1. Carrot Muffins at Mission Pie

Yes, they have vegan pie and yes, it is very good, but it ain't got nothing on these muffins. They're tiny but pack a nutritious punch of carrots, raisins and oil. What? Five Alive, people! They almost taste like dessert so it's easy to eat them all day long but be warned, they sell out pretty early so don't sleep in. Or do and eat cake instead. Delicious cake. Finally, someone please help us get this out of our heads! Or don't, best song ever written.

2. Strawberry filled Mochi at Eiji Sushi.

When we die, we want to be mummified in a gigantic strawberry mochi from Eiji (we're size 18W in mochi for when the funeral home asks. Also, tell Nate to dump Brenda's crazy ass, already!). The folks at Eiji know their mochi is in demand and so they make you eat a full meal before ordering one. Seriously, no entirely mochi meals or mochi to go. It's okay, the sushi and homemade tofu are damn good so that shouldn't be a problem. Oh, and put in your order for it at the beginning of the meal as they've been known to run out before the end of the night. Once, we saw a dude hulk out on them because they were out. This guy transformed from Rick Moranis into Carrot Top, right before our eyes, turning over tables and shit. We understand, the mochi is that good.
