guess who's in town!

what is better than a visit from parents?

i couldn't be happier that my cute mom + dad

arrived in san francisco for the next few days...

just when i really needed it! i am smiling a mile

wide. this will be their last visit here for a while 

because they are moving to south africa for the

next 3 years, so i am soaking up every second 

of this time with them. they arrived late at night

to our new tiny studio that we got set up just

in time for them {and lots of other visitors 

coming soon}. we stayed up late eating 

doughnuts and chatting and being together, 

then fell asleep and woke up first thing in the

morning to head to a fun breakfast at a place

i've been dying to try! it was a perfect 
start to their visit, and so yummy. 

we love breakfast in this family, so i'm 
glad i took them to a great new place 
close to our neighborhood-- honey bistro!

it's right downtown and has only been open

for 6 months..but it has completely changed 

the street corner it's on! the owner jeannie

owns another restaurant in san francisco,

SAM's diner...and she has done such a great

job with honey bistro. she says her main

priorities are to make the food simple

and make it fresh. she has great chefs

and staff, and although they are only open

on weekdays right now because of being

downtown, they also offer catering and

private events, and they may start to do

weekend brunch...fingers crossed!

good breakfast + time with parents = happy girl.
we loved the egg white veggie omelette. 
everything was so fresh, and avocado 
just makes everything better. the greek
yogurt parfait also tasted amazing and
started off the morning right!

^^ let's just talk about this for a second...
 the famous "honey bear" sandwich:
layers of nutella, peanut butter, banana, 
+ honey with bacon all on toasted sourdough.
this alone is good enough to come here for.

^^ homemade hot chocolate. i am actually pretty
picky about my hot chocolate {i think i got it from
my dad...} and this was no swiss miss! it was
homemade and so delicious. we all shared it
and it was gone so fast! good hot chocolate is
the sign of a good place.. don't you agree?

^^ he thought so. 

thank you to jeannie! we loved chatting and

hearing about all the thought she puts into

her restaurants. i can't believe she balances

two places and catering on the side. she is

the sweetest and makes honey bistro the best!

we're so glad that honey bistro is now in

the city and close to our apartment...it just

may become one of "our places!"

happy weekend, lots more fun from time

with my parents' visit to come!
