Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Lakeshore, Oakland

Sahar A. • November 11, 2016Love this local co-op. Cyclist discount w/ helmet. Tasty veg pizza changes daily. Try the Ginger Stout loaf. Mint choclate vegan cookies are actually tasty. Corn cherry scone too dry for my taste.

Bommy • November 6, 2017Lovely space and ambiance with friendly service. Do a flight on saturdays or sip on something by the glass. You can bring in your own food.

Christina • May 5, 2019New taco spot where the Subway used to be. The handmade corn tortillas are incredible; made fresh every day. Pescado, al pastor, and carnitas are all so good (al pastor is roasted on a real trompo!).

Barbara F. • July 30, 2017Everything on the brunch menu is amazing, but the porridge is absolutely magical.

Adrian P. • December 7, 2016With a crew from the east coast, these sandwiches are no joke. The Cuban was delicious, but the ham with the pesto aioli & grilled zucchini turned out to be the surprising favorite. Lovely folks.

Jeanine S. • January 25, 2014Solid dive. You can't bring in wings from wing stop because dogs are allowed on the back patio (worth it IMO).

Simon B. • December 14, 2019Great coffee, lots of seating room (goes all the way around). The back has this great hidden, cove quality to it. Love Sister

Ellen M. • December 21, 2015Awesome late night snacks joint. Fresh donuts all night, great prices.

Claude H. • February 29, 2020The lunch menu with rice or noodle bowls is a steal! A protein plus 2 sides over the starch if your choice.

Adrian P. • December 7, 2016Skip the cocktail list & order off the menu. If you get the bartender that I got, he'll be able to get an amazing drink out of your suggestions. Great spot to pop into after a movie at the Grand Lake

bastylefilegirl • July 7, 2012By far the best coffee in Oakland, and can you believe it's all from 2 wheels. Roasted In Oakland too. Try a Drip Cone, it's worth the wait scouts honor!

Kevin W. • September 3, 2014The Cashew Nut Chicken, Praram with chicken and the Tom Kha soup are my favs.

Brian S. • March 28, 2016The spirit and beer selection seems far more inspired than the wines. Try the spirit brand Few which makes a great whiskey and a killer aged gin.

LL J. • January 25, 2017This place is the real deal. Reminds me of philly. Love the mushroom cheesesteak, and pepper too.

Bridget Y. • July 25, 2010I always ordered online and they would call to clarify the order if it wasn't clear to them. What else can one ask for?

jeffrey c. • September 17, 2015Try the honeydew gelato! So refreshing. (Not always available, sadly!) And the pumpkin paired with the super chocolate, although seasonal, is not to be missed!

Charlene N. • March 6, 2020Whether you go with the fried chicken or the rotisserie chicken, you can't go wrong. Always get the fries. And the biscuit.

Brian S. • January 24, 2017Not greasy at all. Lots of veggies. Needs to amp up the flavor a bit though. All seems homemade.
