Local Finds

Recently, I’ve been enjoying finding and supporting local businesses that I thought it was fitting to write and showcase them on the blog! It’s important to support local businesses because they tend to leave a smaller carbon footprint on the planet plus it’s a very mindful thing to do!

Ciao Cow Creamery

I discovered this local creamery when they did a collaboration with my favorite succulent shop and since then I’ve been hooked! Their gelato is handcrafted, in small batches, from scratches with only fresh ingredient daily. And they incorporate only local California ingredients. I’ve tried their blueberry cheesecake, sweet corn and honey lavender gelato and it is, without a doubt, amazing. They also offer local delivery! (website / instagram)

Quesadilla Gorilla

Chris and I had been meaning to try this quesadilla place since we moved to town last year! We only recently got to try them when they were at a Sunday Farmers Market that had another local business I wanted to try! I’ve only tried their breakfast quesadillas but the chili verde is good, especially when paired with the cilantro salsa – call me obsessed! (website / instagram)

The Nitro Bike

Find the bike! I am obsessed with this little nitro cold brew coffee bike. As of right now, they only do pop-ups where they go to various farmers markets and they taste better than Starbucks. From the name itself, they offer nitro cold brew coffee and tea AND they serve it in eco-friendly cups with a matching eco-friendly straw. They also sell their mugs, which gives you a discount on your purchase when you bring the mug. I’m obsessed with their matcha green latte and their grapefruit tea lemonade! (website / instagram)

  1. I love that you’re sharing the different places around town! Mmmm, it is so cool that there is a gelato shop that sources from places nearby. Considering how we’re rich in agriculture, it makes sense. You save so much in transportation cost too. The quesadilla looks delicious! I know I am a sucker for it, especially with some good sauce on top. Ooooh!!! The menu items from Nitro Bike looks really neat. Pretty cool that they are eco-friendly with their containers too. Their oolong sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing all of these local finds!!! Have a great week, boo!

  2. That quesadilla looks AMAZING! It so cool that you can always find new things in your area. It just inspires me to branch out in try new things where I am.

  5. Great post! You’re completely right! Supporting local businesses is great for the environment. I really want to make more of an effort to shop from more local businesses in my area. I love gelato! Blueberry cheesecake sounds so yummy!

  9. I know I love discovering great local brands and shops. You may have seen in the video the great chest of drawers I got at a local shop here and it was pre-loved so a win win! And what I am noticing to is all the great branding and logos!

  10. That quesadilla looks incredible, and I was sold just reading the iced coffee description from The Nitro Bike. It’s too bad I don’t live closer to check these places out right now, but I definitely will if we’re in the area!

  12. Ughhh everything looks amazing here, Currently obsessing over how delicious the quesadillas look! The blueberry cheesecake, and lavender gelato both sound really unique and yummy. Would love to try the grapefruit tea lemonade! Thanks for sharing Eena <3

  16. Love this post! So many interesting things you can find locally. it’s good to support local businesses. it also makes a nice change if you get stuck in a rut of buying the same products from the supermarket each time you go xx

  17. YES! to supporting local businesses. I always do so as often as possible both to reduce my carbon footprint and also to stop the rich getting richer and to give the smaller guys a chance! That quesadilla looks amazing- I love Mexican food so it looks right up my street!

  19. Caio Cow Creamery honey lavender sounds heavenly. I love local finds. It is so fun trying all the different local food and dessert places in town.

  20. Yes to supporting small local businesses! You have some great ones near you. The gelato place sounds amazing and now I want to try honey lavender gelato! And I really love The Nitro Bike’s logo. It’s great that they are using eco-friendly cups and straws, and the drinks they offer sound great. This is really inspiring me to explore more places near me!

  22. I love little things like these! It’s always more exciting trying unique creations with soul than food from big brands that’s basically the same no matter where you eat it.

  30. That iced coconut oolong definitely sounds interesting! As does the sweetcorn gelato! That’s such an unusual flavour idea to me.

    I love local and one of my favourite things in my town is the number of people with “garden gate” stalls selling excess produce from their gardens and allotments (I’m especially fond of buying my eggs this way as well – truly free range with small happy flocks).
