Fave Spot

I'm in love, love, love with my new neighborhood find, 5 Spot. It's not so new, but I only just discovered its charms in the last few months.

5 Spot sepcializes in regional American cooking, and is a great choice for breakfast or lunch. I can't vouch for dinner (or know if they are even open) as I have not been there for that meal. They offer a city theme that rotates every 3 months, and they offer specials that correcpond to it - this month its North Beach and San Francisco. They change out artowrk, decorations, and the menu each time.

They offer lots of scrambles, hash borwns to die for, and french toast made from Briche toast that is so thick and delicious, it will meake you head spin. I recently had their Toad the the Hole special (a French Toast with a hole in the middle, filled with an egg) and their chocolate sauce and almond slivers French Toast (for their North Beach theme) that was so utterly decadent and delicision (ask for the chocolate sauce on the side if it can get too much for you like I did)

The staff is super polite and friendly and, even though they usually have a line outside, if you go at around 9 am or later in the day, you are golden.

We took various visitirs in town to 5 Spot and they all enjoyed it. Check it out!
