I really wanted to check out Burlap & Bean, but damn, they are closed on sundays. Since I had driven all the way over there, I decided to drive a bit further to Media and walk around. I usually only go to Media when I have jury duty, so it’s not too often, luckily. But Media is freakin adorable.
What can I say? Seven Stone is a little hippie cafe. They have coffees and some snacks, sandwiches, sweets, soups, etc. There’s an awful lot of reggae playing on their radio.
A bagel sandwich with ham, egg, and cheese. By the time we got there, their bagel options were slim. They pretty much ran out of everything. This was ok.
I had wanted a gingerbread latte but they ran out. So then I ordered a hazelnut and honey latte, but whatever I got had no hazelnut flavor nor honey flavor. In fact, I’m not even quite sure what I got. It was fine though. They’re flavored lattes are a bit pricey. As for the regular cup of coffee, it was really disgusting. It tasted like ashtray, really. You can’t win em all!

Do you know how to get delicious pumpkin waffles? Use this sweet potato waffle recipe, and swap the sweet potato for a can of pumpkin puree.
Then get a sucker with a waffle iron and infinite patience to make them for you. All you have to do is eat em!

Instead of hanging in the Mission for brunch, we took a bit of a hike to Kate’s Kitchen in Lower Haight. It’s a completely non-pretentious place. Don’t be fooled though, it is still staffed by hipsters. But from the outside, it’s totally unassuming. The inside is pretty cozy and cute.
This painting of these fine United States if all kinds of awesome, showing what’s grown and raised in different parts of the country.
These are the ridiculous oatmeal pancakes with bananas and almonds. These are only two. How could anyone possibly eat four of them? They are served with a teeny little bowl of maple syrup. Yes, they’re quite good.
Although there were fancier french toast to be had, some with random stuff heaped on top, I just got the regular orange spice ones. Sometimes I waver from wanting something sweet for brunch or something savory, but these totally won me over that day. The service was fine and prices are pretty darn low. Plus, we didn’t have to wait the ridiculous waits of a lot of the Mission spots!
