Today’s 4-star review: I love having this place here! It's open late, it has good ice cream pints to choose from, the salad bar has always been fresh and has a pretty decent selection of items (not as good as whole foods, but that's an apple, this is an orange, just isn't right to compare, ...although both are pricey.) The staff are always friendly, the other shoppers are always an interesting surprise. It's great. It's not somewhere you shop everyday or for a whole week of food, but it's great for a bit there and here when you don't want to cook or need a sweet-fix or snack-fix or forgot some eggs or spices or bread or wine or such. -
Today’s 5-star review: Definitely still and always a five star place, esp. after being here a while now and with all my coming back to buy bottles and have a few glasses with pals. -
Today’s 5-star review: This is right up my alley literally and figuratively and i love that it's there. Came before 7 on a friday night and no wait except for the food to be prepared. Benefits of my nappy 'hood. Getting better all the time :) -
Today’s 4-star review: A VERY local nail and waxing spa! yay! Came here for a pedi and wax. It's a great unpretentious and very nice, comfy, friendly sunny place that seems to treat everyone great and creates a really pleasant, relaxed vibe. The prices aren't bargain or anything, but they are reasonable for the extras you get treated to (warm scented thing on your neck that feels a little like a hot leaded anti-xray vest, the tea and cheesecake slice, the nice chairs and cushions, the care in cleanliness, the rose petals in the individual pedicure basins, the dryers they bring to you so you don't have to move around until all dry.) Seemed to be a nice blend of people enjoying the services, too - men, gals, couples, cool individuals from all ages and walks of life. -
Today’s 3-star review: three solid stars for being a chill place to sit and get something to snack on and drink when i don't feel like going far. AND for having wifi, to give me a nice break out of the house when i feel like checking email or doing some work-from-home. -
Today’s 3-star review: The mystery of these community gardens..... how can you rate them.... it's like wanting to rate the potential energy of something, or like wanting to rate them relative to what it would be without them, potential negative energy i guess?????..... it just isn't fair either way.... ok...... the good of this ONE particular community garden: this is a great little space - but then again, not so little space once you are inside it - of greenery and plants and nature in the dirty south of market space otherwise known as home-sweet-home... the people who seem to have plots of space within the space are well, different, but nice. it's an amazing little maze of flowers and chickens and bees and tables and trellises that is a total shock and mystery. it's really surreal. (surreal means 5 stars). and the bad (damn.... i already regret this.): this place is creepy. does it attract homeless crack head alcoholics, or does it make them into the friendlier ones they are when you have to step over them in the morning. why can't this community park be normal? what is normal? why do i feel over-privileged in here? am i just insecure? why do i even care? maybe i don't.... ok....too many questions.............. damn....... (that all means 2 stars) OK. so i want these community parks to succeed and i don't want them to disappear, and even if it stays the same, it's better than them not being there at all. This means 3+ stars for the park/garden, and 3- for me, damn..... http://www.sfgro.org/faq.htm -
Today’s 3-star review: Nice place to eat, decent food but not great. Still very decent, satisfying in that tasty yet shallow sort of way, but well, decent, again. The service and style is so pleasant, it's relaxing and i like it anyways. -
Today’s 4-star review: it fun, it's like a real thrift store, something which sorta sometimes kinda seems like its been overtaken by the thrift stores who pretend to be thrift stores except can't really be comparable because they charge crazy high prices for clothes you usually have to go home and wash. this is fun and cheap and since my debt to income ratio is apparently too high to refinance, i guess i will be coming here more often. plus all the shuffling through racks and trying on and taking off clothes burns calories so it also will be good for my overworked stressed out rising fat to bone ratio. -
Today’s 4-star review: another new market in da hood with loads of fresh fruit just glowing outside whistling you in, and best of all, even when my broke ass is waiting for payday because i over transferred and over spent, i got to walk home with a whole bunch of strawberries for just .89. well the variety isn't really that great, but they have some great things and great prices on them now and then that make it worthwhile checking out. -
Today’s 4-star review: yay what's not to love about pocky and scratch offs when you feel like killing a few dollars... or anytime for that matter...? not to mention frozen taro and custard buns this far from japan and china town. cute clean little market full of asian market goodies and the usual needs. -
Today’s 4-star review: Not as shocking as i expected. Apparently has gotten more mainstream, but I've never been before this year, so I don't really know. Certainly no family event for the kids and grandparents, but then again, there would be a crowd for that, too, as there were plenty of old grandads jerking off while smiling for cameras, and plenty of skinny little boys, too, who looked a bit underdeveloped. That is not to sound bad. I liked this street fair better than most - more sex than consumerism - hmm... Less degrading than a bunch of frat boys and beer, too - hmm... And all the shapes and sizes, how can you not love all the variety of humanity. I'll take it over the Union Street Fair. -
Today’s 5-star review: it makes walking more fun and makes museums less fun. -
Today’s 5-star review: Running can never beat this (well i think it made me like running because i never much cared for it before, and now i guess i really like running and maybe think this can be beat if you really like just running, but that's just an updated longwinded trangression...oops...). Everyone's said it all. It's like a parade turned inside out, instead of standing around watching lame floats, you get to be the parade and run through the middle of the parade. Feels so good at the end, rain or shine. Forget the public transportation. Just walk to lunch or home or around the park when you're all done, and stretch those legs! K... the only problem is those damn portapoties they shove in front of my windows every damn time... but because i love the event anyways, and just can jump in from home, i guess i shouldn't be bitchn. -
Today’s 4-star review: You can find just about anything here it seems, plus thousands of foods you didn't know existed. It's like the biggest best art supply store for foods - they have all sorts of cool food stuff material to work and play and mix and explore with. And they have great pre-made desserts, too, my fav! The only reason I don't go here more often (and knock off one star) is because i had a bad experience with a certain soon to be ex being verbally attacked by one of their defending co-op employee/owners for pre-drinking the juice we were buying (like we weren't going to pay for it?! puu-leeese! give us a little good faith trust...) Anyways, i still love the place, and wish i went there more often, since it's not the most convenient place for me to get to. *update*... ok... much more convenient now and growing on me more and more... love the prepared foods and everything... almost 5 stars -
Today’s 5-star review: perfect late night snack, perfect alternative to my other favorite late night snack (quesadilla of course). french accents with a favorite late night snack, yes perfect. -
Today’s 5-star review: Unplanned fun is one of the best funs and after one thing led to another it was starting to get fun and i ended up across the street from here with my buddy devouring a crepe when we saw all these santas in line and had to cross and get in line and go. Didn't let down. Fun band, easy going crowd all into the music, great fun really-real mashups by the band (and by the DJ, too, afterwards), fun dancin crowd to blend into, little absinthe bar was cute. Was the first holiday-theme party i was at this year and all those santas and mashups of xmas songs kinda almost made me feel xmasy besides from just cold. Just wish they took something other than cash. -
Today’s 1-star review: This update is for the service department. I hate it. I've been taking my little c-class in for 2.5 years for all the standard A and B services, plus a number or other items like new tires and brakes, and the more I do, the more I am put-off by the service and question whether I am actually giving my car true quality care to keep it running optimally. I've found over time that the recommended services they "suggest" just aren't dependable or trustworthy. For instance, they'll say the air filter is dirty, and then next time when I specifically ask them to check it, they say it's fine. They'll say it needs a brake fluid flush, then when I have the pads and rotors replaced, they'll check it and say, no, i don't really need it yet. It just seems like BS. Some service advisers are more helpful than others, but this last time was so bad I'm done with them. Instead of listening to my concerns and explaining what "diagnostic tests" service B did and did not provide, he just told me he wouldn't get any advice from a mechanic about what the apparently "additional" diagnostic test would actually provide (and he couldn't tell me anything himself) unless I paid $175 for it first, which I wasn't about to do unless someone who actually turned my car on and listened to it told me it was worthwhile to do. Then he ignored my interest to have them replace the fuel filter when they did the oil change if it was recommended (since it was recommended the last few times after I had it serviced there), and then it was left as another recommended item to do again, which at this point I don't really know if I can trust anyways! I thought service advisers were supposed to help explain and communicate the work done, but this last one just acted like a mindless defensive shield against customers (me) actually being able to accurately find out and understand what is and is not needed or recommended for my car. I have no faith in what is getting done - except the bare minimum, which I presume they do fine, but am not so confident in now. -
Today’s 4-star review: Came here in search of a notary. When all else fails, and you need a notary, anywhere near a criminal court is your best bet. Found out they are actually open til 1am for notary needs. Great place to go to sign away your life, your love, your money, your soul if you think you have one or ever did... who knows.... Highly recommend it for your next notary needs. -
Today’s 5-star review: Great furniture store! All mahogany wood, finished/stained different shades, with a great variety of the usual wooden furniture pieces - all sizes. It's made in Indonesia and the owners seem to organize it all, doing a lot of custom builds in addition to selling the storeroom pieces. Good prices, probably the best anywhere for finished solid wood with sturdy quality, without being clumpy and dull. The piece we got had a little knot that we noticed, so they filled and sanded and refinished it wonderfully before we picked it up - can barely tell it's there. Some pieces might be considered to have a slightly, barely "distressed" feel, you might say, but really i wouldn't describe it like that - there's a really nice elegance to it all, a rare simplicity and quality to the pieces. Laid back, pleasant atmosphere, too, with really good service when you ask. -
Today’s 2-star review: Nothing's changed except my thinking that this place is just kind of boring (and not much better of a deal, either) with all the other fun places to go for workout clothes. -
Today’s 5-star review: ReggaeGold is the best ass grindin' good you can have. Every 2nd and 4th Saturday, go. 20 bucks is a lot, and cash only sucks, but it's so kick ass fun, whatever. Wear anything you like to sweat and move in, take fun friends, love the crowd, great vibe. -
Today’s 5-star review: for the indi pop rocks part. such a dork but love it. -
Today’s 3-star review: Sometimes its handy A convenient cold night stop nothing more to say (that's a haiku for an artless store and nonpoetic-feeling yelpette) -
Today’s 3-star review: You HAVE to have a technique in shopping here. This is a running *example* checklist of my happy shopping dates with costco: 1) turbotax delux 2) vacuum 3) fastrak responder And an *example" checklist of lousy first impressions: 1) way too many kirkland disinfectant counter wipes 2) stupid silly slippers 3) impulse quick easy wine buy when you should wait and go to the local organic wine shop instead so... rating stands for now... and slowly edging up. -
Today’s 3-star review: i like bars where you can basically do whatever you feel like and no one gets on you for it, whether it's doing nothing or something. Gay bars seem to be good at this. I was here too early on a Saturday night to give a full-kind-of-general review (10pm), but it is what it is and that was just me, my pal, a little bonfire over a big grill, left over food from some firefighters holiday party that afternoon, a guy heating up some left over chili and mac-n-cheese on top the outside patio heaters that he had to climb a picnic table to get to, a few odd guys looking frozen like stiffs in the back, totally unmoving for what seemed like hours, and that's about it. Still entertaining though for a starting spot, despite how lame all that may sound.

Today’s 4-star review: From the yellowy wood panelling, to the deer antler chandelair, and the big twisted pretzels lining the shelves, you know this place has got to be german, munich style, all the way. It's cozy (small and tight), but the tables are big and the service is leisurely. The big guy running it seems a quirky fellow, and they serve up real good traditional german food. Loved the sauerkraut and red sweet-sour cabbage side. A few veggie options - i got the cheese spatzel dinner - imagine kick-ass, white mac & cheese with great thick, doughy, firm noodles. yum. filling. i liked the apple strudel, too. Nothing stupendous, but all just really good german fare. plenty of beer, too, of course. Oh, but skip the side salad (just a small plate of iceberg). -
Today’s 3-star review: Ok, catalog pictures looked much better than the real thing. I'm not hating on the low-cost, chic-style trend wave, but, well, sorta i am. Its a let down to sit on a couch that looks kinda cute but feels like cheap foam. I guess i'm just seeing us fly faster and faster into brave new world's disposable one-time-wear, one-time-use clothes and now furniture. I'm sick of the shallowness, what can i say. Still, breaking through my issues, it's a great store to walk through, as the design and layout is pleasant and refreshing, just for a walkthrough, at least. -
Today’s 4-star review: It must be 4 stars when the sales suck and leave you realizing you just fell into a trap, captured only to buy their high priced gear instead of the left over reject stuff, and still, you give in, smile, leave broke, and keep coming back. -
Today’s 1-star review: this place sucks. only thing cool is the cow outside. dress code my ass, full of lame asses. ok - to make this a little more useful, if you are into places like this... 1. do not wear a hat - unless you like snotty security guards and really want to talk to them up close 2. appreciate that you can walk right out and not deal with a cover charge 3. it does get a crowd in there if you want a crowd... with no qualifications 3. um, that's it.
