Blenz


An old workplace.. same place that fired me after a month of working there. Nevertheless, they still have some good drinks. Located everywhere really, you'll see one.

For those of you who don't know what Blenz is, it's a coffee place. Like Starbucks. Actually, it's quite expensive for the drinks. But here are a few that are worth trying on a cold, rainy/snowy day. I don't really recommend their cold drinks much. The hot chocolate at Blenz is definitely worth the money. It's much better than Starbucks hot chocolate and Tim Horton's (it's just a powder mix). It's made with homogenized milk I think.. or you could ask for skim, 2%, or soy milk (costs extra). They steam the milk to 180 degrees and add in 3-4 spoonfuls of actual chocolate chips- your choice of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate- and blend it. Really good. I suggest either white chocolate or milk chocolate. Another line of drinks worth trying from Blenz are their tea lattes. Strawberry one smells really good, and.. London Fog? I can't remember completely. They make the tea first, and add in the shots (could ask for half sweet) and mix in steamed milk. Very yummy. While I was working there, the matcha products were fairly popular, but I never tried it. Anywhos, definite recommendation on the hot chocolates and tea lattes for suresies.

Blenz also offers free internet.. so yeah. Though a lot of their drinks are kind of pricy, some of them are actually worth it. Oh, and the Blenz franchise is Canadian.
