food tour of san fran




this past weekend i took a girls trip to san francisco 
to visit our friend courtney

it was amazing

i love that city, 
especially its food

and the tour begins

breakfast day 1: tartine


amazing pastries


and a ham and cheese croissant 
that is to die for
especially when paired with fresh squeezed oj


and if you have a sweet tooth
get the banana bread pudding


coffee day 1: philz


vegan doughnuts
whatever that means


cute little pastries


and the best darn iced coffee ever
rumor has it that heavy whipping cream and brown suger are involved
oh my goodness


and it is topped off with fresh mint


coffee 2 day 1: ritual


we went to a coffee cupping
where they sniff and taste coffee
like it is wine
some if them smelled like meat
so cool

lunch day 1: the plant


open face crab face sandwich
with roasted red pepper and an amazing sauce


and a veggie burger made out of beets!


dinner day 1: little star


incredible pizza with a cornmeal crust
maybe the best pizza ive ever had
put this on your san fran list


brunch day 2: roses cafe at the ferry building market


a bacon egg and fontina cheese sandwich on sourdough
with roasted potatoes


and the best meal
which is now my new favorite food
dinner day 2: mandalay


this is burmese food
never had it? 
find it


for an appetizer
get the tea leaf salad
it has fried garlic chips, tomatoes, barley, soy nuts, jalapenos, peanuts lemon and tea leaf paste


and then they mix it all together
and its amazing


then they have a sweet bread that is similar to naan but thicker with a delish curry dipping sauce


and coconut rice


and fried green beans


and mandalay chicken


and mongolian beef


and ginger lemonade with real ginger and basil flecks!


dessert day 2: bi rite creamery

they have flavors like earl grey, salted caramel, and mexican chocolate with olive oil and rock salt!!


of all the cities ive been to in this country
san fran wins
for food
