Annie's lemon drop cookie bites: Crumbly, shortbread-like lemon cookies that have a very good tangy citrus flavor. Amount of lemon is just right. One of the better lemon cookies I've had in recent memory. 4.0/5.0

High Rise Bakery ginger oatmeal cookie: Great moist cookie with bits of candied ginger throughout. Lightly piiced flavor, perhaps with cinnamon and / or molasses. Not too sweet. 3.5/5.0

Boba Guys lavender black milk tea with grass jelly: This distinct beverage had a clean lavender flavor without tasting too floral, or like soap as poorly balanced lavender-flavored things tend to. Though I ordered the drink with 50% sweetness, I found it to be on the sweet side. (I think they might sweeten the drinks more than the NYC location, as I've had the opposite impression there.) The flavor and texture of the homemade grass jelly was excellent, but it was difficult to suck up through a normal boba straw. 3.5/5.0

G.L. Alfieri strawberry almond milk: I'm a fan of almond milk and had never had a strawberry-flavored one before, so this sample-sized bottle from G.L. Alfieri in the Ferry Building peaked my interest. Despite the questionable pepto-pink color, the drink was unexpectedly light, with a clean creamy strawberry flavor and slight nutty finish. The sweetness was just enough to trigger strawberry milk nostalgia while still feeling like a responsible, healthy adult. 4.0/5.0

Clover black cherry Greek yogurt: This Greek yogurt had a more distinct flavor than the peach one I previously reviewed. The texture was about the same: thicker than non-Greek yogurt, but not as thick as Fage. Purchased from Safeway. 3.0/5.0

Berkeley Bowl wasabi snack mix: An incredible value, at a little over $4 for 1 lb, this bulk rice cracker mix has all of the classics: unforgivably spicy wasabi peas, varied shaped (stars, squares, and more) crunchy glazed rice crackers, and nori-covered pieces. I do wish there was a sweet cracker thrown into the mix, but really, there is little to find fault with. 4.0/5.0
