Foodspotting: The egg custard tarts here are the best & rival those found in Hong Kong. It’s worth the wait to get a hold of these buttery delicious treats. Just don’t make the mistake of only getting one! - Fiona

Foodspotting: One of Fiona’s favorite brunch spots, Zazie is known for their perfect Hollandaise sauce and to-die-for potatoes. The potatoes are fried with whole cloves of garlic! Yum.

Foodspotting: You can’t go wrong here, but the Lomo Saltado is a must. So simple and satisfying -- beef, french fries, onions, tomatoes and rice -- a perfectly well rounded meal. - Jeremy

Foodspotting: The plates here are good, but the sandwiches are even better. What started as a farmer’s market booth now has 2 locations near each other in San Rafael, the “big place” and the “small place.” - Jeremy
Foodspotting: You’ve never had Turkey Meatballs like this! On top of buttery Orzo, they’re perfect for a cold winter evening with one of their tasty reds. Don’t miss the Baklava either. - Jeremy

Foodspotting: The Maryland Crab Soup is my favorite lunch option here. There is enough crab in the generously-portioned container of creamy soup to make it lunch for two. - Amy, head of social media at Foodspotting

Foodspotting: The chocolate chip cookies here are Amy’s favorite outside of the ones she bakes at home. And Macchiato’s long, but quick-moving lines attest to the quality of coffee and espresso here.

Foodspotting: Try the pan fried pork buns (sheng jian bao). I’ve tried them at many places since and never found their equal! (Bonus: The eight-treasure cake is not bad either.) - Alexa
Foodspotting: For great, cheap snacks head to Yonsei University and seek out the Ho-tteok. This sweet little pancake is filled with brown sugar, honey, chopped peanuts, and cinnamon. Yum! - Ted

Foodspotting: This is the only place I’ll go to satisfy the torta monster in my belly. Try the Tortas Con Jamon, Huevo Y Chorizo with a fresh strawberry smoothie or carrot & orange juice. - Ted
