The Golden Bull

A couple of days ago, a co-worker of Shalene Rose (our realtor and my lovely fiancé) pointed us in the direction of a possible space for the Awaken Cafe. We had reached a stand still in the negotiations on the first space we had made an offer on. We had looked at a few other spaces and then this space came to our attention. Kari and I have both been over to view it and to meet with the owner. Like us, he is committed to transforming downtown Oakland and has already said no to a few other potential tenants because their businesses didn't fit with his vision for a vital and vibrant Oakland. We hit it off right away!
The size is right, the price is right, the location is right (14th and Broadway), and it used to be a restaurant and a bar called the Golden Bull (which means it has many of the correct permits already attached to it and the gas, water, and electric infrastructure we need). It's perfect! Stay tuned.
