Art Major Studio

A new art studio called Art Major has opened in La Quinta. The studio is a hands-on art enrichment center with materials for art explorers to paint, collage, tinker and design. It is located near Vons in the center that is at the southwest corner of Washington Street and Highway 111.

Founder Allie Baker says the mission is to encourage artistic confidence and inspire colorful minds in a positive, feel-good environment. Art Major provides classes, open crafting, birthday parties, events for teens and adults along with gifts. Summer camps will be offered, as well.

Art Major has already become a popular spot for birthday parties, which include a birthday card-making station, a featured craft for each artist, and a designated party area with tables and chairs.

Crumbl

A franchise of the fast-growing cookie company known as Crumbl is now open in La Quinta, thanks to franchise owners and La Quinta residents, the McFarland Family. Crumbl’s concept of a rotating menu introduces different flavors weekly inspired by popular flavors, foods and desserts such as pies, cakes and candies. Their award-winning milk chocolate chip cookie is always on the menu, and there is a “mystery cookie” flavor each week that varies by location.

The cookies are presented to customers in pink packaging by a team member who opens the box to show each customer their order. The first store opened in Logan, Utah, in 2017 by cousins Jason McGowan and Sawyer Hemsley. In just 5 years, Crumbl has expanded to over 600+ bakeries in 47 states nationwide.

Crumbl is located at 46480 Washington Street, Suite 2, in La Quinta.

Cali Rosina Tea

The cooler temps in the winter months mean it’s tea time, and Cali Rosina Tea & Chocolate in the La Quinta Village offers options that can be brewed for you in the shop or loose leaf teas that you can take home to make your own.

Selections include Guayusa Lime, Royal Orange, Chai, Jasmine Orange, Matcha, Cherry Cinnamon, Misty Grey and more. Cali Rosina also serves hot chocolate, sipping chocolate (a blend of Belize, Madagascar and spicy chocolate, topped with macadamia cold foam) and coffee plus a variety of toasts, bagels and bowls.

Cali Rosina Tea & Chocolate was created by brother and sister duo, Josh and Jodie Smith, who wanted to bring loose leaf tea, herbs and chocolate to their community. They carry gifts and tea accessories, as well.
