Daytrip Menu

At Daytrip on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland, the menu is a playful and surprising mix that somehow balances casual comfort with creative flair. From the moment you sit down, you’re tempted by pastries like the muffin, savory scone, and that legendary candy cap cinnamon roll donut, all perfect with a rich drip coffee or cold brew. For brunch vibes, the quiche with a side salad hits just right, while the salads and bowls like the Basil Caesar, Cilantro Lime Crunch, Club Med, and The Crispy Spicy offer refreshing, textural layers that keep every bite interesting. Moving beyond greens, sides such as umami egg, Caesar fries, brothy gigante beans, sesame cauliflower, and hot honey butter green beans feel both indulgent and well‑balanced, enhanced by extra sauces like schmaltz and three‑herb pesto that make for great dipping and layering.

At dinner, the menu steps up with hot focaccia and celery salad, cold‑smoked salmon crudo, nixtamalized yams and maitake, and rich fried pork rillettes that showcase a bolder, more adventurous side. Desserts like the black sesame coconut cookie and Straus soft serve provide a sweet finish that’s hard to resist. Drinks range from chilled white, orange, and red wines to non‑alcoholic house‑made salted honey limeade and soft drinks, making it easy to pair sips with your food. With combo meals rounding things out and unique options like canned & bottled beer alongside fermented extras like Red Gem escabeche with sunflower seed chili crunch or fermented dooboo & black garlic avocado, this menu is confidently eclectic, endlessly fun, and deeply satisfying from start to finish.
