Homeroom

An escape-room-style puzzle venue good for older kids.

Classes for children and family performances where nobody minds if your kid dances badly at the front. Worth checking the calendar rather than turning up.

A taqueria with drive-through, indoor and outdoor seating, and easy online ordering for pickup.

A pancake-focused cafe that keeps kids busy with a shared stack of coloring books.

A popular bagel shop with a second Berkeley factory location worth trying the bialy at.

Paint-your-own pottery with drop-in studio time, so you do not have to commit to a class or a date. A reliable rainy afternoon.
