L'Albero dei gelati blackberry and peach gelato: Refreshing fruit-flavored gelato served from a small storefront facing the street (no indoor seating). The seeds throughout the blackberry gelato added good texture, but I preferred the peach flavor overall for its light sweetness. Texture was not the smoothest, but certainly not bad. 3.5/5.0

Bruce Cost blood orange and Meyer lemon ginger ale: I'm a fan of the regular Bruce Cost ginger ale, so I was happy to find a limited edition citrus version. Despite shaking the bottle beforehand, I found the flavor to be weak on the top but much more potent on the bottom. The citrus flavor was nonetheless refreshing, and the ginger left a pleasant tingly feeling in my throat. That's when you know it's good. 3.5/5.0

Bamboo Lane crunchy rice rollers: A very simple dessert containing crispy rice and sugar, this snack comes in a large, cylindrical form, making them slightly awkward to eat. Nonetheless, it's a satisfying healthy snack with a very light level of sweetness. Like most rice snacks, though, it's not the most filling. 3.5/5.0

Ocean's Halo Korean BBQ seaweed chips: The first thing I noticed upon opening this package was its scent, which is eerily similar to fish food. Scent aside, the taste is almost exactly as you would expect fish food to taste. Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing; these words are coming from someone who grew up eating various seafood snacks liked dried squid and eel which might make western palates squeamish. But the flavor is not bad-the purple chips are crunchy and thin, and the Korean bbq comes through with a familiar sweet a... (read more) 3.5/5.0

Maine Root spicy ginger brew: Stronger than your typical ginger beer. A good amount of sugar (40g per bottle) but the sweetness balances the gingery sharpness. Carbonation level is light. A solid drink that's conveniently accessible. 3.5/5.0

Yes Chips shrimp dressed in garlic: To be honest, the main reason I bought this snack was the ridiculousness of a shrimp wearing a head of garlic. Packaging aside, the chips themselves have a styrofoam-like texture, not unlike airy shrimp chips that were given to non-Asian diners in Chinese restaurants in the 90s. Still, the seafood flavor is actually quite good, and the garlic doesn't leave a strong aftertaste. The chips melt in your mouth (from all of the saturated fat, I'm sure). 3.5/5.0
