Oakland: Cafe Gabriela
One of my favorite lunch places in downtown Oakland is just far enough from my office to be slightly inconvenient for a lunch hour run. This means that I seize the chance whenever I'm already in the area around noon to go to Cafe Gabriela:
There's not much space inside in terms of seating, but most people order to go:
What I love to get at Cafe Gabriela is their pulled pork adobo sandwich and their arugula and spring mix salad. For the best of both worlds, I always order the half sandwich, half salad combo ($8.25):
The pulled pork is juicy and flavorful with that Filipino flair while the salad has this bright and lemony dressing that is oh-so-good. And what a great deal for less than $10! Service is friendly and quick and everything that you'd want in a good work lunch spot.
If our office was just two blocks closer, I would be at Cafe Gabriela more days in a week than my wallet would probably allow.
