Out & About #357 | Collective June Visuals + Canada 150 Celebrations

7/1/2017

 
June was a rather quiet month for me, with only a handful of impromptu hangouts here and there. Activities were scheduled relatively intimately towards the end of the month and on specific vacation days, so the majority of the events I took part in can be found throughout this space.

I've succumbed to a West Coast-esque sleep schedule due to backlog overflow, but am in the midst of rectifying this habit. Frequently coming to my aid was iced coffee, specifically cold brew.

1) Toasted Coconut Cold Brew from Starbucks
A tropical step up from the Spiced Sweet Cream Cold Brew offered in the fall, coconut syrup and a splash of coconut milk were minor additions that contributed stunning flavour to the re-invented summer favourite. (Word of note: Do NOT visit the Starbucks near First Markham Place should you wish to find a table to consume your newly-attained beverage. Regardless of early bird status, the spots quickly fill up with laptop and smartphone users whether they were paying customers or not.)
​2) Homemade Naengmyeon is a stellar treat for scorching summer days
3) Miscellaneous snaps from The Guksu and Noodle and Pacific Mall

​4) Revisiting Liko's Hawaiian BBQ at the Mississauga Waterfront Festvial after finally securing parking spot in Port Credit
5) Three Guys and Two Ladies from CoCo
​
6) Peace Collective, as well as Peace Treats, has expanded from their tiny outpost on Ossington to Mississauga's very own Square One!

7) An outtake of Mango Bingsoo from Cafe Bene
8) A failed, odd-tasting Matcha Espresso Fusion from my local Starbucks
9) Apparently Square One's beauty bags weren't quite the same as Yorkdale's after all...

​10) A not-so-standard breakfast of sponge cake, strawberries, and Pike Place from a packet

11) Weekend getaway visuals, including patio views from Hooligans, delectable dishes from Thai Bamboo, Mint Truffles from Chelsea Chocolates, and heaping scoops of ice cream from Sweet Dreams

14) Brunching with orangecane at Mildred's Temple Kitchen after strenuous planning​

​We also rang in the holiday with a chilled slice of cheesecake, adorned patriotically with Uncle Tetsu's limited edition Canadian flag stamp.

Happy July everyone!
