Four Daughter’s Kitchen – Manhattan Beach, California
Rating- 8/10
Hey guys! It’s so nice to finally be home! Today my friend Keala is joining me for some tasty brunch at this restaurant called the “Four Daughter’s Kitchen”! Located in northern Manhattan Beach, just off of Highland, the location is great! It may be a little difficult to find parking, but a little walk doesn’t seem to bother me when you’re in Southern California! Keep reading for a greater insight in our munch excursion!
Here I am standing out in front of the eatery! Not a big fan of the text on the window, but I do like the vibrant blue and red that decorates the whole building!
Here’s the inside! Nothing too special in here, but not terrible!
A little glance at the menu! I would say they have a good selection with fairly standard prices.
Keala excited to eat her tofu curry omelette! We decided to eat outside because fresh air is always nice!
Here I am with the “Longboard Burrito”! Consisting of three eggs, chorizo blend, diced onions, peppers, jack cheese, avocado, and salsa!
Here’s a close-up!
I like the sign they have on the side of the building!
And you can’t complain about the location! A minute walk from the soft sand!

Snoop Dogg was born in beautiful Long Beach, California on october 20th, 1971. Snoop is most prominently known for his music career, however in recent years Snoop has turned some of his creativity in a new direction to pursue expressing himself through the art of painting. With no fundamental art instruction under his belt Snoop's work exhibits a bold avant-garde flavor linked to urban inspiration. In an interview about his work Snoop stated, "Sometimes the music in my life don't explain exactly what I'm going through, so [painting] is another piece of the puzzle,”. Within Snoop's painting their is also a highly musical quality about them and how the colors he chooses rhythmically hop throughout each work. If you have some free time you should check some of his work out online, it's pretty cool.

Tropical Smoothie Cafe – Ann Arbor, MI
Rating- 8/10
Happy Friday everyone! Sorry for my lack of presence on these blogs, school has been hectic but hopefully these smoothies will cool me off! Located just off of State Street, the location is prime for any hungry college student looking for a quick bite in between classes. Come check out what my friend Julia and I order this beautiful spring day!
Here I am rocking out in front of the café! I’m not too sure about the design of it so far. Don’t get me wrong, I love tropical themed, but the stone and brick building doesn’t seem to work well with the laid-back beachy hangout.
Stepping inside I must say I do love all the bright colors! It makes it fun to go inside and eat! (t-shirt is the “Living Room Camp Out”)
Oh snap! What is this? It’s the Avocolada, that’s what it is!! Julia has ordered it before, who would have thought an avocado smoothie would be that good!? What am I saying, of course it would be.
Here’s another pic of the building to show you as we wait our food (which really didn’t take that long).
Can’t hate on a nice beach house painting!
The food! It’s arrived! We both decided to order the chipotle chicken club flatbread. My smoothie was the Sunrise Sunset, and hers was the Island Green Smoothie (she got the Avocolada a different time). I have to say, this was the best part!! Which is a good thing, considering we came here to eat. Everything was delicious!
Julia excited for her lunch!
It was so good that I came back for more!! This time I ordered the Cali Chicken Flatbread, which was just a tasty!
Overall, I’m glad I went! I appreciate the effort to transform a small place into a nice little beach themed hangout. The food was delicious, the prices were fair ($5 for a smoothie with a dollar off if you get any food item), there was some music going on in the background (which is crucial), and there were no problems with customer service! Like I was saying at the beginning, it may not be some kind of OG surf shack, but they’re trying! Stay tuned for the Monthly Crunch!! See ya guys soon!
