    Banilla Cheesecake mini and watermelon agua fresca
    Adrian L.

    I heard about Crazy Block from Instagram. I love barbecue and had to check them out. I ordered the Beef Rib plate that comes with two bones and two sides. I selected collard greens and corn bread. The ribs had a nice smoky flavor but wasn't fall off the bone tender. The sides were really good. I enjoyed a mini Banilla cheesecake and watermelon agua fresca. I look forward to trying more barbecue spots in Oakland.

    Ate all my food..

    The Ambiance is amazing, the service is amazing, the food was just ok. It wasn't bad, but not my go to for good BBQ. I ordered a 2 way, Beef Rib and Brisket, my sides were, collard greens and candy yams. I was set to order the Mac & Cheese, but when I saw it come out I changed my mind. The brisket was cook to perfect, but I had to add BBQ sauce to enjoy it . Though I am a heavy sauce guy, I like the meat banging without it. The beef rib, cooked to perfect, but was a bit tough for my liking,and since I cook beef ribs, I know the procedures to get rid of that toughness. I must add that the 2 way should come with cornbread or at least a slice of bread. ‍ And toothpicks should be available ‍‍ Now shame on me for coming to Crazy Block Cheesecake and not get a cheesecake ‍. I will visit again to try the chicken and the lamb, because I like the owners IG presence and vibe.

    Found this place through social media and it immediately went on my must try list. Parking in the area is pretty easy, I snagged street parking right across the street without any trouble. The service was quick and super friendly and I even got to meet the owner who was genuinely warm and welcoming. Always a good sign when the owner is present and engaged. I ordered the combo plate with brisket, ribs, coleslaw and mac and cheese and everything was outstanding. The mac and cheese is an absolute must, incredibly creamy and the kind of side dish that steals the show. The brisket and ribs were exactly what you want from a BBQ spot. What really surprised me though was the longanisa. I've had longanisa plenty of times but never prepared with a BBQ flair like this. It was a really fun and delicious twist that I wasn't expecting. Also grabbed the latke and that was a great call too. This place is doing something really special and I'd highly recommend it to anyone. Definitely coming back soon!

    This place is always on my mind whenever I'm feeling hungry, even when I'm not in the mood for bbq which is crazy right!? Service is always on point & I LOVE the aesthetics of the restaurant. The Dino rib, dear lawd the Dino rib is priced to sell which is why it was sold out the first time I came here. But the second time! I grabbed two pounds & it was well worth it. The meat is so dang tender & the flavor is not typical bbq flavor which is why I'm so obsessed! It's so good! The Mac & cheese is soooo creamy! A different take on the popular side dish has me in an eternal chokehold as a Mac n cheese connoisseur. Show up hungry & leave with extra! Portions will leave you walking out with a smile believe it. *Edit* there's Dragon Ball playing on the tv, they're goated!

    "Boozie sent us" Lol We found this place on TikTok from BoozieBrunch. We came for the Dino Ribs but they only sell them on certain days (Friday, Saturday and Sundays?) My husband enjoyed everything on his tray: Beef ribs, coleslaw, baked beans with brisket. He said everything tasted sooo good. Thumbs up on adding vinegar on the BBQ. He also ordered the links on the side. My food was ok: BBQ chicken, mac & cheese, collard greens. There were four pieces of chicken but not very meaty portions. I wouldn't order the mac and cheese again. The collard greens were good. We got the the brisket, candied yams and cornbread to go for our kids. They said the brisket was really tender and flavorful. They didn't want to share. No one really liked the candied yams. The star of the meal was the Henny Praline Cheesecake. OMG! I should've got the bigger serving. Not too sweet, loved the praline topping. We'll be coming back. Hubby really wants to try the Dino Ribs.

    An absolute Oakland gem! You simply can't beat this spot in the area. If you're in town, this place is a must stop for incredible food. This time I went with the Dino Ribs, and they were unbelievably tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Every bite was worth it! The quality, portions, and overall experience keep me coming back. If you're looking for amazing barbecue and a place that delivers every time, do yourself a favor and stop by.

    Ben goes above and beyond to serve the community with bomb food & the best cheesecakes! Happy one year to him and his business! Still my fav brisket! I've recently fallen in love with the passion fruit mini cheesecakes. To die for!

    I remember when Crazy Block Cheesecake used to be based in Alameda and I think at the time they only had cheesecakes, but now they have all kinds of BBQ and even latkes! The owner has absolutely perfected the craft of a good cheesecake. The first time I had a cheesecake from here was when they were still in Alameda and I bought a TooGoodToGo surprise bag from them. I got lucky and ended up with a medium cheesecake and a mini one. I talked about the cheesecakes regularly but hadn't gone back. This past weekend, they celebrated their one year anniversary at their storefront in Oakland. The owner has created such a vibe with vibrant paintings in and around the restaurant and they even had karaoke all day long for their anniversary. They should honestly have it every weekend. I could totally see myself going regularly with friends to just have bbq + cheesecake and vibe out with some karaoke. I ordered the Ube Buko Pandan Cheesecake and the Gulab Jamun Cheesecake, mini for each of them. I was worried that the Gulab Jamun would be super sweet and overly saturated with the rose flavor, but it was actually perfectly balanced. Every bite had the perfect amount of cheesecake to gulab jamun flavor. The ube buko pandan tasted like it had real ube in it, but maybe I was fooled. Either way, I hope it stays on the menu! For the BBQ, we ordered pulled lamb and brisket with mac and cheese + coleslaw. I was personally really enjoying the lamb even without any sauce. It had a nice seasoning blend on it. The natural lamb flavor was also pretty subdued, but in a good way. We also got some of their habanero sauce, which kinda reminded me of filipino vinegar. I really enjoyed it.

    We're always on the hunt for great barbecue around Lake Merritt, and this place did not disappoint. We actually stumbled upon Crazy Block Cheesecakes by chance, and before we even made it inside, the owner was standing outside holding a tray with a lamb burger and fries. That alone had our attention. One look at that tray and we knew we had to check it out. Inside, the place has a fun vibe and an incredible display case packed with cheesecakes in just about every flavor you can imagine. It's hard not to stare at it for a minute before ordering. For lunch, my husband ordered the tri-tip burger with fries, and I went with the lamb burger with mac and cheese on the side. I also ordered one latke, which came with sour cream and applesauce, and that turned out to be a great call. Everything we tried was flavorful and satisfying. The barbecue was well seasoned and cooked just right. The lamb burger had great flavor, and the mac and cheese made the perfect comfort-food side. That latke was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and paired perfectly with the sour cream and applesauce. And then there's the cheesecake situation. The display case is stacked with options and honestly feels like a mini cheesecake museum. Even if you came just for barbecue, it would be hard to leave without taking a cheesecake home. The food was tasty, the portions were generous, and the whole experience felt welcoming and relaxed. It's always fun finding a spot that feels a little unexpected but delivers big on flavor. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu. Well done, Block. Well done indeed. Pro tip: Come hungry and save room for cheesecake. The display case alone is worth a visit.

    Such a cute place. I was lured in by the owners IG marketing campaign. Finding a parking space was rough on a Saturday night. I placed my order online only to find that they were out of lamb upon my arrival. I had to pay and upgrade charge to get Salmon instead. Things I ordered Brisket: tender and delicious Salmon: Good flavor Links: dry - wont order again Yams - super sweet but delicious Mac n cheese - not 'traditional' but garlicky and tasty Baked beans (vegetarian and meat) tasty but for different reasons. The star of this review the Latke! I only got one because I wasn't sure. But the thickness, the oninion, the salt. It came with applesauce and sour cream. Im in love and will return.

    1 pound of brisket
    Hope L.

    Came here on a Sunday and it wasn't busy. We ordered a pound of lean brisket, a lamb sandwich, and a mini chocolate cheesecake. Everything was so tasty! I asked for lean brisket and it was so juicy and tender even though it was lean. The lamb was also super tender as well. The bun wasn't my favorite personally as it was a bit bland so I only had a bite of it. The bbq sauce was delicious! It wasn't too thick and it was on the sweeter side. We also tried the garlic aioli but it wasn't my favorite as it was a bit bland as well and just tasted like a plain sauce with not a lot of flavor. The chocolate cheesecake was amazing! It wasn't too thick and heavy and it wasn't overly sweet either. The graham cracker crust was yummy as well as I believe it's homemade. Would love to try another flavor cheesecake next time!

    So many flavors to try!!! Of cheesecakes!!

    Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Value: 7/10 Wait time: 0 minutes Second time coming to try the cheesecake! This time I tried the mango and pandan with ube cheesecakes. I really liked the mango cheesecake! It was just the right amount of sweet mango and cheesy cheesecake! It was a little refreshing with the mango taste too! The pandan ube was good too but got a little too sweet at the end. I also tasted more pandan than ube. The first time I went I tried matcha and banilla and those were both delicious! If I had to pick one though I would pick fhe matcha! The bitter taste of the matcha tea offsets the rich cheesy cheesecake. But I would honestly get both of those flavor again! The only thing is I feel like the price point os a little high for the mini cheesecakes that are 3 inches in diameter. I bought 2 each time is it was $14.93 with tax! So definitely more of a special treat type of a dessert!

    Fell in love with Miharu after a friend suggested we try it out on a whim before a concert at Fox…read moreTheater! The moment you walk into the shop, you'll notice the current flavor offerings displayed on colorful ice cream-shaped signs across the wall to the right. I could spend an eternity studying each flavor, but there's limited space to queue indoors so really gotta decide on a flavor and serving style fast in order to keep the line moving. Among the flavors were some classics, fruity/floral mixes, and dessert-inspired ones too, a whole range so there's something for everyone. I got the Breakfast Brownie and it was unforgettable! It tasted creamy and delightful without being overwhelming, while the cornflakes mixed inside added a satisfying crunch to each bite. I came back a second time before a show at Crybaby, a smaller venue across the street. Grabbing a scoop here to-go has naturally become part of my pre-concert routine at this point and I plan to come back again next time to explore more flavors. If you're ever heading to a show nearby, I'd definitely recommend stopping by beforehand for a lil energy boost and treat.

    Everything about Miharu is beyond stellar…read more The staff are always super enthusiastic about getting you to try samples and I love that they will always tell me which one their current favorite is because it helps me to narrow down which ones to sample. Also, whoever they have making their flavors is super creative! They list out all the flavors on the wall on super cute little ice cream scoop cut outs for you to browse while you wait in line. It is definitely more of a takeout ice cream spot with not a ton of seating so you either gotta get lucky with seating, wait for a spot, or take it to go. We got the pandan strawberry and the milk & cookies + cream. Next time I stop by I really want to try out their sundae!

When you go inside all the cheesecake and cookies, Peach cobbler just makes you feel so at home and feel good. Place was operating well, seem like a great business. The food taste as if it's made with Love.

    I've heard many things about Gregory's Gourmet Desserts but tried it today for the first time…read more Parking was a challenge, with the location being nestled within downtown, closer to Lake Merritt. I was surprised that no one spoke of business specifics in their reviews. There is a limit to how many can come in; and you are not allowed to touch anything when inside. There are also no prices listed anywhere. We thought this was odd. Our order: * Personal Peach Cobbler * Walnut Brownie * Banana Pudding For these 3 items, our total was over $25. The service was friendly but a bit awkward. You are only able to see cases of dessert options, it is more of a pick-up point, not so much a bakery location you can browse. I wouldn't suggest coming as a large group, there is no where to sit to enjoy your baked goods and parking is very difficult. While the cobbler and banana pudding were good, I wasn't a fan of the brownie. My partner enjoyed the cobbler a lot, but when we did the calculations, the prices were astronomical. I'm not sure what gourmet difference the items contained, but we likely would not come back to this bakery considering prices and parking. The location is cute, in theory, but with no actual location or displays, or price lists- what you pay for doesn't balance out. The lack of transparency for prices was very sus to us. I'm sure the business will continue on especially with how much they charged. I can't imagine the bakery location and building rent costing a lot as far as operating costs; as it is small, and not expansive at all. The price of the baked goods doesn't even go towards branded packaging. Which could be understandable. The only beverages available that I seen was Nesquik. Steep prices with no justification - especially when you have other bakeries in the area, in addition to Nation's for Pies, very affordable and classic as well. E&J's has a great banana pudding and cobbler as well for $6- they are also a Black-owned business and family operated. Absolutely no bad intent, just wanting to share transparency in my review so Yelpers know that prices are not listed, which means they are subject to fluctuation- in this economy that is not a fair way of doing business. One star per item we liked, for this review. As much signage is visible upon entry regarding rules and limited persons for entry at a time- not one area provided prices; only signs that tell you not to touch. It's required by law for prices at every establishment to be listed, according to SB 478 for general consumer goods and services in California.

I've been lucky enough to try four of their flavors, and each one showcases their signature silky texture and deep flavor. All are not too sweet! My personal favorite is the Kyoto Matcha - the matcha is high-quality, with a vivid green color and rich flavor that balances beautifully with the creamy cheesecake base. The Original is a classic for a reason with deeply caramelized top and creamy interior. I also tried the Iribancha, a roasted green tea flavor. It's intense, smoky, and unique..maybe not one I could finish in one sitting, but definitely memorable and recommend for those who want that earthy/smoky taste. The truffle was also a standout, adding just enough umami to round out the sweetness. Preorders drop via Instagram (@basukucheesecakes) and sell out lightning-fast. Otherwise, plan to line up for slices! Wishing Basuku all the best on their next chapter. Fingers crossed for a return to the Bay someday! Until then, don't miss your chance to try what might be the best cheesecake you've ever had.

They own an apartment in Paris and I didn't want to offend them with my usual guerrilla tactics. I'm known to fight dirty and conspire with others during this game and everybody hates me because of it, and I didn't want to be banned from their apartment, as Paris in the fall is lovely. Thus my journey with Walter began. One thing about me, is I respect a place that knows flavors. I don't want basic vanilla, give me some weird and strange and flavorful that will tantalize my palette and ignite my senses. Give me salty and sweet. Give me TANG. Give me these things and DONT give me gas. Bad Walters cracked the code. All flavor, real dairy, no lactose, no gas. Each week they have a different batch of flavors, so there's always something new to explore. There's like 6 flavors to choose from at once and they let me try them all before I selected my choice hehe. I tried to sample 6 flavors at Cold Stone and they took me out back and shot me, but here, nobody was mean to me. Mr. Potatohead is the flavor I landed on--brown sugar custard with peanut butter swirl and chocolate covered potato chips. The chunks of chocolate covered potato chips were lodged in the ice cream and I felt like an archaeologist excavating ancient rocks as my spoon lifted the potato chocolate chunks out of the creamy custard into my mouth. I bought a pint. The Mick Jagger was another joy, with its salty caramel and Oreo chunks. They're lucky Peaches Christ was sold out because I might've lost my mind for a peach cobbler ice cream! They wouldve had to drag me out by the back of my neck like a rabid dog! Maybe next time. All in all, tasty ice cream. Would recommend.

We have been extremely loyal customers ever since. They rotate flavors, but through many months and many visits I don't think I've ever tried a bad one. The flavors are also very fun, not your typical cookies and cream, cookie dough, etc. Although they do have a plain version sometimes. The employees are very helpful and kind letting you sample the flavors. Our absolute favorite is tinky winky- ube flavored ice cream with honey comb pieces. They also sell points to the side- take advantage. You'll want more when you're done! The ambiance and vibe of bad Walter's is perfect. Bright colors, disco ball dripping, fun sayings on the cups, the whole 9 yards. The take home pint we got has Reddit "hate" comments and their responses, it's hilarious. This ice cream store is way more of a vibe than any marketing agent could dream of. Who would've thought I wish I could be a rep for an ice cream company? Oh and they also do a stamp card when you buy pints to get a free scoop. You bring in the containers so they can recycle them. It's a win win for both sides, loves it. Best ice cream ever!!!

    We come from out of State to Oakland to visit family and our favorite cafe for our daily coffee has…read morebeen Sana'a Cafe! Their organic coffee tastes great, the space is pleasant with a lot of natural light and the atmosphere is relaxed. We also love the mix of clientele which is just so Oakland. However this visit has been different. The quality of service has fallen tremendously. Despite the specific but extremely simple instructions of the order, it's rarely followed fully. One day it will be perfect, the next the coffee is barely warm when one has asked for extra hot; or one coffee will be sweetened and the other not at all when the instructions clearly ask for light sweet. One day we got two espressos instead of two cortados! The heated fatayer were cold in the corners and all crowded on to one plate so you couldn't tell which has which filling. Just generally, it's as if the people behind the counter no longer care that your experience should be great or that one cup of coffee that you have in your day be perfect! It's not even as if one is asking for anything outside of their ordering menu. We're really dismayed and saddened to see our favorite coffee haunt fall so far from grace. Here is hoping, though, that they will rethink their service attitude.

    Wanted a sweet treat after a long day, and sana'a cafe was the perfect place!…read more Me & my friend were craving a late night bite and this was one of the few places open near us at the time. We got the honeycomb to share, and it was so delish! It balanced sweet and savory well with a lovely fragrance. It didn't feel too heavy and just what I needed after a tiring day.
