Malibu Farm Restaurant = jude approved 👍🏻
📍Malibu, California
I loved this restaurant!! It had such a great atmosphere inside and outside. The view by the sea was perfect with a little pier 😍. We stopped by on our drive from LAX airport to Santa Barbara.
.
Food: was really good!! Our appetizers were the VEGAN COCONUT CEVICHE and MALIBU BEACH NACHOS (veggie). Nachos were really good! I wish ceviche had more flavor but it was still a good hit at our table! We finished both easily! 😋 For entrees: I got the SPOTLIGHT TACOS TRIO plate! What a colorful plate! ❤️💛💚 I actually really enjoyed them. It was a massive taco so i had to eat some with a fork but it was good! Parents got fish tacos and they said it was amazing!! It comes as a big fish with many sides and a tortilla. You could eat it as a taco or with a fork. Sister got the SOY GINGER HANGER STEAK and it was delicious!! It came with cauliflower mashed potatoes which were my favorite of the night!! 💯 You couldn’t even taste the cauliflower and they were sooo soft…🤤 For dessert, we shared the COCONUT CARROT CAKE WITH CHAI GRANOLA ICE CREAM and that was also a must!! So freaking good!! 🤩
Drinks: Dirty Chai Latte and Vanilla Latte were both surprisingly good! Even my sister, who doesn’t like sweet coffees, was a fan of the vanilla latte! Also got a cappuccino as always! 😊☕️
.
Overall, I would definitely go back and highly recommend! 👍🏻💓 taken in Malibu Farm by @jude_approved

Dart Coffee Co. = jude approved 👍🏻
📍Santa Barbara, CA
Atmosphere was very chill! White decor with pops of color from the flavorful drinks! ❤️💚💗💛 We did not eat any entree options, but the donut was very delicious! 😋🍩 Tasted like a powdered donut!!
.
Drinks (from left to right): Wild Berry Hibiscus was fruity and refreshing! Matcha Latte was okay, tasted matcha bits which were bitter and the flavor was kind of diluted. Churro Latte was tasty and rich. Sparkling Botanical Tea was good but it tasted like you are drinking a garden of flowers. Strong but decent.
.
Would recommend and come back! I would have loved to try the lavender latte, rosemary latte, and the other teas! They have a lot of interesting flavors!! P.s. bathroom was super cute, took a video in there! taken in DART Coffee CO. by @jude_approved

Koffee Kat = jude approved! 👍🏼
.
I'm a fan. I searched on google for a coffee shop nearby, then we found this 4.8 star-rated coffee shop. We walked to it and found this cute little diner style shop that is in a more quiet part of town. We were welcomed by a very kind employee who was smiling and eager to serve us. We ordered and sat outside facing the street and he brought us our orders. I got a white mocha koffee with almond milk and a belgian waffle topped with powdered sugar and nutella. What a treat!! .
This is a little shop worth stopping by. I am a fan! @koffeekatsd #koffeekat by @jude_approved

The Fish Shop = jude approved! 👍🏼
.
Guess who's back!! Hitting San Diego this spring break! Pacific Beach specifically. Stay tuned for more @jude_approved spots! .
Okay, this restaurant is sooo good! A little pricey, but worth it!!! It is a cute little restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Very casual setting. Menu items: You can choose any fish option -> a marinade (only grilled items) -> then a base (taco, sandwich, salad, or plate)! Or they have pre-made specialities and of course appetizers! #pacificbeachfishshop
.
A must go to if you are in the area!! I had shrimp with their fish shop sauce and it was delicious! My sister got red snapper with teriyaki sauce and she loved it! You can't go wrong. taken in Fish Shop by @jude_approved

London, England = jude approved👍🏼
.
Boy, do I have a story...so we only got to be in London during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It was good and bad. Good cause no one is here and the streets are pretty empty, so driving is not bad and it was very nice walking on the streets among the buildings. BUT, bad cause everything is closed. Not just tourist attractions, everything. We were barely able to find restaurants opened near our hotel. But we did it and all the food was delicious!! Like North Sea Fish & Chips! (2nd photo) So good! .
I recommend the christmas lights private tour though!! We had a guy named Steve and he was the BEST! Very informative and took us where we wanted to go to. .
All in all, London was beautiful!! I definitely loved the atmosphere, views, and the people!! OMG!! THE PEOPLE!! They are amazing!!! Their hospitality and kindness was incredible. They kept us smiling when everything else was not going smoothly. But I hope to come back longer and during times when more areas are open. I can't wait to explore more in the future.
.
TIP: double check your confirmations in advance of a tour. We called to confirm a private tour today, but they canceled on us saying it was never booked cause its christmas, but we had already paid for the full tour through Expedia. The company and Expedia were not cooperating. We had to ask for a refund and find another way to get transportation throughout the city since ALL public transportation was closed for christmas. Again, EVERYTHING was closed. .
Sorry for the long post, but since this is my only post, I had to post all the pros and cons here! :)
.
For now, onto the next location! See you again next time, London! taken in North Sea Fish Restaurant by @jude_approved

Ghirardelli shop has delicious ice-cream sundaes and hot cocoa! Next pic is at Labriola's. They had wonderful appetizers and although the pizza took awhile, it was worth the wait, because it was delicious!! The crust is thick and the cheese was melting as you took a piece off of the iron skillet! 😋 Last pic was a refreshing veggie juice from a cute little shack located on E Cedar St. And N State St.

Let's hear it (🎉) for the last pics before my next adventure!!! Stay tuned...😁 taken in Chicago, Illinois by @jude_approved

Chi-town gets a big thumbs up! Haven't been there since I was little, but once I went back, I looooved it!!! Definitely one of my new favorite cities in U.S. The view of the lake with the modern chic vibes in the streets and lively music playing at every block had me in love with this beautiful city!
