Juice Adventure

Last week, our lunch trio of me, Mr. TJ and La Ley went here...

Juice Adventure has been in this strip mall across from Southwestern College for at least 17 years and is located between Los Panchos taco shop and Otay books (catering to the college kids across the street)....

Lazy Hummingbird

Let's pretend we took the DeLorean back in time and gave the old flux capacitor a run for its money....

Sandwiched between our visit to Hodad's and Beach Sweets was a short jaunt a few streets over to a coffee shop located in the Ocean Beach Business Center...

which shares space with  FedEx...

Jungle Java, lunch @ Hodad's and Beach Sweets

As seen near the corner of Abbot Street and Newport in OB...

fresh from NOT seeing the tidepools but from enjoying the waves and fresh air, we headed up OB's main drag to kill some time before our early lunch...

More scenes from OB...

Sometime last week, Bert took a day off (since he wasn't on fall break like TC and I)...

We took TC and a friend to OB to hang out...

and to enjoy our beautiful "Fall" weather...

A trio of Caffes - Caffe Italia, Influx Cafe and Cafe Zucchero + our beautiful skyline as viewed from Coronado

I vowed to use a coupon every day of the break. TC and I finally went to our original destination from the previous week...

when I took a wrong turn and totally bypassed the Little Italy sign and ended up on the freeway instead. Instead of Italian, we had Mexican that day...

But no worries, we were here now and I was able to snag two hour free parking a few blocks away...

Zarco Cocina de Baja + return to Tartine

[Update - This place is now CLOSED. It didn't even last that long. As of 8/9/15, it is now known as 277 Cocina Artesanal]

A few Fridays ago,, Bert and I went to check out the fairly new Zarco Cocina de Baja in the heart of downtown Chula Vista.

Zarco is the latest incarnation of the former Indulge restaurant, which was also headed by Chef Flor Franco...

Gone were the swirled black and white awning which were replaced by the bold oxblood red of the new Zarco...

Beach 'n Boba Cafe Fail...Plan B - Return to Eggette's

We found out while trolling that four lettered site that many places close by either 9 or 10 pm in the Sunset district. My cousin wanted us to try this place called Beach 'n Boba Cafe, which was on Taraval.

I remembered seeing it while on the streetcar.  My cousin and my niece (her oldest who is in college) really like this place and wanted to take us there...

Marco Polo Italian Ice Cream

After walking up and down several blocks to explore, we went back a few blocks the other way to hit up this place...

We were on vacation and yes, we wanted dessert every $%#@ day...

Recent meals and snacks...

A few weeks ago, KD gave me these lovely things....

which are passion fruits. It was my first time eating a real one,instead of a flavor that's been infused in syrup, iced tea, or ice cream...

Bobalicious

After our awesome lunch at Cape Town, we headed over to the stripmall with Target to seek out a particular place that sold cold drinks...

saddled with the name of "Bobalicious"...

and of course, being a place that I had a hot little coupon to use up...
