Du-par's donuts at Farmers market

This is the one at the Farmer's market, not inside the restaurant. As you probably know, you can buy just pies and donuts to go at Farmer's market, if you are in hurry and don't wanna sit down at the restaurant.Each donut was $1.25.

Stolichnaya Bakery - West Hollywood

It's almost a year ago, I was in the area so I stopped by this bakery. Pastries are reasonable but too sweet for me.I also don't like the place sells pastries by pounds. The only reason I come here is for piroshki. I think this place is known for that. They have many different flavors of piroshki.





















Piroshki $1.25













Sweet pretzel $1.50

The French Press - Santa Barbara

About 2 months ago, I went to Santa Barbara to have lunch. Downtown Santa Barbara is really nice.There were two coffee places I wanted to go in Santa Barbara and this is one of the place.
I liked my drink. I wanna try latte next time.















Verve coffee














Shakerato and cup of  french press (after adding cream and sugar)












My shakerato $3
They shake it. Then pour into the glass. That's why it's called "shakerao".

Urspace - Temple City

Urspace is brand new cafe restaurant in Temple City. It did look little upscale place at first, but once you go inside, it's pretty cool space. I didn't take pics but there are indoor patio area too.
When I was here about a week ago, they were having grand opening special and all the food was 20% off. I'm not sure if they are still doing that promo or not.























Cold jasmine tea


















Jasmine tea $6













Winter espresso $4.75
I asked for easy on sugar, but it was still too sweet so I asked if they can make it again with no sugar, It was still sweet.


















flatbread with truffle, spinach, mushrooms and blue cheese $8













rice and spinach
I tasted spinach, it was flavorful but too salty.
