Happy New Year! After all the lavish meals, desserts and celebrating in December, we thought we would look at a healthier alternative to help you start the new year off right! There is one place by the office that we frequent for breakfast, lunch, or just a snack – a little place called the Northside […]
Happy Holidays! For December we thought we would look back on some or our favorite places that we liked in 2022 just in case you missed them the first time around, so here they are, enjoy! COFFEE DRINKS Cortado For the Cortado, we liked Bird Rock Coffee Roasters. As a reminder, a Cortado consists of […]
This month our sweet tooth got the better of us and we decided to look at frozen treats, in particular gelato and ice cream. The ingredients are mostly the same for both – milk, cream, sugar and flavorings of some sort. But gelato uses more milk and less cream than ice-cream and usually doesn’t use […]
This month we thought a seasonal coffee drink would be appropriate for October, so we immediately zeroed in on finding the best Pumpkin Spice Latte in area. The Pumpkin Spice Latte was first perfected by Starbucks in 2003 and became an instant hit – and now it seems like pumpkin spice products are everywhere this […]
This month we sampled the most famous tropical tiki drink in the world, The Mai Tai, that originated at Trader Vic’s in Oakland, California in the 1940’s.

This month we set our sites on Buffalo Wings, but first a little about their origin. There are several claims about the invention of Buffalo wings, but the most accepted version is that Buffalo wings were first prepared in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York. One of the owners needed a fast […]
In this special Cinco de Mayo edition of Taste of the Point, we go in search of the best local Margarita. So where did this popular concoction come from? Well, the origin of the Margarita is somewhat muddled – one story involves a Ziegfeld showgirl in 1938 and another story claims that a Texas socialite […]
This month we were in the mood for Thai – and there is only one place to get the best Thai food in Point Loma, and that is Supannee House of Thai. They serve authentic Thai cuisine and have been in Point Loma for over 10 years. And the name? Well, Supannee House is not […]
