I checked inside and among other things (no Beats Headphones BTW), there's two wrapped candies. Alter Eco Truffles - Sea Salt. Hum? Later that evening watching Netflix, I remembered them truffles and decided to try one. Goodness gracious! Just one of the most delicious erotic taste experiences ever! Once biting into the milk chocolate, an explosion of smooth savory and slightly salty swirled. I had to take a moment, put my show on pause and just let the flavors envelop me. With a small sip of black coffee, it just a lingering memory. Damn it was great! I had to stop before devouring the other one and prepare myself for the second coming. Hence a photo-op! The second experience was as moving as the first. I intently took my time to enjoy the moment. I'm fulfilled and yet yearning for more. A quick Google and I found they're made in The City. Also sold at stores in The Bay. Thank you, Alter Eco, for supporting our YEE was your fabulous treats. Baby, I look forward to another date!

I placed the order on 5/27; asked later to hold the order while I was out of town. They did, however, they were supposed to send it on Thursday last week. They keep on sending emails promising shipping but it still is not happening. Seems they don't have the work force to manage their new larger volume of sales. I will sadly have to cancel the order.

Have been here twice and will be back to eat everything else they have haha. Very punk shop. Tiny little space with a cute parklet in front. The workers are very helpful and knowledgeable on their products. Want to come here for more food, grab a bottle of wine next door, and enjoy the night with a friend. I won't say much about the food, just that there is a reason I want to come back for more. Fresh, delicious ingredients. Carefully thought out and brought together for great combinations. Truly curated experience is how I would put it. I really like this shop.

Came here right at 11:30 AM on a Sunday to get their Brunch Focaccia. The shop is filled with…read moreshelves of unique produce and dry goods, giving a sense of wonder and cozy intrigue. I loved seeing all the other goods they had for sale; though they were pricey, the curation seemed very special and done with love and care. There's some seating outside on benches or the patio deck, and the employees were very friendly and easygoing. The day I went, the brunch focaccia was an artichokes, salsa verde, sundried tomatoes, red onion, arugula, and pepper jack focaccia that day, and it was delicious! they grill it fresh in front of you (takes about 5 minutes), and I'd recommend eating it as soon as possible for the best experience. The focaccia is so light and airy with the crispy crust, and their ingredients are so high quality with a symphony of flavors. Would definitely come back again for this, maybe to also try their paninis!

I bought a 3-pack of these preserves about a year or so ago at World Market because the flavours…read moresounded interesting. But - WOW they blew my mind!! They are the best I've ever tasted! And, they were on sale for 1/2 price!! When I went back to purchase more, of course, they'd sold out.

Coco's Maison de Monaco jams are what make my breakfasts such a happy time. Firstly, the jams are…read morecooked in small batches, and so the quality is consistent - I have been buying these at Whole Foods on Ocean Ave in San Francisco for about a year. Next, the sugar level is 50% of regular jam, and it's just the right sweetness. Finally (I could go on with compliments, really...) the flavors are awesome. I have tried the Strawberry & Blackcurrant, and Apricot & Hibiscus and the best Black Mission Fig & Apricot. I wish WFM had all the flavors, like Blueberry & Lemon Peel, that sounds so good! I went to her website, and it's just does not do her brand justice, the jam is way more amazing. It feels like they're only in a few stores, but really deserve to be in many more, maybe she does not want to, otherwise I would personally write to all Whole Foods stores in the Bay Area. Thank you, Coco!

I spotted this shop within walking distance and decided to check it out. While the shop offers a variety of pasteurized and non-pasteurized cheeses to choose from, they also sell sandwiches. They have two different sandwich boards, with one focusing on grilled cheese sandwiches and the other offering meat & cheese sandwiches. I opted for the Toulouse sandwich, which seemed to be a popular sandwich here. The sandwich was quite solid overall and filling enough. You got to choose between chips and salad for a side with the sandwich. I got chips, and they were nice & crunchy with just enough salt. The exciting part for me is that they had imported Orangina from France, which is difficult to find in the US! No seating available, but there's a local park nearby where you can grab a bench at to enjoy your sandwich

Finally have chance to visit and try this restaurant. I was not planning to stop by but when I…read morepassed the the restaurant and lunch time , I decided to stop by. This restaurant serves Asian fusion dishes and it is not that large and bright. The concept kind of like fast food style where you order and pay first. It was full when we arrived and we had to wait. You cannot get the table until you ordered. You order at cashier and they will get you a table after you paid. We ordered bulgogi burrito, bsnh mi, curry udon with fried chicken , and ginger chicken jook. Our order was ready pretty quickly. I love the jook. It is korean style chicken porridge. Combine it with chine donut is great. Curry udon is yummy. It like malaysia laksa or thai red curry meet japanese udon. The soup is not yoo heavy and the fried chicken was yummy. Banh mi is kind of same as what you get from vietnamese banh mi shop. Burrito is ok but not special except this one come with bulgogi as the protein. Thus on is Mexican food meet Korean. Overall it was a nice lunch with my family. Will visit again when I am at neighborhood to try other dishes.

Wooly Pig is a good, but pricey lunch spot. Ordered pick up and took it home to eat. Seemed like a…read moregood idea since while there was plenty of tables, all were occupied and people were definitely doing work there so would not be freeing up anytime soon. By the time I got home, I realized they gave me the wrong sandwich. Ordered the Asian Cuban, but was given the wooly pig instead. Side salad was good, the dressing was tasty and the salad was fresh. Despite not being what I wanted, the sandwich was good. Pulled pork had an excellent flavor and was tender and juicy. There was pieces of pork belly in the sandwich which kinda messed with it since they were a bit dry and tough. The bun was a standout, very soft and buttery. Basically melted in your mouth. Overall: 4.0/5

Morton & Bassett Spices are my new favorite spice brand. My recent purchase was due to a…read moreBuy-one-get-one-half-off sale at our local grocery store. I purchased some of my favorite spices: cayenne pepper, white pepper, poppy seed, and one other. I've purchased this brand in the past, but didn't really appreciate the quality of the brand until now. Over the years I have relied on McCormick for the spices that I really care about. For basic spices like Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and salt, I resorted to Aldi and even the dollar store. Morton and Bassett spices are worth the extra expense since they taste fresher and have great flavor. I don't give five stars out to anyone, but Morton & Bassett went from 4 to 5 stars because of their customer service. After my purchase, I discovered that two of my spices did not have a shaker option. Perhaps many people don't shake their cayenne pepper or white pepper on prepared foods like I do. Either way, I was really disappointed with this seamingly minor inconvenience. Please let me explain that it is very difficult to sprinkle a small portion of pepper on your dinner if you do not have the little plastic top with the convenient holes. I know...most people would just suck it up and perhaps spoon the spices out or simply purchase a different brand (with a shaker top) next time. Well, fortunately for me, I made the wise decision to look up their customer service phone number on www.mortonbassett.com (found with a simple Google search). My call was immediately answered by an English speaking, professional representative! This alone was impressive. He offered a quick and simple resolution and mailed two plastic shaker tops to my home. I wish I remembered his name. Either way, it may seem like a simple thing, but I appreciate it a great deal. Thank you Morton & Bassett Spices for your quality products and excellent customer service!

The Rogue Traders meandered our way out to Dogpatch a couple weeks ago where the 22nd st. sidewalk ends- since when did we start calling it Dogpatch anyway - we made our way through security, parked crooked like, in front of the most gorgeous mess of a building I've ever seen. The kind of space you want to ride a tricycle around in, hula-hoop, listen to live music, sing loudly and picnic in. We almost did all those things. This happens every Thursday night, but only through June! A night food market on the Bay. My companions are not as curious as I-I had to taste every thing from the freshly fried beignets, to the backyard honey, paper thin crackers covered in seeds and an almond croissant so heavy I couldn't bare to share it. Then there were fresh baked cardamon butter cookies and this was all before dinner. The music played, happy birthdays were announced, fresh picked veges were procured, hand printed note cards were bartered for future goods and Pier 70 SF came alive while the sun twisted into the factory windows variegating blue to orange to pink. I even found some dear old friends I hadn't seen in nearly 10 years! Thank you Austin Press for the the beautiful note cards, the friendship and the invitation. The Rogue Traders hope to be peddling and bartering here before the end of June.
