Sweeteria, a coffee/tea and dessert spot from the owners of Kao Thai Restaurant, opened last month at 8646 Colesville Road. We stopped in to check about a specific dish that many have been raving about and were not disappointed. The Thai Tea Toast with Coconut Ice Cream, fresh fruit, and other goodies was as good as advertised. Already relatively popular in the short time it has been there, as evident by the multiple carry-out orders that were picked up in the short time we were there, Sweeteria is a charming cafe with a friendly staff and a tasty product.
We look forward to picking up some sweet treats again soon.

“Remember that guy that used to paint at Rio?” We sure do. If you ever walked through Rio between 2000-2016, you probably spotted George Petridis working on one of his beautiful paintings with a lot of his other artwork on display in the atrium of Rio just outside of the movie theater. For over 15 years, Petridis displayed his art and worked on new pieces surrounded by the bustle of the Rio crowd– often interacting with those who stopped to enjoy some of the work he had on display.
You’d be surprised to learn that Petridis didn’t actually live in MoCo, though he spent much of his time here while his art was on display at Rio. He was born and raised in Athens, Greece and didn’t pick up art until later in life while he was looking to become a cardiologist and fell in love with the daughter of a prominent artist in Belgium, who introduced him to painting. After participating in a show in Paris, he decided his passion would become his career and he joined his brother in Toronto, Canada.
