Ike’s Love and Sandwiches is a funky joint that got its start in The Castro district of San Francisco in 2007. Ike’s is known for it’s unique sandwich offerings that have equally unique names like “Menage a Trois” and [Name of the Girl I’m Dating]. I first reviewed Ike’s iced tea in 2016. At this…

Iced Tea Rating Revisions
A colleague of mine recently brought to my attention an issue she had with one of my restaurant iced tea ratings, and I think she has a valid point. The review she had issue with is my four tea bag rating for Habit Burger Grill‘s iced tea, but the same critique can be applied to…
Improved Iced Tea at Pieology
Prior to 2018 I was very down on the iced tea served at Pieology. The tea was Gold Peak brand pre-made tea which I describe in detail here. However since then Pieology has switched to what I am 90% sure is Gold Peak brand fresh brewed iced tea (the brand of tea will be verified…
My Top Home Brewed Iced Teas
After reviewing a number of really good home brewed iced teas (click here to see them) I thought I would give awards for my top three based on the two basic criteria of taste and value. Drumroll please. . . Scorecard: Taste-8 Value-8 Coming in at a respectable 3rd place is Tazo “Iced True Black”…
Why I love Chipotle . . .and their iced tea
I have long been a huge fan of Chipotle’s iced tea. I contacted them by email a few years back to find out the details of what brand of iced tea they serve. I was impressed with how quickly their customer service responded. According to that email, they brew S&D coffee brand’s “regular black iced…
Iced Tea at San Francisco’s AT&T Park
A few years back there were basically no options for unsweetened black iced tea at AT&T park. The thing that closest resembled tea was Snapple which they had at most concession stands on the field level. When going to a Giant’s game, I usually resorted to getting a Pure Leaf or another brand bottled tea…
Cold Brew Tea
Whether it be for coffee or tea, cold brewing is hot these days (pun intended). But how exactly does cold brewing work? Well for tea, it is really simple. The steps are really just to put a traditional iced tea bag (or loose leaves) in the appropriate amount of water, put that in the refrigerator…
Cafe Rio Iced Tea Review
Cafe Rio serves good tasting fresh brewed China Mist iced tea, which is also served at Chronic Tacos. This is a very good tasting iced tea. I did notice a slight fruity flavor in the “traditional black tea”, which more than likely comes from using the same brewing machine for the other flavored teas. Nevertheless,…
Changes at Panera
Not too long ago I was very high on Panera’s iced tea. They were close to, if not my number one choice for fast food iced tea. The only way I could describe their tea is that it has a strong, unique but pleasant flavor, that I really enjoyed. The taste was also very consistent…
AMC Dine-In Theatres
On Tuesday I had my first experience in an AMC “dine-in” theater. I think this is a great concept. The ability to order and eat decent restaurant quality food while watching a movie seems like something that should be offered at every theater, even if it is overpriced. While combing through the relatively large menu,…
The Complete Guide to Iced Tea in Disneyland
Iced tea is a necessity for me when it comes to any amusement park, especially the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. I have listed and reviewed the best places to get iced tea in the three different parts of the resort area (Disneyland, California Adventure, and Downtown Disney). For a summery scroll to the bottom of…
Chipotle drink changes . . .
I have made my love of Chipotle’s iced tea well known on this site. It is brewed on the stronger side and very consistently good tasting. I have been known to visit Chipotle and only order iced tea, which can be a little confusing with their cafeteria style ordering. Do I have to stand in line or…
