Piedmont Avenue is a bustling retail and dining hub sandwiched between Piedmont proper and the adjacent Oakland neighborhood of Temescal.
Rife with coffee shops, dozens of restaurants, bookstores, a movie theater, wine stores, and all sorts of retail shops, it is one of the most interesting and fun destinations in the entire San Francisco Bay area.
Here, you'll find the venerable Baywolf Restaurant, set in a charming, renovated Victorian house, and just up the street, Fenton's Creamery, the world famous retro ice cream parlor featured in the Pixar movie, Up.
Then there's Commis, the "spare, cerebral" restaurant, which was recently awarded a prestigious Michelin Star, and the exquisite old world Italian Cafe Trieste, originally founded in North Beach by "Papa Gianni" in the early 1950's (pictured here).
Choosing a restaurant or coffee shop can be challenging, there's so many of them on this street. However, when it comes to having a drink or two with friends or by yourself, or just hanging out, or enjoying some really delicious bar food, there's really only one option.
