"I'm on my way walking along Lakeshore Ave, headed to the Top Dog further down Lakeshore , walking with my "OG" Oakland guide. He sees this Cafe Lakeview and recalls the "old days" like 60 years..."

"TL;DR: Wi-Fi, outlets, seating. Easygoing atmosphere and yummy drinks. Open early and closes later than most cafes. AMBIANCE Merritt Station Cafe is in a beautiful little spot near the lake...."

"Great Cuban sandwich. Extremely friendly and helpful service. Comfortable seating. I'll be back."
