Look Into the Crystall Ball.. Cafe Edition
Hello, new week, new post!
It definitely feels like spring, but also a little like early summer. It’s pretty warm, but beautiful outside. I absolutely love spring; it’s my favorite season because it’s the birth of new life, with blooms and cherry blossom trees everywhere! The weather is perfect to go out, be active, drink a cold latte or soda, and obvs chismear with your besties.
This past weekend, my husband and I went to try Luna Coffee and Crystal Cafe located in the Ballpark area in Salt Lake City. I found this cafe while I was looking for Tea Grotto on Google Maps. The name caught my eye, and I immediately thought, “I have to check this place out.” I followed them on Instagram right away and reached out. They were super nice and suggested the banana bread latte, so I was really excited to go and even more excited that my husband joined me. I usually go solo to get coffee since he’s normally asleep or not ready to go and I don’t have the patience to wait. Because I’m already running late to do other things with my day. My OCD is showing through haha not a perfect person but hey lets be real nobody is perfect as Hannah Montana Says.

When we walked into the cafe, the vibes were immaculate, very cute, clean, and cozy! There were plenty of tables, and it felt really comfortable. I ordered the banana bread latte, and my husband got a chai latte. He’s not much of a coffee person, but I definitely am. While we waited, we looked around and found crystals and other vendor products like art and lip gloss. I ended up buying a lip gloss called Metamorphosis by Sharlyn, a small business owner of Lipgloss by Sharlyn. The lip gloss changes color with your pH, and I love it!
Soon after, we got our drinks and sat down. I loved my banana bread latte. It was sweet, but not too sweet, which made it perfect. The foam was soft and smooth as I sipped my iced latte. My husband’s drink was good too. I took a sip even though tea isn’t really my favorite, and it was actually delicious! If you’re not a coffee drinker, chai tea is a must. There's also bagels, charcuterie boards and sweets available for purchase.
The shop is beautiful, and I definitely plan to come back with friends for a girl’s night. I know some of my friends would love grabbing a drink and a treat here. Next time, I want to try their guava matcha. It sounded magical, and that’s saying a lot because I don’t even like matcha. So this café might just change my mind.
Now, some people might be wondering why I go to a shop that has crystals. I do think crystals are cool, and maybe they carry some kind of energy or power but I mostly just think they’re beautiful, with all their colors, natural design and meanings. Growing up Latina well, at least in my family some people believe in more spiritual or supernatural things such as witchcraft. I don’t fully believe in it, but I do believe in energy. Like, if you put good or bad energy out into the world, that’s what comes back to you and Karma too.
I also think the people you surround yourself with matter. If you’re around negativity, you tend to absorb that, but when you’re around positive people, your energy shifts too. You can really see the difference.
So, in my own way, I believe to a certain extent. But more importantly, I respect other people’s beliefs whether that’s crystals, spirituality, or religion. Everyone has their own perspective, and I’m very open-minded. At the same time, I like to stay in my own lane when it comes to certain things now that I have gotten older.
