Second visit to them today and I brought along the hubby. I tried the Latte this time and it was super creamy-yummy. Hit the spot! We learned about their super chocolate cookies that is more chocolate than cookie and I had to get one for Lawrence. He is a coffee and chocolate connoisseur. The cookie review = fudgolicious!

    So nice and super convenient (right across the street from our office). They use a French Roast in their individual drips that is roasted just for them. I'll be back!

I love their jersey tights and matching jersey scarves. They are my fall and winter uniform! I usually shop online but sometimes it is nice to go to the store itself.

I also have their grey sheets on our bed and I wish they had more colors. White just won't satisfy.

Wonderful breakfast sandwich and they serve Blue Bottle! I wish I had known that before I bought a Peet's coffee but next time. Also, the staff was sweet as pie.

They don't have an IPA. What is up with that? Good Red Ale and decent Pale Ale. My mom and I shared the fried artichokes, mushrooms (free to us due to an ordering mistake), Ahi tuna, and a Cobb salad. My mom thought she did not like Cobb salads but this changed her mind. I'd go back for a Pale Ale and a Cobb anytime.

Had as good of a time as you could possibly have while accompanying my mom for her procedure. We started with Mr. Wonderful and finished with his "work wife". Great conversation ensued. Fabulous test results at the end.

Looking for a beer before a movie at the Embarcadero theater and a place to hide out from Occupy protests and the misty rain. They had Speakeasy and Racer 5 on tap. I did not partake in the eats. They would not allow me to sit at the bar when I first got there because they bartenders "were not ready yet". I sat in a booth instead.

Love me some Nations. Grilled cheese, burger, BLT, pancakes, French Toast, pie, milk shakes. This particular location is a favorite because it used to be a post-high-school-football-game hang out. Good times, good times!

Never been to one of these before. I guess they are an import from Florida. Fun place to browse!

I haven't been here in YEARS! What a cute theater. I have to get back here for a show soon. I used to take acting classes here as a wee one. I was recently there to honor an old friend and was reminded of the greatness that is CCCT.

I don't understand what all of the complaints are about. My mom and I sat at the bar last night. We had wonderful service and even got a free taste of an appetizer. I started with an Arrogant Bastard on tap and my mom got a bottle of one of her favorite local wines, after confirming that if she didn't drink the entire thing (which she wouldn't) she could take it to go. YES!

I had the beef short ribs and a side salad for only $4. I picked the warm spinach salad. My mom chose the Chicken Cordon Blue. My mom had had that dish before and this time it was a little different but it was equally yummy, in her opinion. Mine was so good I wanted to lick the plate (both the salad and the short ribs).

I would go back anytime!
