It looks mighty tasty, although I'm looking for something less...hmm...restauranty? More of a walk up, down home, take out kinda place. Also, I noticed that they don't serve greens.

I can get what I'm looking for up in LA but for some reason there just aren't many choices down here.

I do appreciate the tip though.

Although there is also one located in San Fran, making it not exactly one-of-a-kind! The food is delish, and the cocktails are super unique. The Icebreaker used to be my absolute favorite. A martini glass packed with frozen green & purple grapes! The Dr. Pepper cocktail comes served on a silver tray, garnished with Dr. Pepper Jelly Bellies, a vintage bottle of Dr. Pepper and a glass of vanilla vodka! You mix it all up and sprinkle the Jelly Bellies inside! Fun! The food is tasty and the atmosphere is hip n' trendy, yet relaxed and casual. Certainly swank!

There's this charming little coffee shop (Capitol Coffee House) two blocks from my house next to this amazing little Italian restaurant, alba osteria (no, I'm not ee cummings, they just don't capitalize).

The coffee shop serves a light dinner upstairs, has amazing desserts and wines in the evenings, mouth watering pastries in the mornings, is filled with dark antique furniture, has great patio seating, is always packed, and oh my gosh, the coffee drinks are to die for.

I found out from our neighborhood Starbucks manager that Starbucks OWNS Capitol Coffee House. I guarantee that NONE of their regular customers knows it, or they wouldn't go there (major hippy hang-out too). I about DIED. Here I'm always feeling guilty that I don't go there often enough, thinking it's locally owned, but NO. It's owned by Starbucks!!! Apparently, Starbucks makes offers on its local competition when it moves into a neighborhood. I had NO idea!

So....that WAS my favorite little independent place.
