Roo Roo and Tommy (the dog) on yet another trip out. This morning was brunch at the Universal Cafe with a side trip to Blue Bottle coffee.
A good meal was had by all.

Been enjoying sludge-free french press coffee ever since we replaced our old Bodum press with the new Espro press. It uses double gold filters to make a truly smooth brew. Highly recommended.
Here's nifty demo from the folks at Tested and you can find them at Williams-Sonoma

Nice day for iced coffee at the market. Latest addition is a self proclaimed "Computer Maven" offering free advice.
The normally culverted Temescal Creek is flowing above ground today too.

I don't see this working out so well...
For those outside the Bay Area La Boulange is a small bakery that has expanded to dozens of locations in the Bay Area. Their coffee is generally better than Starbucks and they offer casual dining with a french theme.
Wonder if they'll keep the free cornichon in the condiments counter?
