Maru Regalzi: Great gelato: dulce de leche, fromageeith cookie dough, creme fraiche with strawberry and lime graham cracker are my favorites!!! Also they've got sorbet for a healthy and dairy free option
Hubert Palan: This is as close to Italian ice cream as it gets in the East bay. Really great simple flavors like you used to get for thousand Lire in Italy. Non-Americans, this is the place to go for your scoop.
Andrew Cassin: If you split a scoop between the Orange Cardamom and Whiskey Walnut, it's like an Old Fashioned in a cone.
Rob Phillips: Beers are delicious and plenty, and the food was on point. Try the meatballs, you won't be disappointed.
Serious Eats: Hog's Apothecary in Oakland breaks from the norm by featuring a lineup of 33 rotating taps pouring beer sourced directly from small local breweries.
Erin: We ordered oysters, kale salad and garlic sausage with homemade corn nuts and rose. Everything was delicious!

Liz Pallatto: Perfect little breakfast bites. The homemade jams, giant latte bowls and Eggs Benedict are all good but I think everything is good - it’s hard to choose
Genevieve CW: Ignore the negative tip, new owners are the friendliest people you'll ever meet! New lunch specials everyday - soup is always amazing. And they make the BEST chocolate chip cookies ever!!!
Phil Kates: Their poached eggs are fantastic. Great coffee and espresso too.

Laura L: Indoor bocce ball, great food in jars, spicy popcorn and wild drinks . Chicken sandwich or the three cheese is amazing. Champagne mojito - best! Love the self serve cucumber water too!
Craig Bernstein: Kitchen closed before 7:30 on a show night at the Fox? Go fuck yourselves.
