Locca Churros + Tea Opens Inside Union Market Mission Viejo at Kaleidoscope & We LOVE it all...

I am Loca for Locca!

 

Okay so did I just call my self carzy? I did....

 

I am totally crazy or loca over Locca Churros and Tea! Have you heard about this new little secret spot?

 

Well it's not that secret it's just new and a must try!

 

 



 

I was able to give Locca a try after a mom meet up last week. All opinions are my own and I am super grateful to Locca for inviting us to try their goodness out.

 

I really enjoyed how fresh and full of flavor the Locca teas and milk teas are. I also appreciate that they didn't look at me like I was totally loca (I can drop that pun all day) that I asked for No Boba... I know right.. just have to be in the mood.

 

It makes me smile when an owner takes such pride in the magic behind the scenes to bring us what we taste. Aside from the fresh churros that make your mouth just water, the toppings are nothing short of customizable and delish.

 

Pile on the different creative ingredients on top of fresh churned ice cream made in socal to bring the most creamy bite to each spoonful.

 



 

I found myself saying wow... the kids are going to love these churros too... better than (dare I say it...) Disney churros. Whelp there, I said it. It's true... fresh, warm, packed with sugar and cinnamon and there is something about the batter used.... its addictive. I couldn't stop..

 

Here are more deets on the new location and all that is offered. I can't wait to get the kids back so they can create and taste too.

 

 

Hot off the press....
