“I did a walk-in just to have a quick peek today and they fortunately had one spot open! The cats were so friendly and receptive to pets and scratches. The separation of studios further inside the cafe was really cool for individualized socializing. It's also super clean and stocked with toys and seating areas. The decor and cat houses were so cute too!”

I've been here on other nights when it gets cold when the sun goes down.In short, performances are always great, but dress for the weather to fully enjoy the experience.”

“Great place to find art supplies at an affordable price. Parking can be a bit difficult to find on the weekends, and sometimes items are a hit or miss. I would definitely recommend checking it out during the weekday for the best items”

“Storyline church came into my life at the perfect time when I was going through a lot of inner healing and growth in my relationship with God. There is a lot of warmth when you step into the walls of Storyline, one that I certainly wasn't used to from a previous church I went to for years. I prayed about finding a church like this and it almost seemed too good to be true to find it, but God was listening to my prayers and he delivered like He always does. The community is amazing and the church is continuously growing. Pastor Akeem loves to connect with each person who walks through the doors (which is hard to come by with other churches), and the leadership team goes above and beyond in how they connect with all the congregants. It's exciting to see where Storyline is headed this year and I'm so thankful to be here!”

“What a great place! Dropped off two bikes today with Rich and John, who could not have been more friendly and welcoming. So happy for their willingness to help find new homes for these unassuming little bikes our kids learned to ride on and had so much fun with. Great business, great cause, great staff! (p.s. Drove right by it the first time but it is exactly where Maps says it is. Look carefully and you'll see the signage on the door.)”

“I've been attending SCC for almost 6 years now, and have been so blessed to call it home. When I moved to the Bay Area, I visited multiple churches to find where God was calling me to stay. I knew this was the place after my first visit. I was welcomed by loving people from all walks of life with open arms. This church is a beautiful mosaic of different cultures, ethnicities and backgrounds where no one person feels less important than the other. I'm so glad I found a real community of believers, who I can turn to for anything, as we pursue our calling together. SCC is rooted in scripture, powerful worship and the belief in Christ as our savior.”

“So much to love about this community garden. Right in the heart of West Oakland, it's an oasis of nurtured nature. Pick up seasonal seedlings to add to your garden. Or grab fresh organic produce from their community fridge. If your lucky you might get a dozen of fresh eggs from the chickens that live in the garden. It's a sweet place to bring little ones to see how an organic farm works and then enjoy the play structure. I love this little gem and what it does for the community.”

“This place is a fruit tree lovers paradise. I can get lost for hours browsing their inventory, which I must say is "A LOT"! From tropicals, sub tropicals and everything in between. They do carry more than fruit trees, so check out their website for any other interest. Prices are great for what selections and varieties they offer.Last, but not least. I received great customer service from Yeni. She was really cool and went out of her way to help me out. Thanks again!! Hope to see you guys in the spring or summer when everything is in bloom.”

“A Christian rescue mission, homeless shelter and charity organization that transforms the lives of sinners, including former robbers and drug dealers through rigorous Bible education, cooking responsibilities, house-keeping responsibilities, and referrals for job training to outside organizations such as People Ready and Episcopal Community Services. One gentleman I met named Antonio is in a cooking program through Episcopal Community Services.There is a lack of accountability, and a serious need to reinforce Biblical values with the foul language and lack of seriousness in glorifying Jesus with words and conduct.Regardless, I am very thankful for the resources and opportunities City Team Oakland has given for broken people like me to turn away from my sinful ways and keep in step with the spirit.”

“Oakland Nature Friends is a nature-loving hiking club and an excellent place for yearly German dances and German festivals. I attended the Biergartenfest 2018 and it is such a beautiful location. I enjoyed the entertainment. The costumed NF Schuhplatter dancers were fun. The German beer and food was delicious. I can't wait for Octoberfest.”

“Donating my clothes is easy, and I always find something to take home with me. Compared to your more typical chain thrift store, I appreciate how well layed-out the store is. Items are organized by size and color, racks aren't overpacked, and backround music is quiet. It makes for a much more pleasant experience. I also enjoy that they always have tag sales on their items that have been around a bit longer, as it ensures you can always find a good deal!”
