Cafe M

So I am trying to catch up with all this stuff. A few days ago I had lunch with Amy and Catrina and we got a chance to catch up.  We ended up at Cafe M by Fourth Street in Berkeley.  It was sooooo very crowded everywhere on Fourth Street that day but I found rockstar parking which was a good omen.  Anyway this place was great. I had eggs benedict.  I have been trying them out when I see them on the menu and it sounds like a good idea and they were great. The hollandaise sauce a just a bit of spice which made it a little different.  Anyway this was a great place if you are in the neighborhood......

Tartine

Ok so can't believe I have never posted about Tartine. I thought I had, crazy.  Anyway, last week I had the day off and spent the morning at the Aquarium which was awesome and highly recommended.  Anyway later on I headed over to Tartine because I hadn't been there in a while and it sounded good.  It is in the Mission on 18th Street (btw guerrero and dolores right near bi-rite and delfina so pick your poison as they say).  Tartine sells all kinds of yummy cake and bread (which a lot of restaurants like Delfina serve).  They have a great chocolate cake and a great bread pudding.  They also make a great open face Croque Monsieur which I decided to give a try and it was delish. It had ham and sun dried tomato.  This place gets super crowded and you can't be afraid to share a table with strangers but it is worth it.
