“Never disappoints! Always a great time at Logan's candy shop. There is nothing in the world like a warm candy cane. And Jerry does a fabulous presentation as he makes them for us. This is our 10th year going and we wouldn't miss it for anything in the world. Christmas is not complete without it!”

“I love Seabirds and always make a concerted effort to stop by every time I'm in town. I love the bibimbap bowl is my favorite and go to item. And I always get the brussel sprouts too. Highly recommend it!”

1160 Sixth St, Berkeley, CA 94710, United States

“You ever find a brewery that treats you like home? But with great IPAs and other beers? This spot not only has the local flair but the service and hospitality to go along with the beer. As an unfiltered IPA guy, the Pulp is the go to. Kieran, the legend behind the counter, also ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience. He even went above and beyond regarding a memorabilia snafu. Second time visiting, years apart, and yet it felt like I never left. 🍻 10/10 🍻”

1801 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94121, United States

“Good Turkish food, excellent service and vibe of the restaurant. Had birthday dinner with my family outdoors on a nice day. We had a few appetizers (manti, meatballs, stuffed zucchini) and I ate the braised short rib and tried some stuffed eggplant as well. The staff also lit a candle on a cake for my birthday celebration which was really nice. Food was on par, price wise, with San Francisco standards, especially in the Richmond area. Felt good eating the food, which was served with a lot of vegetables. Will need to try it for breakfast next time I’m in the area.”

2000 Union St, San Francisco, CA 94123, United States

“"I recently dined at Wildseed San Francisco and was pleasantly surprised by the fantastic vegan options. The paella and autumn salad were standouts, with cheese that tasted unbelievably good for being vegan. While a few dishes were just okay, the overall experience was delightful. The servers were incredibly sweet and accommodating, adding a positive touch to the meal. Definitely a great spot for those seeking delicious plant-based dining!"”

301 C St, Davis, CA 95616, United States

”Wednesday picnic in the park! Goes from 4-8 p.m. The band was legit! Played a wide array of music. Different varieties of food trucks were there. There are cold fruit drinks available for purchase at a few "stands". I enjoyed the atmosphere! Had a fun time. Will return in the future. Of note...not all of the vendors take debit or credit card so make sure to bring some cash with you!”

3305 Tyler Ave, El Monte, CA 91731, United States

”Not your average fro-yo place. From Smoothies and yogurt, to being able to scan, copy and print. This place is a healthy hang out. Service is always fast and friendly. Their smoothies are naturally sweetened with the fruit the use for blending. I really like coming in here during my lunch breaks for a healthy refresher.”

918 N Lake Ave, Pasadena, CA 91104, United States

”This is a small specialty market selling Italian food. The place is well known for its delicious inexpensive Italian sandwiches that are prepared every morning. A lot of people buy these sandwiches so they usually run out by lunch time. The market has a great selection of Imported cookies, bread, pasta, oils canned goods and bottled items. I’ve never tried their frozen pasta and store made sauces but I can vouch for their delicious prosciutto that is sliced on the spot. This is the place to go for charcuterie in Pasadena.”

114 W Branch St, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420, United States

”Holy heavenly cow!! This is seriously some of the best ice cream I've ever had! I had the heavenly vanilla and birthday cake, but honestly, the heavenly vanilla was just out of this world good! My wife had the Carmel x-plosion and she really enjoyed it! The flavors were so rich and creamy that each bite left us wanting more! We can't wait to go back! Edit* So good that we went back before we left! I got the heavenly vanilla again because it really is heavenly with that natural vanilla and buttermilk. My wife loved everything she tried and ended up getting the cookie dough. This ice cream place is amazing!”

1058 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94103, United States

”Been following Deli Board on Instagram for a while and finally stopped by today. I came here for takeaway during lunchtime and there was a line but it went by fast and I didn't wait too long for my order. I had one of the specials, a.stud (Romanian pastrami, avocado, cheddar cheese, jalapenos, cole slaw, Board sauce on a garlic French roll) and it was beyond delicious! The sandwich had a perfect balance of salt, fat, acid and heat. Only thing I could've used more of was the slaw. Amazing overall. Definitely worth the price and wait (the sandwich was two meals for me!).”

5043 CA-140, Mariposa, CA 95338, United States

”The food was very good and the customer service was excellent. A little overpriced in my opinion and my mashed potatoes were cold but the experience was great after a long day of hiking at Yosemite national Park. We had the two specials of the day, and I had their Grapefruit Negroni which was very delicious.”

1835 E Cesar E Chavez Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90033, United States

”Always a quick stop for high quality food for a cheap price. Very friendly service and delicious and affordable options. A great choice for lunch or dinner on any night. My go-to is chicken teriyaki but Korean BBQ beef short ribs and Thai BBQ chicken are great options too.”

2413 J St #120, Sacramento, CA 95816, United States

”Easily one of the best chocolates in Northern California, hands down! You also MUST try their hot Chocolate drinks, absolutely delicious and rich, right amount of sweetness, and you can not get enough so make sure you order the larger size. Parking isn't easy, but not terrible. There are lots of great choices on custom and many flavors of top-notch chocolates and drinks, making this a must for chocolate lovers. They also have some great macaroons and merchandise.”

20133 Saticoy St, Winnetka, CA 91306, United States

”The empanadas are good, depending on what filling you choose(some have great flavor some were lacking flavor completely). Empandadas are kinda big in size, crispy on the outside, but on some the dough was still uncooked in the inside . The prices IMO are a bit too high though, a dozen was over $50. Plenty of parking on plaza lot.”

949 Ruff Dr, San Jose, CA 95110, United States

”We have ordered lunch, suggi bites, and weekend special lunch before with success. This time we had our Diwali party catered. All the guests loved the main course dishes, the rotis, and the dessert was really nice, ideal level of sweetness. The quantity served per person was more than sufficient. The spice level was correct, taste was very home cooked”

19040 Van Buren Boulevard, Riverside, CA 92508, United States

”This place is amazing! The fruit was so fresh and delicious! The acai is so good! It was a really healthy amount for just under $10. If you are into this kind of snack you should definitely give it a try.”

298 Gough St, San Francisco, CA 94102, United States

”Our meal was well worth the wait! Highlights were the juicy pork pan fried dumplings and mushroom boiled dumplings. Both of those were exceptional! The 炸酱面 were okay, but not the best. I’d definitely stick to the dumplings. XLB were delicious too, and there’s a convenient soup spoon that makes eating them super easy! We were seated quickly as a party of 2.”

965 Palomar Airport Rd #100, Carlsbad, CA 92011, United States

”Great vegetarian place. The Crispy Buffalo Chicken sandwich was awesome, the fries were nice and crispy and the service was very good. My friend had the Buffalo Chicken wrap that was also very good. We were acknowledged as soon as we walked in and helped right away. The prices were very reasonable, the place was clean and the music wasn’t blasting. Highly recommended.”

1550 Trancas St, Napa, CA 94558, United States

”Hands down the best European deli that we have in Napa! If you want to skip the line, arrive before 11 AM. I arrived at 10:45 AM and no line at all! The specialty sandwiches are my favorite!! The hot foods are always delicious. Did you know they even sell some items frozen for easy transportation? It’s always the best to grab some food from here for a beach or wine tasting day!”

19 1/2 E Huntington Dr, Arcadia, CA 91006, United States

”I have to say that this is a little gem of a market. I am American Italian and finding store that specializes in true Italian food and having a deli attached to it makes me delighted. I don't always get the chance to go but when I do I make it a trip worth taking. I try to grab a little bit of everything. From pasta to Italian candies to the desserts to fresh baked bread and definitely one of their delicious sandwiches. You have to try them please do you will not regret it. Also while you are at it grab a drink and a cookie make it a meal.”
