Lunch at Peach Cafe

Had lunch at the Peach Cafe, on the north side of Colorado near Ivy. Always nice and cheerful here. Got the Chicken Pesto salad with a slice of multigrain toast for $11 and an iced tea for $2.75. 

I was tempted by the 112 pound PC Burger but then I looked a bit more closely ...





Anyway, the food was fresh and delicious and the atmosphere pleasant.

Dinner at Ramen Naruto


Dinner at Ramen Naruto, a new restaurant about half a block east of Myrtle on the south side of Lemon. They’re still setting up so at the moment it’s cash only. Kinda hip decor. I ordered the Spicy Miso Tori Ramen (chicken) for $11.50 and added an egg for $1.50, plus an iced tea for $2.50. Nice rich broth. Liked it a lot.

Dinner at Noodle Street


Dinner at the new Noodle Street, in the Vons shopping center. Got the Curry Beef Noodle bowl for $9.75 and a watermelon juice for $4.25. Clean, modern atmosphere. Super busy, maybe because of it’s just opened and it was the last day for 30% off. Food was good.

Lunch at LeRoy’s

Lunch at LeRoy’s, on the north side of Huntington a bit west of Mayflower. I’ve been pigging out lately so I got the Ground Beef Patty from the Dieters’ Special section of the menu for $9.25. That and an iced tea for $2.75  I resisted the temptation to get a Deep Fried Twinkie Sundae. Well! “Diet” at LeRoy’s certainly doesn’t mean small portions. I couldn’t finish it all. What I could finish was good, though.

Breakfast at Nano Cafe


Breakfast at Nano Cafe, on the north side of Duarte Road just east of Mayflower. Got the Italian Frittata for $11.99 and a coffee for $2.79. It came with potatoes (I substituted cottage cheese) and toast. It also came with bell peppers and I’m not a fan of bell peppers, but that was my own fault as it clearly said “peppers” on the menu. But it was fresh and good and a normal person who likes bell peppers would have been pleased.

Dinner at Cafe X2O


Dinner at Cafe X2O, on the north side of Foothill just west of Melrose. Got the Chicken Kebab over spinach instead of over rice (an extra $2) for $14 and an iced tea for $3.  Very good. Note: people sometimes smoke hookahs here, so you may catch a whiff.

Coffee at New Pari Passu

Got a cup of coffee today at the new Pari Passu coffee shop at the northwest corner of Myrtle and Foothill. Nice interior. Kind of a minimalist industrial vibe with ceiling fans and art on the walls, and the coffee was good. In addition to various coffee-based drinks, it also serves pastries, flat bread pizzas, quiches and a croque sandwich. (I looked it up; it’s a fried or baked ham and cheese sandwich.) I hope parking won’t be a problem.

Lunch at Thai Divine

Lunch at Thai Divine Bistro, which appears to be the new name for Chang Thai Bistro, on the east side of Myrtle just north of Olive, but it seems pretty much the same except the new name. Got the Chicken Satay lunch for $8.95 and an iced tea for $3.50. Came with a green salad, and was all very nice.
