One of my favorite Easy Bay restaurants for when I have a little money to spend. Wood-fired pizza and seasonal dishes, craft cocktails, great atmosphere. You can stop by for a drink at the bar and take it all in. On the weekends, they serve coffee and an array of delicious house made pastries! Very relaxed vibe. Definitely worth going for a morning cup of coffee and sweet or savory treat!

This bakery has become somewhat famous in the East Bay for their mochi muffins, which are gluten-free and not why most people eat them. If you like mochi, you'll love them! An the best - they get better over the course of 3 days, instead of going stale! They have delicious GF donuts too that may knock your socks off. Open 10-4 everyday but Sunday.

This is an artisan take-out restaurant in the Gourmet Ghetto (around the corner from Chez Panisse). The chef is French and the menu is seasonal. Sandwiches are tops (think fried chicken sandwich) and people love their crispy potato puffs, which have earned cult status in the Bay. You can order online and I think delivery is an option.

Worth the wait ... a slice of pie you will not forget. You will want to buy more by the time it's your turn to order. The bread is outstanding and is worth taking home (it freezes like a charm too).
