Hipster shabby chic is the call at this Temescal hive for busy workers. A large sign of lights spelling Oakland on the wall overlooks a slew of long wooden tables bearing mismatched chairs, and a massive chalkboard backdrop detailing the menu enhances the classroom aesthetics. Don’t expect to indulge in ergonomic pampering inside this brick building, but do expect to get your research done surrounded by plenty of open space and lookout windows from 8am to 7pm.

Also a beginner gardener by day/performing songwriter by night, she feels grateful to live a life of extremes balancing plenty of contemplative silence with rocking out in a band. When not writing, she keeps her hands busy (and dirty) with old guitar strings and soil, and enjoys engaging with the Bay Area’s diverse environmental and cultural beauty. She loves puns to a fault and shamelessly laughs at her own jokes.
