About Merritt Restaurant & Bakery

Merritt Restaurant & Bakery is a cozy establishment, known for its warm and comfortable atmosphere, despite its smaller location and limited street parking. The restaurant is famous for its delicious fried chicken and strawberry shortcake, which were highly praised for their taste and the exceptional customer service that accompanies them. However, there have been some comments regarding the pastries, specifically the strawberry cake, being heavier and less filled with fresh strawberries and whipped cream compared to other places, with a noticeable glaze used as a preservative. Despite this, Merritt Bakery remains an Oakland institution, offering a variety of cookies, pies, cakes, and even fried chicken on their menu, with hopes for improvements to keep customers returning.
