Capuchino High School
As a graduate from Capuchino I must say I loved my experience there. Many of the teachers are really great and although the school has a bad rap sometimes, the students at Capuchino are amazing. I have been coaching there since I graduated and the kids are what make the school so welcoming and open...
PROS: Good spirit, good kids and teachers, wonderful atmosphere to be in
CONS: Students are either overachievers or slackers...
Elephant Bar Restaurant
Don't even bother trying to wait for a table on a Friday or Saturday night. It'll take you at least an hour if you don't have reservations. But the food is good and restaurant is cute, right by the bay.
PROS: Location, food, drinks, service is nice
CONS: Long waits on busy nights, can be slow serving big parties
Jamba Juice
If you really wanna be healthy I suggest parking far away and walking there. You can find a spot close enough, but sometimes you need to circle the block a few times. This Jamba is one of the fastest and cleanest.
PROS: Great smoothies. Good location in downtown Millbrae, some shops nearby.
CONS: Parking can be hectic.
Jamba Juice
I love getting Jamba Juice for lunch or a snack in between things. Their smoothies are good and healthy, or at least I feel healthy when I go in there. =) Prices are reasonable and service is fast and friendly.
PROS: The San Bruno Jamba is fast even when busy
CONS: Some of the boosts taste like grass...
San Francisco Zoo
Who doesn't love going to the zoo? I love checking out all the animals and spending a relaxing day walking around the zoo. Monkeys, bears, giraffes, lions, they have it all!
PROS: Remodeled recently with new habitats
CONS: A little pricey if you don't go on a cheap day...
Lafayette Iron Works Co Inc
If you ever have a free afternoon follow the signs to Stow Lake. They rent paddle boats and row boats and you can rent bicycles there, too. Bicycles built for two, these low-rider tricycle type bikes... Lots of fun! Beautiful park!!!
PROS: Cute lake, great place to take a date! Romantic setting.
CONS:
Celia's
The bar at Celia's is great. I love their margarita's! The Mariachi's play at this Celia's on Thursday nights and music can make any evening out more enjoyable. The food is also good, but a little bit better at the Celia's by Serramonte...
PROS: Drinks, food and live music
CONS: Muy poco parking
Bakers Square Restaurant & Pie
Not my favorite restaurant in San Bruno. Food is just OK and service is mediocre. The pies are really good, but that's about it. I recommend ordering a pie to go.
PROS: Pies are delicious, can pre-order and pick them up (i.e. holidays!)
CONS: The food and service need improvement
Malibu Grand Prix
This is a popular hang out for kids and teenagers and families. Big arcades, mini golf, batting cage, malibu car racing (expensive, but fun) and good pizza. Seriously, they have AWESOME pizza! Try it next time you go!
PROS: Cute mini golf course, fun games
CONS: Racing is expensive, sometimes crowded
Paramount's Great America
This theme park has more rides than any other theme park in California. And some of the BEST. Every trip to GA is a fun one, I have never been disappointed. They have it all!
PROS: WOW card gets you in all season for free, awesome attractions
CONS: Expensive, but worth the wow card or VIP if you go a few times
