, is that this little restaurant serves up seriously good food that […]

Sus Hi Eatstation Review (Sushi Eatstation)

Although I’ve taste tested my way around many Asian cuisines here on the blog, I have not yet made it to the world of sushi, mostly for my dislike of raw fish and difficulty of finding safe places to give the cuisine a go.  Luckily, a previous engagement near UCF proved to be the perfect opportunity for me to try out Sus Hi Eatstation, a funky sushi place that serves up food […]

Gluten-free Friendly Restaurants at Universal Orlando CityWalk

CityWalk at Universal Orlando Resort is a hot spot for tourists and locals alike. The restaurants are aplenty and the people watching is hard to beat. My goal this summer is to explore more of them, as I am a Universal Orlando passholder, but in the mean time, I’ve assembled a guide to gluten-free eats in this entertainment mecca.  With the exception of a few restaurants that I’ve actually eaten […]

The Pop Parlour Review

If there’s anything I’ve learned as a Maryland resident, it’s that nothing compares to the sheer oppressiveness of the Florida heat. Coming back home for the summer, I’m slowly having to ease myself into the inferno-like heat of the day. Luckily, a good friend of mine suggested a reunion outing to a place where popsicles take center stage: The Pop Parlour.  Located in the heart of Downtown Orlando, the Pop […]

The Leaky Cauldron Review (Breakfast)

After my initial visit to Diagon Alley and success with finding gluten-free and dairy-free options at the Leaky Cauldron for lunch, I knew I had to go back once I discovered that the signature restaurant serves up breakfast- including gluten-free pancakes. As it happens, gluten-free pancakes are one of my favorite breakfast foods. However, I didn’t get my hopes up right away as I knew that dairy could easily spoil the […]

Bikes Beans and Bordeaux Cafe Review (B3 Cafe)

After a busy weekend theme park-ing with my dad and immersing myself in all things the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I was looking forward to a change of pace with my aunt coming down.  Both tired after a busy weekend and feeling uninspired by our barren fridge, I decided to propose lunch at a cafe near downtown Orlando that I’ve been wanting to do for a while: Bikes Beans […]

The Hopping Pot Review and Allergen Information

Part of the whole fun of Diagon alley is that the open marketplace is prime for people watching. Witches and wizards of all ages cast spells with their interactive wands and impressive costuming efforts blur the line between employees, wizards, and muggles in disguise.  After a busy morning of shopping, I wanted to take a quick rest stop at the Hopping Pot, an outdoor bar that features an array of […]

Allergen Information for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Diagon Alley's Specialty Beverages

Universal Orlando, in developing the richly layered and immersive Wizarding World of Harry Potter, won worldwide fame as they became the one and only destination (in the muggle world) where anyone and everyone can get butterbeer: the non-alcoholic butterscotch beverage made famous by J.K. Rowling in the Harry Potter book series.  As fans flock to the park in search of this magical drink, they often overlook other offerings found exclusively at Diagon […]
