Black Bear Diner

Suites with a full kitchen, next door to a food hall with kid tables and a giant ball pit.

Food hall of about 20 counters, from Peruvian and pizza to sushi and ribs, with child-sized tables, free air hockey and foosball, and an ocean playground nearby.

The whole play area has an ocean theme, with a whale playhouse, kelp climber, snail slide and pretend surfboards.

Swedish meatballs with lingonberry jam in the upstairs restaurant, which has its own play area stuffed with IKEA soft toys, plus the Småland play room.

Emeryville's neighborhood playground with climbing structures, open lawn, and a rec center on site, with Public Market and Powell Street food options minutes away.

A punk-rock diner where the decor alone entertains kids: colorful everything, breakfast all day and a patio with occasional live music. Back since a 2022 closure.
