Sibby

716 S Railroad Ave
San Mateo, CA 9440

Occasion: Just because... We had a fun filled day that started out with Brunch at Brendas then ended up around the block for some Philz coffee, which led to hanging out at my big sis' place before we headed to SJ. After our little field trip down to the south bay for some Vietnamese grubbing, we headed back to my big sis' place for girl talk/ wedding talk...and of course desserts from sibby's! They only take orders and you must have an order of at least half a dozen.  I decided to order a dozen with the Sibby Sampler that included a variety of their most popular flavors (half for our girls fun day and half for family). 07.21.12

From the top going clock wise: Chocolate & Cream, Cinnamon Latte, Butter Cup, July's flavor of the month: Smore's, Grandma's Chocolate Tea Cake, Red Velvet
My favorite to least favorite: chocolate and cream, butter cup, cinnamon latte, red velvet, grandma's chocolate tea cake then the smore's

The chocolate cakes were a lot more moist than the other ones.  I love fluffy, light frosting cupcakes.  The simpler the better.  Though these are delicious, I've definitely had better.  My fondest memories of these cupcakes were for my 25th birthday.

B Street and Vine

San Mateo, CA 94401

Occasion: Class got canceled so we decided to head here for some dinner. 04/25/12

We got the bruschetta and their soup of the day

 

Soup of the day: Tomato basil soup

It was nice and warm for the cold rainy day.  Sweet with savory and a nice creamy texture.  Not my best, but still satisfying.

 

Bruschetta

For $12 you get to choose 4 different kinds of bruschetta. What a deal right? We chose a Lox: with salmon, cream cheese, capers and chives.  Prosciutto with figs and cheese. Apple, brie and walnuts and an eggplant with feta cheese.  All of which were delicious.  I just love the variety and the option for us to mix and match based on our own personal likings.  I've heard great things of this place and was glad to have finally been able to try it out.  I've recommended this place to some friends and family; all of whom are fans of this place! I can't wait to come back for more! It's a great place for lunch, dinner or even a snack!
