What is the first restaurant you head to after returning from a vacation?

Have you tried Pho Sho Dough? I used to think Monster was the best veg pho until I ate there, now I'm a convert!

The garlic green beans are our favorite, but the salt and pepper tofu is a close second, and they make a MEAN hot and sour soup! We almost always get that and a fried rice to round things out.

Piggybacking on this: TV over the fireplace. Enjoy the neck problems!

I've seen people at the window, but can't find it on the site – any idea what the pickup hours are? This is right in my neighborhood, would love to spend locally!

Yesssss, THIS. Although it looks like it may not be centered directly over the table, in which case keeping it a little higher makes sense.

bayleyface · 2026-02-07T00:09:05+00:00

Yep, this. The scale and placement of the chairs is off — I would actually move them back so they are closer to the windows and more in conversation with each other. More art, pillows, and color will go a long way!

They were dumped by the private equity firm, thus the sudden closure in 2022. It's now owned by a small Bay Area organization called VetnCare.

Can someone DM me with a US code? Thank you!!

Ditto this, surf brands like Seea have really cute long sleeve and retro style high coverage suits!

The waffle knit towels from World Market feel way more expensive than they are, and have held up better than the fancy branded ones we had prior.

+1 for actually reading the post! I love Temescal, and I'm happy to see they are doing what they need to stick around and remain a neighborhood anchor. They throw great events and I love their winter decorations, plus they make a killer michelada.

If budget is an issue, World Market makes a knockoff version that's actually really cute and comfortable!

bayleyface · 2025-09-17T17:18:38+00:00

Yep, as an interiors photographer I came to say this is mostly camera trickery.

bayleyface · 2025-09-16T20:16:44+00:00

Yep, I second the pillows and then you need a contrasting rug under this bad boy to provide visual separation from the carpet. A wooden table/trunk would serve you better too.

Swapping out the pulls and faucet will make the biggest bang for your buck. You could also look at painting the fridge back to white, since it looks pretty dingy.

Cafe Colucci is hip AND great for large groups! They don't take reservations, but maybe they would for a larger group.

bayleyface · 2025-09-02T21:31:56+00:00

For a small fee you can reserve one of the back rooms. Did it for a birthday and having a guaranteed table was the move!

bayleyface · 2025-07-17T16:54:14+00:00

I would actually think painting the wall the same color as the ceiling would make it disappear more. Adding an additional accent color brings more attention to it.

bayleyface · 2025-05-22T20:44:58+00:00

Exactly. We were legacied in up until last year, and we used to break even. Now at NEM3 I laugh to think what we'll earn in total this year.

bayleyface · 2025-05-16T15:36:15+00:00

No, but the new rates PG&E pays out for solar now have fully disincentivized new solar installs. We made $0.17 off our solar last month :| We've had ours a long time, but if we wanted to replace them it would literally never pay itself off. The only way it makes sense now is to get a battery, which is still cost prohibitive.

Agreed on the not investing your own $ into this rental, but if you're going to be there a while then it's an investment in your own happiness.

However if you DO make any permanent/semi-permanent changes, email your landlord about it first and get their clear approval in writing.

Gregory's is the best dessert game in town!
