My favorite spot for Lunch in Oakland. Being a creature of habit, I tend to order the same thing...but the California turkey salad is so delicious, it's hard to stray! Freshly sliced turkey (a healthy portion) and sliced avocado sits atop freshly chopped romaine and is garnished with crispy tortilla strips. All salads are accompanied by their house toast (essentially a large crouton) and delicious salad dressing (cilantro lime for the California turkey). I've also tried several of their vegan and vegetarian friendly sandwiches and chili (all of which were delicious), but I always end up going back to old faithful, the California Turkey. Red Oak Cafe also offers daily hot blue plate specials, which I have yet to try, but will be at the top of my agenda at the next visit! The service is quick and the dishes are inexpensive, which make it a perfect lunch stop during a busy workday. This is an absolute must try for all of you vegetarians!
