Mr. Bread

The striped awnings with a cute stylized happy baker on it lured me in like the Millenium Falcon to the Death Star's massive tractor beam...

Bert already knew from the look on my face that we would have to go in...

House of Pancakes

When you hear the words House of Pancakes, you usually think of the breakfast type of pancakes, like IHOP.

You won't find those here at this establishment...

Return to Marco Polo Ice Cream

Yes, it was the return to Marco Polo Ice Cream...

I noticed that formerly dead patch in front had now sprouted grass...

Mellow's Cafe

One thing that we really like about the motel we were staying at was its proximity to the L-Taraval Streetcar.  If we wanted to, we could go downtown for the one-way fare price of  $2.25  (youth ages 5-17 are only $1). With that, the ride would also take 45 minutes. No, our destination was just going to be nearby Taraval St.

The motel actually gives earplugs to guests who find the noise bothersome especially at night. For all of the times we've stayed here, it's never been an issue for any of us having a problem falling asleep because of the noise.

For me, whenever I'm in a different city, I am more accepting of the ambient street noise I suppose.
There were several places we wanted to go on Taraval, the first one was another request by TC...

Philz Coffee, Burlingame

At the time of this writing, I learned that San Diego will be home to a future Philz Coffee in La Jolla and Encinitas.

It was the Philz in Burlingame that we visited during our Spring Break...

Return to Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorabilia (formerly known as the Pez Museum), Burlingame

Has it really been this long since we were last here?

Bert and I first visited this museum when it was still called the Pez Museum...

Return to SFSU - the Filipino student mural + a college track meet

In keeping with our usual MO whenever we visit a city, we  made a stop at a local university...

It had been about sixe years since our last visit...

Strawberry Hill, Golden Gate Park

During our last trip to SF, Bert had this place on his "must see" list...

It's a spot in Golden Gate Park with a picturesque name...

and in the middle of a small lake in Golden Gate Park.

Return to Twisted Donuts & Coffee

Once more, we were here at Twisted...

since it was right across the street from Home Cafe...

Spring Break Road Trip 2016 - Day 5: Return to Noriega Produce + hipster toast & drinks at Home Cafe

It was great to be back in this part of the city.

I much prefer the quiet neighborhood vibe rather than the hustle and bustle of the city itself...
