Getting a ham, cheese, egg crepe. Basically a breakfast burrito, but Brittany style.

Amazing, plus the chef is quite handsome. His partner is lucky.

Brunch!

I never realized that there was a little cafe in the Inn, but there is! It even has a nice view, if you're tired of Louis' or Cliff House. On weekends and holidays, they offer brunch. It's standard brunchy stuff. I mean, how can you go wrong with eggs benedict or florentine?

The prices are very reasonable and the staff is very friendly. There's a garage, but I'm sure it's just for people staying at the Inn, but there's ample street parking, so no problem there. 5 stars!

zOMG...

I've been meaning to come here for YEARS. All the b*tches at Sephora always talked about it. They were right for once.

Peruse some very nice stuff for dirt cheap--most of it is acceptable, though there's the occasional tear that is not quite worth it. But that's the magic of Jeremy's--its' offerings are not perfect, but most of it is completely acceptable and knocked down to normal clothes prices.

I shall be back!

So the ambiance is very cute. It's retro diner-like with a modern twist with nelly boa flair. Perfect!

It is a bit weird to get carded at the door of a restaurant, then carded less than 60 seconds later at your table for a drink. Srsly, Mary, card once and be done with it.

The food is adequate, and the full bar offers plenty for everyone's tastes. I ordered the chicken strips--tasty, and more than I could eat. They obviously were bought, but I don't mind tasty pre-made on occasion.

It has Double Rainbow ice cream, need I say more? This is a nice treat when taking friends on a Chinatown tour.

The bathroom is nasty and smells worse. All things considered, it's SF Chinatown (dirty, dingy, well past its prime and lost its self-respect sometime after the Fabulous 50s).

The place is gorgeous, very tall ceilings, the staff is very friendly and the brunchy offerings are not bad if you're in the mood.

We had "bottomless" (they give you a massive carafe) mimosas, and the Tex Mex Scramble. Though we found the bottom of our mimosas, it's unclear whether they would refill it--we didn't need more though. WHEW!

I wish this place was closer to me. I'd be a regular patron, I'm sure.

    Today, I found a wonderful alternative to the blah Starbucks. Philz Coffee!

    I have walked by this place a million (read: ZILLION) times before, but never had seen it. It was RIGHT in front of my eyes! I mean, it's almost across the street from my favorite Castro hangout (The Mix), but what's the only coffee place that comes to mind? The yucky Starbucks right next door to The Mix.

    A friend and I needed a little pick-me-up today towards the evening part of the Castro Street Fair. We were beat and had been out late the night before. Phil's Coffee certainly hit the spot.

    I'm no coffee connoisseur, however I do know good coffee when I taste it. Blue Bottle is my reining favorite, but this place might give it a good run for it's money.

    WHAT I HAD: I had a simple small Ether coffee with sugar and cream. They put the sugar and cream into the concoction before they hand it to you, so I LOVE this. They know just the right amount to add as well. The drip coffees, which I believe are all they serve, are made in these little individual and specially made bowls that have a place for the coffee filters. They add just the right amount of grounds and water, and Voila! Perfect coffee.

    Considering they don't have a super specialized form of making the coffee, like Blue Bottle and its patented science lab, this is quite good stuff.

Any place that is busy till almost 3pm (lunch rush is traditionally over by 1:30) must be good. They have complimentary coffee while you wait--a nice touch. Thank you Snooze.

This place is gorgeous, the staff is beyond friendly, and the food and drink options are heavenly.

I had a peach mimosa, the yummy breakfast tacos and then another mimosa, I believe the name of it is the Snooze Hi-C (pomegranate liqueur, bubbly, grapefruit juice and some other liqueur--delicious). For the tacos, I recommend adding another cheese to compliment the jack that comes on it. I also added sausage to mine. YUM!

My friend ordered the Breakfast Pot Pie, and I admit, I was a little jealous. He swooned over it, and it certainly smelled delicious. I'll be trying that next time.
