Crimson colors and mini muffins

On this the Fourth of July (posthumously), I planned on finally visiting that cafe down the street from my current temporary residence. And then I was reminded that it was the Fourth of July. No go. Onward to the end!

The walls are red!
And there are the coolest fruits and vegetables paintings hanging around the restaurant!
Shall I reiterate?
The walls are red!
!!!

Instead of bread baskets, they gave baskets of mini-muffins!
It's a mega-basket of mini-muffins! There was another mega basket of a different mini-muffin variety underneath. This is not the one we got, unfortunately. They have regular size baskets to give mini-muffins in.

I ordered this spinach, mushroom, and tomato omelet with potato pancakes. I'm not a big fan of eggs,
but this was yummy anyway.

There is a bakery attached to Town's End Restaurant - Town's End Bakery - go figure. This is mainly a breakfast, brunch, lunch place. They are always hopping when I walk by, granted isn't very often and only on the weekends, but yea. It overlooks the Bay on Embarcadero. A wall of windows, it gets very good natural lighting, unlike other dim places. Me gusta.

Mouth Watering

Is this not the most beautiful sight you've ever held before your eyes in panoramic photo form on a computer screen?
I believe they call themselves Melt - how appropriate! That is exactly what I'd do for a scoop. This was a gelato and crepe booth/station place in the Westfield Shopping Centre food court in SF.
Now this was not your average food court with the McDonald's and Taco Bell. And, frankly, both are gross at this point. This was the average yuppie's food court chock full of overpriced cookies and pan-asian skewers. They even had a yuppie grocery store with scrumptious looking pastries on display and $13 bags of cherries. And there were busboys in uniform! You're supposed to leave your dishes on the tables and they come around to take care of it. And every eatery had the same plates, which were not disposable. They had the ambiance going with the dim lighting and modernist chic decor. Other choices included Japanese, Korean, American, Italian, Mexican, etc.
Hand washing station was separate from the bathrooms and Family Lounge complete with couches and toys to entertain the children.


And all of it was saturated in yuppie!
