Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Latte Dessert Bars.

The other day- Jeff Eats spotted the above box- of Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Latte Dessert Bars at Trader Joe’s, 855 South Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, (561) 338-5031- and figured that I’d found a big-time winner based on its $1.99 (for 5 bars/40 calories per bar) price but au contrarie- imagine if you can- an 8oz cup of coffee/cream/2 sugars mixed with a gallon of water, then freezing the whole shooting match- and you’ll have some idea as to what these Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Latte Dessert Bars taste like!- and having Jeff Eats thinking that just maybe a Trader Joe’s buyer got paid- off to stock the chain’s stores with these Cold Brew Latte Dessert Bars, but hey, what do I know?

Finally, the term “Bars” is kinda deceiving- because anyone over the age of 4 months knows that these Bars are really “Pops”- any way, if you don’t believe Jeff Eats’ call here, traderjoes.com for store locations!

Cold Brew Latte Dessert Bars
April 13, 2017 in Category: What’s New.

In ancient Rome, crushed ice was blended with fresh fruit and spices. China’s Yuan dynasty and the American founding fathers enjoyed the cool, refreshing flavors of sorbet. Long before there was electric refrigeration (or freezing, for that matter), there were sweet frozen treats to be savored.

In the early years of the 20th century, a happy accident and the entrepreneurial spirit of an 11-year-old boy led to extensive enjoyment of frozen desserts on a stick, and by the mid-20th century, when household freezers became widespread, children across the country were in love with their portable frozen delights.

But frozen treats on sticks are not just for children, right? There are icy treats made with adults in mind, aren’t there? Of course there are.

In 2017, when we’re nearly 20% of the way through the 21st century, Trader Joe’s is thrilled to introduce Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Latte Dessert Bars, the most delicious extension of modern American coffee culture we’ve tasted in a good, long time.

Crafted with an adult’s taste buds in mind, coffee takes center stage – cold brew coffee is the first ingredient, and the robust flavors of that coffee make a rich first impression. The coffee is blended with ingredients you’d find in the best ice cream – things like cream, milk, and sugar – and meticulously mixed so that you taste coffee, then cream, then a sweet-but-not-too-sweet finish. It’s like a well-crafted latte from your neighborhood coffee house. Frozen. On a stick.

Enjoy Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Latte Dessert Bars as an afternoon snack or after-dinner dessert. Each Bar contains a mere 40 calories, so you can indulge without any real indulgence. We’re selling each 8.75 fluid ounce box of five Cold Brew Latte Dessert Bars for $1.99, making them a treat for your wallet as well as your palate. You’ll find them in our freezers.

Salvatore Pizza, Pasta & Subs could be the Poster Child for the red sauce- mom & pop- Italian pizza joint industry!

Jeff Eats loves this joint with all my heart and soul!- (I know, a bit over-dramatic).

It’s just too bad that it’s such a schlep from my Boca Raton abode to Hialeah!

I singled-out Salvatore’s pizza to get the conversation started- but trust Jeff Eats when I tell you guys, it’s all good at this joint!

Let’s call Salvatore Pizza “an out of sight, out of mind” mom & pop- red sauce- Italian joint…

First told you guys about Salvatore Pizza on November 10, 2014- hadn’t been back until last night’s “drama” dinner with Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats. Why such a long hiatus between visits?- Salvatore Pizza’s Hialeah location and Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode aren’t exactly “next door” to one another. Why the “drama”?- As I’m sure it’s the same with your family- That’s the $64,000 question!

Long story short, this joint’s food is off the chart delicious. You live, you work, you play in Salvatore Pizza’s neighborhood- you gotta give it a shot!

Got a real good one for you…Salvatore Pizza, Pasta & Subs in Hialeah.

First things first,

You guys know and Jeff Eats knows, that “mom & pop”-red sauce Italian joints are a dime a dozen down here in South Florida. No ifs ands or buts, almost every dumpy-strip center has one of them. For the record, we also know-that these strip center pizza joints aren’t solely- indigenous (I did go to college)- to South Florida, all 50 states got them…

Anyway,

Jeff Eats and a couple of buddies recently had lunch at Salvatore Pizza and I gotta tell you, I loved the joint.

When you check Salvatore Pizza’s menu at salvatoreinhialeah.com, you’re gonna find the expected full-boat of appetizers/pizzas/pastas/subs/salads/calzones-stromboli/entrees/desserts.

Jeff Eats and Buddies Jeff Eats ordered…veal parm sub (8″-$9), meatball sub (8″-$7), large plain pizza (16″-$11), calzone ($13) and I-must tell you, Salvatore Pizza killed it! No fooling here, everything was delicious.

Now, you guys know that Jeff Eats really isn’t into lists or rankings, but the- calzone stuffed with ricotta/mozzarella/romano cheeses definitely deserved a special shout-out! So- HELLO CALZONE!!

Nothing fancy going on at Salvatore Pizza. Solid and I do mean SOLID pizza joint stuff.

Like I said 4 seconds ago, Jeff Eats loved Salvatore Pizza.

The perfect Jeff Eats’ lunch…red sauce galore, loads of Coca Cola, good friends, plenty of napkins and no Mrs. Jeff Eats’-drama… bitching about- how I was stuffing my face, hadn’t taken a “lactose” pill and how I would be up all night gagging from indigestion.

Salvatore Pizza, Pasta & Subs is open Monday-Thursday 10am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 10am-11pm, Sunday noon-10pm.

This story first appeared on 12/31/17. Jeff Eats just checked the Boca Black Box Box-Office and goldstar.com (discount tickets) and there are a handful of really good seats left for tonight’s (8pm) show.

Trader Joe’s Pepperoni Pizza Mac & Cheese Bowl.

Long story short,

The other day while shopping at Trader Joe’s, 855 South Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, (561) 338-5031- Jeff Eats came across and purchased the above pictured Trader Joe’s Pepperoni Pizza Mac & Cheese Bowl ($2.99)- and all I can say- is that even Secretariat lost (twice to be precise)! Just a subjective call (what I like you may hate and vice versa)- Trader Joe’s missed by a mile with this- Pepperoni Pizza Mac & Cheese Bowl! What sounded like a dream combo- pepperoni/pizza sauce/mac & cheese ended up in the garbage pail after 2 bites! Bad news!- But like I just said, purely a subjective call!

from traderjoes.com

There are foods you eat every day, and there are foods you dream about eating. Those dream foods exist only in your imagination, and bring you such immense pleasure in the abstract. But they’re not real. What if we told you we made a dream come true?

Trader Joe’s Pepperoni Pizza Mac & Cheese Bowl (henceforth, Pizza Mac & Cheese) began as a dream, and we made it a reality. Each Bowl begins as ordinary mac & cheese, a classic combination of elbow macaroni and Cheddar cheese. Our foray into food fantasy takes shape with the addition of tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and slices of uncured pepperoni. It’s not fancy; it is fantastic! With every bite, your palate will puzzle the answers to: Is this pizza? Is this mac & cheese? We assure you; it’s both! You’re welcome.

One of the dreamiest things about our version is you can buy it at Trader Joe’s and have a hot forkful in your mouth in about six minutes. (That’s prepped in the microwave; conventional oven requires about half an hour cooking time.)

We’re selling each 12 ounce Pepperoni Pizza Mac & Cheese Bowl for $2.99 – even the price is dreamy!
