"We always try to soak up as much time together as we can when she comes to town," said Robyn Bordes, owner of Love You A Latte and Pasta Bowls, which is located right next door.
"We started our day at Love You a Latte where we sell Christina and her partner Liz's brand, Beignet Box. We created content with the canned latte and cold brew, sampled our new crepe menu and then stopped in at Arch In Bloom to grab decor for outside Pasta Bowls," Bordes said. "Later [on] we had a late lunch at Pasta Bowls trying a little of everything on the menu."
