Fabulous bakery with morning pastries, breads, olives, cheeses and vegetarian pizza daily. Make a mean cappucino too. Worker-owned it's got a good vibe.

The best Cambodian food around. Eat in or take out. My faves: barbeque chicken, eggplant with shrimp and pork, green beans with tofu. Good prices. Sob!! The 8th St. location closed after 30 years. But fear not, you may still find them in the Laurel District in Oakland, and in the City of Alameda (take the webster tube.) Not as convenient perhaps but the foods still the same. And they do take out. Alameda Location:

Sister restaurant of Phnpm Penh in Alameda (formerly in Oakland Chinatown.) Incredible Cambodian food. Straight shot down 580 Freeway to MacArthur, order take out and go get it. Or maybe you can pick it up on the way home from work, depending where you are coming from. Don't know if they deliver.
