The Jelly Donut
I’ve been having a craving for donuts for a few weeks and had this free 50% off discount coupon from a shop called The Jelly Donut. I had looked it up and it got good reviews. This past Saturday, the kids both fell asleep in the car so we had to kill some time. It...
Leonard’s Bakery
After a great breakfast at Cafe Kaila, we stopped off at the nearby Leonard’s for some malasadas. The parking lot was jammed so I parked on the side street and ran in with Anna and Emma waiting in the running car. I took Lilly in as she was not liking her car seat one bit....
Aphrodite’s Organic Café and Pie Shop
Towards the end of our trip in Vancouver we were finally able to arrange a get together with our family friends (brother and sister and their respective spouses) for breakfast. It was difficult finding an open day since between their families and ours we had eight kids all with different schedules that we had to...
Steeve Raye Pastry
I had read that the croissant was pretty good so wanted to try for myself. The place was empty when I got there. There was a display case with all the pastries in front of me and plenty of seating. The first thing I noticed was the croissants looked unusually dark almost like they were...
Anna’s Cake House
My parent’s friends raved about this place. They said every time they visit relatives in the Bay Area they are asked to make sure they bring the bread and chocolate cake from this place. And we aren’t talking one or two loaves and a few pieces of cake. They pack a box full of the...
Transylvania Traditions Bakery
On the recommendation of our friends Jason and Veronica, we headed to this bakery to try something called kürtos kalács. We got there in the morning and had to wait about 15 minutes before the place opened. We headed to Shoppers to kill some time and to see if they carried a ginger bread house...
Pinkie’s Bakery SF
I wanted a coffee and decided to grab a Macau Iced Coffee at Vega. I remembered it was on Folsom around 8th so parked just west of 8th. As I walked towards Vega I passed by Pinkie’s Bakery which I had read about so decided to grab some baked goods! The bakery itself is really...
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
While making the chicken piccata tonight I decided to be ambitious and make chocolate chip cookies at the same time. Why whole-wheat? I had a couple of leftover bags of whole-wheat flour sitting around and came across this recipe from Kim Boyce’s Good to the Grain book. What cinched it was the reviews that I...
Anthony’s Cookies
On my way home from work today, I stopped by Anthony’s Cookies to pick up some cookies. I didn’t realize it was so close to my place and only a block and a half from the newest location of Arizmendi Bakery! Anthony’s has a core group of cookies they always produce and then rotate special cookies...
Mission Minis
Stopped by Mission Minis to pick up some mini cupcakes for the first time. The small storefront is on 22nd Street between Mission and Capp. When I got inside there was no one but me. At $1 a pop, it seemed a bit steep given the cupcake size but in the end I ordered eight...
