Souvla is a Greek sandwich shop that opened a few months ago in SF. The restaurant interior is gorgeous with plenty of high top tables and seats to perch on. Meats can be seen spit-roasting in the back and the menu is extremely simple.
We ordered the lamb leg salad, pork shoulder sandwich, and juicy potatoes to share. The lamb leg was perfectly tender and the harissa-spiked yogurt dressing added so much flavor. No doubt if greek yogurt is involved, I'm going to love it. The pork shoulder sandwich, juicy and wrapped in warm pita bread, was nearly as delicious. The pickled red onion in both the salad and sandwich added a nice crunch and refreshing taste to the meats. The juicy potatoes were appropriately named, smothered in rotisserie drippings and sprinkled with fresh oregano. The frozen greek yogurt options seem amazing, especially the baklava crumbles & syrup, so I will definitely return to Souvla to try that and to give the chicken and roasted white sweet potato salads and sandwiches a shot!

Our second destination of the night was in honor of National IPA Day. I'm really not into IPAs because I find them so dark and bitter tasting. I like my light beers... but since it was a special day, we went across the street to Place Pigalle for a round of beers. Without any signage outside, I was confused if this place was even open. Upon entering though, we were pleasantly surprised to see a great selection of beer on tap and even a pool table in the back room. My friend got IPAs while I settled with a sour ale and a belgian saison.
Our third destination of the night was Loving Cup. I stumbled upon its menu a week prior and when I saw the extensive list of possible blend-ins, I had to try it. We shared a small cup of vanilla frozen yogurt base blended with coconut and gummy bears. Loved it!
