I've always trusted Divisadero Florist to sell me the freshest flowers with just the right amount of advice for their care thrown in. I love their selection and have been able to find the sweetest smelling Sterling Roses here. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Glad to be able to find them on Divisadero all these years.
Wide selection; high quality; friendly service; helpful staff

While I always trust Rick Steves' travel books as my first source when globe trotting, I also had a fabulous experience on a "Best of Italy" tour led by his qualified and entertaining guides. This company really knows how to make the travel experience meaningful and "down-home." Staying in the heart of cities or villages, getting to know the locals, eating/shopping where they do, really makes the European experience come to life. If you can attend one of their travel weekends in Edmonds, too, that's a fabulous travel motivator!
Great company, all around!

I've always found European Cleaners does a consistently good job for all my dry cleaning needs. Parking is relatively easy being located in the Safeway shopping area off Fillmore Street. European Cleaners has discounts for early drop-offs Although I find the cost of dry cleaning exhorbitant in San Francisco these days, European Cleaners has average prices.
Reliable; easy parking; discounts

The Belvedere Hotel was a great place for my Mom and I to stay while visiting New York for the first time one December. We had a large room for only $75 (hoteldiscounts.com) overlooking the street with two king beds. There was a breakfast room on the lower floor that was comfortable and clean with a buffet-style breakfast served for several hours each morning. It was an easy walk to the touring boats and Times Square with the 1/2 price ticket booths. We loved the location and the price! Great place for the person who isn't interested in paying $200 for a hotel room!
Big rooms; great location

Bellachs has wonderful leather furniture! My folks bought these oh-so-comfortable deep green armchairs that none of their guests wish to leave. There are always fights over who gets them, since once you sink in, aaaaggghh! Petite women can curl up in them completely! I love my Natuzzi leather loveseat from Bellachs as well. My family has consistently trusted these folks to find the most comfortable, long-lasting leather furniture to make our homes more comfortable.

Patisserie Delanghe is wonderful! I have loved its cakes and pastries since discovering it. I especially love their Princess Cake (green marzipan icing, white cake with cream and cherry syrup filling) and the wonderful mini-cream puffs with caramel glazing. We used to bring these to the office for every birthday! The quality of all their products is superb! Even when low-carbing, I can't resist stopping in here once in a while. Right on the corner of Fillmore and Bush, it's a convenient stop in the Fillmore District.
Pros: Fabulous Princess Cake and mini-cream puffs; superb baking.
Edit: Forgot to add...they only take cash or checks, no credit cards. I remembered the hard way yesterday, with a last minute run to the ATM before I could steal away with my bakery box of goodies!

Dr. Vrouvas has cared for my eyes for over 10 years. He's professional but personable as well, always with a kind enquiry about my life and family. He has skillfully managed my exams and prescriptions for contacts and glasses over the years, and I've consistently had great results with colored and clear daily wear contacts. The office is convenient to Sutter/Stockton Garage parking and Union Square.
Professional but caring; great location

What a gem! I have an undergrad degree w/graduate courses under my belt and experience with multiple colleges and universities. At COD I felt, for the first time, that all the teachers personally cared about my performance. They had great open-door policies with concerned and professional TAs also available to help in labs. I took full course loads with great course choices and times.
This school also has a tremendous program to encourage students in math and science. This specialized program provides labs, special study groups, etc., to lead many first-generation college students on to degrees at higher-level universities and colleges.
If only I had had this kind of program starting college the first time!! Wow! Kudos to COD!
Pros: Tremendous math/science programs; caring teachers
Cons: High demand for classes limited by funding shortfalls

James Monroe is staffed with caring, professional teachers. My niece (diagnosed with ADD, behind two grade levels and transferring in) thrived there last year and is now flourishing this year at grade level. Principal Nishiguchi is concerned, attentive and makes every effort to meet and get to know the families of her charges. Even the crossing guards know you by name and wave as you pass by on your way to work or the mall! What a school should be!
Caring, professional staff and teachers
