Really yummy Caribbean tacos, salads, plates. This is my favorite place for a quick lunch or an early dinner before a show.

Haven't been here myself, but my friends love it. Always wonderful to sit outside on a warm sunny Bay Area day! Everyone seems to love this place.

My favorite for all kinds of pastries and breads. Get yourself something and walk over to Coles Coffee for a cup o joe with the locals.

Philz led off the pour-over revolution. All kinds of varietals. If you don't mind standing around watching it drip drip drip drip.... no espresso machine. Does annoyance at that mean I am old? (If your answer is 'yes,' please don't tell me. Actually, I'm okay with age. :)

Great local coffee place. One of a kind... a rarity these days. People just hang there seemingly all day... though that must just be an illusion... my delusion...

Eat, Walk, Redwoods
Twenty minutes from my house is my favorite place to walk. Can't believe I live so close to massive Redwood Groves. Also, great views of the Bay from Skyline Blvd which you take to the park.
