About Daytrip

Let me introduce you to Daytrip, a neighborhood restaurant that feels instantly comfortable while still doing something thoughtful with food and drink. Located at 4316 Telegraph Ave in Oakland, this spot has the kind of easygoing energy that makes you want to settle in, whether you’re stopping by for a casual lunch or easing into the evening with friends. The space balances a relaxed, modern look with a warm, welcoming feel, and the outdoor seating adds a laid-back California touch that works perfectly on sunny afternoons. What really stands out at Daytrip is how the menu speaks to a wide range of tastes without feeling scattered. You’ll find carefully prepared organic dishes alongside fresh salads and a well-loved salad bar, making it a great choice for anyone leaning toward vegan or vegetarian options, while still keeping things satisfying for every type of diner. Drinks are treated with just as much care, with a selection that includes craft beer, thoughtful cocktails, wine, and even coffee if you’re keeping it low-key. Service options are flexible and clearly designed for real life, so you can dine in and enjoy the atmosphere, grab takeaway on the go, or opt for delivery and no-contact delivery when convenience matters most. I like how it manages to feel polished without being pretentious, and familiar without being boring, which is not an easy balance to strike. It’s the kind of restaurant you recommend to out-of-town friends but also keep in your own regular rotation, because it works just as well for a spontaneous weekday meal as it does for a longer, more social hang. The atmosphere encourages conversation, the staff keep things friendly and efficient, and the overall flow makes it easy to pop in or linger longer, depending on your mood. From the thoughtful drink list to the flexible service style, Daytrip feels designed around how people actually eat, meet, and relax in Oakland.

A shame this place is going - I only got to try it once! The celery salad they are known for is indeed, delicious and wonderfully prepared with the right balance of bitter and creamy in each bite. The brussels sprouts had a perfect roast, but both the hummus and the labne balls on that plate were lackluster. I quite liked the Brentwood corn and summer bean side, which popped with fresh green herb flavor from the zhoug and green onion. The egg yolk foam was not that interesting on it, however--I think I just expected something more exciting to meld the ingredients together. The foccacia absolutely MUST reappear on their new menu after they redesign their format. It had such a perfect crunch to soft, fluffy interior ratio, like an ideal bread, really. I will end by complimenting the wine and liquor sourcing as well! I fell in love with the Mukai Shuzo Ine Mankai Red Rice Sake while there, so I found it online to buy two bottles! It's a sake that reminded me of beaujolais nouveau, fresh and full of promise. I'm having a bottle with my Thanksgiving dinner. Cheers to Daytrip in their next iteration! I'll look forward to what they come up with.

Such a gem in Oakland! Cute back patio with heaters. And you can bring your well behaved dog! Great staff and service. Everything was delicious. Must get hot focaccia, celery salad and the fried chicken! They have selection of natural wines but you have bring your own for corkage $25. So delicious!

We love this spot. It's our go-to for celebration dinners. The menu is an adventure - just enough choices to make it fun. The food is delicious - maybe even outstanding! The plates are for sharing - though that's hard because you want each plate all to yourself. New items show up seasonally but favs like the focaccia and the celery salad are always on the menu. The service is always great - friendly, attentive and efficient. The space is cozy and might get loud if it's full but generally chill vibe. We'll be back!
