The Mill San Francisco

A few weeks ago, I visited San Francisco with my whole fam bam for the first time. On the way to check out the famous painted ladies, we decided to have a pit stop and found The Mill. Located in 736 Divisadero Street, San Francisco (between Fulton and Grove st), The Mill's quite close to Alamo Square. You could spend your leisure time buy a cup of coffee, grab your dog, go to the park and absorb San Francisco's paranomic view.

I gotta say, I love the vibe inside and out. With the high ceiling, sophisticated modern white and wood interior, it doesn't suffocate and you just feel right at home. All you wanna do just stay there for the whole day! (forreal)

The Mill is a joint venture between Josey Baker Bread and Four Barrel Coffee who not only sells soft scrumptious tasty bread and rich tasty coffee but they do sell coffee merchandise and other kitchen utensils. If you want to check them out and buy them online, click here for prices!

Country, Wholeweat, Seed Feast, Wonder Bread, Big Country, all for $6 each

Coffee of the Day

I do recommend you to get their toast with almond butter and your favorite coffee with almond milk, well, I could be bias. Yet, give it a go! However, it is better to buy the whole loaf for $6, when it costs you $3.75 for a toast. With a whole loaf you can enjoy the toast for the whole week! (almost)

A lil' decor

Dandelion Chocolate for $8 each.  

Hazelnut Brownie and Latte with Almond milk

To be honest I'm not a coffee person myself, but damn! The coffee was a perfection in a cup! Not to exaggerate  but it was the best coffee I have ever tasted. The brownie, as all brownie promises, was very rich in chocolate (couldn't finish it in one go!)

Overall, The Mills is the best place to hang out with your friend on the weekend, have your light breakfast or snack or just because you want to have your share of coffee for the day. As nice as it is, try to get in earlier or off-peak hours to avoid the line!

That's it folks!

Until next time,

Red Ned's Gourmet Pie Bar

Red Ned's Gourmet Pies

Last weekend (Australian Day Long Weekend), my friends (Chameleonic Adornment and Encrusted Gems) and I decided to go to Port Stephens to have a lil' tan. Despite the fact that it rained cats and dogs for the whole weekend, we enjoyed our getaway. 

On the last day of the trip, we visited Red Ned's Gourmet Pies because its unique presentation and different flavour of their pies (50 of them!!)  

Ned Kelly Mannequin 

It was easy to find the pie shop and because of this life size Ned Kelly mannequin, and I'm sure you wouldn't miss it as well.     

 

They have so many variety, it takes a while for me to choose what I should eat. I was going to buy one of each, but I'll have to auction my camera off because there's too many of them!! 

The Pies ranging from $3.00 to $7.90, depends on what you picked. 

Chicken Cordon Bleu Bacon and Cheese

After all the argument in my head, I decided to pick Chicken Cordon Bleu Bacon and Cheese. I couldn't stop at my first bite (Lucky I took a picture before I took a bite). 

The pastry was so soft yet so crispy. I could taste the bacon, cheese and chicken, everything! Just in one bite. I didn't say a word at all while I finished my pie. It tasted soo delicious even if I was full at the time. 

It was worth getting rained for. 

Some of many Red Ned's awards

I was going to steal this doorstopper

Ned Kelly Tin Man

So thats it folks! Whenever you go to Port Stephens, don't forget to visit Red Ned's Gourmet Pie Bar! 

I for one, will definitely go back. 

Until next time,

Koskela Studio

When I went to Kitchen By Mike, I took a quick walk around Koskela Studio and I found pretty amazing pieces and quirky furnitures, for adult and kids. 

Here you can find from stove, gardening needs to sofas and art pieces. 

When I was at the entrance of the studio, I could see these black and neon hands around, I thought they were a walking guide for you to walk on to your right first (which was weird because it's suppose to be feet, right?), and then I found out that that are for a charity called Wall Of Hands. You can donate and but a hand (the Sticker) for $5 and then you can stick it on the wall below, with the other donated hands. Or you can check out their website here.

Zpagetti

 Zpagetti yarn made from offcuts of new fashion garments. It is easy for a quick crochet and knitting. I bought a couple of these, so watch my blog, there will be some DIYs coming soon.

Some wooden forms I found under the display table. Sneaky!
