Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Montclair, Oakland

Molly M. • December 13, 2018Beautiful & delicious (I cracked into mine before taking photo)! Definitely worth the extra $. It’s awesome!

Amanda R. • November 17, 2013Ham and cheese potato pancakes (latkes) are AMAZING. And their homemade apricot jam. My LORD.

Brian S. • January 21, 2021Love this coffee! Best in the neighborhood for my palette. Not too light but not charred either. Delicious pastries to boot.

Nabeel H. • September 17, 2014It pays to talk to the owner about your tea tastes. Amazing depth of knowledge.

Patrick R. • May 30, 2012Best donuts around & service! Enjoy the conversations with the older guys on history of the area, world travel, & anything/everything else you can think of. =)

The Taste Sheriff • March 18, 2018A unique find for the area! The food is really superb albeit a bit expensive. Try the foie gras filet, the fried oyster deviled eggs, and the steak tartare. For dessert, try the pistachio lemon tart.

Brian S. • September 27, 2015A top three bagel shop in Oakland. Any of the classic bagels with cream cheese and lox is outstanding. Keep it simple.

Jenny H. • March 30, 2015Happy hour 4-6 on weekdays. Fried zucchini sticks are enormous & delicious. Very kid-friendly, too.

Paul R. • August 22, 2011Great selections of salsas. We've been coming here for years

Rich H. • June 11, 2018Great garlic noodles and happy hour wings and drinks. The noodles and wings were a touch on the salty side, just like I like it 😀

Lia F. • November 6, 2013Try the pomegranate flavor. It's non-dairy and is amazing! It's like sorbet. YUM!!

Niki G. • April 6, 2016Honestly I've mostly stopped going here since the ownership changed. You can order flavored steamed milk though, which is good. (You can get any flavor syrup they have available). & iced teas are good

Emily J. • January 10, 2015Man, what a hidden gem. Delicious sandwiches. Pickup only. The guy who takes orders that everyone's talking about? He's great. But yes, study the menu a little bit and he'll guide you through it.

Brian S. • January 23, 2017Best takeout roast chicken in Oakland.

Andy L. • September 18, 2009Pitcher of margs and a super burrito famoso. All made with love.

Constance P. • April 12, 2013Very fresh sushi with an excellent presentation..a Montclair treasure!

Mark J. • May 10, 2014Fish katsu burger!

Talley M. • May 6, 2018Special Sushi Rolls! Always good portions of fresh fish with small amount of rice. We’ve been visiting Oni for years, and with having ate here likely 50 times, we’ve never had a bad experience. Yum!

Mortiche W. • May 16, 2016Love their pastitsio (hollow pasta noodles with spiced meat sauce and bechamel), moussaka, green beans (aka fasolakia yanni) and rice here. About to try the Greek chicken, looks moist and lemony!

Joshua M. • January 21, 2010Spicy string bean with tofu is a must.

Brian S. • September 25, 2019Right out of the oven this stuff is pretty damn good. If you order a “slice” you’re really ordering basically a small pizza. Slices are made to order and are huge! Big enough for two kids to share one

Nader A. • September 10, 2011Probably the best place in Montclair to work. Pete's is too crowded
