Cafe Colma (inside the Lucky Chances Casino)
1700 Hillside Blvd
Colma, CA 94014 // (650) 758-2237
With a huge new cemetery under construction across the street, and hidden inside a casino in South San Francisco, Cafe Colma is quite an uplifting experience. Okay, I was being sarcastic, but my friend and I decided to check this out for lunch one Saturday. Why? Because I’d never been to a Filipino restaurant before, and I’d heard from some Meetup folks that this was a dive worth exploring. Plus how often can you claim to have eaten in a casino…minutes from San Francisco?

Eddie’s Cafe
800 Divisadero St
San Francisco, CA 94117-1506
(415) 563-9780
Grubgirl had a hankering for some biscuits in sausage gravy. Along with her hungover friend HH, we descended upon this site, across from that bar, Fly. Decent, diverse crowd of folks in a traditional diner. We were about to be seated when we decided to check out Blue Jay’s Cafe up the street.
Average cost of items on BJC’s menu was $2-3 more than at Eddies. We headed back to Eddie’s.

Crystal Cove Shake Shack
7703 E. Coasts Highway
Newport Beach, CA
Right off the freeway, near Crystal Cove State Park (a beautiful state beach) is a non-descript lunch spot that serves great shakes.
For $3.25 you can get 1 of several flavors…their famous flavor is supposedly Date, but I didn’t know that until later.
You can also blend up to 3 flavors, for $3.75… and you get one free powder addition: malt, or soy protein.
Check it out and drink it while watching the waves hit the sand below.
