The Gastropig
Oakland, California
Tucked away in a quiet street corner, The Gastropig is a small, casual neighborhood eatery that embodies the charm and spirit of Oakland’s burgeoning Uptown neighborhood. With an emphasis on friendly service, pork-centric breakfast sandwiches, and quality salads, the cafe draws long lines of customers every day. Patrons can grab ready-made drinks and pre-made food from the deli, or they can gather in the open seating area on communal tables and watch the activity in the kitchen, contributing to the cafe’s palpable buzz.
