Diamond Cafe — Restaurant in San Francisco

I don't like diamonds...they aren't really the problem, it's the diamond industry. They straight up lie. Nothing lasts forever, why would diamonds be the exception?

But the success tells me that people choose Diamond Cafe over others because it's so damned satisfying. Families, neighbors, and shoppers on 24th St favor this place. When I judge a restaurant, full tables tell me that's the place I...
