Hello from Massachusetts! I am near the south shore eating and running with Carrots N Cake. I got here on Thursday and decided to do a shake out run first thing Friday morning. I love running in new places!
After my run I raided Tina’s kitchen and made a delicious breakfast. A little bit of everything!
We went for a long walk at a cute park on the water. It’s still chilly, but the snow is melting.
After the park we hit up Whole Foods for some hot bar action.
Murphy didn’t get any…
Should I Open an Iced Coffee Café?
Now the reason why I want to either move to Massachusetts (in the summer only) and/or start a new life as a franchisee….
I am obsessed with Marylou’s iced coffee. Sadly, it’s only available in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Boo.
Marylou’s claims to be the BEST coffee in town.
It really is. I don’t know how they make this magical iced coffee, but it’s amazing. Seriously. I am thinking about opening in up a Marylou’s franchise in SoCal. Mostly so I can drink it all the time.
I have already gotten Marylou’s Iced Coffee twice and want to hit it up for another round! I don’t know what it is, but their coffee is so smooth and flavorful. It doesn’t take a ton of sugar and cream (just a little) to make it taste super dreamy.
Last night we did a fun night in with wine, chips, guac and dinner.
Dessert was super necessary since we were carbloading for a 20 miler! More on that in a bit!!
I’m now dreaming of iced coffee. A trip to Cielito it is then!
Ooh! I’m going to Rhode Island this week! I will check it out and be a judge on that… 🙂
I definitely think you should open a coffee shop! I was a barista all through college, and it was the funnest job! I would love to own a coffee shop one day 🙂
I’ll trade you Blue Coffee Company for one Mary Lou’s franchise. I have been dreaming of their Kyoto since I was in the Bay Area!
you can buy the beans ! Not sure if all locations but the braintree one on Cleveland ave def does!
I wish that a marylous would open in Pittsburgh! It looks so delicious…but then again I would probably want it every day and would eventually go broke. Probably a blessing in disguise if it doesn’t come to PA!
Sadly, I’ve never been to Boston. Been all around the state of Mass but never made it there. I won’t be running 20 miles but I will be going on a 6 mile hike tomorrow with some descent elevation gain. I’m super stoked to breathe some of that mountain air. Have a great run!
YAASSSSS MARYLOU’S!! I live here and I still get that excited about it. What flavor did you get?? I love Almond Joy. I’ll get girl scout cookie if I want to be in a sugar coma after (worth it). You should definitely open a franchise in Cali!
OMG, I’m an LA native living in Rhode Island and have never heard of Marylou’s! Will definitely need to check it out soon!
I love MaryLou’s! I went almost everyday when I was in Boston for a week. You should totally open a franchise in California.. I think it’s your calling
I have an even better idea,,,come to ND and open one here! 🙂
The weather finally warmed up here in Chicago, so I just spent 4 hours outside walking around and eating all the things. I tried out new lunch places and got 4 things for dessert at a well recommended bakery. I just couldnt decide!
I would say yes to opening up an iced coffee place, but let’s be honest, you would drink all of the profits 😉
Well you do love iced coffee, and they say if you do something you love you never work a day in your life!
I miss that iced coffee so much…
OH and if you happen to be near Salem MA, my cousin owns a restaurant there that is DELICIOUS. A&B Burgers, its in an old jail. Tell Tom Holland that Mary sent you!
That coffee menu looks incredible enough to plan a trip to Massachusetts. It reminds me of my favorite spot on the Ocean City, New Jersey boardwalk, where you can get iced lattes in basically every flavor under the sun!
Ohhhhh you are making me miss Boston/Massachusetts/Home SO MUCH! Except for the cold, I hate cold.
PLEASE open a MaryLou’s franchise!!! I mean, I’m glad Dunkin is over in LA now…. but MaryLou’s? oh man.
This weekend I ammm…. working. today, at least. Tomorrow I have the day off and I SHOULD run? buuut…. we’ll see. BUT the coolest thing I’ve done so far this weekend is sign up for a competitive team karaoke league!! Involves solos and team numbers, I am SO excited hahaha.
I didn’t even know that existed! Super cool 🙂
