FuseBOX/new restaurant in West Oakland

WEST OAKLAND: FUSEBOX: Has finally opened!  Tucked away between live-work compounds, possibly Oakland's only lumber-mill, outsider artist's animal/animist statuary, chicken-runs and artisans and machinists fabricating everything from exquisite furniture to traditional Japanese joinery kit homes (from street trees processed by the lumber mill) this minimalist beauty box has arrived. 

This place is so good, and doing so many good things at once it's a little hard to believe. 

Check the links below for a full description . As they are Brand-brand new, be sure to call ahead to check the hours/days they are open. Confirmed lunch dates are Thursday and Friday 11:30 to 2:30pm, - Wednesdays added soon as well as morning coffee service. Dinner to come.

Rockridge Neighborhood

Neighborhood Resources

• Chabot Elementary School

• OUSD School-Finder

• Montclarian Rockridge Story

• Rockridge Newsletter

• Rockridge Community Planning Council

Rockridge is Oakland's Premier Shopping and Dining District. College Avenue, the main commercial area of Rockridge, is always alive with people and activity. There is so much to see and do here, it is hard to describe the experience as anything else except 'very satisfying'. College Avenue supplies all your basic needs, like coffee, supermarkets, cleaners, coffee, burgers, pizza, coffee, banks, and did I mention coffee.

Coffeeshops

Yes, there are coffee purveyors on College Avenue (NO STARBUCKS YET! for good or bad). At last count there were probably 8 major coffee houses on College Ave. And there is great debate over which is best. I suggest a simple rotation plan, so as to spread the coffee dollars around evenly and also avoiding getting into a rut.

Dining

Besides a lot of coffee, College Avenue supplies all the food and drink that anyone could want or need. There are more places to eat out than I care to count. Basically, you can find any kind of meal you want. From the fast and inexpensive to the 'you better have a reservation to get in' and everything in between. Some local favorites are; Rocky's Burgers, Purple Pepper Pizza, Garabaldis On College, La Creme De La Creme, Pizza Rustica, Obelisque, Citron, The Rockridge Cafe, Pasta Pomodoro, Cactus Taqueria, Crepevines, Eve's Hunan, Olivetos, Olivetos Cafe, Juiceys, Zachary's Pizza, Barney's Hamburgers, Iso Bune, and The Original Noah's Bagel Shop. Wow, that's a lot of restuarants. You could eat out for the first 30 days you live in Rockridge and never repeat a restuarant. Also available on College Avenue are a number of fine drinking establishments. Again, you can choose from micro brew pubs to the old Irish pub.

Market Hall

For a lot of people, Market Hall represents the life blood of Rockridge. It is located at the main crossroads, College Avenue and the Rockridge BART Station. Besides having 8 of the areas finest specialty food shops, set in an open indoor market, Market Hall is the place to go and meet your friends and neighbors. It's also great for picking up tonight's fresh dinner ingredients on your way home from BART.

Temescal Farmers' Market

Centrally located just blocks from Rockridge BART, Rockridge and Temescal. Open Every Sunday from 9 AM to 1 PM.

Local Parks

Lake Temescal

Lake Temescal is located about a half a mile from College Ave. There are plenty of activities for everyone here, swimming at the sandy beach area, fishing, hiking, biking, 2 play areas for the kids, picnic spots, and lots of clean Oakland air. This is one of Rockridge's hidden jewels.

61st St. Toddler Park

This toddler park is hidden away in a quiet part of lower Rockridge on 61st Street between Colby and Canning. There are great shade trees and plenty of lawn space for a game of tag and a picnic lunch.

Hardy St. Dog Park

A great place to play with your dog and his buddies.

Transportation

BART

There are many choices of public transportation from this home. There is the popular Rockridge BART Station and the Macarthur BART Station, both offer parking and are situated on AC Transit Bus lines. Some local employers offer door to door shuttle service from these BART Station, like Lawerence Berkeley Labs, Alta Bates Hospital, and Kaiser Hospital.

Bicycle Boulevards

Berkeley, CA sports some of the best bicycling amenities anywhere in the U.S. They are called Bicycle Boulevards - and are essentially bicycle priority streets - where thru traffic is diverted from the neighborhood and traffic calming is plenty.

Bus

A.C. Transit has bus service on College Avenue, Broadway, Piedmont Avenue, and Telegraph Avenue just to name a few.

Car

You are close to the freeway (Highway 24, 13 and 580), so travel to all parts of the Bay Area is quick and easy. Downtown Oakland, Jack London Square, Emeryville, and Berkeley are all close and convenient.

Casual Carpooling

There are 2 different pick up points near by for casual carpooling to San Francisco. Carpool riders are dropped off at the Trans Bay Bus Terminal near the Financial District.

North Oakland Neighborhood: 94608

North Oakland Neighborhood

People are keenly interested in making sure their neighborhood has a name. But what about those streets that could be Rockridge or Temescal? Try calling it Baja Rockridge! And those boundaries between the Golden Gate and Santa Fe districts can be hard to define. For those who live between downtown Oakland and Berkeley and just want to avoid the debate, you can just proudly proclaim that you live in North Oakland.

North Oakland is the macro neighborhood name for the northern portion of Oakland, and includes such well-known neighborhoods as Rockridge, Piedmont Avenue, Temescal and Golden Gate. There are some neighborhoods that are so specific, like Idora Park, that the public at large isn’t even aware of them.

Neighborhood Values: Sustainability & Ecclecticism

What is great about using North Oakland is that catches the best of each of those neighborhoods, and all the good stuff that falls in between. North Oakland includes such unique places as green sustainable Nomad Café on Shattuck, the wonderfully eclectic Ace Ellis Hardware on Martin Luther King, and the White Horse Inn on Telegraph, which is the second oldest LGBT bar in the country. And there are street fairs and farmers markets galore!
A great way to keep up with everything going on in North Oakland is to bookmark OaklandNorth.net, a project of the journalism school at UC Berkeley. Their up-to-the-minute coverage often rivals the major dailies, especially on stories of great interest to North Oaklanders.

Great Weather

From its Mediterranean climate, with warm days cooled off by bay breezes, North Oakland is situated perfectly within the Bay Area.

Accessible Location

Not only is it close to Berkeley and Emeryville, but San Francisco is a quick BART ride away. And Highways 580, 80 and 24 point you in the right direction when you need to get out of town. North Oakland is quite flat in most areas, making it very bike-friendly, and there are car-sharing programs when your bike-basket isn’t big enough.
Why not call North Oakland home? Many of us at Lawton Associates do!
