Sunny days are back and so is my ice cream craving. I haven’t been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous enough lately. All of their flavors have completely changed since the last time I’ve been there. This time, my new favorite is their basil chocolate chip ice cream. Basil is a flavor I love, though it’s [...]

Haters gonna hate but there’s no doubt that Sprinkles Cupcakes is the mother of cupcakes. They set the benchmark for cupcakes over five years ago and I still find myself eating them. This flavor is new to me – dark chocolate banana cupcake. The cake was like banana bread and very moist. The frosting is [...]

French Macarons at Cocola Bakery in Palo Alto

February 10th, 2013 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, French / Leave A Comment

After having just returned from Japan, I’ve been craving macarons. After all, Japan is like the next best thing to Paris when it comes to patisseries. (Or maybe it’s even better?) Cocola Bakery has some good macarons – definitely not like the high-end ones that I’ve had in Japan, but more worth what you pay [...]

If you like French macarons, then the Fillmore Bakeshop is another place to try if you haven’t yet. Their macarons are on the fat and round side and are filled with different flavored butter cream.

Must Eat Honey Toast at Milk & Honey Cafe in San Gabriel

Honey toast served at Milk & Honey Cafe, and it’s good! Not too sweet, huge, as expected, and each piece inside nicely toasted. The custard was nice, and it came with two scoops of ice cream – vanilla and chocolate. I didn’t sense much honey, though, but it was still good. Drinks are good. Snacks [...]

Indian summer just wrapped up and the weather is cooling down, but in San Francisco, it’s never too cold for ice cream, even when it’s freezing cold. Before ice cream became a fad in the city, Mitchell’s Ice Cream was the king. Well, I’m sure many still consider it the best in the city. My [...]

If you’ve ever been to a Bouchon Bakery, you’ll see why they’re the king when it comes to French macarons. Their macarons are king-sized! You can actually share one with a friend or two, which I recommend, so you can try multiple flavors. Their croissants were also super flaky. Perfect. Their ice cream sandwich was [...]

Must Eat Spicy Italian Sandwich and Oreo Mousse Cake at V. Sattui Winery in Saint Helena

As a responsible DD during my recent Napa trip, I had only option to do – eat. The deli at V. Sattui Winery offers a lot of freshly pre-made (oxymoron?) sandwiches. My favorite was their spicy Italian – ham coppa, saluma & mozzarella in a ciabatta bun makes for a perfect combo. Their sides were [...]

Breakfast and Shakes at St. Francis Fountain

September 6th, 2012 by Jonas / Filed under American, Dessert, Food / Leave A Comment

St. Francis Fountain must be a fat vegan’s dreamland – plenty of vegan options to choose from, and they even offer vegan ice cream for dessert. But I’m not vegan and I need my meat. My order of their country breakfast, which consisted of biscuits and sausage gravy, eggs and home fries was excellent, but [...]

I know it sounds kinda weird, but blueberry plus sour cream on a pie crust actually made a great combo. As far as I know, this can only be found at Heidi’s Pies in San Mateo. I also really liked their fresh peach pie, which was seasonal. Their custard pie I could do without – [...]
