Guidebook for Oakland
Food Scene
You can ask for butter and jam if you eat your pastry at the large table. Coffee is delicious and unpretentious and pastries are delectable. Also best sourdough baguettes or olive or walnut bread around.

The neighborhood scene. Grab a paper, a cup of Sumatra or the house blend and some poached eggs. There's your Saturday. Secret is to go to the smaller coffee shop/beanery on 63rd Street instead of the larger one on College (there are two separate parts to this iconic shop!)

Ramen! Gets crazy busy and you cannot make a reservation but great people watching/date spot if you're up for a wait or great family spot if you go early.
