A Fun Spring Day (Part 3, Mac & Cheese)

(Mac & Cheeza)
After both bakeries, we went to grab some real dinner at Mac & Cheeza. I had discovered this place randomly on Yelp! and since I LOVE mac & cheese and it got good reviews, I had to give this place a go. They have been compared to Pinkberry in the way their place works. You walk up  to the counter to order in these steps.
1. size (ranges from Baby Mac ($5) to Mac Daddy ($25))
2. noodles (rice noodles or elbow macaroni) - I prefer the traditional elbow macaroni
3. base sauce (cheese or soy cheese) - how nice of them to consider lactose intolerant people!
4. add-in toppings (different veggies and meats, each $1)
5. topping (melted cheese blend or spicy toasted walnuts) - they have different special toppings each day
I had gotten a baby mac with rice noodles, tomatoes, spinach, and chorizo and a cheese blend topping. It was delicious! It has the perfect ratio of gooey-ness and baked crustiness and the cheese blend on top makes its extra cheesy, yum! Mac & Cheeza also have bottled drinks, which are all only $1. I had gotten a cucumber soda, which was really nice and refreshing. You could really taste the cucumber. I had gone back with another friend and I had gotten elbow macaroni, regular cheese, chorizo, tomatoes, and cheese topping. I thought it was better than the first time I had it! I absolutely love this place!
Their concept is real simple and the food is great. Though it is more of a take out place, they do have some benches to sit and enjoy our mac & cheese. At the end they have a regular trash can and a recycling bin for the bottles. Plus they decorated with macaroni art, who could resist a place like this!
