My Favorite Bakeries:

Schubert's Bakery - This is the best European bakery in San Francisco! From their famous Mango Mousse to their Danish pastries, everyone is sure to find a perfect dessert at this charming bakery. Established in 1911, the bakery has been under German ownership from the beginning. All the baked goods are moderately priced and are freshly made everyday.

Cool Restaurants:

Ambrosia Garden - 843 San Pablo Avenue, Albany, Ca 94706 (510) 528-5388
This is a Chinese vegetarian restaurant located in Albany, CA. The menu also consists of authentic 'meat dishes' for those who crave something other than vegetables. Prices are moderately priced, and food items can be made for take out.

Baker Street Bistro - 2953 Baker Street, San Francisco, CA 94123 (415) 931-1475
This is a great French bistro located in the Marina district of San Francisco. While everything is terrific, I really liked the Blanquette de Veau dish. I especially recommend their Creme Brulee; it's excellent!
