"Right across from the Rockridge BART station is Ain’t Normal, a cafe that’s ideal for a pre- or post-commute caffeine injection. But the sandwiches are why you’ll want to miss your train on purpose. Piles of golden brown baguettes filled with salami or capicola and brie are stacked in the pastry case, and they also have seasonal specials like a BLT on fluffy pain de mie. Stick around—the outdoor seating set-up is the perfect backdrop for a leisurely midday catch-up." - Julia Chen, Lani Conway
