Almond & Oak

The environment is laid back, and just feels good to be around. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and their huge windows open up for an indoor, outdoor feeling. We ordered the beignets to start, and they were soft and delicious. I ordered their yogurt bowl, and it was the perfect amount of toppings to yogurt ratio. Their French fries were also amazing. Service was a little slow, but overall good for brunch on a Sunday morning!

I've come here 3 times now (brunch and dinners) and each time I've ordered something different. I feel the portions could be bigger because every time I finish a meal I feel I need more. The food is good overall is good. Their menu has a good variety with a little bit of something for everyone. The hamburger is definitely a go-to that hasn't disappointed. The service and ambiance is definitely a vibe. It's a chill hipster spot. The waitress and hostess were kind and promptly seats us. Come give it a try. "High on Food.

The Benedict was yummy! Got it twice. Salad was too salty one day and had too much pepper the other. Love the big windows that let lots of light in. I like how open the space is. Will be back to try more food!

First time here... Great service... I ordered the steak sandwich and that was really good.. Pretty nice size and i got a side of fries... A lot of flavor and i really like the bread it was served on... I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for an early lunch... Good ambience, nice steady crowded... Really impressed with this establishment.. The beignets was pretty good with the sauce/ filling on the side i will come back and try this place again.

Service - 5/5Food - 5/5Ambiance - 5/5Came w/o a reservation at 6:15pm on a Thursday and was seated at the bar. Immediately loved the moody vibe upon walking in!Ratatouille- was my first time trying this dish and was very impressed! So much flavor and very tasty.Focaccia- buttery and delicious. Was great with the ratatouille

I love the ambiance, food, service was great, and I highly recommend the michelada and the beignets. I loved the pozole as well.

Great spot for brunch. Love the openness and high ceilings. Drinks and food were delicious. Friendly and attentive staff. Would go back to try other dishes.

Came here for dinner with a couple girlfriends. Love the ambiance of the place and the awesome open kitchen and bar. Here are a few things we got:- House-Made Burrata: Foccacia was just okay, wish it was more soft and fluffy. marinated broccoli and olives had nice flavor and not too salty and sour. The prosciutto was good, the saltiness paired well with the burrata. The burrata was fresh and creamy.- Ratatouille: I like the polenta in the dish because it was fried on the outside and soft/creamy on the inside. The veggies were good and well seasoned. The tomatoes some were small and kept whole.- Confit Pork Shoulder: Tender pork piece surrounded with a bed of cut apples, brussels, and parsley. A bit salty but the side helped even it out.- NY Steak: a bit too salty for my taste along with the creamed greens. The crispy shoestring onions didn't really go together in a bite for me.-For dessert we had the German chocolate cake which for me was a bit too sweet. I thought the coconut flavor overpowered the chocolate.Overall we enjoyed the restaurant and our server was friendly.

Definitely work checking out, the windows are usually open and it's the perfect vibe for a nice dinner. All the food was fantastic and we sat at the bar, so the service was quick and great!I would for sure come back to this spot to try other entree options.

Shared the Chive Scrambled Eggs and Baked French Toast and both were yum! I particularly liked the french toast bc it had the perfect balance of being sweet but not guilty pleasure sweet so it hit the spot!This is a fun little street within Oakland where you can shop a bit, pick up pastries, and also dine at this place that gives Wood Tavern vibes but brunch. If I was looking to bring out of towners to around this area, this brunch place would be a no brainer bc the seating is good, service is great, and the ambience is very fitting.Overall, would come again!
