Jack London Mail

Categories: Notaries, Shipping Centers

1/6/2012

I go here for all my notarized mail and big packages. The employees are friendly, but not too over the top - bottom line, they just know their mail, and get the job done for you.

So glad that this place exists in JLS!

Picked up my heels from Joe, a 3rd (!) generation cobbler. $8 to re-heel my best black pumps, they buffed and polished these beauties to a tee. The store is a modest unit in the gulf gate strip mall, but you can tell this guy knows his stuff!

I wish the cat section was a liiiiittle bigger, but the store clerk's friendliness made up for it. This is a great place to go for high end doggie gifts (e.g. dog perfume?!) and some pet food if you don't want to make the trek to Emeryville. More expensive than big pet stores, but it's independently run and the only walking-distance option for JLS locals.

Haven

Category: American (New)
Neighborhood: Jack London Square

My opening-night experience at Haven was seamless. Great food, custom cocktails, hip music, and simply phenomenal service. Shoutout to Brian for the round of free prosecco that kicked off another fantastic dinner in the JLS hood.

My favorites all had very rich, wintry flavors:
- smoked pasta starter
- bone marrow starter
- shepard's pie entree (pork belly!)
- scallops entree
- side of bread (don't judge me until you try it)

No, it's not cheap. But I'll gladly pay a premium for the level of service we received. The servers, bartenders, and hosts were all so friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to please - I feel like I'm already a regular on first-name basis.

I can't wait to come back and get the "Let Us Cook For You." It's like the family-style omakase of californian cuisine. How cool is that?!

Top notch service department. Rusty is very polite and tries hard to accommodate your needs/issues. I usually bring my laptop so I can get a little work done in the waiting room (they have free wifi, along with a giant flat screen). 1.5 hours and a few signatures later, my car is washed and ready to go!

Chop Bar

Best burger in Jack London Square, maybe Oakland proper. Consistently solid service, great beers on tap, and fair prices, given that they use Acme bread and other high quality ingredients. Only item that could use work is their pickled vegetables - but since I do my own pickling, I'm probably extra picky (pickley?).

Chop Bar = solid.

Yes, the sandwiches are pretty mind-blowing. I only wish they weren't 1,000 calories a pop!

But alas, I'll be back - the sandwiches (even the tofu version) are hearty enough to make an entire meal. Add on strawberry shortcake if you are especially famished/hungover. You'll be full all day long.

THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT TAILORS. They may do custom clothing, but do not go to them for tailoring or alterations. They actually outsource their tailoring, so it ends up being more expensive and takes longer.

Also, the customer service is just miserable. This is really where they earned the one-star rating... After several unreturned calls and voicemails, I finally went to the store to learned that they had "misplaced" my clothes. I left empty handed.

I am completely surprised at their high ratings and, needless to say, will not be a repeat customer.

Sierra Deli & Market

Category: Delis

10/17/2011

Sierra Deli, the neighborhood deli with character. Love their sandwiches (dutch crunch, bahn mi, etc.) and the prices are right. Their selection of groceries (beer, butter, milk, etc) has saved me on more than one occasion.

I only wish they could extend their hours... It's not as convenient if it closes at 8 on most days and all day sunday. :(
