Chai heaven! We are obsessed.
Absolutely the best bagels outside of NYC. And this is coming from Halley, who is (too) snobbish about her bagels.
Hands-down best ramen in the US (and maybe even Japan, according to Adeeb). We used to go to the Tenderloin location when we first started going out, and have really enjoyed the much more peaceful Piedmont location since it opened a couple of years ago.
Undoubtedly, absolutely, 100% the best ice cream that exists on the planet. And it's lactose-free!
We have been going here since we moved to Oakland during the deeeeep pandemic. Amazing coffee.
We have been loving this upscale contemporary Afghan restaurant in Uptown Oakland. Prepare for your expectations to be subverted and exceeded!
Silog it! A bay area staple.
There’s a lot of great Thai food around here, but this is our favorite.
Did you ever imagine that heaven could exist in a grocery store? Come see for yourself...
Our favorite hiking spot.
A great place to walk, run, and enjoy some gorgeous views of the Bay. Take the pedestrian bridge across the freeway to the Aquatic Park, it's delightful!
For only a few dollars, you can get a pretty amazing boat tour of the Bay by taking the SF/Oakland/Alameda ferry.
We love this farmer's market-- great produce, goods, and bites! Saturdays from 9 am to 2 pm.
