Mom Violy and Carmina Books Allied Cargo Services Door to Door Delivery

Twelve years ago, Mom Violy has been shipping boxes from California to the Philippines every time she is in town visiting her family and friends. Allied Cargo Services was referred by Auntie Marissa who uses them when she is sending boxes to her family in the Philippines. Mom Violy had called up Conrad the owner of Allied Cargo Services to make an appointment when she would like to have her boxes being picked up by Ogie. Ogie had arrived with the truck to have our boxes picked up with an invoice slip with shipping address and the sender of the boxes being shipped out through Allied Cargo Services.

Before entering at Teaspoon, you need to make sure you're wearing a face mask they also do online delivery if you choose to order through Door Dash. Carmina went to check out their new added item was between Violet Latte or Dirty Ube. Carmina has tried ube before in the Philippines. Although never saw it with organic coffee and wanted to check on why it is a new item in Teaspoon in Hayward, California. My tip is informing how much ice you want and sugar level we didn't have a chance to tell the person who had taken our order since it was our first time at Teaspoon . I was surprised after finishing my drink how much ice was placed in my Dirty Ube. Overall, the Dirty Ube was very good just too much ice to really enjoy it being super cold. It was great to try it with Organic Coffee with Organic Coconut Milk something refreshing to drink on a busy afternoon. Joanie had the Silky Strawberry and felt it was too sweet needed to add water to drain it down a bit. NOT SPONSORED. Subscrib
