It is adoring to experience the wonderful interior and food that cafes has to offer. When I step into these familiar spaces, more importantly, I recall heart-to-heart conversations with other dear friends that make the time substantial and memorable.

The San Francisco Ferry Building is marked as an iconic location for visitors near and far. Many come for the view, the delectable food, and to observe this historical building as a whole. It also houses many products known by many for its subtle beauty yet captivating details. Yes, I was not ashamed to line up by myself to get two scoops from Humphrey Slocombe at their opening hour. It is simply a joy to walk around, window shop, and share dessert and coffee for two.

It's been a delight having this blog since it pushes me to look back at my photos and consider how I've been spending 2015. It's almost like pulling out a photo album from the back of a closet shelf, blowing off the dust, and, filled with nostalgia, turning each page. I guess living in the digital age, this depiction might be hard to relate huh? In any case, this local trip with friends is definitely gave me those feels!
A friend at the time purchased a mirrorless camera (Olympus OM-D E-M10), and we were all excited for her to take it out for a spin. We first had pizza at Cheese Board (an iconic pizza go to if visiting Berkeley for the first time), and enjoyed dessert at Mission Heirloom. This restaurant and cafe highlighted itself as delivering healthy foods sustainably and storing everything in glass. I especially loved how it served its desserts and coffee with Heath Ceramics, one of my favorite potteries. It was a whole lot of fun having these little trips with fellow friends, with wholesome conversations and warm memories.
