Blue Bottle Coffee

Posted on October 29, 2010September 28, 2021 by Hijiri

Another great win for the Giants last night, I’m sure the whole city is going crazy! I so wish I were there to witness everything and feel the energy… but before I do anything, I would stop by the Blue Bottle Coffee first. That’s exactly what we did when we landed in San Francisco this July — straight to the Blue Bottle!

The Hayes Valley kiosk to be exact:

I always love their logo and the store signs, too.

Lots of different kinds of beans… I like their packaging, too. Each name is hand stamped and the logo might be hand stamped as well.

There is a Blue Bottle CafÃ© in Ferry Building now (well, I don’t know when they came here, but not when I lived there) so of course, we stopped by there as well…

and look what I found! An embroidery cafÃ© sign :) I thought it was so cute I had to take photos!

“Blue Bottle Customers Only, Please!” sign on the cafÃ© table, also embroidered. So sweet, right? I love it :)

And I still love my cup of Blue Bottle every morning here in NY. Life is good. Happy Friday!

So I was in Meredith, New Hampshire over the weekend for my friend Liz’s girls celebration before she gets married in D.C…. (it’s this Saturday!) It was such a fun trip, I saw lots of beautiful fall scenery everywhere we went, here are some pictures from the trip… enjoy!

Found type — Cruise ticket office sign.

I always love coin-operated binocular viewers. This one was by the lake…

We took a train that goes around the lake for like an hour.

A red tree. Isn’t it romantic?

On Sunday… it snowed…! Looking out the window from our lake house we rented… (you might not see well here, but it was snowing so much!)

Hello! I just got back last night from my mini vacation to New England, starting a little slow this morning with lots to catch up…

We were just in Montpelier, Vermont for our friends’ beautiful wedding and got to walk around a little bit yesterday before we headed home. It was such a cute little town, found lots of cool old signs, managed to snap these before it started raining…

Bear Pond Books: Lovely sign!

Found Type: Disneyland

Happy Friday, everyone! and it’s the 4th of July weekend!

For the happy holiday weekend, I’ll bring something from happy place… the Disneyland. yay. I love it there and it’s been more than 6-7 years since the last visit so I really wanted to spend a day there while we were in LA… :) This time, though, I looked at more designs and types and I was actually really amazed how well everything is designed and put together. It must have been so fun to work on the designs at Disneyland…

The entrance: this image here is a bit small to read, but it says “Population 500,000,000” — is that how many people Disneyland can hold? Also says “Elevation 138 feet”
