This place always has a line out the door (partially because only 8 people can sit at a time). Get your order to go if you don't want to wait. Tea leaf salad and garlic noodles = perfect dinner.

Neighborhood spot that's perfect for small bites and treats any time of day. Rotating menu, but the chocolate chip cookies are always amazing and the Rebel Inside muffin has a whole egg hidden inside.

Essentials
Despite the fact that I saw a live pigeon wandering around inside once, I still tout them as a good spot for basic groceries close to our apt. Fresh produce, organic foods & a mean $6 ban mi sandwich.

Shopping
The clever-est Pirate Storefront you ever shall see. Technically a front for Dave Eggers' youth literacy program, you'll get a laugh from the decor & enjoy a few minutes of zen in the fish theatre.
