Day of the Dead Cafe

3208 Grand Ave.
Oakland, CA 94610
510-325-3113
Oakland-Grand Lake

Cute neighborhood coffee joint next door to the Grand Lake theater with Dia de Los Muertos-themed decor and a menu serving hot dogs and sandwiches in addition to typical coffee shop fare like pastries, drip coffee, and espresso drinks. This isn't a get-in, get-out morning pit-stop kind of place, but rather one that invites and encourages patrons to stay awhile. Don't miss Smokey, the beloved and knowledgeable proprietor.

Hours: Sun.-Mon. 10 a.m.-8 p.m.

Tags: Coffeehouses, Burgers/Sandwiches
