Food Scene

Here are some of our favorite places to eat in the neighborhood.
One of my favorite bakeries is on Lakeshore Avenue called Arizmendi Bakery. On Friday they have Sourdough Croissants. Everything is great there especially the pizza slices. It's an Oakland specialty.

Great pizza and literally a 2 minute walk from the apartment. They also make these great sourdough rolls stuffed with mushrooms and onions or sausage and olives. So good. Definitely much try this place.
