I wanted to be at the San Francisco Airport’s Terminal 2 early for my flight to Washington DC on Virgin America so I could leisurely walk around and look for something to eat. Unfortunately the line was long and I had to drop off my luggage. It was a good thing I saw Napa FarmsContinue reading “Napa Farms Market @ SFO’s Terminal 2”

Contraband Coffee Bar
With only four and a half days in San Francisco and so many coffee places to try I was lucky enough to sample some of the best in the city. I’ve been to Blue Bottle Coffee, Sightglass Coffee Roasters and Ritual Coffee Roasters. On my last night I was able to get the chance toContinue reading “Contraband Coffee Bar”
La Boulange Bakery
I love French pastries and I swore I wouldn’t eat any since I was on a diet but La Boulange Bakery was right there in front of me. I was just going to Loehmann’s in Sutter Street. How should I know that next door was a bakery filled with temptation. Just to prove to youContinue reading “La Boulange Bakery”
Off The Grid: Food Trucks at Fort Mason Center
Food trucks are really popular in the USA specially in San Francisco. I didn’t think I would be able to eat at one considering my short stay in the city. After dropping off my luggage at the Marriott hotel Kit surprised me by saying we were going to Fort Mason Center where all the foodContinue reading “Off The Grid: Food Trucks at Fort Mason Center”
Marriott Hotel, Union Square, San Francisco
After my quick overnight trip to Napa Valley, we returned to San Francisco and I checked in to another hotel. This time I stayed in the newly renovated Marriott Hotel in Union Square. I love staying in hotels so I don’t really mind all the packing and unpacking. And since my friend Ariel works inContinue reading “Marriott Hotel, Union Square, San Francisco”
Ritual Coffee Roasters at Oxbow Public Market
One of San Francisco’s most popular coffee roasters, Ritual Coffee Roasters, had a branch in Oxbow Public Market in Napa Valley and I insisted that we go try it. They sold a lot of merchandise for coffee making. I saw an Aeropress, several Hario equipment (including the Buono kettle which I’ve been eyeing), Technivorm MoccamasterContinue reading “Ritual Coffee Roasters at Oxbow Public Market”
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”
Dinner at Cafe Des Amis
Whenever I travel I do extensive research on which restaurants I should try. Some are on my ‘wish list’ like French Laundry while several are more realistic and doable. San Francisco had tons of restaurants that I would like to try but I was only there for a few days so I had to pickContinue reading “Dinner at Cafe Des Amis”
Sightglass Coffee Roasters
I loved the Sightglass Coffee I had at Hooker’s Sweet Treats so much that I went to their store in the afternoon. It was a little less than a mile away from my hotel so I walked. I walk for coffee. There’s no distance to far or near for my beloved coffee. After consulting theContinue reading “Sightglass Coffee Roasters”
Hooker’s Sweet Treats
I’m not a big fan of caramels but I’ve read so much about Hooker’s sea salted caramels from several online sources that I wanted to try it and see what all the fuss was about. Hooker’s Sweet Treats was only a couple of blocks from Brenda’s and we really had to pass by Hyde StreetContinue reading “Hooker’s Sweet Treats”
