About this Neighborhood

Silver Terrace is a working residential stretch of Oakland where the dining punches above its weight. Its 19 restaurants average an impressive 4.6 on Yelp, and 7 grocery options keep the basics covered. Seven nearby parks add some breathing room, though coffee is thin with just 2 shops. The area's flavor is global and unpretentious, with Vietnamese, dim sum, Mexican, and Chinese restaurants among the popular tastes. Old Skool Cafe, Cake Coquette, and Gumbo Social headline a scene that pulls a remarkable 4.8 Yelp average across nearly 2,900 reviews. It is more about good food close to home than a dense, walk-everywhere vibe.
