My friend and co-blogger Jin invited to try out her new cake creations at UCC Vienna Cafe. She promised to feed me first so after a long perusal of the menu I finally found something healthy and almost “Cohen” approved. The yakiniku beef was so tender and flavorful with all the sauce that I didn’tContinue reading “New Cakes from UCC Vienna Cafe”

My silly cousin Sharon works around the cornerContinue reading “Chinatown Coffee”

Napa Farms Market @ SFO’s Terminal 2

Clover Brewing System at Starbucks SF
I can’t remember how I first learned about the Clover Brewing System but I was really curious to see in action. This machine was developed by some Stanford students in 2006 and Starbucks bought them out in 2008. Not all Starbucks stores have the Clover machine but lucky for me the branch at Hotel NikkoContinue reading “Clover Brewing System at Starbucks SF”
