Take this word of advice from me - if any restaurant has a sign saying "Under new management", DO NOT GO THERE!
We went to San Fran yesterday, to check out the Mind exhibit at the Exploratorium. It was not too bad, but I would recommend it to you, only if you plan to go with kids. K and I mustered up all the enthusiasm we could and had a pretty good time.
And then disaster struck - in the form of lunch. Guided by Yelp's reviews (or should I say misguided), we went to a place for lunch. Despite the veggie dishes in the buffet and menu, this place is most definitely not suitable for vegetarians, especially if you are the squeamish type prone to frequent "komatals"!!! With the channa nesting a little too close next to meat dishes......ewwww....i cannot type anymore...
My frustration increased when we realized that we could have gone to Ssan francisco's north beach neighbourhood for some authentic mozzarella paninis and cannolis. I've been to many Chinatowns in the US (again, not generally recommended for sequeamish vegetarians prone to frequent komatals) but never really to Little Italys. Anyway, K and I jumped off the bus when we saw five consecutive restaurants all having Italian names and hunted for some good coffee.
We lucked out by choosing Cafe Greco. We had what could easily be called the best cappuchino this side of the atlantic. Rich, dark, foamy....the creaminess lasted through even the last mouthful. I kinda killed it a little by adding too much sugar, but sitting on the sidewalk and gaping at the lean san francisco women (all dressed exactly alike), the coffee finally got the bad taste of lunch out of my mind.

You should have scared the women away with deep rich coffee breath ?

Now you getting komatals ?? Imagine. Imagine. The stale smell of coffee in the mouth :)

Hey, the coffee was truly very different, no coffee breath! Or whatever....i am still recovering from the lunch horrors. I think a part of my appetite died forever
