I'm sitting at Pizzaiolo Restourant in the Temescal area of Oakland, CA having a homemade donut and a cup and a latte. What a treat! The place opens for a light breakfast at 8:00AM, but I got here at 7:45AM and they let me get seated and comfortable, which was kind. Some places make you wait at the door until the second it opens. I love Pizzaiolo, at night they are busting with outstanding pizza and it was a fun discovery to learn they are open in the morning too.
I am a donut snob since I grew up in MIchigan going to the cider mills and having fresh, just cooked, warm donuts with cold apple cider. The donut I am having today is the best one I've ever tasted.
I love the atmosphere here, it immediately takes me away as if I'm on vacation. There are rustic wood tables, chair, and floor. The wall near me has a combination of brick, wainscoting, and other materials of different textures. There is a wood bar with bungalow worthy lighting and wainscoting under the bar. There is Italian music playing in the background, and I am looking out on Telegraph Avenue through large windows. It is heavenly here!
