Experience all that Oakland has to offer when you shop local this holiday season. From hand crafted makers creations, local fashion designs, vintage treasures, foodie finds, and eclectic shops filled with unique gifts – Oakland is the place to find the perfect present for someone special.
This is the original location of this macrobiotic, organic, vegan restaurant with a few locations around the East Bay, where you’ll find a garden terrace where you can sit (the dining room is quite plain here, but is also tranquil and quiet). The set menu rotates twice a day, and is always a plate of various dishes, served as moderate (which is an ample serving), or full, which is quite large for a couple dollars more.
You’ll get a soup (often bean or lentil), with a variety of cooked vegetable dishes, brown rice, legumes, and a salad—and you’ll always see collards. The food is so nutritious and very clean, but can be quite bland, which is good for folks on cleanses or a restricted diet (the black beans usually pack some good flavor). It’s good food to reset with. There are also some raw and baked goods, pie, and at least six kinds of kombucha!
