Bommy • September 30, 2018Try every taco. Fish taco and carne asada tacos are the best. Don't forget to get the really fresh-tasting guacamole! Recommend sitting in the rear outdoor patio.

Angelica D. • May 22, 2018One of my fave outdoor beer gardens in Oakland.

Greg A. • March 30, 2019A local institution, pizza is a must try and grab a great pastry while you’re there!

Malik J. • May 29, 2011Been coming here for nearly a decade. The new spot's menu has added some rare delicacies. Today tried #2 noodle dish. Mushroom n pork rolled in rice noodle with a TON of extras. An Adventure for $5.25

Micol P. • October 11, 2011Ham&cheese puff pastry the BOMB! That's what we call in Italy valdostana

Maggie S. • January 29, 2017This is such a cool spot! They have food and drinks, as well as TVs to watch the game. I had a really tasty hot cider. The beer choices are very nice!

Nicholas Y. • April 7, 2013One of top highlights of the East Bay, if not the entire Bay Area. Excellent deep dish, but the thin crust comes up a bit short. Order ahead and take home.

Matt L. • June 10, 2015Fantastic new spot in Oakland! Amazing outdoor patio, brilliant cocktails on tap, affordable!

Christopher M. • April 2, 2017Biergarten. Ambiance. Fire. 🍺 And 🍕 selections are delicious and extensive. Booths are great; covered in an amazing greenery. You must try the fried garlic knots before leaving!

Cécile • March 14, 2020Great vibe and cocktails. Love Grand Lake so much!

Kevin P. • August 26, 2016Friendo Blendo espresso beans from Four Barrel is a multi region blend available today as a cold brew. The extra roasting brings out a butter flavor in the body that compliments the hint of sweet corn

Colleen T. • August 19, 2021A large and funky selection of natural wines + plenty of outdoor space to enjoy it!

Thomas G. • May 8, 2015The longanisa sausage...all you need to know.

Adelin C. • March 16, 2012Everything is delicious here. Thanks to a friend's recommendation, I now get their tonic (no alcohol) with each meal for $4. Every time it's just a little bit different.

Adrian P. • November 21, 2015My favorite item on the menu is the Bun Tay Kauser. It is a slightly spicy coconut chicken curry noodle dish that's mixed together right at your table. The samosas are a great way to start the meal.

🐍Ssstephanie • February 7, 2019Beautiful new Japanese vinyl bar inspired space in Uptown

Angie C. • September 12, 2020Matzo ball soup with challah toast is the ultimate comfort food!

Brian S. • December 18, 2014One of the elite pizza places in Oakland. Not better than Zachary's, but with a very nice full bar and just as kid friendly, it may edge out Zachary's in terms of the overall experience.

Morgan D. • January 21, 2017Perhaps the most amazing burgers (meaty & vegan) you can get anywhere!

Jason C. • February 24, 2017Pliny the Elder, 21st Amendment, Golden State Cider and many more. They also have a huge selection of sour brews (my fav)

Lisa R. • September 16, 2021Get the tomato cocktail. All the food is great - menu smaller so go with a group to try it all.

Bob T. • August 21, 2018Great coffee and super customer service. The location in a modern shipping container makes Equator Coffee a trendy addition to Oakland. Look for Equator Coffee in SFO too.

Helen D. • March 18, 2022The tofu is amazing!

Jim F. • March 18, 2014Cold brew + warm day = best thing ever. Get you some.

Neil B. • June 28, 2015Make sure to try the Dutch crunch bread. It's one of their specialties.
