“walked by several times, then decided to give it a try .... WOW!!!! you have to give it a try, suggest the Chef choice or book one of their special servings but that has to be done 24 hours in advance. food looked amazing and tasted better than it looked.“
“Easily our favorite find since our daughter started school at UC Berkeley. The people there are so down to earth so kind. The food is amazing all the empenadas we have had are delicious. The Boba drinks there are so different than your run of the mill Boba “

“Oh Sweet Cravings, where have you been all my life! Seriously. We were in town for a family event and had lunch in the area, and my relatives highly recommended this place some after lunch sweets. I'm a huge fan of filipino desserts and this place had such a wonderful selection. They even had espasol which is one of my top favorites and a lot of places don't carry regularly. Let me just say.. it's one of the best versions I've had. I'm kicking myself for not getting more! Other standouts were the calamansi bites (an upgraded version of the lemon bar) and the coffee flan. So delicious.We also tried the sticky bibingka, ube halaya, salted hazelnut silvana, and all of these items were good as well. The staff was very friendly and the shop was very cute and clean. I almost forgot to mention they also have halo halo, turon and many other goodies. You can't go wrong with anything really. I hope to return sooner than later for that espasol.“
“Went for a cute little Tuesday evening dinner with my wife. First impressions: WOW ? We already felt so welcome after seeing the pride flag in the door but all the plants inside really made it feel like home.We ordered some cocktails (the Golden State of Mind was delightful!) the pork adobo and the lechon kawali -- it was my first time trying Filipino food and i. Am. Hooked!!Ended the meal with some halo halo, which we highly recommend“

“They are located in the Ferry Building and offer seating both inside and outside with a view of the bay. I recently tried their chicken wings, which were so delicious—I highly recommend them! In general, their food is always delicious, and the service is very good.“
“Ok so I had the tower of waffle, a biscuit with sausage gravy and the braised brisket. The waffles were really tasty but I was disappointed in the size and cost of the dish (looked different than the menu pictures).The biscuit was ok but the sausage gravy to me was subpar in flavor and bits. The brisket was tasty but again didn't say to me I'd make another trip back for it. The staff was great, the ambience was ok the place was small and parking took a few minutes. They did however have a huge Christmas stripper pole in the middle of the place.Parking: This place is small, they have a parklet which takes up parking spots. Being a small place there can be a line after you wait for parking, I recommend walking or biking in.“
“I give this bakery chain a 10/10. If you come early morning and get a chance to try this warm and fresh, you’re in for a treat.These are warm, buttery, sweet bread, that I can’t eat enough of. The Cassava cake is so good as well, filled with coconut, and very sweet“
“Big Shout Out to this Establishmennt!!!!I only had cash and not enough money on my Debit Card. The owner gave me the Pulled Pork Adobo Sandwich and said to pay him next time. I can't wait to go back and show him my appreciation......AND the Sandwich was AMAZING!THANK YOU CAFE GABRIELA✨️??❤️“
“First time, it was a great experience. The brightness of the business color was cool as I rode past They had the garage doors open and I noticed they have a nice long bar in the back area of the place. I parked and walked in to see the huge bright menu. They must known I was blind lol ? but I never been in and stood there hungry and intimidated by this cool big menu that sounds so great when you're hungry, everything sounded good, until a few orders came out and the gentleman nicely explained what they were and I got the rice bowl with the pork, with fried egg was fire ? it just enough to satisfy my appetite and I didn't need to take anything home. It was just enough, very tasty with the little interesting salad. I don't know what it was, but it was damn good, check my pictures.“
“We stopped here on our honeymoon back in June 2021. I still think about about this food almost every day. Hands down the best greens, mac n cheese, and yams I have EVER eaten. It is magical. I just want to move to Oakland and live upstairs so I can't have it all the time. ???“
“This place is a sweet little Gem! Definitely go when there’s an outdoor party in the backyard. Like Disco Dountz for EDM (w/ their family friendly gigs.) I wish I had the cool parents to take me here when I was little! People dress up, adults have fun, dodge the occasional tricycle, and it’s a dj’d outdoor playground for all! Parking nearby is cool too. It’s a noon-8 scene.“
“stumbled across this place one night looking for a quick bite and ended up spending the entire night there instead of our original plans and loved it so much, we went back a week later and are going to book the upstairs venue for my partners bday next month!Where do i even begin! the community kitchen concept is inspiring and revolutionary and i’ve seen them feed people who are unable to afford their meals multiple times as well as customers paying more than suggested on their sliding scale menu to cover the cost of others. it’s such a beautiful and noble form of mutual aid and i really hope it’s successful!Dora at the counter took such good care of us and the food was DELISH! the level of care and service and the love the food is made with makes you feel like you’re eating a home cooked meal. Dora’s energy was so infectious and bright and she ended up preparing us tofu and mushroom adobo and a dino nugget bowl with an egg and rice that i’m still thinking about. the second time we went, the menu had changed and i can’t recommend the coco mojo potatoes and birthday cake bibingka any more highly! the only downside is they’ve been out of the lumpia both times i’ve gone and i’m dying to try it! GREAT vegan and vegetarian options but proportions aren’t the biggest so order one of everything!If you haven’t been to an event at the speakeasy-style Baba’s House, you’re missing out on one of the most unique cozy-night-OUT experiences in the east bay. the living room-esque lounge and majong den has the charm of a house party with the excitement of a venue. We ended up wandering into an open jam sesh with local musicians halfway through the night, my partner couldn’t help but join them. the walls are lined in yummy asian snacks and there’s a big fridge full of beverages with some of the best non-alcoholic options i’ve seen + beer, wine, and a bar for cocktails. It’s so fun to cozy up on the couch and experience live music 6 ft in front of you and a sensory HEAVEN of ambient lighting. The owners Jenn and Alan are so welcoming and make perfect hosts for the various events that happen in the space. while the space upstairs is not ada accessible, they helped carry my partners wheelchair up and down the stairs which was very kind.We can’t wait to attend many more ever and in the space and throw our own event there next month!Vegetarian options: half the menu is vegetarian/vegan!“
“Gotta give props to Curbside Kitchen and their flavorful Filipinx inspired burgers! Love how they are representing the PI culture and their food truck is conveniently available next to Armistice Brewery, which has great ambiance. Perfect food pairing with beer!The owners are nice and it took about 10 min for them to whip up my signature Curbside burger, which has Tocino (Filipino bacon) and it was absolutely delicious and filling. The beef patty was hot and flavorful, the brioche bun was a nice bite, the pickled veggies gave a nice acid pop to tickle the tastebuds- everything was hot and fresh and the portion was just enough. Will try their lumpia and other items when I'm back - they also do catering with an extended menu!“
