Ti Couz makes every "Best
Of" list for its crepes in the funky Mission neighborhood.
Very cozy and friendly for single diners also. We visited in Spring 2000 and enjoyed
a few specials including steamed clams with white wine sauce and shallots. Our guest
also shared with us a mushroom and cheese dinner crepe. A delicious fresh
accompaniment was the spring fresh salad mix with feta cheese and roasted red peppers.
Total meal cost per person including drinks and dessert was around $17.
Dessert you ask... apple crepe with caramel sauce topped with natural vanilla bean ice
cream. Enough said.

World Wrapp's
is a wrapp-oriented take-out restaurant in SF featuring gourmet burrito's.
Noah's Bagel's
is the best bagels in SF and it's all over S.F. For under a dollar, you get a freshly
baked delicious bagel. Make sure to get the freshest one's-- they're steaming hot. Noah's
also has Jewish ethnic delicacies like lox and hamentashen cookies, but also sandwiches
and coffee. If you're walking around and hungry or want a unique breakfast, Noah's can't
be beat-- and there's about 25 of them in every cafe laden neighborhood.
is the undisputed king of San Francisco pizza and offers prompt delivery
service.
Jamba Juice is the stereotypical (California takeout)
juice bar in the trendy Marina, Irving,
and Financial District.

is a great turkey and beef with potato's & veggies type restaurant. Pleasant ambiance,
good food, fair prices. Check it out in the Marina District. I
love this place & all my friends seem to also. Click for menu highlights...

Just Desserts has the best
desserts in the City & great coffee drinks too. There's a bunch of them in the Marina 3735 Buchanan 922-8675 near Safeway Grocery, Sunset 836 Irving / 681-1277, and Mission
@ 248 Church / 626-5774.
Mario's Bohemian
Cigar Store & Cafe - great foccacia sandwiches!
Caffe Centro is where the new media elite hang out and buy their latte
when their stock isn't selling. Smack in the middle of multimedia gulch/South Park,
its hella-trendy but with damn great sandwiches, salads, and coffee drinks for about $7
per person (including tall espresso).
102 South Park (near 2nd and Bryant) 882-1500
The Peer Inn on Embarcadero at Pier 33
was recommended by our readers. It's a dive that feeds (and waters) a mix of business types and fishermen.
GOOD (if heavy) breakfasts, ask for the corned beef hash. Good and generous lunches.
(Thursday is reuben sandwich day, very good). Any restaurant on the waterfront has
awesome views too. Great restaurant to combine with a boat trip
from the Ferry Building.
