Hruskas Kolaches (Breakfast)
We talked about Kolaches in our Provo Travel Guide, but I wanted to give them a double shout-out because they are AMAZING. Seriously, they are so good and you can eat them with one hand.

Tamashi Ramen & Sushi Bar (Lunch and Dinner)
Sushi. Need I say more? This is a new favorite. We have eaten here about 3 times in the last month. I think we’re obsessed. I don’t really like sushi that tastes too fishy (I know, isn’t that the point?) and this restaurant has been too good to me in this department. None of them have a fishy aftertaste! The portion sizes are pretty big and the food is so filling. Here are our favorites:

What to get?
- Cazookie
- Eclair
- Lemon Bar
- German Chocolate Cupcake
- German Chocolate Cake
- Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cake
Leatherby’s Family Creamery (Dessert)
Creamery ice cream is so good! Leatherby’s has become one of our favorite places for dessert. They just opened one in Orem, and it is so nice not to drive up to Draper to satisfy my sweet tooth. They sell lunch and dinner as well, but we’re bigger fans of their desserts.
What to get?

- Amy’s Hot Fudge Brownie
- Marianne’s Hot Fudge Sundae
