Here is the lineup of ice cream flavors now available at Bitter+Sweet - new flavors include Eaton Mess (strawberry & meringue) and After School Special (vanilla ice cream, chocolate-covered potato chips & caramel swirl). I really, really enjoy the Eaton Mess……taste some and you will understand why I love it so much!
We are really excited to serve our new panini, starting today……prosciutto paired with mozzarella cheese, served on bread that has a light spread of fig jam. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it? In addition. we are bringing back the Spicy Salami panini, using Boccalone Nduja spicy salami spread. See you all at lunch!
Well, we figured it’s time to feature our next barista on this page. So, we had Daniel draw a name out of the hat, and tada! Allen got picked. The interview with him was pretty interesting, to say the least. Read on…..
So, Allen, Coffee or Espresso?
Yes (followed a LONG pause and a puzzled look from Janice). I like both as I don’t discriminate.
At Bitter+Sweet, each of the barista has a signature latte art design. What is yours?
Daniel.
Hmm, you’re a pretty sharp dresser….when you feel like it. How much do you spend on clothing each month?
If you know how much I am making per paycheck, well, that’s how much I would spend.
So, what is the most expensive clothing item that you have purchased?
These (pointing to the pair of jeans he had on). They are Flat Head jeans from Japan and had cost me $379. Come on, they are really comfortable and have lasted me a long time (2 years)!
What are you gonna be doing on your 21st birthday?
(Laughs) Stop drinking.
You’re leaving us this summer. Where are you headed?
Somewhere down south (as in SoCal)…….away from Janice.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I want to be just like Janice.
What do you do in your free time?
Sleep and eat.
You seem to play a lot of oldies music when you’re on shift. What’s your favourite music genre?
Folk rock.

Anything else you want to say?

** These questions were posed by a customer who was listening in on the interview with much interest.
Yes, the Bacon, Brie and Chocolate (BBC) panini is finally making its appearance at Bitter+Sweet! Now, now, who says you can’t have chocolate for lunch? Or even dinner? Sure you can! Combined with creamy brie and some savoury bacon, it’s a pretty darn good sandwich, if I may say so.
We will also continue serving the following paninis:
Salami (dry salami, red peppers, mushroom & mozzarella)
PG&J (prosciutto, goat cheese & apricot jam)
Portabella & Mozzarella
Another exciting flavour just joined the existing cast of Humphry Slocombe flavours - Apple Bacon Brittle. Sounds good? IT IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you can all enjoy some really good ginger ale at Bitter+Sweet! When I sampled Bruce Cost’s Fresh Ginger Ale at the SF Fancy Food Show, I immediately fell in love with it.
