Highly reliable, fresh & satisfying every time I lunch here.

The California Plant Burger is my favorite veggie burger ever. That deeply hued red-purple beet/lentil/bulgar/cashew/mushroom vegan patty is sooooooo good. Mmm.

The Vegetable Masala Stew with toasty, spongy, stretchy Roti maybe be the most delectably healthy indian lunch in downtown SF. It's also the least pricy meal on the menu ($6). You can add a protein (tofu or chicken) for a couple dollars, but I never have.

The only downfall I've experienced is the Green Curry: amazing lime/coconut sauce but basically drowning a pile of rice & still-crisp vegetables leaves me wanting more.

Moderately expensive & worth it!

Awesome lunchtime spicy vegetarian burrito fix!

The truck was missing from the corner for weeks in late December & early January. It's back, now.

Found out about this place via thrillist http://www.thrillist.c...

Shared with friend a small light meal of:
 - guacamole chilango (fresh thick corn chips, roasted salsas)
 - tamales (fresh corn, cotija cheese, masa/butter [no lard!], roasted poblano rojas).

Both super fresh & flavorful with sweet service.

A true gem of heartfelt teachings, balanced flows & creative expression. Every teacher offers a unique, personal perspective. Most every class is different.

Every person is dynamic & unique in their own way. LL teachers respect that. So beautiful.

Moved to the city and needed a trustworthy person to look after my furry sweetheart while out of town. I found Melissa here on Yelp. She's been sweet & flexible with my sometimes wavering plans, and has now cared for kitty during two of my trips. Kitty hardly acknowledges I've been gone! Thanks Melissa!

Ultimate vegetarian comfort food in a cozy spot. "Fish & chips" with tempeh or seitan?! Really? The yam/avo/pepita Wako Taco is suspiciously delicious. Steely Dan po' boy kicks out caper sass over buttery steelhead flesh.

Unfindable unless you know where it is; horsefish is more art & less sign than to be helpful.

Never would have guessed that's an outdoor patio on the otherside of the dance floor... until the sun came up!

How many starry-eyed hours danced amongst hot strangers? How many $4 Fiji waters drunk? Where did this raver's pulsing light stick come from? (Party favor?)

First experience: I bike across town Monday at lunch (~1pm) to buy a new unlocked phone. The store is "closed", despite business hours clearly signed as 11:30 to 6:30.

Frustrated but not be-grudged. Will try again.

-----

I Cell wouldn't answer their phone later that afternoon to verify openess, so instead I headed to Sunrise Wireless in The Inner Richmond. They were closed too, despite hours posted clearly til 8pm.

What's up with these tiny independent shops in San Francisco? How do you get business if you're not open?

Funny thing, across Clement St. from Sunrise Wireless is another I Cell location, & they're open!

The guy behind the counter wanted to charge me "retail price" for an unlocked Motorola KRZR without a service contract. That's over $300 for a phone I can buy on Amazon for $155. Ouch.

I followed up with a lead on Craigslist, and the next day had an unlocked KRZR for $155.

To I Cell: Please sell unlocked phones without a plan for a reasonable price!

As a pesco-vegetarian who loves Indian food, this place is a dream. Totally satisfied with the divine tea leaf salad, samosa soup, sauted broccoli, & pumpkin prawns [delicious curry-like] with squash... all shared with my friends.

No room for desert this time. Must. Save. Room. Next time.

Note: We arrived at 6pm on Sunday. The tightly spaced dining room was packed; a thirty-minute wait. This might have made it no-go had the sky still been sputtering. Totally worth the crowd.

Update Wednesday, 26. March 2008:
Rating goes + one-star as I am now a regular for the black Kyoto-style [cold brew] iced coffee. Many days it's like coffee liqueur, a rich caramel character without bitterness. Caffeination supreme. Very visible bicycle racks just across little Mint St.

-----

Found Blue Bottle this lovely Sunday morning, just as the rain showers sputtered out. Very surprised to see it PACKED for BRUNCH. Yes real food. Contrary to other reviews, BBC isn't just coffee. Maybe the food is just a Sunday Brunch thing?

All the menu items looked delicious, but I wanted a place to chill out for a quiet coffee & reading time; BBC is definitely not on that vibe today. Ordered an espresso anyway, to sample the java. They delivered a short double with beautiful dark crema. Honestly, to dark & smokey for my taste... I like a lighter, fruitier bean/roast.

The siphon coffee looks interesting. Will definitely return for further exploration.
