BAD Roll the Spice Pumpkin Spice Granola: Standing for Bad and Delicious, BAD aims to rid the world of artificial snacks "masquerading as health" with a combination of grain-less ingredients like sprouted nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, and hazelnuts), shredded coconut, and ginger spice. Despite the lack of grains, I still found myself eating it largely in place of regular granola (in yogurt, milk).

Cheeseboard Asiago Roll: While I find the pizzeria next door to be overrated, I've generally had great experiences at the Cheeseboard cheese shop and bakery. The asiago roll, covered in sesame seeds, demands to be eaten fresh out of the oven, when tearing the crust reveals a warm and soft wondrously scented interior, smelling strongly of yeast, cheese, and onion. The onion is caramelized, and combined with the crunchy bits of toasted cheese on the outside, the bread is the ideal savory snack. 4.5/5.0

Cheeseboard Cheese Roll: This is a quintessential offering at Cheeseboard, combining the two things the famed bakery is know for: cheese and bread. The roll has a tangy, sharp flavor both from the melted crispy gruyere and from its sourdough base. Slightly crusty but soft and fluffy inside, it’s delicious in its simplicity. 3.5/5.0

I Mei egg roll: Box contains four individual packs of 3 egg rolls each. The Taiwanese snack is very lightly sweetened but definitely buttery, with a good amount of saturated fat. Black sesame seeds add flavor throughout. Texture is crumbly and generally satisfying. 3.0/5.0

I Mei Pudding Choco Roll: Individually wrapped chocolate covered wafer crisp filled with a soft pudding-flavored interior. Similar in some ways to a Twix without caramel and with a much flakier cookie element. Sweetness is spot on, with just 6g of sugar per piece. Pudding is pronounced but not overwhelming, filling melts in your mouth. An excellent sweet treat at a very reasonable price. Purchased from H Mart. 4.0/5.0

I-Mei almond choco wafer roll: Despite its name, these are flat wafers, rolled similarly to a flat crepe. The snacks come individually wrapped. Wafer exterior is thin and flaky, while chocolate interior is not overly sweet with a sprinkle of chopped almonds. Texture of the almonds doesn't quite carry through because of the crispness of the wafer. Overall, a pretty good snack. 3.5/5.0
