Banh mi at Crisp Bakery was excellent!

Hot Box isn't open for lunch any longer.

Phnom Penh at Santa Rosa Avenue and Petaluma Hill Road had a more traditional sandwich on Tuesday (possibly other weekdays, but not today). On Saturdays, they've had a good selection of prepared foods near the register – fresh noodles, rolls and other tasty treats at very reasonable prices.

Nhabee is closed. A new Ethiopean restaurant expects to open in the space at the beginning of February. Phone number and address are the same.

I got it at 10:30 AM and had to wait a couple hours to eat it, so chose the chicken curry on a roll. It was huge. I had half for lunch & half for dinner. Full of chicken, fruit and a mellow curry sauce (mayo?). Reminded me of curry chicken salads of the 1950's and 1960's. Very yummy - just a little Romaine in addition to the overflowing filling.

Went today. Tried a sandwich - delicious. Admired the pastries - beautiful - both breakfast & dessert pastries, most under $3. Talked with Marc. They chose the out-of-the-way location because it has a great kitchen that will enable them to do both catering and mail order goodies.

I really want the cafe to make it too.

Sonoma County people please get yourselves there.

Are theirs on the same date?

EN-

Have you tried the Chippery at1021 Hahman Drive in Santa Rosa? It's just south and east of Montgomery Village...kinda catty corner from Montgomery High. My burger-eating buddy said she's had some good burgers there. Haven't tried it myself. Report back if you do.

Sorry - Santa Rosa. I'll reform now. :)

Soup season? Santa Rosa store has lots of soup choices including Pacific boxed stocks - chicken, veggie - $.99 each. Several choices of Wolfgang Puck's canned soup at same price. Crackers, chips and cheeses in great supply too.

Santa Rosa - sorry! It's on Wednesday & Saturday mornings at the Veteran's Memorial Building just off Highway 12 & 101 in Santa Rosa.

I've no idea whether Full Circle makes it to San Rafael Farmers' Market on Sundays.

The Penngrove store no longer has a deli, though they seem to sell loaves of bread there. Call before making the trip. They're still at SR Farmers' Market on Saturday mornings.

Full Circle Baking Co.

Melanie- Try the Sebastopol berry farm folks. They're at Santa Rosa Vets Memorial farmers' market on Saturday & Wednesday. They have organic raspberries and blueberries and handpainted gifts. They often have nopales, but I'm uncertain whether they're in season?

They may be on farm trails, so check there too.

Oh yes, Luther Burbank Garden in downtown SR probably culls their cactus occasionally, but they use -cides in their garden.

Happy cooking!

I too am waiting for good middle eastern food. Here's a recent review of what's available. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/431915

Can you be more specific? There are many choices here, considering the area's size...Here's a post to get you started. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/433602

Hi- Just curious...now that you've spent a week in Santa Rosa, worked hard and recuperated...I wonder what and how well you ate. Any reviews to share? Thanks.

I'm not sure how each store orders from the big list of what's available...SR seems to try for organics and specialty items. Berkeley store had a more desperate mood with a security guard, narrow aisles, ugly produce (might have been the day) and poor merchandising. SR has natural light and seems to be remerchandised daily.

Tell them what you want, they seem to respond well to suggestions.

Della Fattoria bread & pastries. There's sitdown food too, don't know how it rates.

Crane Melon Barn should be open for about another month...
