Maison d’Être. Maison d’Etre is my favorite gift shop in Oakland. When I wanted to brighten up my day during COVID and SIP I would stop by to browse and pick up a new liquid soap; they have so many beautiful bottles to choose from.
Nathan & Co. is also a sweet gift boutique on College, although I also shop at their Piedmont Avenue store. For the past two Christmas’ I bought my daughter vibrant cookbooks from Nathan & Co.
Grab lunch or dinner at Belotti Ristorante e Bottega.
Meet a friend for Happy Hour at Acote. They have a charming back patio.

Casa Barotti Spizzicheria. It’s actually a hybrid between pizza and focaccia. They make their dough with a blend of soft winter wheat from both California and Italy.
Boichik Bagels
A true New York bagel company in Oakland/Berkeley. My daughter, who lives in New York, is always asked to bring back NY bagels, but she has always said, Boichik Bagels are better. To her delight, there was a write-up in our local newspaper stating exactly as she always professed. –Expect a line, although it does tend to move fast. Someone will come out and take your order, which is helpful.
