Leaf Botanical Art

Basically you have to see it to believe it. This guy takes real leaves and makes art out of them. It sounds like something a 4 year old could do, but this guy is AMAZING!!!! It is truly a work of magnificent art what this man does. I don't own any of his work, but someday when I am rich I am buying it ALL!!!! That is how amazing it is! See for yourself: Leaf Botantical
He lives in Logan, UT so he's even a local artist. I saw his work at the Utah Arts Festival and just fell in love. Oh how I wish I was rich now!!

The Cocoa Bean - Cupcake Cafe -

The Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe is this adorable little shop with gourmet cupcakes. They are not only beautiful but they are absolutely delicious as well. They also serve hot chocolate and other non-caffeinated hot beverages and even some cold beverages. Each day they have different cupcakes to choose from. They have a weekly schedule that tells you which cupcakes are available on which days of the week. They are open late into the evening (11 on weeknights and midnight on weekends). They also cater for special events and make smaller sizes to order as well. There is even a location in Rexburg, Idaho (with slightly different hours). Anyway, I love this place. Ryan isn't a big cupcake fan, so I am always looking for girls to go with me to enjoy delicious cupcakes!

Molly's

Molly's is absolutely wonderful. You walk in and walk up to the counter and order. You pick what sides you want; you watch them put it all together. You pick out what type of bread you want. You pay and sit down. Sounds pretty normal, but the cafe is sooooo cute. The setup, the decorations, the design, everything, the workers - just cute. (But not so cute that only girls have to eat there.)
I ordered the daily special - it was a pulled pork and guacamole tostada. It was absolutely amazing!! Ryan had the braised beef with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I tasted a bit of his - also absolutely delicious!!!!!! The food was soooo amazing that Ryan got the beef brisket (slow roasted for 24 hours) and potatoes to go and I got the Carrot Cake to go. Yum yum yum. I cannot sing enough praises about this place.
The Lunch plate (what we ordered) was $8.75 and smaller orders are cheaper. Definitely enough food to fill you up. Ryan mentioned that the beef brisket was an incredible portion compared to other places where he's ordered such a dish. And it was cheaper than other locations.
My only complaint is that they are only open for lunch from 11-2 Tuesday through Friday. I wish they were open more often so their amazing food could be more accessible. They only opened earlier this year, so maybe extended hours are to come as they become more established. However, I don't think it will be long before this place is well known. It was very crowded while we were there; they all ready seem to have a large customer base. But that's not surprising at all with how good the food is.
In conclusion, Molly's is everything Mimi's Cafe tried to be but isn't.

Places Where I Do Business

Welcome to my new blog. I am starting this blog because I am going to write about places that I enjoy doing business - places I like to eat, stores I like to shop at, doctors I enjoy seeing (not that anyone actually enjoys seeing the doctor). A lot of the places I plan to write about are small, lesser known locations. I enjoy finding sights to see, places to go, things to eat, etc. So hopefully you will enjoy reading about the places I enjoy.
