It's time to break down and go to Café Fanny

I have my favorite cinnamon toast, and Mr. Food Musings has his:

"Whenever I take my VW to the mechanical maestros at McNevin in Berkeley, my car isn't the only thing that gets fixed up -- I get my fix too. Because right across the street from McNevin is Café Fanny. Tucked between Acme Bread and Kermit Lynch wines, Café Fanny serves the finest cinnamon raisin toast I've ever tasted. It's so good, in fact, that I kinda wish my car was a little less reliable. Thick, chewy, buttery, and served with the day's house-made preserves,  Fanny's cinnamon toast is one of my life's true pleasures. I always order it with a cup of coffee and a bowl of fruit  (berries, never melon) with Straus yogurt, and lately I've added a single, soft-boiled egg. I like to sit outside on the patio, where I can feel a bit of a breeze, while I munch my toast and read the paper, but there's also a bench inside. Of course, if you're not a maniacally single-minded cinnamon toast eater like me, Fanny's also serves exquisite pastries, including powdery
beignets, and offers a fairly complete menu that stretches from breakfast through lunch."

Café Fanny, Berkeley, 1603 San Pablo Avenue, 510-524-5447

I love, love, love Cafe Fanny. I usually go with oatmeal for breakfast and beignets or millet muffins for a snack.

Clare -- yeah, yeah, me too.

Nic -- I keep trying to get Mr. FM to take me too but somehow he hogs it all to himself...hmm...

Yum! I'm jealous! Also, you've inspired me b/c I am hoping to get my husband to do some "special reports" for my food blog, but I don't know how successful I will be in that endeavor! :)

Beth -- do try. It really takes the pressure off, which is especially important if you're a lazy girl like me!
