Victorian storefronts in Old Oakland

One of my favorite cafes in Old Oakland is Cafe 817. Whenever I need to chat, discuss a personal issue, or commiserate about work, I like to invite my dear friends to this warm, inviting coffee shop and surround ourselves with the smell of good coffee and delicious food. The cafe is also displays artwork from local artists. I submitted a few pieces for an exhibit, but was not successful. Maybe one day...
