There's lots of threads about different Green Day places to visit around though if you want more info Yeah I did my research a little bit. I think I'm sticking up to Rudy's and Studio 880 at Jingletown ahah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it's a restaurant like you need to eat absolutely? You can just have a coffee or buy merch. Whether or not it's worth visiting depends on what you want to see. This is a rough guide of how to spend a day in Oakland depending on what interests you. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 12 days trip in California will be cool but we're only one day in Oakland (this part of the trip is for me 😂) So I want to see as much stuff about Green Day as I can. We ate at Rudy’s both days this past weekend because we stayed nearby. Friendly service, great breakfast and t-shirts (and yes Oakland Coffee). At the block party they had a tent and were giving away bags and pods of the stuff as well as merch like hats and bags. I brought a box of pods home to use for guests (not a coffee drinker myself). I asked them when they will start selling tea 😄 You can still see Jingletown but it’s been sold and the building is behind a fence anyway and there’s not much to see. It’s also in a janky part of town so we skipped it on our tour. I posted a ton of photos from the tour we just took this weekend to my IG you’re welcome to see and also ask any questions about locations and logistics that you want. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I SOOOO want them to start selling tea. I'd sign back up for Prime just to have an auto-shipment of tea (assuming it meets my tea standards). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should let them know you want it too. Maybe the more people who ask for it who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe there is an Oakland Coffee shop, it's just a coffee company that sells online and out of other shops. There's a list of shops that sell the coffee on the Oakland Coffee website, I see it says you can buy it at Rudy's: https://oaklandcoffee.com/where-to-buy/ Oh okay it all makes sense now I'm definitely gonna go to Rudy's then for sure and check it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'd actually recommend Jingletown and Studio 880 to anyone interested in the albums recorded there. It is a dodgy area, but it's surreal to be there and peer through the fence at the parking lot. There's also a small store nearby which actually says "Jingletown" and is featured in Cuatro. The only downside (other than, well, feeling like you have to get out ASAP) is that it's quite far out so if you're on public transport it takes up a lot of the day. So just depends on whether you'd rather take out the time to do that or cram in lots of other things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montclare Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I felt fine in the neighborhood, but yeah, it is far from the train station, and the only other GD thing in the area is the station on East 12th street, which is also a long walk from there. Although my favorite thing was probably that it's right on 27th St, which made me think of 27th St Shuffle. Guessing this is the store you were talking about @solongfromthestars? It's on the same block as 880. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofygoldfish Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Ditto to heading to studio 880, I loved peeking through the fence. You can also see where their names have been scratched from the mailbox, the basketball hoop from cuatro, and the jingletown store as others have mentioned. It's not far from there to the facility on E12 St too. Similarly to others, I have a list I can share if you're interested. Although @solongfromthestars smashed it with her account of her tour! We did 11 days, so you'd have to ruthless to narrow it down to your 1 day, you'll be able to cram lots in if you are careful. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the same block as 880. That's the one. This is the scene it's in (around 0:22) I forgot about 27th Ave. Good call! I know there's a 27th Ave in San Francisco and that fits with the "Golden Gate is falling from behind" line. I think the song probably refers to the one in Oakland with the studio being there, though. Since it's been mentioned, I won't pass up on the opportunity to plug my project https://www.mariagloriaharvey.com/welcome-to-paradise 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything’s great. I had the Monte Cristo one time and there’s a brunch menu on weekends and they did a great eggs Benedict with spinach. My friends love the pancakes too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the second order now with the same response which is why I'm getting really annoyed. It shows on my card as a pending charge for both orders. They did say I could cancel if I like. What I would like is my stuff. It didn't list either item as sold out or backordered or anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would keep contacting them asking for an eta of when the items will be in stock and say that you weren’t notified at checkout that your items were out of stock or backordered.

I pre-ordered coffee & shirt combo for release on the 17th - did say it would take at least 6 weeks - that's quick for us here😂 Previously Ive ordered from Warner & it takes about the same & you get no tracking advice. Its pretty shit but mine did come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
