You pretty much have to drag me to Oakland for a meeting or social engagement... But one things for sure, I do not go willingly. Between the mess of parking and millennial students, this old lady can't handle it!
But let me tell you, my special treat to cheer me up will always be a stop at Redhawk. I stopped in for the first time recently and was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar face behind the espresso bar. It was one of my fave barista's from espresso a mano in Lawrenceville. Come to find out, he owns Redhawk! This makes me so happy to see genuinely passionate people fulfilling their dreams and creating a successful business!
Aside from that, kudos for also making their own chai concentrate. I really hate a lot of the boxed brand chai, as most of them are too sweet. This one was the perfect blend of spicy with a little sweetness.
This will now always be my treat when in Oakland, that will make me happy after fighting for parking at least!
