Voted the best baguette in the bay area! The rustic baguette is not to be missed, but the croissants and pastries are pure deliciousness.

Walking distance from the apartment. Hands down the best brunch in Oakland, 7 days a week. And right by the lake so you can enjoy the view before or after your meal. Prepare to wait, but the savory French toast is worth it!

Not just a museum, but this is the century old building that houses the systems for the cable cars. It's amazing to see the giant spools of cables in action. Not to be missed!
