Wedge salad as good as ever. BBQ chicken pizza was a bit too sweet for me. Wasn't digging the BBQ sauce they used. I think if they had used more cilantro (as well as fresh cilantro on top at the end) it would have made up for it being overly sweet, but what do i know? ;) So far, the margherita pizza has been my favorite.

Really good wedge salad. Pizzas are good.
Pizza, salad, and a drink combo is $7!
They do a pretty hoppin' lunch service, so get their early.
Thank you Pogi's!!! You made my day today at Research Park.

Had the Yakiniku bento. It was on the salty and spicy side. Wasabi potato salad still great. Fruit is nice and fresh. Next time, I'm going to try the chicken karaage.

Ordered the chicken teriyaki bento. I ordered because they serve chicken thigh instead of the tasteless and dry chicken breast most everyone else serves. Delicious and cheap. The surprise of the bento was the wasabi potato salad. Pretty much my favorite part of the meal. Go Bento Truck - way to represent!
1. Pepperoni, sausage, olives and onions.
2. BBQ sauce, chicken, onions, and pineapple.
Crispy crust, plenty of fillings, and delicious.
Thank goodness I wrote this review, because I just remember the leftovers are in my trunk. Don't worry, they're left over from dinner.

like i said, i really like the pizza. and the crust is pretty good.
So, I ignored all the OS system upgrades from 2009-2012. Then I figured it was time to get on iCloud. Had to order Snow Leopard online (Apple Store didn't have it in stock), but routed it through the Apple Store. When it hit my AS(S), I got an email telling me it had arrived. So much better than that stupid tag on your door saying, "We couldn't deliver it because you weren't home."
Short story long, I love having an AS so close to home.

Very convenient to my place. The remodel has been worth every penny. Use the bathrooms in the food court. It's what a great mall restroom SHOULD be - a little nicer than your bathroom at home.

So, I guess what I'm saying is, it's delicious, the perfect (and by perfect, I mean, perfect) dessert for spring AND summer. Hope she continues this one indefinitely. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Wow, my last review of this place was in 2010???
Ok, I've many times for holiday pastries, and on other occasions for my own devious purposes. The quality has always been excellent. Here are the highlights:
Banana Tarte Tatin (6" round) caramelized sugar, butter and vanilla with bananas and puffed pastry added on top right before baking. Very delicious. The only thing I would have changed - slice bananas in half the long way so the layer of banana is thinner and not as texturally pronounced.
Apple Tarte Tatin (individual size) AMAZING. Loved every bite.
Bourbon Pecan cookie. A pleasant surprise! LOVED this cookie. A perfectly balanced cookie is the only way I can describe it.
Raspberry Macaron. Reminds me of the Pierre Herme macarons I had in Paris. LOVELY. DELICIOUS. DELICATE.
Vanilla Macaron. See above note.
Pistachio Macaron. See above note.
Some kind of Citrus Macaron. See above note. (My GF at the time brought some to me)
Raspberry Charlotte. Enjoyable, however, not my favorite.
And my friend said their Americano is the best she's tasted, because it's strong, whereas everywhere else is really weak. She also enjoyed the iced coffee, because it was iced with frozen coffee instead of just ice. -

browned butter cake topped with raspberries or poached quince.
possibly my overall favorite pastry at les madeleines. so moist and dense, without overpowering you with sweetness or richness. the only way i can explain the experience is by saying, whereas kouing aman reveals itself almost immediately, this pastry unfolds slowly. don't just pop it in your mouth, chew for a little bit and swallow. let it melt, and envelope your mouth and tongue in dark, buttery goodness. -

yuzu macaron: pistachio macaron is still my favorite, however, romina's yuzu macaron truly features the flavor of yuzu perfectly.
ginger panna cotta with israeli melon and a sweet shanghai peppercorn reduction/sauce: ever tasted something that made you feel, "i never knew something like this could exist?" it's the perfect balance between the peppery sweetness of the sauce and melon, and the bity acid of the ginger, with a wonderfully soft and luscious panna cotta as the grand marshal. -

ambience: B+ (under last stages of renovation)
casual cafe-esque dining (outdoor seating also available). a nice place to read, or update your online persona, all while enjoying pastry and beverage.
service: A-
polite staff. recommendations are concise. no fuss. (just how i like it.)
the fare: A-
surprises around every corner. the kouing-aman, and pistachio macarons were, quite frankly, mind blowing experiences.
kouing-aman: caramelized perfection. yes, ms. rasmussen's kouing-aman IS that good. flaky/sweet/buttery pastry you can bank on for any occasion.
pistachio button (macaron): pistachio buttercream perfection. yes, it IS that good. i love pistachios. i asked myself, "how could someone take a subtle flavor such as pistachio and make it a hero?" the answer took a mere $1-2 to find out.
panna cotta: just proper, no fuss panna cotta. velvety goodness infused with just enough vanilla bean to cut through.
mushroom bread pudding: a decent savory bread pudding, infused with, as far as i could tell, rosemary, olive oil, and button mushrooms. nice and firm bread crust on top, that gives way to soft silky egg/milk/butter/brea d. it will remind you of a VERY good homemade thanksgiving stuffing.

Full disclosure: I was pretty demanding when I ordered two simple pies at the counter. The server had to change out the pie twice because they had little blemishes on them. I wanted the pies to look like they had just come from heaven for the dinner party I was going to, and she finally found one that was without blemish. So, thank you to the server who helped me. She went above and beyond.
