What do Street Art and Espresso have in common? For starters, they both will keep you up all night. And after a good dose of both, you’re guaranteed to start thinking much more clearly. When I’m out taking a walk with a coffee in tow and I turn the corner and see a piece of street art that moves me, my day is complete. San Diego has some ahh-mazing pieces. Let me know when you’re ready for a tour.
A big, caffeinated thanks to Phil Defalco Photography for hitting the streets with me. What music moves me when I need to create some art? Beat Panther baby!







Caffiene and sugar, my day is complete, thanks Vintage Sugarcube!
Oh Vintage Sugarcube, is there anything you can’t do? Love the espresso brownies! A perfect late-night snack for extra-late nights.

Thanks sooo much everyone.
Wow – sexy art lady!!!
The brownie sounds yummeeee…. Very creative too!
Oh my gosh, I love this!! I don’t even know where to start! The shoes, the Vintage Sugarcube graffiti, the spray paint—and of course the brownies! They look like the perfect late-night snack for all artistic endeavors.
Loving the stickers, too!
Koci, I just totally heart you! What in the world would I do without you. Thank you for being such a fan of my work. I can’t thank you enough… XOXO
MMMMM! Chocolate and expresso, sweet, rich, dark and just a wonderful combination. How do you know everything I love, week after week? I think Paula and Ina and some of the other Food Network Stars should start worrying about you…
Gary! You are waaay tooo kind, and I sooo appreciate you.
Love the art and love the brownies! You’ve outdone yourself, Ms. VS!
Susan- Thank you sooo very much! I had a super fun time doing a little after work tagging!! HaHa..
Hi, Jenny. Now I know what keeps you going….I love the Banksy-esque convergence of Sin Diego, brownies, street art, and the graphic of you. Have any of those editors finally gotten their acts together to give you a regular feature yet?!?
Dan
OMG! AMAZING! Where is the vintagesugarcube piece? I LOVE IT!!! You’ve out done yourself yet, again! ROCK ON SISTER GIRL! ROCK ON!
Now if you could figure out how to deliver it to me at 30,000 feet? Halfway over the Atlantic? Love it!
OMG!!!!! You KNOW this is my FAVVVVVVV yet gf! Ah. You are brilliant!!!!
The photos are fantastic and the Banksy Brownies sound SINFUL. Barely any street art here in Guam, so this really made my day! Thank you VSC!
If you don’t mind me asking, it appears there is a sticker on your brownie container. Where did you have those made?
Thanks!

Hi Candida, I’m sooo thrilled you found my site. Many, many thanks for stopping by. And thank goodness for Foodgawker for bringing us all together eh?
