Christine’s, a micro bakery in the Mission District, makes a hell of a chocolate chip cookie. It’s pudgy, crisp around the edges and chewy in the center. The dough courses with 66% chocolate from Guittard, and the top of each cookie is festooned with a coin. Split it in half to reveal a cross-section of slightly melted chocolate. The vegan version swaps out butter for coconut and sunflower oil, and it’s also worth a shot.<\/p>\n

The sidecar (also known as a one-and-one) from Kop\u00ea House in San Francisco features an espresso and a cortado. (Cesar Hernandez\/S.F. Chronicle)<\/p>\n

A popup no more, Kop\u00ea House landed a cafe in Hayes Valley. Little bigger than a closet, Kop\u00ea sees lines out the door, but on a weekday afternoon I managed to avoid the crowd. The house latte, which includes a gochujang-spiked caramel, still satisfies, with a mellow kick of fruity spice. Order the sidecar – the caf\u00e9’s name for a one-and-one – comprising a shot of espresso and a cortado, both made from the shop’s house blend of predominantly Ethiopian and Honduras coffees, which tastes of dark chocolate and burnt sugar. Kop\u00ea is one of a handful of popups that have landed permanent cafes in San Francisco recently, including Hi NRG<\/a> and Paper Son, which recently opened Soon and Soon in partnership with Mister Jiu’s.<\/p>\n

The scallops were a standout dish at Str\u0101ta in San Jose. (Cesar Hernandez\/S.F. Chronicle)<\/p>\n

As I arrived at Str\u0101ta, a new downtown hotel restaurant by the Eos & Nyx folks, on a Saturday night, I was greeted by a parade of classic cars and a cacophonous clash of blaring oldies, reggaeton and narco-corrido ballads. Str\u0101ta aims to be a night-on-the-town establishment with leather-bound seats, light-up shelves and a menu that features all the standard (and increasingly dated) fascinations: burgers, wagyu and caviar bumps. I sat at the bar and opted for the springy seared scallops, served over creamy grits with ready-to-burst cherry tomatoes.<\/p>\n
