Happy New Year!

Still in love with Luke Avenue Cookies!

Perfect combination - Cookie with Cap!

Choc Fudge Brownie + Choc dip + Choc ice cream + Choc beads

The Dough Collective - our newest fav shop.

Tom and Toms - Cap + Almond Croissant

Trip to the Blue Mountains - Make your own Hot Chocolate!

Favorite Aussie Coffee - Flat White!
Heard that Starbucks has recently included in their US menu. 

Since Campos was closed for the New Year, tried Luxe. Good one.

So, until next time -

Smile and wave boys, smile and wave!
