Yodigity - By-the-ounce frozen yogurt so you get just exactly as much of everything as you want. So much better than the by-the-topping places that give you a mountain of yogurt and charge 75 cents for a measly spoonful of Oreo crumbs. Yodiggity's peanutbutter actually tastes like peanutbutter, too! I usually mix it with chocolate and add all the chocolate toppings I can find plus a couple fresh strawberries. YUM! It usually comes out under $2 and they have punch card reward system. Ours is almost full :D
Mountain Mike's Pineapple Chicken Luau - Oh my goodness. Pineapple. Chicken. BBQ sauce. BACON. Their pepperoni is super super crispy and delicious, too. (I would be in pizza euphoria if I could have that pepperoni on a Me-n-Ed's crust. But alas...)
Figaro's Fish or Shrimp Tacos - The smell alone drew us in one night. And I'm not a big seafood person. But this was delicious. We've also had their burritos because they looked so tasty, but we'll have to try them again without the overpowering salsa. And ask for the tortillas to be grilled.
Cafe 210 - Love the atmosphere, the food, the drinks. They have a really good chicken sandwich with chipotle sauce. Can't remember what it's called. And then we think this icy treat is called the Monkey Mocha: chocolate, coffee and bananas in frapuccino form. Of course, being a huge chai fan, I judge most places by their chai lattes and this one has a vanilla version that is certainly up to par. Christian owned Cafe 210 also hosts a variety of events from a rehab group to pastors' meetings to live music.
Thursday Night Farmers' Market - Downtown and just a couple blocks long, but packed with all the usual goodies. Fresh fruit, baked goods, specialty foods, kettle corn, tacos, small fruit trees, crafts, you name it.
Most of these places are chains, but they're still pretty much local to the central valley. I'll keep looking for good local spots.
