Anniversary Blend Tea Latte (P165)
Say heeeeey to my massive mug, hot drinks at the bistro only come in this size so you can imagine my surprise. I am a gigantic fan of CBTL’s tea lattes and the Anniversary Blend is now part of that group. I loooooved the fruity taste of this blend and it is a good change to my usual chocolate-tasting Moroccan Mint Tea Latte. I hope they keep this in their menu and not let it be a seasonal drink.

Blueberry and Pistachio Pancakes
It’s hard to find the words to describe how much I enjoyed this stack of pancakes but I will try. The fluffy pancakes had canned blueberries but despite that, it still tasted deliciously awesome with the roasted pistachios. The pancakes were full of flavor already that I didn’t even use maple syrup.

Herb Crusted Salmon with Lemon Rissotto and Hollandaise Sauce (P495)
This dish is freaking divine. I would gladly take all the calories that come with risotto. The crust of the salmon was an explosion of flavors and texture and this is just the salmon; it hasn’t been devoured with the risotto yet. Grab a spoonful of the salmon and risotto together and it’s a party in your mouth. The salt and peppery taste of the salmon is the perfect partner for the savory and saucy risotto. It’s rather pricey for café food but by God it is scrumptious.

My photos and words don’t do justice to the CBTL 26th Street Bistro experience. This bistro deserves a better blog post from me and mark my words, I will be back!
