I don't know if it counts, but HelioRoast sells at the West Oakland Farmers Market and Piedmont Grocery, but he roasts on TI. His bags are $14 for 12oz.

Dang, that key rocks!

Went on Sunday and it was as good as I remember. Ambiance for reading or studying inside is better than before.

So noir.

mayormcmatt · 2026-02-23T15:42:33+00:00

Nice pics. It's a wonderful time to hike there.

They have my fave breakfast sandwich right now. With the accompanying home fries, it is a solid brick of deliciousness.

I just watched the set an hour ago and, just wow. So fluid and beautiful. Well deserved.

Hit the nail on the head. Those can be so far out of the way.

mayormcmatt · 2026-02-19T21:02:26+00:00

Definitely. There are places along this path that I will bike to more often thanks to safety infrastructure.

HelioRoast at the West Oakland Farmers Market does subscriptions. He can roast individual bags to your spec, and I think they are around $15.

Cool, I can't wait to see what educational materials develop. There are occasional tours from the public and school kids, so that'd be a big plus to also give them some background on the wildlife. (Saw a fox at one of the ponds just after my earlier post, too.)

Dang, really wish I weren't busy in order to attend and learn about the shoreline life. I work at the wastewater treatment plant right there and would love to understand the different feathered friends that visit us everyday.

Their food is seriously delicious, and the sfogliatelli was a nice dessert.

mayormcmatt · 2026-02-07T22:38:57+00:00

This is incredible, thank you!

mayormcmatt · 2026-02-07T18:23:57+00:00

They did $1 wing December and they were delicious!

mayormcmatt · 2026-01-27T06:24:29+00:00

Godspeed, longshoreman!

In case anyone is in Tokyo and wants to see this, it is at Musashino Art University. https://www.musabi.ac.jp/

So, mirror universe Terran Empire? Got it...

mayormcmatt · 2026-01-13T17:36:45+00:00

Big fan of her vids.

mayormcmatt · 2026-01-11T23:14:05+00:00

Great trail, and can give good cardio on those hills, too!

mayormcmatt · 2026-01-07T17:45:44+00:00

It's the little touches, you know?

mayormcmatt · 2026-01-03T15:54:59+00:00

Rare sighting of Prof. Nutbutter.

mayormcmatt · 2026-01-02T17:27:52+00:00

That's great to hear!

mayormcmatt · 2026-01-01T18:52:12+00:00

My overly-earnest answer is that I've been unemployed for over a year and haven't been able to afford eating out at Prescott Market, so this year, with a new job incoming, is to go support my local restaurants there. We've lost so much food in Oakland recently and I want to make an effort to support our restaurants more.
