33 Grand Ave./Broadway), Uptown, (510) 835-7898. B-L-D daily; $$. No reservations.
My favorite spot in this tiny coffeehouse is the upstairs balcony, which has a row of seats overlooking the action downstairs. Sidewalk seating is prime in good weather. The breakfast menu at Farley's East is small--scrambled egg sandwich, frittata of the day, bagel, housemade granola, steel-cut oatmeal, assorted muffins—and the lunch menu features hot panini (I plan to try the prosciutto-fig-arugula-balsamic described as “heavenly” along with a crunchy peanut butter cookie for dessert) and cold sandwiches, including a vegan lentil-cashew hummus with avocado and cucumber. Several magazine stands provide reading material, and local art entertains the eye.
Way more things to do in Oakland.
More ideas for exploring Northern California.
