Philz serves a variety of vegan organic donuts Pepples Donuts. $2.
Small mocha tesora coffee. $3
Philz Coffee, San Francisco CA
Pepples donuts are cakey and pretty much covered in glaze. While I enjoy that they’re vegan and organic, that thick sweet sugary glaze was just too much! Philz coffee is still my favorite. I swear there’s crack in it or something, lol!
Purple-blue Iochroma cyaneum (Solanceae) flowers, Roosevelt Way.
“Tender, juicy Chicken McNuggets made with white meat, wrapped in a crisp tempura batter Made for sharing, if you want ’em all to yourself, then that’s our little secret.” With tangy barbeque dipping sauce. 950 calories, 60 g fat. 20 piece $4.99
McDonald’s, South San Francisco CA
The product descriptions on company websites are always SO funny. We all know that McNuggets are rarely tender or juicy and the spongy meat puree they’re made of no longer resembles white chicken meat. But I’ll admit that my brain has subscribed to all the advertisements since childhood and I sporadically crave these horrible snacks. I was particularly hungry so I ordered the 20 piece, lol! What?! It’s a value! 🙂

Bridge along the San Francisco Bay Trail.
Beef, bell pepper, onion, tomato, and mushroom. Served with rice and refried beans. $8.75
Chava’s Restaurant, San Francisco CA
Ugh, this was the first time I’ve been here and I wasn’t impressed. The beef was super chewy and the whole thing just had a weird flavor. You should never name a dish after your restaurant if it isn’t very good. 😦
Tortilla chips and salsa. These chips tasted old and were stale, ew.
Extra corn tortillas.
Stir fried rice sticker noodles with shrimp, egg, fried tofu, scallion, ground peanut and bean sprouts. $8.50
Pad Thai Restaurant, San Francisco CA
This restaurant’s pad thai always has a lot of flavor, but sometimes it can be on the dry side. This time around, the shrimp and eggs were overcooked. Ugh!
Red tipped hens-and-chicks (Echeveria sp., Crassulaceae), Divisadero Street.
I liked how this pastry wasn’t overly sweet. It looks like a cute, little empanada! $2.50
Cafe Flore, San Francisco
Coffee. $2
Random planter and colorful house number.
Shallot confit, arugula, mayo, preserved lemon. $9
Pig & Pie, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was VERY good! My one food critique would be that the sausage could have been seared a little more – it was difficult to tear through the skin. I also had to wait a REALLY long time for it, but I guess this was OK since it was yummy!
Purple crossberry or lavendar starflower shrub (Grewia occidentalis, Malvaceae), Dolores Street.
I like the crusts at Marcello’s. It’s on the thin side and has a great combination of chewiness and bite. Slice $4.20
Marcello’s Pizza, San Francisco CA
Rainbow flag in The Castro.
Fresh mushrooms, onion, tomato, two poached eggs, and cheddar cheese. Served with hash browns and wheat toast. $8.25
Red Cafe, San Francisco CA
This small, busy neighborhood diner in the Mission serves delicious breakfast standards at very reasonable prices. The service is friendly and quick, but be prepared to wait unless you can squeeze yourself into the counter since this place is a popular breakfast joint. My food was no-frills, straight forward, and tasty.
Wheat toast with assorted jellies.
Coffee. $1.90
Beef in chili sauce with ground peanut, bell pepper, kaffir lime leaves and fresh basil with coconut cream. $9.50
Pad Thai Restaurant, San Francisco CA
Panang curry is probably my favorite type of Thai curry. I love that Pad Thai will actually add some real heat to their dishes when you request them “spicy”. Mmm!
Pink river lily or crimson flag flowers (Hesperantha coccinea, Iridaceae), Roosevelt Way with Twin Peaks in the distance.
This had great flavor, but I was disappointed by its texture. It wasn’t waxy like some of the other scoops I’ve had here, but it was icy and very crumbly. Humphry Slocombe seems to be very inconsistent with their ice cream and I haven’t been blown away during any of my recent visits. Single scoop $3.25
Humphry Slocombe, San Francisco CA
Morning at Mission Dolores Park with Christian Science Church in the background.
These fries were limp, but flavorful. They weren’t very smokey however. I did appreciate the generous portion. $3
Pig & Pie, San Francisco CA
Condiments tote.
Purpletop vervain, clustertop vervain flowers (Verbena bonariensis, Verbenaceae), 17th Street.
Marinated pork with rice, beans, cilantro, salsa, onions, cheese, avocado, and sour cream. Served with corn totilla chips. $6.50
Taqueria Cancun, San Francisco CA
Wow, this place is a mad house at 2 AM! I was in desparate need of food so I stumbled into this joint for a large, delicious burrito. I’m pretty sure it was good, I think… Lol! The intercom announcing the order numbers is REALLY loud, but I supposed that’s necessary at that hour. 🙂

The Monkeybutts! I thought this was quite the band during Sunday Streets in the Mission. They were playing in front of the SF Library Mission Branch to the delight of many kids and parents.
