When I worked across the street I always bought Hannah's strawberry muffins and m & m cookies. Now that I'm not working at the job from hell, I do love to stop by and get a cookie when I'm in Emeryville. The cookies are chewy and thin and really good.

Furenzu describes their cuisine as "new wave Asian
cuisine served tapas style." They try to use organic and fresh ingredients. Their bathroom is freaking GORGEOUS.
I can't help it. I can't think of this restaurant without thinking of their bathroom. The whole place is gorgeous, but the bathroom is so cool. I mean, the sink is like a golden basin set on top of a dresser. But it's a sink!
They are fun: they do things like have people email them for free drinks coupons to celebrate their anniversary, or give people a free appetizer if they can guess what on the menu is "in a nest." The menu itself is cute: different sections are named things like "not yet large plates," and items are called things like "shrimp in a nest" and other cute wonders. Some items can be too sweet, but by and large it is a tasty place.

I am a daily Starbucks patron and have been to Starbucks in over 30 states...after two visits to this Starbucks it is apparent that "hustle" is not a name of the game. If the cashiers would spend less time slacking, talking and gossiping, they wouldn't risk losing customers in the 20-deep line nor irritate patient customers who have to hear their inane gossip while both of them attend to the food in the microwave, which obviously requires the "talents" of just one barista. Come on!!! It is 8:30 a.m. on a weekday morning...business people want to get their items and get on their way. Step it up!
Pros: Good quality food and drink product, as always
Cons: Staff way to chit-chatty amongst themselves...don't plan on hustle or quick service at the busy rush hour time...slackers at the registers

We stopped by here for my roommates birthday on our way back from Tahoe. We arrived at 5pm and we not seated until 7pm. They flubbed on our reservations and we were forced to wait. Once we were seated (finally!) the server took forever to take our order! She insisted on making sure everyone had their drinks first (because we had some stragglers that arrived late). By the time we got our food it was 830pm. The manager even had to come by to help. He had to refresh our chips, salsa AND water. The food was mediocre and came out slowly... I've NEVER had to wait that long to be served at any other Chevy's location! I suggest you find another place to eat. This place was the pits. The ONLY thing that was nice?
The view.

We have warped standards for chocolate in this country. I love Godiva, but it is not all that. It worries me to see people rave about it like it is a new god come walking among them or something.
Godiva has pretty good chocolate, and then they fill it with all kinds of crazy stuff that is often too sugary or just too weird. If my chocolate is good, I probably don't want it filled with an infusion of mango and passionfruit mixed with chopped almonds and whipped into a giddy frenzy. I can live without that. Just like I can live without out-of-season strawberries dipped into chocolate and sold for five dollars. Can't you?
