Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Oaksterdam, Oakland

Mona A. • August 1, 2016The out door sitting area is cheerful and it's a cool place to hang out with family and friends. The pizzas are original and their Veggie pizza is a delight. The decor is welcoming. I do recommend

Claire S. • October 6, 2016Awesome focaccia bread with toppings (the kale and pesto was so delicious!)

John W. • April 17, 2019For $4, grab a bag of day-old bagels x 6 in several flavors! Sure, they’re not as fresh, but all the flavor and calories are there. Great deal (if you can stoop to Montreal-style for your bagel fix).

Brian S. • November 4, 2021The pandemic pushed these guys outside and maybe for the better. Loved the taco kit, and the Tres Rojas margaritas with Mezcal in particular.
