    I loved the Kettle popcorn! I bought a small bag and I regret it because I ate half while walking to the car. Perfect sweet with salty!

    I always come on Fridays to get it in downtown Oakland, it's always a treat! Never fails to be a good popcorn! Workers are always nice too!

    I had the absolute pleasure of trying Bombzies today, and I'm still thinking about it!…read more From the moment I walked up, the owner was incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind it's rare to come across service that feels that personal and sincere. You can tell there's real passion behind what they're doing. Now let's talk about the food... WOW. I ordered the Korean BBQ, and it was hands down the best I've ever had. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the sauce was rich and unforgettable, the rice was cooked to perfection, and the kimchi had just the right kick. Every single bite was next level. This wasn't just a meal, it was an experience. Awesome owner, Amazing people, incredible food, and quality you can truly taste. If you see Bombzies, don't even think twice...go get it. You'll thank me later.

There are some dressed spring mix, pickled shredded carrot and daikon, kimchi, and cucumbers on the side that complete the meal. The char and flavor on my Korean BBQ chicken was good (a bit on the salty side but still enjoyable), and the rice and noodles were moist and plump; it's a solid bowl that I wouldn't mind eating every now and then. The main drawback is the price, especially for a casual DIY-style meal with mainly chicken and tofu choices. I also get food from Bombzies catered at my workplace and they're typically pretty good and specialize in flavorful Asian comfort food.

    Tucked near the Oakland flea market is a street sprinkled with authentic mexican pop stands. Our…read moreal pastor craving led us here for weekend lunch. Glad we made the trek out here. It's not the most convenient and typical location. More of an Oakland food adventure, you can to see more of the local vibes of food offerings. The spot is marked with the spinning trompo and this is their specialty. We sat down and our al pastor taco orders were off. They were definitely busy during lunch time and we were able to snag a table. Food is definitely made to order and sprinkled with pineapple. The al pastor was nicely charred and tasty. Table side salsa provides the option of the green salsa or fiery spicy red. The red salsa kicks a bunch but it burns so good. There's also pickled onions just beware of the orange slices as those seem to be habaneros. The staff are super friendly and we'll be coming back for more cravings. Cash only.

It had never been on my radar before, but after seeing some buzz about it on r/oaklandfood on Reddit, I had to try it. All I can say is: WOW. Do you know how The Cheesecake Factory has a massive menu with 200 items, none of which are done well? This is the exact opposite. They do one thing--Puebla-style al pastor, cooked on a trompo--and they have completely mastered it. The al pastor was cooked to perfection--not oily or greasy at all (which some places struggle with). The meat-to-tortilla ratio was spot-on, and the pineapple chunks were fresh, a real treat, and perfectly proportioned. A really nice touch is that the plate came with a flat tostada shell, so you can scoop up any filling that falls out. They offer two types of salsa picante: Salsa roja - Flavorful and seriously spicy Salsa verde - Milder but still delicious One word of caution: onions with habanero slices are on the tables. They are delicious but go slow--I overdid it and had to take a break. The stand has plenty of seating, it's very clean, and the people running it are super friendly and happy to answer questions. This is a top-tier taco spot. Highly recommend checking it out! Cash and Zelle / no credit cards

I stumbled upon this farmer's market as I was doing my blood bank rotation at Kaiser San Leandro. There were fewer vendors than last week so I opted to have baked potato as lunch. For $6 I got a baked potato that is at least twice the size of my fist in a tin foil plate. It also the standard fixings: bacon bits, jalapeños, shredded cheese and scallions. They also pour a little bit of chicken broth at the end so that your potato is still fluffy and you can take off bits of skin from the potato. Supposedly according to people it used to be $5. $1 for water or soda. Yes they take credit. Best $6 I've spent in a while! There was so much potato I saved half for the next day. Still tastes great even when microwaved.

    Arrived at about 4pm. The BART ride over was hot. The park was sunny and hot. The food was served…read morehot. The people attending, not so much... The music stage was by the lake and there was plenty of security enforcing the 'no alcohol past this point' rule where the crowd surrounding the stage was alcohol free. Lots of families with young children were gathered on the lawn clustered densely under the few shaded areas. There was a nice collection of food and beer vendors in addition to shiny stuff for sale. A handful of diehards were gyrating to the beats thrown down by a DJ. A main tent sold tickets for alcohol and food. Security and police presence was strong, and the peacekeepers were friendly, helpful and approachable. Very curious what the vibe would be like after dark. Pity I could not stay to find out. As I rode the BART back to SF, I saw train loads of beautiful people flocking to the city. It's Saturday Night y'all--have fun and stay safe!

    A perfect Saturday afternoon on Lake Merritt and free of charge (unbelievable). There were music at…read moredifferent venues (bars/cafes/restaurants) along the Lake, but we decided to go to the main stage first. The music at the ampitheater was a pleasant backdrop to the gorgeous view of the lake. I didn't pay attention to the band until Jennifer Johns came on stage. She spent 30+ minutes adjusting the sound. Jennifer blew me away with a rendition of Etta James' "At Last". Jennifer inspired people to leave their seats/spots on the grass and dance in front of the stage. She extolled everyone to make the Oakland sign (interlace fingers and put pads of thumbs together and hold hands over head). There was an older guy with white hair who did NOT stop dancing for 2+ hours straight. His arm motions (as if he were swimming) were fun to watch. We had a side view of the stage & musicians & techies from our seats. Across the street at the convention center, there were food trucks, vendor booths, port o potties, beer garden and most importantly - Curbside Creamery. I got my vegan ice cream sandwich (important because I missed her at the Grand Lake Farmers' Market earlier that morning). Some convention center recommendations for next year: 1. More food trucks (I counted only 2 at 2:30p) and and at least 1 vegan food truck. 2. Do not put the beer garden directly in front of the one walking path that leads to the convention center parking lot. People in line for beer block path to cross the street to the lake. Service also seemed slow. 3. Make DJ spinning area larger - much larger and give less grass space to vendors (people are there to listen to music and eat/drink, not so much to buy jewelry). 4. More Portable toilets 5. Create an area with picnic tables or stand up tables and chairs. There were 4 plastic chairs in the shade beside a food truck. We were lucky enough to get seats to eat. The main attraction for me (besides the vegan ice cream sandwich) was DJ spinning danceable music on one end. His 10 year old son was dancing, other kids dancing, adults dancing. Discovery: I am able to dance sans back pain on grass! Hooray. Around 7p, we decided to go to Portal (since Los Hermanos del Ritmo was playing), en route to Portal, we encountered a winnebago offering karaoke. A woman was singing Adele "We Could Have Had It All" and she was Fantastic. A crowd gathered to listen to her. After she finished singing, we continued onto Portal and had a lovely, entertaining dinner there, then took a Lyft home. I hope the EastLake Music Festival becomes an annual tradition. The crowd, the music line up, the venues themselves are an example of the rich cultural & ethnic diversity in Oakland that has become "normal" to me. The NYT has said Oakland is a second Brooklyn, but a day spent at the East Lake Festival proves that Oakland beats Brooklyn, hands down.
