Didn't have lunch before driving over with Sam to his place in the City, so we were looking for something to eat, but it was mid-afternoon so we didn't want anything heavy either. Crepes On Cole was right down the block and crepes seemed like a good choice for a light late lunch. I had the Mediterranean Crepe, with eggplant, roasted red bell peppers and other veggies topped with pesto and cheddar. It was exactly what I was looking for, tasty and filling without being heavy. Would've liked a bit more pesto, but if I really wanted pesto I should've just got the Pesto Crepe instead but I wanted the veggies, too. Sam had the strawberry jelly crepe with ice cream. I suspect he was in it more for the ice cream than for the crepe. Felt a bit ripped off on the $2.50 hot apple cider when I found out it was just a bottle of apple juice steamed by the espresso machine and poured into a pint glass with a cinnamon stick stirrer. But the warm drink sure hit the spot on a blustery day, and I got over the San Francisco cost-of-living sticker shock soon enough. A comfortable place on the street corner with plenty of space for the diverse crowd: studentes studying, tourists refueling, and locals just hanging out.
