Long gone are the days when Oakland was considered San Francisco’s less glamorous, sketchy stepsister, and nowhere is the California city’s new life more apparent than in the Temescal neighborhood, just east of Telegraph Avenue. Among its residential streets, one alleyway has emerged as a hotbed of creativity and development. Once lined with stables for the horses that pulled the town’s trolleys, it’s now home to independent shops, restaurants, and artists’ spaces. Temescal is the ideal place to escape the San Francisco fog and spend an afternoon browsing, grabbing a bite, and sipping coffee under a bright-blue East Bay sky.
