"Ain’t Normal could easily be relegated to just a BART-adjacent caffeine pit stop, but it’s anything but a mediocre train station cafe. The Rockridge coffee shop attracts daily lines full of power walkers waiting to get their hands on a cappuccino or cardamom latte. The food is also a league above a standard coffee chain, from the brie-and-capicola baguette sandwiches to the grits topped with a jammy egg. They also have shelves full of fancy beans, coffee paraphernalia, and wine, in case you’re en route to a birthday party empty-handed." - Julia Chen
