Lunch Time-Sensuous Sandwich



I tried out a great new place for lunch this week! It is a little sandwich shop called Sensuous Sandwich. Sensuous Sandwich is a great place to go for lunch, because it makes great sandwiches, but it is more original than your everyday Subway or Blimpie. Sensuous Sandwich has a fun menu that includes sandwiches like The Stimulator, The Spicy Enticer, The Satisfier, and the Tantalizer, among others. Sensuous Sandwich is a great place to get a quick meal, there is no sitting around waiting for someone to make your food, it is ready right after you order.
Sensuous Sandwich also has a very fun atmosphere. My favorite part of the restaurant was just sitting at the table! Pasted onto each table, there are comics, jokes, “would you rather” questions, and interesting facts. These are a great way to keep you entertained while you enjoy your meal, and they provide a lot of good laughs to your experience!
Sensuous Sandwich is very reasonably priced. Depending how hungry you are, you can decide if you want a 4”, 6”, 8”, 10”, 12”, 16”, or even 24” sandwich! A 4” sandwich is just $2.69 while a 24” sandwich is $12.79.
I recommend Sensuous Sandwich to anyone who is looking for a good sandwich, but is tired of the same old Subway everyday. I thought that Sensuous Sandwich had good food, and it was a fun place to go.
Sensuous Sandwich is located at 163 W. Center Street in Provo, or also in the Burlington Coat Factory Center In Orem.

J Dawgs!



J Dawgs is a Provo favorite, that surprisingly I had never tried! So I went this week, and found that it is just as good as everyone says it is! J Dawgs is a hot dog restaurant that started out as a small shack on the corner of the street, but has recently moved into a restaurant that has a very fun atmosphere. J Dawgs is a popular place for college students to eat, as it is located right by Condo Row, and is very inexpensive. One hot dog is just $3.00! You can choose between a Polish Dawg or an all beef Dawg. There are also many toppings that you can choose from including ketchup, mustard, Saur kraut, pickle, onion, hot peppers, and special sauce. I think the special sauce is really what makes J Dawgs better than any other hot dog. J Dawgs is located at 880 N. 700 E. in Provo. It is one restaurant in Provo that everyone definitely needs to try! Even if hot dogs are not your favorite food, J Dawgs may change your mind!

Yozone Frozen Yogurt



It seems that there are more ice cream and frozen yogurt shops in Provo than in the entire state of Utah combined! So how do each of these shops stay successful and set themselves apart from all the others? My goal this week was to find a frozen yogurt shop that I thought was different from the others. So I went to YoZone, located at 1286 N Freedom Blvd. at the Alpine Village Apartments in Provo. YoZone is a self-serve yogurt shop- you get to choose how many flavors of yogurt you want how many toppings you want, how much you want, and you get to prepare it yourself!
YoZone offers many appetizing flavors of frozen yogurt including, New York Cheesecake, Raspberry, Mango, Cookies and Cream, and others. After you have chosen your flavor (or flavors) of yogurt, you get to add as many toppings as you want. The toppings available range from chocolate chips and candy bars, to Captain Crunch Cereal, to fresh fruit and nuts.
When you are done creating your treat, each serving is weighed, and you only pay .36 cents and ounce! YoZone has a bright and fun atmosphere. One of my favorite parts of the shop was that they have a T.V. hanging on the wall that displays pictures of happy customers to YoZone, and occasionally someone you know pops up on the screen! YoZone is a great place to go for an inexpensive, fun, and quick treat!

Mmmm....Cupcakes!



The Cocoa Bean Café
Who doesn’t love cupcakes?! I think everyone can agree that a personal size is a perfect snack. It seems to me that cupcakes have become a new fad, and now they have hit Provo! The new Cocoa Bean Café just opened on January 9, 2010. This fun new restaurant has a variety of drinks and specialty cupcakes.
For the thirsty customer, The Cocoa Bean Café serves a variety of Italian Sodas, Steamies (specialty hot cocoa), frappes, and frozen lemonades.
The main attraction at the Cocoa Bean Café are the specialty cupcakes. There is a wide assortment of flavors of cupcakes including, Better Than Whatever, Madagascar Vanilla Vanilla, Mexican Chocolate, Party in My Mouth, Hostess with the Mostess, Dirty Turtle, and Death By Chocolate, just to name a few.
Although the Cocoa Bean Café has only been open a few weeks, it is already a popular place to go for a treat. It is conveniently located between UVU and BYU making it a popular place for college students to go, even on the weeknights. The Cocoa Bean Cafe offers an inviting and clean environment that keeps customers wanting to come back for more!
The Cocoa Bean Café is very reasonably priced. All the small drinks are under $3.00, and each cupcake is $2.75. Or you can get the special, and get a small drink and a cupcake for $4.95! What a deal!
