1790 Sutter St
San Francisco, CA 94115

Ed U. writes: Congratulate me. I'm planning to ask the elderly woman behind the counter to marry me. And yes, you're invited to the wedding - it will be a simple yet tasteful affair at which my wife-to-be will cater it with all her baked goodies. Then I plan to…

Gary Danko
Neighborhood: Fisherman's Wharf

800 N Point St
San Francisco, CA 94109

Nish N. writes: I finally had the chance to dine at the esteemed Gary Danko and now understand what all the fuss is about. Given its reputation for culinary excellence with a price to match, I was expected more pretense.

But upon entering, immediately, it became…

Boulangerie
Neighborhood: Pacific Heights

2325 Pine Street
San Francisco, CA 94115

Kristina R. writes: In Korean culture, the hundredth day after a baby is born, you give a Paek Il shin dig, AKA: GLAD YOUR BABY DIDN'T DIE party.

735 Columbus Ave
San Francisco, CA 94133

Abendigo R. writes: Today my friend D. took me to Graffeo in North Beach, and gave me a tour of the coffee roaster which he built 17 years ago. It's one of the only fluid bed roasters in the world, where the coffee beans are treated like fluid.

I don't know if you've…

1705 Mariposa St
San Francisco, CA 94107

The Phoenix Pastificio

1250 Addison St
Berkeley, CA 94709

Gourmet G. writes: A family-owned and operated business with a staff that's genuinely nice instead of pompously pretentious. Service is slow only because there's a lone chef preparing everything, all of it cooked to order, and if patience is a virtue, a meal here is…

Zanze's Cheesecake

2405 Ocean Avenue
San Francisco, CA 94126

lulu p. writes: Ummm.... where is the FULL FAT version of this cheesecake?

Yes, it's so delicate that it must be sliced with fishing line (free gift with purchase). It must also be eaten with pinky raised.

At over $10 per mini-cake (the same size as a personal pan…

Cheese Board Pizza
Neighborhood: Gourmet Ghetto, North Berkeley

1512 Shattuck Ave
Berkeley, CA 94709

Ed to the M. writes: In my opinion, THE best pizza in the Bay Area. That's right, you heard. THE BEST.

Rosamunde Sausage Grill
Neighborhood: Lower Haight

545 Haight St
San Francisco, CA 94117

I certainly was…

Neighborhood: Russian Hill

800 Chestnut St
San Francisco, CA 94133

Adrienne G. writes: There have been moments in my life where I have been so absolutely stunned that I couldn't seem to lift my tongue and form a sentence. "Struck dumb" as a descriptor would do these moments an injustice, because it is almost as if my entire body…

Acme Bread Company
Neighborhood: Embarcadero

1 Ferry Bldg
Marketplace Shop #15
San Francisco, CA 94105

Kristina R. writes: I ate a whole loaf of their crusty Italian in one sitting. A crowd gathered and stared at me, it was so disturbing.

Neighborhood: Castro

212 Church St
San Francisco, CA 94114

Sun Fat Seafood Company
Neighborhood: Mission

2687 Mission St
San Francisco, CA 94110

Acquerello
Neighborhood: Nob Hill

1722 Sacramento St
San Francisco, CA 94109

Arizmendi
Neighborhood: Lakeshore, Lower Hills

3265 Lakeshore Ave
Oakland, CA 94610

Soo C. writes: As if it wasn't bad enough that Thanksgiving and Christmas just happened, or that it's too cold for me to go anywhere that doesn't provide a down comforter (read - no gym for me, only couches and beds), but then my best friend introduced me to the…

Arizmendi Bakery
Neighborhood: Inner Sunset

1331 9th Avenue
San Francisco, CA 94122

laura b. writes: The wolverine* rolls are vegan. Hold the presses. That shit tastes like it's made with cream, lard, mayonnaise, baby buttocks and all things magical and delicious but in reality, it's vegan! IN YOUR FACE, BABY BUTTOCKS!

Also, vegan cookies, awesome…

Chapeau!
Neighborhood: Outer Richmond

1408 Clement St
San Francisco, CA 94118

Chris T. writes: I overpaid and I am not being a total grouch about it. Lemme explain...

So everyone knows about their pretty slick deal of 3-courses for $38 and it isn't just on Tuesdays or before 6:00pm. It's every day, any time. French food usually isn't that…

La Palma Mexicatessen
Neighborhood: Mission

2884 24th St
San Francisco, CA 94110

Josua P. writes: I love coming here. It's like a candy shop for me.

There are all manner of Mexican food stuffs both fresh and canned. The mexicatessen part sells burritos and tortas but honestly I've never bothered. It's mostly about the tortillas for me. If you…

Liguria Bakery
Neighborhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill

1700 Stockton St
San Francisco, CA 94133

Liz L. writes: When I saw the mammoth line sprawling for blocks for brunch outside mama's on Washington square- I decided there were many things I'd rather do on this particular Sunday morning then wait in line for breakfast food. I've done it too many times for…

Monterey Market
Neighborhood: North Berkeley

1550 Hopkins St
Berkeley, CA 94707

Tokyo Fish Market

1220 San Pablo Ave
Berkeley, CA 94706

Mill Valley Market

12 Corte Madera Ave
Mill Valley, CA 94941

joe b. writes: Evidently I've become one of those yelpers who only gives 5-star reviews. Please understand, this is not because I eat rainbows and shit unicorns - I just can't be bothered to write a 'meh' review. (Honest.)

I have to admit, I've only been to the…

Patisserie Delanghe
Neighborhood: Japantown, Pacific Heights

1890 Fillmore Street
San Francisco, CA 94115

Kerry K. writes: Yes, another long and winding review. The upshot is, this is an excellent place to score some truly French baked treats. It's a husband and wife owned bakery.

Every time you go to a chain, God kills a kitten and a small indie business. So please…

Bakesale Betty's
Neighborhood: North Oakland, Temescal

5098 Telegraph Ave
Oakland, CA 94609

Darin I. writes: Cute, discreet, hookeriffic Japo twink lacking a gag reflex, 5'4" (yeah, that's accurate, fuck you) 117lbs, with an incredibly vulgar mouth, debilitating self-esteem issues, and a penchant for making promises he can't keep ISO a hot, smart,…

2001 Polk St
San Francisco, CA 94109

phil h. writes: *this review is based on the sandwiches I ordered at Cheese Plus and not the cheesy goodness they sell by the pound*

Guerra Quality Meats
Neighborhood: Parkside

490 Taraval St
San Francisco, CA 94116

rommy g. writes: I truly thought the day of the local, neighborhood butcher shop had passed. Guerra brought it all back in a blinding flash.

Jewish Community Center of San Francisco
Neighborhood: Laurel Heights

3200 California Street
San Francisco, CA 94118

Ed to the M. writes: I ain't hebrew, but I dig the Jews. I have Jew friends (this sounds startling like a "I'm not racist! I know black people!" thing). In fact, interestingly enough, I didn't know any white Jewish people until I moved to the Bay Area. You see, all…

Neighborhood: Oakland Chinatown

810 Franklin St
Oakland, CA 94607

Kokkari
Neighborhood: Financial District

200 Jackson Street
San Francisco, CA 94111

D K. writes: I took my high school debate team to Kokkari last week. Like all normal debate teams, the hole-to-pole ratio was way off, so of course my red-blooded boys promptly sat down at the bar and knocked back a few stiff Shirley Temples while discussing the…

Gioia Pizzeria
Neighborhood: North Berkeley

1586 Hopkins St
Berkeley, CA 94707

gwynnie p. writes: Excellent pizza. Seriously. Almost worth the trip to Berkeley from SF just for a slice. Throw in a visit to Monterey Market a few feet away to stock up on everything from rambutan to yellow onions, and definitely worth the journey.

Beware this is not…

Fifth Wheel

The Brick Pig's House
Neighborhood: North Oakland, Rockridge

5973 Shattuck Ave
Oakland, CA 94620

Lainie L. writes: BBQ - it belongs in the holy trinity of subjective food stuffs. . .burritos, pizza and BBQ. One man's perfect carnitas burrito is another man's "bitch, are you crazy? That shit was nasty!" burrito. Same for pizza - how many times have you seen a…
