Connie Chiu: I love blue bottle and this location is by far my favorite. Spacious with lots of seating and tables. The furniture is envious!
Shahram Sean Yousefi: Spacious and inviting but expensive and no wifi? Really? Even 30 min?
Esther Jung: This is a new blue bottle coffee shop located a block from downtown Marriott. They are open from 7 am to 7 pm. Strawberry buckle was so yummm! Also, great staff.

Soba Restaurant · McClymonds · 18 tips and reviews
Brook Shelley: One of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Outstanding food, great service, and a warm, stylish environment. Be sure to try the specials and the mountain potato fries.
Ryan Leggett: Phenomenally fresh soba in a little slice of Japan hidden in West Oakland. Try the Den sake, which is made nearby.
Jason Black: A hidden gem in West Oakland
Ceanna Stephens: This place is amazing, our favorite dishes are the Thai tacos and the Neua Num beef rolls- the sauce is insane. Lots of spicy dishes but the noodles are great and kids options too.
Rahul Chhatwal: Best fish cakes ever. A very good pad kee maw as well.
Emily L: Maybe the best Thai food I’ve ever had. Decor is super cute though it was very busy even on a Sunday at 2pm. We got 3 big dishes to share b/w 4 ppl and it was enough (full but not stuffed).
