Craftsman & Wolves

The Mission district is home to tons of food spots frequented by a younger urban crowd. From Ike’s to Bi-Rite to Dr. Teeth, this neighborhood is a popular one for a reason, and I recently got to cross off another place off my list – Craftsman & Wolves. With an interesting name, interesting (rustic urban?) …

Universal Cafe

Last weekend, a family friend of mine drove up to visit me in the city. I’d barely moved in but was put in charge of finding a good place to enjoy a Sunday morning brunch. After some quick researching online, the results kept pointing to a particular eatery in the Mission. Called Universal Cafe, this …

Cafe M

Since a lot of my readers are in the Bay Area over the summer, I’d like to highlight an awesome breakfast place – a definite must-try if you’re in Berkeley. Cafe M is located at the Fourth Street shops, a swankier part of town nestled between the freeway and the more industrial areas of Berkeley – …

Yi Mei Deli Co

I’ve been featuring a lot of breakfast spots lately, so I thought I’d throw a Taiwanese-style breakfast place into the mix. Perfect timing since I’m back at SoCal, the land of the abundant (and tasty) Asian eateries. Yi Mei Deli Co has been around for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family …

Rick & Ann’s Restaurant

Berkeley has its fair share of amazing breakfast eateries, so I was surprised to be recommended one that I’d never heard of in my four years living in the area. I’m glad I got to try the place out – it was a unique and tasty experience. Rick & Ann’s Restaurant, as this place is …

Saul’s Restaurant & Delicatessen

Fridays are perfect for enjoying a filling breakfast – it’s the end of a long week and right before the weekend. Why not stop for a quick treat before heading to the last classes of the week? After nearly four years, I finally had the chance to eat at Saul’s Restaurant & Delicatessen, located on …

Fire Sign Cafe

My friends and I spent the past weekend at Tahoe. We had a blast snowboarding and chilling, but we had just a good a time exploring and discovering new eateries in the area. Fire Sign Cafe is a family-run business (since 1978!) located in Tahoe City, close to Homewood Mountain Ski Resort. It was brunch …

Black Bear Diner

It was a beautiful Saturday morning and I’d just woken up, hungry for some quality brunch. My roommates and I decided to hit up IKEA for some cheap and tasty food. But alas! The line stretched beyond the line dividers, and we were starving by then. So we decided to try out a brand new …

La Note

Since coming to Cal, I’ve consistently heard this restaurant mentioned whenever people talked about great places to enjoy brunch. I was definitely intrigued but never got around to going – until this visit. I’m glad to say that I can confirm what people have been raving about. It was a Sunday morning, and La Note …
