I took a group of 16 in for a co-workers going away lunch. The large group hindered our service considerably, but the food was absolutely tasty. I had lamb (pieces, not shavings) on my greek salad and they were incredibly moist and flavorful.

Large group: I'm happy they accommodated us, and while the service took forever (two people had to have food to go by the time it arrived, one person didn't receive their plate at all!) , I have to say that's to be expected for large groups.

Great place for a quality sandwich and amazing bread.

I've passed this place several times and was attracted to the french bakery concept, but the industrial office building exterior kept me from trying it. I finally went in with a few co-workers and was thrilled. The interior is typical cute cafe, much nicer ambiance than what you'd expect from the building front. There's also a small patio in afternoon sun.

The place can get busy, but it's run very efficiently. The food is really good, and the bread is even better.

Free wi-fi.

The Best.

Everything you need. Except meat. But when I go I totally forget that they don't have meat... do I really need meat?

The best of the best of real, organic, high quality foods, herbs, body products and supplements.

Bring your own bag(s), and bottle(s) for bulk.

Come to think of it, I've got to go... I'm sure there's something I need from Rainbow! And if I don't, I'll find something!

I guess that means I have to put on some pants then, huh? =)

When I want pasta that truly reminds me of Italy, I go to Farina. Yes, it's expensive. Really, it's expensive. I spend money on food. I love food, but yup, did I mention, it is kinda expensive. But the pasta is good, and it's really Italian, and it's really good. Have a drink, save room for dessert, and the price tag? Forget about it.

I. Love. Little Star.

Seriously orgasmic pizza.

I go for the Classic, deep dish with a cornmeal crust. Fresh tomato sauce, and a perfect mix of classic ingredients that come together into a legendary pizza with the only crust I bother to eat! Two peeps? Go for the small, and save room for the crust!

Apparently there's homemade cheesecake, but I've yet to manage to save room... that's just how good the pizza is... maybe I'll just go for dessert someday? Nah! What am I, crazy?!

Late night of drinking and need that base of grease to line your tummy and ease the hangover to be? This is the place for you.

Whether it's brunch, or late night, there's rarely a long wait. But I have to say I've had dishes were sitting in pools of butter or oil... something that I am more forgiving of late night. I think this more because of what I order (if you're frightened by the pool concept stay away from the otherwise yummy Eggs in a Nest).

Want a "real" crepe? This is the only place you need to bother with. Fantastic crepes, whether its for breakfast or dinner, sweet or savory. Better yet, they have a selection of unique cocktails perfectly suited to compliment your crepe selections!

An adorable french cafe in an adorable San Francisco neighborhood, Cole Valley. Tuesday nights are bring your own wine, free corkage. Of course that means that Tuesday nights are my girls night!

But you know, you have to go for breakfast too because their mimosa's aren't to be missed. And when the weather permits, arrange to linger over your meal in true Parisian style on the back patio.

Just For You Cafe

After eating at Just for You nearly every weekend, and often twice on Fridays, I was ready to compare the beignets to "the real thing". So while in New Orleans I stopped by Cafe du Monde excited to try theirs. Um, well, I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed to report that Just for You's beignets are just for me. Seriously, they are *better* than "the real thing" at Cafe du Monde.

Oh, and besides that, I love their breakfast and the staff is adorable. Love that I've now become a regular, and they recognize me! :)

The sign on the wall boasts the world's best tacos and burritos, and I have to agree they are a little bit of fantastic. Order two tacos and try 'em with cheese and everything else they put on them. Beware of sticker shock, but trust me it's worth it!
