Chocolat Creamery

We went into this small eatery on 509 5th Ave (Gaslamp) in search of some crepes, and it turned out to be excellent all round. I found the Mozarella sampler on the appetizer menu particularly impressive. The paninis and crepes we tried were also very good. They also have a large selection of Gelato which we unfortunately were not able to get around to.

Champagne French Bakery

Had been planning to go to this Carmel Vally place for quite a while, and got to visit a few days ago. The desserts are simply great. Smaller servings than Extraordinary, but equally tasty. Need to try their brunch one of the coming Sundays.

People seem to love this place on yelp. Menu on website. They have locations throughout SoCal.

Bangkok Spices Thai

A very tasty and affordable Thai place on El Cajon Blvd. Beats the Hillcrest/MiraMesa/SolanaBeach places on price, and is no slouch on quality either. The vegetarian appetizer (Satay) was delicious, and the two chicken curries we got were good too.

People on yelp like it. Menu and timing etc on their web site.
