Kreuzberg Coffee Company

A few doors down from Rocket Fizz was Kreuzberg Coffee Company...

It serves as a restaurant and coffee/book lounge, as well as the only roastery in downtown SLO...

and is named after a vibrant neighborhood in Berlin.

Rocket Fizz, SLO

Gotta love the font on these signs, reminiscent of the Spanish/Mission heritage in San Luis Obispo...

The brown is kind of blah but I'm sure they chose it because it's the same color as the robes worn by the Spanish friars...

The coffee place we wanted to go to was on Higuera but I spied this kitschy soda shop first...

Crappy sea salt coffee from Tastea Grill + a revisit to Hogetsu & Gunco

Earlier this afternoon, we did a few errands in the Otay Ranch area. I wanted to stop by Tastea Grill for a sea salt coffee, as advertised on one of their window flyers...

The last time I was here and asked for a sea salt coffee, the girl said to "come back later" because the person who made it wasn't there which kind of irked me since I'm of the belief that everyone who works the front should be able to make every drink they offer. Is that so unreasonable? But griping aside, I thought I would try my luck today...

The Bunny Kitty Mural on the hArt Lounge wall, East Village

As hoped and promised earlier, I would seek out the other Bunny Kitty mural I'd been most wanting to see (can you spot it?)...

This time in the East Village right along G and Park and the SD Trolley Line...

We were sufficiently wired from our coffees from the excellent Bean Bar and headed north on Park...

The changing of the Pez...

It's finally February which means...

the random PEZ arranged by TC on our TV shelf switches over to the next themed holiday dispensers...

Lestat's Coffee House, Normal Heights

I'd almost forgotten about this post when we were in Normal Heights a few months ago...

I think the original place we wanted to go to was either too busy or we weren't feeling it, so we decided to make our way to Adams Avenue...

New flavors, Girl Scout Cookies

When I got home from the gym earlier tonight, I was greeted with these...

I spied two new flavors as well...

Thrift store shopping and the murals at the soon to be defunct Thrift Trader on Iowa St.

Fully charged by my cold brew from Heartwork, I took the long way home...

and meandered from Mission Hills to North Park...

As seen in Little Italy

After seeing those poor cats get chased down by children from hell, we left the Cat Cafe to headover to Little Italy...

Using our trusty passes. You tap your prepaid card on the sensor thing before boarding. We found that it helps to do it way ahead of time instead of right before you board.

This was at the stop near the Convention Center.

We would be Little Italy bound...

Sadie Rose flat bread

We recently discovered this flat bread during our Sunday grocery excursions...

This was the 3-pack flatbread from Sadie Rose, a local bakery in San Diego...

Trolley Adventure 2015 and the disappointment that was the Cafe Cafe

On MLK we had our first trolley adventure of the year...

We took off from the H St. station.

I lost my trolley card from two years ago, so I had to pay $2 for a new card, then $5 for the all day pass, which is still a pretty good bargain...
