Every café menu seems to assume you already know the difference between a cortado and a flat white. Most of us nod along, panic slightly, and then order a latte anyway.

In San Diego, "where's a good burrito?" is a question that starts arguments. We're not here to settle it. We are here to point out that Palmy's has three burritos on the board, and between them they cover pretty much every hour the kitchen is open.
First Time at Palmy’s?
You've probably walked past it. The craftsman bungalow on Felspar with the pennant over the patio, a dog asleep under one table, a laptop open at another, and someone in a still-damp rash vest ordering a flat white like it's the most natural thing in the world.
