My favorite place while visiting Oakland! Location has plenty of parking around but I did see and hear of some break ins so hide valuables! Beer selections made you want to try all of them! The flight of beers was a great idea! Plenty of places to sit and hangout. The upstairs section was my favorite!

"I will make it my mission to visit a Blue Bottle if I know there is one in the area. It is my favorite coffee on the PLANET. I am a huge New Orleans Style fan and will buy it in the grocery store if I can find that little cute milk carton."

"Great options with decent size portions, with a creative cocktail list. Fun cozy setting, I noticed awesome murals that went in tune with the awesome music playing. Definitely going back to try out more on the menu. The juice is a must have, fresh and sealed in their own bottles. A VEGAN delight"

The hand-pulled noodles where thiiiiick and the flavor was definitely in every bite. We were seated pretty quickly even though it was a busy Tuesday night. Our order was taken pretty fast and the food came out within a few minutes. They had vinegar, soy sauce, and chilli oil at the table. You wont be disappointed.

"If you are a beer enthusiast or no nothing about beer but need the best place to hangout outdoors, then look no further cause The Trappist is the best. The service has always been on point and friendliest. No snobbery here for the quality they provide. Due to covid they also have food around. Love this spot. Cheers!"
