Forage Kitchen

The owner is always hospitable I usually go to Taava kitchen. Today I was on my way to the beauty supply....on a quest for food before heading back home. I followed the sound of the live DJ and was pleased to find it was coming from a place I get food from a bit regularly.Chef Alreca's food is delicious! Thank you for the environment and the food and thank you to Forage for hosting this wonderful Chef.Will be following more of her.

Went by the reviews and was pleasantly surprised by the service, food and beer quality. There's always room for improvement starting from none alcoholic drinks through outside seating and shade, however place would get a solid 4 stars for outstanding service, beer in authentic mugs, mouth watering bratwurst, beads, sauerkraut snd pretzels. Pick your battle and try it allWill see you next time, warm, welcoming Oakland's Forage Kitchen.

I love this venue as it is outdoor, spacious, just beautiful with the lights! Hofkuche was a pop up and we enjoyed the drinks and food. Now it is gone but Forage Kitchen is now serving beers on First Friday and I am happy one of my fave local bands is still playing here! Hope they sell some nibbles to go with the beer!

*Open for outdoor dining*Popped by this beautifully lit outdoor area to see what it was all about. Food and drinks:This is a German food and drinks shop (not sure if it's considered a restaurant or not). Various German beers to choose from (from light to darker), wine, and German food (sausages, kraut, salads, etc.). We came here just to try it out, so got two beers and skipped out on the food. It did smell very good though!Service:To get drinks, there is a counter you can go up to for ordering.To get food, there is a QR code (in picture) on top of each table to scan for the menu. There's roughly 12 or so tables, some for smaller groups and some for larger groups.

Forage is a fantastic place to host a private party. We hosted a private 50th birthday party with about 70 guests. Forage staff were super helpful in designing a custom drink menu and small bites food. They also rearranged the tables and heat lamps to create a small outside section that perfectly fit our group size. We had a ton of fun and I really credit Forage for their attention to detail. I highly recommend considering Forage for an event...large or small. Both the inside space and larger outside space are lovely and have a great intimate feel. I will definitely use them again.

We came the opening day of Hofkuche pop up at Forage Kitchen. There are a lot of outdoor tables, all spaced out nicely. We had to wait about 20 minutes to get seated. We got a text when the table was ready. We both got beverages and shared a hot pretzel. FYI Obatza was more like a cream cheese. We love coming to Forage's pop ups, but this one was such a fun experience. People were dressed up and there was a two person band playing folk music. It felt like I wasn't even in a city. It almost felt, if I dare say, ~normal~.

Went for first Friday and they had a Jian bing pop up. The Jian bing were good. The crepes were thin, tasty, and soft. We had the classic, which was stuffed with shredded dried pork and crispy bits of dough. It had a slightly sweet and tangy sauce inside. Very light and tasty. We also tried the beef Jian bing, which was loaded with a thinly sliced sweet, soy beef. This was very meaty and pretty good. I also had the pandan mochi waffle with sweetened condensed milk and almonds, which was crispy and chewy from the mochi flour. This was a nice dessert.One thing to note, the cashiers taking orders seemed really spaced out and apathetic. At times the line was pretty long and the cashiers were taking selfies and texting, while ignoring customers waiting to put in their orders. Very unprofessional.

I'm using this commercial"Forage kitchen" and so far I'm happy with the management and the kitchen. Administrators have very easy access to everything they need and at what time of day they get in touch. The kitchen is very perfect with what you need. I am satisfied with the service.

Wonderful space, awesome beer, great food. Great way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon :)

Awesome location for first Friday events or your wedding! This is a charming cafe vibe and outdoor venue. The site is beautifully curated with lighting, black walnut bar tops, and stunning cot-ten steel planter boxes. You will feel cozy and well cared for by the owners and staff! The food rotates quite frequently, so contact them to see what is available. You won't be disappointed!
