As someone who grew up Sicilian with my Nanu (grandfather) cooking traditional meals, I can…read morehonestly say Caffe Paradiso captured that same authenticity. The flavors were identical to what I grew up with--simple, rich, and full of love. I finally had the honor of trying it for the first time this past May on my birthday, and it instantly felt like home. Walking past recently and seeing the restaurant completely cleaned out was heartbreaking. I truly hope the owners are doing well, because what they created was something special. If they ever decide to reopen--especially in downtown Brentwood--they would absolutely thrive. People that come to downtown Brentwood appreciate authentic, high-quality food, and at the value Caffe Paradiso offered, they would have completely crushed it. Thank you, Caffe Paradiso, for giving me one unforgettable meal that brought me right back to my roots. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that this isn't the end, but just a pause before an incredible comeback.

Tucked away in the heart of Brentwood, Caffe Paradiso is a small spot that delivers a big bite of…read moreflavor. Whether you're out shopping or catching a movie next door, this charming café is a must-visit. The indoor seating is cozy, but their outdoor patio is perfect for larger groups and makes for a great hangout spot. What truly elevates the experience is the warm, attentive service from the owners -- you can tell they care about every guest who walks through their door. We tried their Spaghetti with Meatballs and Pasta Bolognese, and honestly, both were incredible. Their house-made sauce is rich, savory, and absolutely to die for -- it tasted like a meal straight from an Italian grandmother's kitchen. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese brought everything together beautifully. The meatballs? Tender, flavorful, and easily some of the best we've had. It was so good my daughter almost ordered another plate just to take home -- and honestly, I don't blame her. The Bolognese was perfectly balanced, with every bite delivering layers of flavor. With a solid menu and rotating specials, Caffe Paradiso is the kind of place you'll find yourself craving. Brentwood is lucky to have it. Highly recommend -- come hungry.

If you're looking for great lumpia for a decent price, contact EdithJanes Creations!…read more So far, I've tried the macarons, and some frozen lumpia. This was through a deal EdithJanes Creations was having and first of all, the price was right! The deal was very affordable. The response to ordering was quick. I did have to order about 2 weeks ahead, which was understandable since my order was customizable. The macarons were good, and they looked perfect. I definitely would want to try more flavors. I went with flavors I thought sounded cool, but I definitely want to try the most popular flavors. The lumpia was amazing. It was really easy to cook as you can just pop them out of the freezer whenever you want, and then fry them up in a few minutes. I can't wait to try the shrimp lumpia!

Okay, now this is a one-stop shop if you love Lumpia and Macarons…read more You can never go wrong with Lumpias, but the way Edith makes hers is like no other. The chicken or shrimp is my favorite. The seasoning is just so perfect. I swear I try to figure out her recipe while eating them, Lol... Oh, and I,ve become the hugest fan of macarons now. I just love Edith's macarons. They are probably my favorite dessert of all time! For those who've never been to France, this is the closest you'll get! The deliciousness in every bite makes you not be able to eat only one. The sensational taste from the shell to the cream is so heavenly light and very fresh. Oh, and the little packaging just warms my heart. Now her Ragoons! We're not even going to get on how she uses real crab meat in them. You must order from Edith for your next party and/or family function.

The service was good and our server was helpful and friendly. For appetizers, ordered salt & Pepper calamari and chicken wings. The Salt & Pepper chicken wings had a nice crunch, and the meat very tender. I would order this again. The calamari was too little chewy. I wish it was more tender to the bite. My sliced pork, grilled shrimp and vermicelli was very tasty. Some of the pork was over cooked, but still flavorful. I loved the char flavor on the shrimp and pork. The lemongrass chicken and vermicelli was flavorful and delicious. Overall, we enjoyed our experience at CreAsian and will most likely revisit in the near future.

This employee was truly rude, I asked to use the restroom, his words were "it's not available because it's cleaning" I wasn't sure how that stopped a paying customer from using the restroom. But sounds good, his approach was truly not welcoming he was on his headphone, speaking low, and seems as if he didn't want to be at work. Anyways, I filled my tank up and left. It wasn't a welcoming experience. I wouldn't recommend this location based on what I witnessed.

1050 Laurel Rd Oakley, CA 94561…read more This is the Chevron/ 7-11 gas station at Laurel Rd & O'Hara Ave in Oakley, CA. I was here on a Friday evening to get gas, use the restroom, and grab a cold drink. As I approached the station on O'Hara Ave, I noticed the narrow driveway with raised stone curbs. These type of narrow driveways are annoying. They force you to slow down and nearly stop to make sure you don't hit the curbs.* The other driveway on Laurel Rd is wider. * (FYI: Hitting raised curbs is bad for your car. It can damage your alignment). This Chevron station is spacious with three islands. The gas prices are above average for the SF Bay Area. The food mart is a 7-Eleven with all the branded goodies you can expect. Lots of hot foods and "grab and go" foods. The weird thing is, they kind of hide the restrooms behind floor displays. As I walked in, the restrooms were not plainly visible. A worker had to point twice to explain I had to go behind a display. I got a large Slurpee for $2.49. The cashier was very nice. They keep the straws at the checkout. Overall, a fair experience and I would return. FYI: They're building a carwash next door (July 2024).
