The Penny Ice Creamery Lemon Poppy Seed Ice Cream with Blackberry Compote: Waited in line for about 20 minutes to enter this small ice cream shop in downtown Santa Cruz. Entire clientele was student-aged. They make all their ice cream in house, and they had some interesting flavors like celery and raisin sorbet (which I sampled but found did not taste as much of celery as I would like). I got a mini scoop of their lemon poppy seed ice cream with fresh made blackberry compote, which cost a little more than $4. You can tell from the texture of the ice cream that ...

Tia Lupita Foods Cactus Salsa Verde Tortilla Chips: Made with cactus, these tortilla chips have an extra crispy and light texture that's quite addictive. The salsa verde flavor is punchy on its own, with acidic tomatillo and a bit of heat (no need for an extra jar of salsa). Excited to try some other flavors from this brand! 3.5/5.0

Tilamook Oregon Marionberry strained yogurt: This strained yogurt ("farmstyle Greek") is impressively thick and loaded with 13g of protein. As a result, it's a filling breakfast that can carry you through to lunch. Tillymook is an Oregon-based company, and while Marionberry may seem like a marketing gimmick to make blackberries appear more appealing, it does go along well with their Oregon story. The fruit filling is sweet but appropriately so; the mild yogurt is more creamy than tart. 3.5/5.0
