"One of Red Bay Coffee’s most unique drinks - the vanilla charcoal latte - is a must-order. It’s creamy, slightly sweet, and delicious hot or iced. Their regular iced latte and Vietnamese iced coffee are also excellent if you need a caffeine boost before your third power-walk around the lake. You can walk up to order from their van (usually parked around Lake Merritt), their coffee box on Broadway, or their spacious Fruitvale roastery." - julia chen 1, lani conway
