Route
The Chocolate Dragon
Light fare & baked goods accompany hot cocoa, coffee roasted in-house & chocolate bars made on-site.
The Burrito Shop
A hidden gem in the heart of Rockridge, the Burrito Shop blends the love of traditional Mexican-style preparation with the choice of a variety of authentic flavors. A local favorite.
A-16
Considered by many as one of the best pizzas in America. There aren’t many spots outside of Italy to find fried pizza, making their Montanara pizza a must-try Californian food.
Marica
A delightful & stylish dining destination located in the Rockridge district. Chef Christoper Cheung carefully selects and uses only the freshest seafood for his specialties, that reflect exciting seasonal menu changes.
Market Hall
A marketplace for curious eaters and cornerstone of the neighborhood. With its collection of eight owner-operated shops, each expert in their crafts, this is the perfect place to enjoy many varieties of high end food.
Crepevine
Family owned local chain specializing in delicious sweet & savory crepes in a relaxing and laid back setting, giving off a very “California-esque” vibe.
Practicalities
- Afternoon is best for families or less crowds.
- Evening is best for people watching and more activity.
- Be hungry for the tour, as there are many good, inexpensive options on the way to fill you up

Uptaste
What is Uptaste? We’re something like a travel agency business (although we don’t sell flights or hotels). Instead, we specialise in finding the right place to eat, wherever and whenever you are, using location intelligence combined with expert and community curation. Uptaste destinations will rarely be restaurants; they’ll be shops, they’ll be street traders, they’ll be local markets, or some other easy-to-miss but hard-to-forget place.
