We were actually going to have another meal after a short 15 minute walk, but the place we wanted (Ann’s Gyoza House) was closed at 2:30 until dinner time. We walked around the complex, and found Belle Epoque. We were looking for a nice cafe break anyway.
Thanks to my friend’s kind delivery, I FINALLY got to try the fancy donuts from Cartems Donuterie. In the half dozen box were the infamous Earl Grey donuts, along with Mexican mole, Triple choclate threat, and the daily special: coconut cream.
The Waffle Window was the first place we ate at in Portland. Knowing this was the first of many spots we are going to eat that day, we ordered 2 savoury and 2 sweet waffles to share.
49th Parallel on Main is also home to Lucky’s Doughnuts. This spacious coffee shop combined with their own selection of doughnuts, makes it a great place to relax and hang out.
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is every where. They offer lots of different chocolatey and caramely snacks. From Caramel Apples and Fudge to Nutty Caramel Popcorn and Ice Cream. We stopped by this time after a meal at Splitz Grill, and wanted to kill some time before watching the Avengers.
Remember the days when Krispy Kreme was first open and there were line ups 24/7 for these uber sugary donuts? That was about the last time I visited Krispy Kreme.
Tartine Bakery was on my list of places to visit for breakfast/brunch, but we actually only got up early enough one time. We walked by Tartine Bakery by accident actually, and it was closing time. Since I only tried a couple small things I’m not going to provide a rating.
Bi-Rite was one of the two Ice Cream places in San Francisco we wanted to try out. The other one was Mitchell’s. We unknowingly walked to Bi-Rite while doing a lot of exploring that day. We basically took a taxi from Tenderloin (where our hotel was) over to Alamo Square, then walked to Haight Ashbury for some shopping, then over to Castro, then through Mission, to our last stop of Incanto in Noe Valley.
A few weeks ago my friends and I were hanging out on Robson street, and we decided to stop by Michi Waffle & Espresso Bar for some dessert.
I’ve had quite an afternoon tea weekend, one home made with friends and one at Faubourg in Kerrisdale.
Faubourg bakery is super busy on weekends. When we tried to make a reservation for high tea, we were instructed to leave a voicemail to make the reservation. We didn’t get any phone calls back, but we went anyway. We ended up waiting for an hour and a half for a table for high tea.
Tea Poached Asian Winter Pears with Chocolate Spice Infused Cream. These special tea inspired recipes were created by Nathan Fong just in time for Chinese New Year 2011. I haven’t personally tried out these recipes, so let me know what you think. They feature different teas from Four O’Clock Teas.
This weekend we went to Chambar for dinner with our guest writers to celebrate year 1 of MePlusFood.com
We had a great meal there that lasted 3 hours from appetizers to desserts.
For appetizers we tried the Poutine, Grilled Ostrich, Foie Gras, and Bison Carpaccio.
