What happened to my vanilla soy? it wasn't there... disappointing. Still, there was a non-dairy option, so I can't complain too much.

    Since I'm lactose intolerant, my favorite thing about this joint is that they always have a vanilla soy yogurt. They don't have the most extensive choice of toppings, but it's enough. I think the draw of this place is the great location, especially during Second Saturday and the like. They have thick, quality yogurt, and friendly service.

Tops Yogurt

Cheap yogurt, meaning that it melts pretty quickly, but I could care less because the prices are great and they offer so many flavors!
I love frozen yogurt. It's like my favorite food group. And Tops obviously has a lot of toppings to add on top of their delicious yogurt.

Sway

Sway is a gem on the end of Telegraph. I would personally call it a college student's dream because the prices of the clothing is absolutely wonderful and affordable. Everything here is on top of the trends, made well, and really--there is a lot to choose from. You can even pick up basics like t-shirts and tanks here for good prices.
Sway has fashion shows for each season (two that I have been fortunate enough to be a part of) and these are not only a lot of fun, but have snacks and a sale for all that attend. This is a great idea, and I believe that a lot more boutiques should do the same.
Staff here is friendly and helpful. Be sure to check out the jewelry, and the shoes and bags upstairs!

DEEDA Salon  

Categories: Hair Salons, Skin Care
Neighborhood: East Sacramento

4.0 star rating

My first few experiences at this salon were not particularly memorable, but now that I see Karen Ko, I'm fairly happy with the results that I have had, so much that I do not see any need to continue my search for a salon in the Sacramento area. (that is to say, when I partially move to the bay area, I may want to find a salon there... we'll see.)
I'd say that the skill of the stylists that work here is hit or miss. I like Karen, and I believe that she is among the best. I've seen work from a few other stylists here, and have unfortunately experienced some others, and have not been happy with what I have seen.
The salon itself is clean, interesting, and plays great music. They recently redecorated and arranged their space, and it flows much more nicely. It seems a lot bigger in there, and it seems that they have a lot more open spaces to work.
Prices are reasonable for what Sacramento seems to offer, which is not to say much.

Selland's Market Cafe

Sellands has always been a fall-back for my family and friends when we don't know where to eat for lunch. I honestly wish that there were more places like this in Sacramento--I'd much rather dine at an establishment like this than some overpriced chain restaurant.
There are pizzas and sandwiches to choose from, as well as the hot and cold food behind the cases. Staff, for the most part, is very friendly and helpful. Also efficient.
I cannot tell you that much about the wine here--it looks like they have a fair amount to offer, however I cannot particularly say whether the staff know everything there is to know about it.
Do come here. The Selland group has certainly conquered food in the Sacramento area, and this place is definitely part of that.

Shoki Ramen House  

Categories: Japanese, Chinese
Neighborhood: Curtis Park

5.0 star rating
7/21/2011
Finally, good honest food. Really, it's ramen. And it's ramen done the way that it should be.
There is a wide variety of options here, given that they only serve ramen. You can have your ramen with wheat noodles if you wish, or rice, or vegetarian... It's really the only options that you need for a ramen house to offer.
I'm very happy that there is a place (well, a couple actually, as there are at least 2 Shoki's that I know of) in Sacramento that serves well-priced, wholesome food.
Please note, however, that both the restaurant in Curtis Park and the one... on R St I think, do not have that much seating to offer. It's worth the wait for a table, I guarantee.

Cafeteria 15L  

Category: American (Traditional)
Neighborhood: Downtown

I came here with a friend, and was very dissatisfied with how long it took to receive service. I believe this was due to the area being understaffed, but there were hardly any people working the area. At the same time, we were definitely acknowledged many-a-time by our soon-to-be-waiter, but he never actually stopped to talk to us and take our order. This is never a good way to get a good review.
All in all, the food was alright... a little sparse and bland. Sandwiches, okay, overpriced. A large helping of shoestring fries (which are my favorite), but not enough to make me want to give this establishment a better rating.

This was my favorite place to shop downtown, especially when I was on my way back to the bus tunnels after getting my hair cut at Vain down the street.
They staff here was very nice, and even gave me a discount when it was my birthday! I always found really awesome, street fashionable items to wear, and they had very reasonable sales racks.
Shoe variety is definitely awesome here--it's likely that there's a stack of boxes hanging around to be checked out, too.

Crush

The first time I came here, I was impressed beyond belief with the food and the ambiance. Fair portions, superb plating, etc. Everything you could want, hidden in a house on East Madison.
I then came here with a friend to treat her for dinner and was given a mind blowing experience with so much food I could barely move later on that night.

But the most recent time I went to Crush, I was beyond disappointed. Absolutely lousy service. I WILL notice when everyone around me is being attended to, and I will in fact notice what you aren't giving my party the same attention. Other parties also had their coats checked, and my party was left with out coats on our chairs. Sloppy. The food was edible, but nothing near as delectable as I remembered it being. Needless to say I was turned off, and subsequently had no intent thereafter to dine at Crush.

Old Soul at The Weatherstone

I typically go to this place to hang out if all of my friends are in the area. It's comfortable and has a great patio area (which comes in handy when some of your friends are smokers) and has a range of various types of seating. They serve beer, wine, and of course, the coffee that you can rely on. They also serve sandwiches and the like, but I have not been fortunate enough to have tried these just yet.
