I would add Pho Tam just down the street. I really like it. The ONLY real problem, is the food is inconsistent. At least, the pho is, and that is the main reason I go there. Pho, Empanadas, and BosEX’s lunch-time gyros make this a wonderful area to work. Lunch time is great.

We buy a lot of our spices at the Indian Market. They’re so cheap and fresh, it doesn’t make sense to go anywhere else. Likewise, if you need 50 pounds of Indian Basmati rice, that’s your spot. Campos has great meat (especially if you’d like to wow your friends with quick, fresh-grilled tacos) and lots of other good Mexican stuff. including the best fruit popsicles around, fresh tortillas, tamales and baked goods. And oh my, the Baguette Deli. How can you beat a light, fresh BBQ pork sandwich for only $3.25? You can’t. Oh, and they have Bubble Tea. Mmmmm.Just down from Orient Market, don’t forget Wok-Inn Noodle. Sure the decor is dreary (I’m not sure how they manage to make a forest of houseplants dreary, but they do), but they make their own noodles, and the owner is very friendly.

Thanks for letting us know about the YC bakery. I keep passing it and wondering what is inside. Sounds like some yummy stuff.
