“Small deli and market”

We stopped by here on the way from Zion for some delicious basic sandwiches and great gelato. They also had a small but decent selection of organic and "natural foods" type snacks and such.

The service was pretty bad though, all sorts of attitude we got -- and all they had to do was take our sandwich order, serve some icecream and ring it up! Hence they lose a couple of stars.

There's a big Apple orchard behind the market, I think they're selling fresh apples there in the season.

“Late ground package pickup”

The UPS Store

There's always parking available just outside the door which is handy (being a place you are likely carrying a bunch of boxes to and all).

More importantly though - you can drop-off your ground packages as late as 6:30pm; most other places have the last ground pickup anywhere between 3 and 5pm.

Air pickup is at 4:30.

“Tasty dinner”

Cheebo

I can completely understand the reviews who complain about the slow service. It seems like it'd be more of an in and out in a hurry place, but it's not - so plan accordingly. How can it take 5-10 minutes to pour beer in a glass?

The service has been slow but friendly on all our visits, so we've taken our time and enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. Ooh - the food. It's been delicious every time! The prices are very reasonable so 5 stars.

“Late night equipment supply”

Pix Camera

Pix closes at midnight most nights. I think they used to be 24 hours, but 18 hours a day to buy supplies or rent equipment is still pretty crazy. :-) Friendly service, too.

“Gigantic selection”

Beverages & More

Alright - so it might not be the best wine shop in town (although it's definitely decent). However they do have a gigantic selection of beers and all sorts of alcoholic beverages. Oh, and good prices!

If you are having a party or just need to stock your bar or fridge for some new drinks, this is the place to go.

“Nice pastries”

Palo Alto Baking Company

Nice French-style pastries and bread. They also had good looking cakes and a tempting sandwich menu, but it was early morning so I didn't try any of them.

“Favorite farmers market”

Hollywood Farmers Market

This farmers market is AWESOME. It's gigantic, on Ivar from Sunset to Hollywood Blvd and on Selma for a block and a half, too. It is every Sunday from 8am to 1pm. Easiest parking is at the Arclight on Sunset (get 1 hour validation at the market).

There are almost 100 stands with fresh fruit and vegetables and dozens with prepared food, bread, handmade soap and so on.

Many of the stands are all organic. Most of our favorites are between Selma and Hollywood.

“Small-ish typical mall store”

Apple Store

Typical mall-sized Apple store and service. The Apple store is nice enough, but it's in the middle of an indoor mall, eek.

Parking was relatively easy to get in and out of (for a mall, anyway :-) )

“Mmn, sake ...”

TAI Yo

Unusually neat sake selection, friendly service, fun interior and decent sushi (it's not Sushi Ike but it was ok).

Open until 3am on Friday and Saturdays!

UPDATE: we went again and the food really was pretty good. They have some nice non-sushi selections, too. I liked the feta-tofu salad. Not as strange as it sounds!

They are open until midnight the rest of the week.

“Tasty raw-ish food”

M Cafe de Chaya

Nice tasty vegan-ish food (I don't think everything is vegan, but a lot of what they had is).

Whatever cake we had for desert was super tasty. Sweet, but not too sweet. Chocolate-ish, but not too heavy. Perfect to finish off a nice light lunch. Mmmnnn.

“Excellent service”

David Ks T-Shirt Printing

When we needed a hundred shirts printed in a hurry we called T-Shirt Pros. They delivered at the promised time and we were very happy with the results. The customer service people were very patient with us every time we (unnecessarily) called and checked on the status of our shirts. :-)

We'll definitely use them again...!

Birds Rotisserie Chicken Cafe & Bar

Good "scene" and drinks and decent food. The service can be REALLY SLOW and a little sloppy but the staff is always friendly. Think cafe (as the name says) more than "restaurant".

It can be a little crazy at night (more bar than cafe).

All this sounds like 3 stars, but we keep coming back and back and back so it must be at least 4. ;-)

“Yummy thai food”

Palms Thai Restaurant

It's not the most consistent of places for the service, but we've had always had good luck with the food here. The menu is big enough that most diners would be proud, so there should be something for just about anyone. :-)

The place is Really Big and a bit loud when it's full, but our Saturday lunches have been good.

On weekend nights they have a Thai Elvis, but we've never been there at the right time. The metal/chain Elvis statue they have is really cool though. :-)

Equinox

A local friend recommended this place and it was great. They have a very cozy patio. Wonderful atmosphere.

The "summer pillow" was popular in our party. I had the oven roasted salmon and it was great.

The drinks we had were okay, but not great. The prices were reasonable. They have a menu on their website, so check it out! :-)

“Hit and miss”

Granville Cafe

The few times we've been here for dinner it's been pretty good. Some of the salads are tasty tasty.

However at lunch time they lose a few stars because of the completely abysmal service. You order before finding a table for lunch, so all they have to do is bring out food and refill drinks and bring missing utensils and such - but even that they manage to make slow and chaotic.

Hobo's

good drinks, relaxed atmosphere, comfy chairs, slow jazzy lounge music - excellent place to hang out for a few drinks.

We didn't try the food but the "lounge menu" looked like standard bar-food fare. The "dinner menu" is American dinner fare - well matching the decor. :-)

“Used to be better”

North End Pizzeria

We used to go here regularly, but at some point they either got new owners or new staff and suddenly ordering or even just picking up was a mess. Decent pizza, sloppy service.

American Tire Depot

These guys are great.

When I needed new tires on my car I bought them from tiredepot.com and had them shipped here. They called me when UPS had delivered the tires and I brought the car over to get the tires swapped while I waited. I forget what they charged, but it was reasonable.

Much later when I had a nail in one of my tires I took it here to get fixed. Eventhough they were busy (people and cars everywhere, it's a popular place) they repaired my tire promptly and only charged me $10 (I think their pricelist said $15 though).

“YellowBot Bandwidth!”

Mzima Networks

Mzima is the bandwidth provider to YellowBot. Their prices are fair and the service has been great and personable.

They are big enough to be professional, small enough that you don't end up as "just a number".

They only do IP transit / bandwidth and private lines - that sort of thing, so you'll need physical space etc with a carrier neutral provider (or in your office in some cases) - but that's likely what you'll want anyway!

Highly recommended.
