I've sworn off Value Village countless times over the years. Over-priced generic crap from suburban wastelands sold to those who (usually) can't afford much in life, let alone the non-value they will inevitably be getting from this store? No thanks.…More »

A sucker for kind people serving up killer coffee, I say no more 4 stars for you, Lynn Canyon Café. Welcome to the big time.

Siphon coffee FTW!

Why is it when people are describing gluten-free options they say things like, "yeah, it's pretty good... you know, for gluten free pizza." Oh man, where can I get me some of that not-as-good-as-the-real-thing product?? Sounds fab! Fortunately for…More »

Really? Really, I'm writing a review about Ikea? Well, yes. Yes apparently I am.

But for good reason. Ikea is one of those places that everyone knows. We've all had that crappy Lak side table, the clunky Billy bookcase, the worn-out Poang chair -…More »

This little guy used to have live music, a decent understanding of coffee (though coffee snobs - http://youtu.be/SUpY1B... - needn't apply), and was run by some semi-hippie west coast surfer types. The smoothies were made from scratch (with real…More »
