Results for Oakland
Oakland is the city east of the SF Bay, often overlooked and misunderstood. It has a deep, complicated history and culture, but I have come to embrace and appreciate Oakland's diversity, where people of all different professions, skin colors, and economic backgrounds live. Not to mention, they have an absolutely incredible food scene, and plenty to see and do – which I have covered in detail in this guide.
As a devoted food enthusiast and a resident of this vibrant city, my expertly curated city guide reveals my top 100 spots in the Oakland area. It covers where to eat, drink, and what to do.

Welcome to Oakland, California, your unexpected coffee destination. Did you know in 2023 Oakland was voted the #8th best coffee city in the United States? It has continued to be in the top 10 for about a decade climbing as high as #3 in 2018. This comes as no surprise to the locals as there are well over 2300 coffee shops and 17-plus roasters. Studies say that for every 2500 people in Oakland, there is a coffee shop. So I hope you'll join me to get a small glimpse into Oakland's bustling coffee scene.

Ever contemplated a new method of travel? A way to break up all of the traffic-filled roadtrips or miserable treks to the airport, only to wait 2-3 hours for a flight? Fed up with the same old highway views (or lack of views from the plane)?
If so, this guide is for you! From the very first time I boarded an Amtrak Long Distance (LD) train in 2016 in Oakland, CA, I was immediately overcome with excitement, which quickly morphed into a passion. I have yet to go on a trip and not catch myself in a trance staring out the window on multiple occasions, failing to read/watch all of the books/shows I thought I would need or having a deep conversation with a complete stranger in the observation car. These experiences are the reason why I write this guide, to share and hopefully inform prospective travelers.
If you are not familiar with Amtrak’s LD services, fear not! I intend to offer as much information about the train options, destinations, schedules and anything else I can think of to lead your potential adventure. If for some reason, I don’t cover something, feel free to reach out!
This is just part one of a three-part guide and will cover the intro as well as the first five long-distance trains (numerically). Be sure to check out the other two sections, the individual more in-depth route guides, as well as 20 Questions for an Amtrak LD First Timer (all coming soon!).
