MUNCHIES [CA] . Caffé Macs
I'm sure Caffé Macs (Apple's eatery) was attempting to be set itself apart from all the other Silicon Valley Corporate Cafés by adding an extra "f", or maybe they did that because that's what the food deserves. Okay, that ... continued»
MUNCHIES [CA] . eBay Park Café

There's something wild happening in Cupertino, the education-centric mecca for droll family life and ethnic fairs held in the duck-ruled pond/park because they don't even have a Downtown to party in. Well, they're all partying over at GocHi now.
