Our next #ThinkOaklandFirst holiday shopping guide, curated by another of The Town's community leaders, brings you to Fruitvale and beyond! 🎁 ⁠ Here are Aliza Gallo's, Oakland business owner and resident of 42 years who has served the community for 28 years, top Oakland gift suggestions:⁠ ⁠ 🎁 "@cafesantana and @redbaycoffee. They have great gifts and Oakland-based coffee treats. The Lavender Latte at Café Santana and Charcoal Latte at Red Bay Fruitvale are the best!"⁠ ⁠ 🎁 "@beastoakland for Oakland clothing. It has a unique style, and I give their gear as presents. They're always a hit!"⁠ ⁠ 🎁 "@e14gallery in Old Oakland. They have a variety of unique artisan gifts made by Oakland indigenous and people of color.⁠ ⁠ 🎁 "Oakland restaurant gift certificates are fun to give for gifts like from @wahpepahskitchen or @laperlapuertoricancuisine."⁠ ⁠ One of her favorite Oakland seasonal experiences includes making tamales with family and friends with ingredients from Fruitvale markets.⁠ ⁠ Stay tuned and see our link in bio for more Oakland gift guides!⁠ ⁠ 📸: @redbaycoffee⁠ 📸: ⁠@cafesantana⁠ 📸: @beastoakland⁠ 📸: @laperlapuertoricancuisine⁠ and @hellacoastal 📸: @shomari7382 @dancehustle at @e14gallery 📸: The Fruitvale Railroad Bridge by @nodal__barron⁠ ⁠ #shoplocal #oakland #oaklandloveit #visitoakland #bayareabusiness #eastbay #sfbayarea #visitcalifornia #Latinxowned #Blackowned #oaklandlove
