About

VANILLA LATTE is a blog dedicated to food & travel with occasional random stuff thrown in. It is managed and written by me, Maggie Ha.

Vanillalatte.com has been around since 2003. It started out as a personal blog but now it’s a dedicated food blog filled with recipes, culinary experiments and gastronomical travel adventures.

I’m a California girl at heart but I currently live in New York City with my lovely boyfriend/taste-tester/biggest critic/number 1 fan. I’ve been a vegetarian for about 15 years but I’m beginning to cook more and more meat for my carnivore boyfriend. I’m not a professional chef by any means, but cooking is a true passion of mine and loving food just runs in my family.

I became a food enthusiast in college when I hosted Tuesday Night Dinners at my apartment for my closest friends. $5 got you a delicious meal, including dessert! Okay so they were not always amazing dishes but that’s what started it all. Once I started cooking, I never really stopped.

So why VANILLA LATTE? Well, it’s my favorite coffee drink. And believe me, it’s often done wrong. I don’t get to drink it very often now a days, but it still remains as my favorite coffee drink. My current daily dose of caffeine comes in the form of a soy latte or cappuccino.

Hope you enjoy the blog! Questions, comments, and suggestions are always welcome!

Latest Latte

Ground Support

My local favorite is currently Ground Support in SOHO. I go there almost every day for a smooth creamy soy cappuccino or if it’s hot out an iced soy latte. When I’m not in a hurry to run out, I try to take a few extra minutes to enjoy the coffee in the shop… you know, chat with the staff, catch up on some calls and best of all… people watch. Always some interesting characters in NYC!
