Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company is an artisanal cheese company located in Point Reyes Station in Marin County, California with dairy farmland located in the Point Reyes area.
For group hangouts or celebrations, check out @frontporch.monroe! It’s a large covered outdoor space next to @themonroeorlando restaurant serving cocktails, beer, wine, and food.
We went right as they opened for a drink before heading next door for dinner. We would definitely go back!

My first time to @seitobp (if you can believe it)! 🍣 🥟
What we ordered:
✨ @sotosake Junmai on happy hour (tues-fri 5-7pm)
✨ Tuna Crispy Rice - Always a favorite combo but it wasn’t the best crispy rice I’ve had.
✨ Szechuan Beef Dumplings - Great flavors and not too spicy.
✨ Roasted Bone Marrow - We really liked the sweetness component of this dish. The bone marrow itself was a generous portion.
✨ Duck Bao - Large portion and very tasty. I’d definitely reorder this!
✨ Spider Roll (not pictured) - We enjoyed this, however I would order another roll next time. It’s a great menu and was difficult to choose!
Overall, everything was very good but I never had that instant “wow” moment, if you know what I mean. I would definitely go back to try more because I liked the menu a lot and the atmosphere at @seitobp & @theospreyorlando is always lovely.
What’s your go-to order at Seito?

Brunch with the ladies @chromalakenona 🍳🥂
When I asked my friends and followers for the best brunch spot in Lake Nona, the majority said Chroma! Here’s what we ordered & what we thought:
🥮 Giant cinnamon roll - An indulgent start but so yummy! The middle was dough-y and dense so it was rich and filling. I’d order it again but only if I was going with a group. It really is giant!
🍗 🧇 Hot Chicken and Waffles - I thought these were great. You can get the spicy sauce on the side like we did. It’s delicious with or without it!
🍳 Caprese Scramble - This was okay but could’ve been a lot better. We found the oregano to be pretty potent.
🦀 My friend got the crab cake Benedict that our server recommended and loved it! Can’t go wrong with this combo IMO.
Next time, I want to try the cocktails, wild blueberry 🫐 pancakes and smoked salmon board 🥯.
Overall, it was a solid brunch spot and I’d happily go again. I will say that the prices are on the higher end for brunch and the portions are on the small side. Any classic breakfast sides, like potatoes, aren’t included with any of the dishes but rather sold separately. Personally, it was plenty for me but I can see how people would want to order more plates.
Have you been to @chromalakenona? If so, what are your favorite dish(es) for brunch or dinner?

5 reasons you should go to @freehandgoods in College Park ⬇️
✨ Their candles selection is sooo good! I’m picky and they had some great scents.
✨ A birthday gift, housewarming gift, congratulatory gift, or a gift to treat yourself - there’s something for everyone when you’re in a pinch
✨ It’s next door to @official_pizza_bruno 🍕 so the pro move is to grab a drink here while you’re waiting for your table
✨ They serve beer, wine, seltzers, and have nonalcoholic options too
✨ Enjoy your beverages at the indoor bar, indoor table seating or the outdoor picnic tables, weather-dependent
Bonus #6: Because it always feels good to #supportlocal ❤️

PIZZA BRUNO COLLEGE PARK 🍕🍝🔥💯
We’ve been long-time fans of @chefbrunofonseca & his original Curry Ford location, but this one is closer, a different style, and dare I say better? Tough call.
How’s it different? Instead of Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizzas, they serve crispy South Jersey style ‘za’s. Plus, they offer pastas! I love how they put a twist on some of their best-sellers we know and love, like the garlic knots, Ghost and KBAR pizzas.
What we ordered:
🤤 Fried Knots with “too much garlic”…no such thing in my book! I loved the crunch of outside with the soft and gooey-ness of the inside. A must try!
🍝 Spaghetti cacio e pepe - Super cheesy in the best way, and the perfect al dente
🍗 Calabrian buffalo wings - I’m not a huge buffalo fan usually, but these were very good! The fresh house ranch dipping sauce was dill-forward and fantastic.
🍕 Kook in the line up - South Jersey style that’s nice and crispy! I loved the freshness of the basil, sweetness of the pineapple (without being too much like you’d find on a Hawaiian pizza), and @nueskes bacon
🍦 Soft serve swirl of vanilla and mint chocolate with sprinkles hit the spot, cooled off my mouth, and was the perfect end to a fun date night ❤️
A few quick tips:
✨ Make a reservation in advance on @exploretock
✨ Plan ahead for parking. If you’re lucky, there’s a lot behind the plaza.
✨ Call or order takeout on their website instead of Uber Eats, which is more expensive!
We’ll definitely be back soon to try more!

First impressions of @ottoshighdive - your new neighborhood rum bar🍹
What we ordered:
✨ Guava Pastelito cocktail - Delicious and comes in a cute flamingo cup! 🦩 Would reorder
✨ Crab salad - The highlight of the meal - 10/10 recommend! Great portion
✨ Hearts of Palm (not pictured) - This was a delicious, fresh salad. Would definitely reorder
✨ Rollo de queso - This was much sweeter than we expected but very yummy
✨ Pan Con Timba - I loved the guava jam but wouldn’t reorder unless maybe I was with a larger group. So much bread! 😆
Additional thoughts:
✨ Think of it more as a bar with food than a restaurant
✨ Happy hour M-F 5-7pm
✨ Their frozen cocktails will be incredible for summer time
✨ The prices are high, however for the portions we received, it was worth it. I might not feel the same about the rice & beans dishes though…
✨ Beautiful space and design
✨ Loved the vibe
✨ Good service
✨ Definitely make a reservation or go when they first open
✨ Allow extra time for parking. They share the same lot as Sideward Brewing and Stasio’s.
