Lunch today was not very healthy, but all those calories were definitely worth it. After church, we went straight to Phat Philly since none of them (Steve, Jann, Mae and Veronica) have been there before, and I’ve been raving about it since forever. They all enjoyed it. I went with their Italian beef sandwich this time, and though it was good, I definitely wished I had their a cheesesteak with cheddar beer sauce instead.
After lunch, we dropped by Anthony’s Cookies for some cookies. They’re so nice there and let us sample any cookies we wanted. It’s not as crazy as it was a couple months ago when I last went, but it’s still pretty busy there. I finally got to try their cookies and cream cookie, which felt like an Anthony’s Cookies cookie – thin, crispy, chewy – but with an Orea flavor.
Our last stop was Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream. We had to go there since Jann’s been wanting to go there since I first mentioned it months ago. The flavor that they had today that I haven’t had before was cinnamon brittle, so that’s what I had, plus a scoop of their hibiscus beet. I’ve been coming here at least once a week now for the past month or two. So this is where my money has been going!
Dinner was at Beretta with Jimson. It was way too dark there to get decent pictures, but we had bruschette of fava beans & pecorino, meatballs in spicy tomato sauce, and a grilled vegetables, tomato, pesto & mozzarella pizza with an egg on top. I always order pizza with egg whenever possible now.

how do you stay so fit w all that ice-cream, I luv ice-cream!
I guess I’m just blessed
Wow! You just totally hit three places (Phat Philly, Anthony’s Cookies, and Humphry Slocombe) on my list of must-try restaurants/cafe’s in SF! It would be my dream to try all of them in one day…except, unlike you, I don’t think I’m blessed with your seemingly amazing metabolism.
Got any other good recommendations?
Well, if you’re gonna be in that neighborhood, you also gotta hit up the rest of the Mission favorites: honey lavender and salted caramel ice cream at Bi-Rite Creamery, croissant and morning bun at Tartine Bakery, margherita pizza at Pizzeria Delfina, banana cream pie at Mission Pie, burrito at El Farolito, and Dynamo Donuts for a bacon maple donut, and that’s just to start!
