Cora's Coffee Shoppe (Santa Monica)

Favorite Food Entries + Food 16: Santa Monica

It was a historic diner dated from 20s, now turned Italian organic, gourmet cafe. From the name you'd think it's coffee-to-go, and the tiny grey little cubic building is easily missed on the road. My goodness the Caprese Omlette is so unbelievably delicous, light and fresh~ Omlette can be this good! The Kobe-style Burger is sooooo good! It's like a gourmet version of Pie n' Burger. The owner came out and told us about it being their popular item and reviewed on paper. Probably because he saw me taking picture of the place ^^;; I came here with Yan, who told me about the $5 supposedly fresh lemonade she had last time was not fresh at all...hmm...so beware ($5 is one expensive lemonade).

I think Kobe-style is that it's the same breed but raised elsewhere (using similar way to raise)...I guess ^^;;;

Seat: I kept all my pic in 4:3 ratio, easier to manage! I think as long as you keep the 'height' the same in the same row, it'd look neat.

what makes it "kobe"?

btw, you don't keep the 4:3 ratio when you trim the pictures, right? But you manage to align them neatly! How do you do it?

It'd be a terrible waste to use kobe beef for hamburger patty..^O^;;

hehe Freda stay till 2:00 am-ish to work for the new look~~

The keyword is "Kobe STYLE", so not really from Kobe, very misleading!
