800 N Point St
San Francisco, CA 94109

I don't know if you've…

The Phoenix Pastificio

1250 Addison St
Berkeley, CA 94709

Gourmet G. writes: A family-owned and operated business with a staff that's genuinely nice instead of pompously pretentious. Service is slow only because there's a lone chef preparing everything, all of it cooked to order, and if patience is a virtue, a meal here is…

Zanze's Cheesecake

2405 Ocean Avenue
San Francisco, CA 94126

lulu p. writes: Ummm.... where is the FULL FAT version of this cheesecake?

Yes, it's so delicate that it must be sliced with fishing line (free gift with purchase). It must also be eaten with pinky raised.

At over $10 per mini-cake (the same size as a personal pan…

545 Haight St
San Francisco, CA 94117

1 Ferry Bldg
Marketplace Shop #15
San Francisco, CA 94105

1722 Sacramento St
San Francisco, CA 94109

Arizmendi

3265 Lakeshore Ave
Oakland, CA 94610

Herman N. writes: "The roof the roof the roof is on fire..."

There are few things in this world where I will subject myself to masochism. The piping hot pizza from Arizmendi Bakery is definitely one of them. The moment the cashier hands me a slice of that freshly…

Arizmendi Bakery
Neighborhood: Inner Sunset

1331 9th Ave
San Francisco, CA 94122

laura b. writes: The wolverine* rolls are vegan. Hold the presses. That shit tastes like it's made with cream, lard, mayonnaise, baby buttocks and all things magical and delicious but in reality, it's vegan! IN YOUR FACE, BABY BUTTOCKS!

Also, vegan cookies, awesome…

San Francisco, CA 94118

1220 San Pablo Ave
Berkeley, CA 94706

kristi l. writes: You know...I think I'll be okay if I never have to hear " *GASP* I remember when you were THIS big!" again. But what can I say: it just comes with the territory of being a Tokyo Fish Kid.

This store is much more than a store to me. It was my…

Mill Valley, CA 94941

heather g. writes: So, I bought some batteries here the other day.... get your minds out of the gutter... it was for the camera... sheesh...

Curry Corner Takeaway

26657 Mission Blvd
Hayward, CA 94544

Ed C. writes: THANK YOU YELP!

Guerra Quality Meats
Neighborhood: Parkside

490 Taraval St
San Francisco, CA 94116

rommy g. writes: I truly thought the day of the local, neighborhood butcher shop had passed. Guerra brought it all back in a blinding flash.

I love that it's out of the way, over in Parkside, where the trendy, capitalist snobs can't get at it. Fortunately they are…

Jewish Community Center of San Francisco
Neighborhood: Laurel Heights

3200 California St
San Francisco, CA 94118

Ed to the M. writes: I ain't hebrew, but I dig the Jews. I have Jew friends (this sounds startling like a "I'm not racist! I know black people!" thing). In fact, interestingly enough, I didn't know any white Jewish people until I moved to the Bay Area. You see, all…

810 Franklin St
Oakland, CA 94607

Valentina D. writes: WHAT. IS. WRONG. WITH. MEEEEEEEEEE??????

200 Jackson Street
San Francisco, CA 94111

Gioia Pizzeria
Neighborhood: North Berkeley

1586 Hopkins St
Berkeley, CA 94707

Fifth Wheel

898 San Leandro Blvd
San Leandro, CA 94577

Andy M. writes: I'm really not sure where San Leandro actually is - it kind of morphs into Oakland on one side, and into San Lorenzo and Hayward on the other. I think. In my brain it is an amorphous blob. And it has a downtown (news to me) with a Bart station and…

Primavera

1 Ferry Plaza
Ferry Plaza Farmers Market
San Francisco, CA 94101

margot b. writes: Pretty tasty food but I agree, it's fairly overpriced. It was fun to try it but I certainly wouldn't make a habit of it. The wait sucks too, as the Ferry Building Farmers Market is a mob scene of epic proportions.

Tried the chilaquiles plate ($9)…

5973 Shattuck Ave
Oakland, CA 94620
