Neighborhood
Rockridge
At the foot of the Oakland Hills, Rockridge is a lovely burby-like haven where Cal Berkeley grads come to live when they exit their 20s and start yearning for historic cottages, nice gardens, and a 99 walk score. Twitterites and techies who have newly flown the coop are lucky to nab a place to live in this desirable hub. Even so, all ages come to explore this model main street where two indie bookstores thrive (Pegasus;and Diesel). Extreme shoppers, and companions of extreme shoppers, be warned: walking Rockridge will easily swallow an afternoon. There are home goods (Maison D’Etre) to baked goods (Market Hall;Bakery), vintage (Pretty Penny,;Lost & Found) to eco (Atomic Garden), jewels (Pavé) to shoes (Tootsies). A break for sustenance is always a storefront away with a dozen new eateries in 2013 alone, including;Ramen Shop;and;A16 Rockridge. Oldies but goodies are;Wood Tavern,;Á Côté;and;Dreyer’s Ice Cream Parlor, where the flavor Rocky Road was invented.
