San Marzano

Only a few years old, San Marzano offers homemade, high quality pasta for just $9. It's been a staple in my rotation of favorite restaurants--it's rustic and perfect for a casual hang out or date night.  Their quality never falters and prices still remain affordable for everyone's budget. If pasta isn't quite your thing they also have a variety of paninis and appetizers to suit your fancy. There is also a separate brunch menu available which includes bottomless mimosas if you order alongside a meal. For my coffee lovers, coffee is bottomless for only $3. 

The beautiful thing at San Marzano's is their customization with their pastas--pick a pasta then a sauce and dig in!

Matcha Cafe Wabi

I think I fell in love with Matcha Cafe Wabi at first sight. I discovered the cafe through one of my favorite bloggers (here). It's cute and offers a wide variety of treats to satisfy your matcha needs and cravings. I was eyeing the affogato (matcha or espresso) and parfait, but I'm leaving that for when the weather gets a bit warmer. P.S.: It's quite a walk, but totally worth it.
