Oakland

One of Oakland’s hipper neighborhoods, Temescal has emerged as an eating destination, home to culinary innovation and creative food producers. It's home to creative food producers, culinary innovation, and menus reflecting the diverse cultural mix of the community. Begin the tour with fresh seasonal produce at the Urban Village farmers market and pucker up for some fermented fun from Golden State Pickle Works. We follow those tastes with Baja-style tacos from Cholita Linda and a decadent sweet pastry known as a kouign-amann from Starter Bakery. Round out this tour with traditional Ethiopian injera (fermented flatbread) and wot (stew) from Abesha Ethiopian Cuisine, classic tofu soup from Pyeong Chang Tofu House, and a sweet end note in the charming alleys, courtesy of Curbside Creamery.
