Food scene

Oakland, CA born, Blue Bottle is now a national change but the coffee is still exceptional. Our go-to is enjoying a New Orleans Iced coffee on the sunny benches outside.

Excellent gluten and dairy free coffee shop that is a favorite with the locals. The espresso options are excellent and come with almond milk by default. We recommend the green onion & potato frittata in the mornings and the 10$ whole pizza on "Pizza Fridays".

Fentons Creamery and Restaurant is an Oakland landmark, serving the Bay Area community amazing ice cream for over 105 years. It's known as the original birthplace of the Rocky Road and made a recent appearance in PIxar's "Up". Our personal favorite is the Mocha Almond Fudge. If you're sitting down, try the Black & Tan Sundae. And if you're really brave, check out the Fenton's Challenge!
