There’s a fantastic little joint in Denver that we frequented quite often called Snooze. In fact, there are many places in Denver that serve fantastic breakfast. But in Oakland, we’ve been hard-pressed to find one with the panache of this great morning hipster hangout.
That is, until we found the Rockridge Café. Though it lacks any [...]

Some places have the hype. Some have the atmosphere. Some have the food. Some have all three.
This review isn’t about one of them.
Instead, let us visit Pizzaiolo, a little joint on Temescal near Doña Tomás that we went to a few weeks ago to try it on for size. We spotted it when we at [...]

The first time my wife and I came to the East Bay we heard about it. The second time she came along to find a home, and she had a (thin) slice. Not bad, she said… not great, either. Then we moved here and tried some slices together. More of the same: decent, not great.

We wanted a drink, too. That [...]
À Côté (1)

When it comes to excitement for local eateries, I can hardly imagine surpassing the enthusiasm the wife and I had for going to À Côté on College Avenue in Rockridge. We knew it was time to go, so we set up a reservation for Friday night at 7.30pm. It was on. And we invited two [...]
