Saturday mornings it's the place to be... Swing by for a coffee and a bite before the wedding!
You're sure to catch a flavor of Oakland hanging/walking the Lake
If you're trying to wine down...this is the spot. Hammerling, Broc Cellars, Tessier all favorites. Gillman Brewing also great.
Great district for food, drink and trinkets. Rec: North Light, Tallboy, Cholita Linda, Hawking Bird, Alem's
If you got kids, Frog Park can't be beat!
Burly hike but the views are worth it!
Milder hike but amazing 360 view of the Bay
Watch out for the local turkey. Instigator
Proper sourdough, pizza and pastries
Pasta spot that's high on freshness, low on pretentiousness (the chef's doing our food for Sat)
Killer coffee if you're staying downtown
Lotta history (est. 1922). And free popcorn!
When things aren't right in the world...a burrito goes a long way
Great croissants and coffee
Who doesn't love to eat with their hands?! Amazing food even if you don't :)
Peter and Christine are just as adorable as their cafe (originally the first church in Berkeley)
Another one of our favorite places for date night dinner. Recommend getting a reservation on the patio, the fish tacos, and blue-corn quesadilla
If you're coming from far away, don't leave the Bay without a taco
Nice Thai spot right on the water
Another Bay Area institution for bread, pizza and pastries. Usually live music going on in the afternoons/evenings. Great place to catch a vibe
