My pal Nattles and I have a beef. We both like both places, but she prefers Boogaloo’s, and I prefer St. Francis, and sometimes it’s a problem. We decided to enumerate what we like about each place. First, Nattles and Boogaloo’s:

• The people watching: Omer at the steps of that government building across the street (when he was around), the sidewalk sales on those steps… The bike lane & increased traffic in general on Valencia means you’re liable to run into more friends (and enemies) and see more strange sights.
• The Boogaloos Classic: vegetarian biscuits and gravy. BOOM.
• Desayuno Tipico: plantain cake!
• I like flipping my coffee cup to indicate that Yes, I would love coffee like at an old school diner.
• Corner shop – All the light!
• Friendly people!
• Coffee to-go at the front is serve yourself.
• Nice to go alone to.
• Straight up I’ve never found a dish at St. Francis that I *really* like, and I have two at Boogaloos that I haven’t strayed from in over 5 years.

Fair enough. Now me and St. Francis:

• St. Francis has FRIES
• It’s on 24th Street
• There’s always a spot at the counter (unbeatable for solo dining)
• It’s not on Valencia
• The mimosas are better
• The people watching is also great (24th Street!)
• It’s not so bright! When you’re hungover, sometimes you don’t want it so bright!
• I almost always order a grilled cheese sandwich with avocado and tomato and an egg over easy on the side, which I then plop on the sandwich. I’ve gotten this at both places and St. Francis just does it better. And it’s way better with fries, doy.
• You get to watch sundaes and floats being made
• Three’s Company trading cards for sale
• On the rare occasion you have to wait for a table, the little bench out front is pretty clutch
• Overflow dining room on the weekends, super-clutch
• I just love the staff so much
• You get to listen to the Clash or Talking Heads almost every single time

I love both places though. (FRIES!) Anyone else have any thoughts?

(Thanks, Nattles!)
