Scrimshaw Coffee

There's a new coffee shop in town...

Taking the "scenic route" from the 94 to Euclid during this cloudy morning...

Food for Thoughts Cafe + views from Grant Hill Park

Not too far from Dark Horse was a small cafe in the same neighborhood...

(view of downtown San Diego at the top of J St & 26th)

TC took that shot as I drove down the hill looking for a place to park...

The return of the Salted Maple latte at Dark Horse, Golden Hill

It was our last Friday of the Fall break...

(craptastic traffic on the 94)

TC had a free morning so off we went for breakfast, but first...

Cafe 21 with Astroboi + Hawthorn Coffee, Mission Thrift Store and the Incredible Cheesecake Company

Fall break is for meeting up with friends...

in this case, Astroboi and with his choice of breakfast venue...

Beacon Coffee Co., Ventura

Morning on the 101...

heading west on a weekend getaway..

Old Town Calabasas

See this tree?

Little did we know that this would be its last month of existence in Old Town Calabasas...

Dunedin

My good friend MFH celebrated her birthday earlier this month...

Due to our schedules, we weren't able to meet up until recently...

when I took her to the year old Dunedin, a New Zealand themed eatery in North Park...

10 Speed Coffee, Calabasas

We'd never been to Calabasas before...

TC knows it as the "substitute swear word" my late Ninang Edith used to say...

Wow Wow Waffle almost 3 years later

When I was out with MFH last weekend, we parked across from this...

our eventual dessert destination. It had been a few years since I'd been here...

Summer Road Trip - En route to Carpinteria

Finally...the start of our Carpinteria posts...

(strip mall with Starbucks and El Toro taco shop at the Red Hill Exit, Tustin)

which happened in late June but am just posting about now...

The former K-Pasta is now the Little Red Cafe

[Update: Sadly, Little Red Cafe closed as of early October 2017]

A few months have passed since K-Pasta closed down...

However, the same owners have replaced it with a different concept, the Little Red Cafe...
