My favorite bakery in the Bay Area. And it's because of one sole reason: they figured out how to bake a croissant, bacon and an egg all in one! It's a modern wonder of the world and you just need to try it.

My go-to Mediterranean food in Alameda. I always get the Tahina Bowl, but the Cali Bowl is excellent too. The bowls have so much variety. Mouthwatering, fresh, and nutritious too. They make the food SO fast. Order and it's ready in 10 minutes or less. Just pull up curb side on Buena Vista Avenue, hop out, grab your food, and go!

Enjoy a wide sand beach in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area. Sweeping views of the San Francisco skyline, kiteboarders, and California's famous sunsets. What's not to love? Since it's San Francisco Bay, the waves are very small and the water level is shallow almost a football field out of shore, so it's a very family-friendly beach.
