Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted a new gem in awhile! I actually have been tour colleges and visiting some family with a great friend of mine, which was such great experience. I never thought I would love the University of Utah so much, things surprise you sometimes!

Anyways, down to business. Before I left for my trip, I got some coffee with a good friend of mine, Natalie Brown! She told me about this place called Break Point Coffee Co. (1120 Commercial St SE  Salem, OR 97302, it's right across the street from Straight From New York and Dutch Brothers!) I decided it would be glorious for this little local business blog. 

This the Break Point sign! It's pretty in your face and hard to miss!

They had the cutest little set up in this coffee shop. It made you feel right at home to a certain extent. It's pretty quite, so it's a great place to read a book or catch up with a friend you haven't seen in awhile. All the baristas are helpful and make a mean cup of joe! I've been here once before, and I ordered a roasted marshmallow mocha, it was like a choir for my taste buds. So yummy. If you like doing funky things to your coffee, I could totally recommend trying that outrageous choice! 

Natalie and I both got the blended Tiger Chai
and a homemade lemon bar! 

The Tiger Chai was really great if you like very thick chai. It wasn't really my cup of chai because I like it more light, but it is one of there best sellers, people drink it up like nobody's business. Natalie got her wisdom teeth removed and had to eat her chai with a spoon, so it wisdom teeth friendly! 

Another thing I found really great about Break Point is that they have so many gluten free options! Since so many people are gluten sensitive, this is great place to pick up a lunch and chat with a good friend or read a good book (I just finished the Hunger Games and let me tell ya, it was very captivating) 

They have so many cake ball options! It's cake ball heaven!
Who doesn't like cake balls?

This was one of the coolest things at Break Point! They have so many options for cake balls. I love cake balls. How could you not like cake balls? They are like a little taste of Heaven. The best thing about these cake balls, is that they have a few gluten free options, so those poor souls can still enjoy a little slice of heaven. I'm gluten free, and Break Points cake balls are on point! (See what I did there?) 

I hope you all check out Break Point! It has great coffee and tons of food options! 

Until the next gem is found,
