Portal is a place that reflects and celebrates the character and pride of our community. Our daily mission is to be a neighborhood meeting spot that welcomes guests as part of our own extended circle of friends.
From Brunch to Burgers to Brussels Sprouts, there’s something for every taste. But the good times don’t stop in the kitchen — behind our bar, you’ll find one of Oakland’s best selections of beer on tap.
It all starts with creative recipes, fresh, local ingredients, great flavors, and talented chefs & cooks. For us, it’s literally all about the food. (Well, truth be told, our amazing bar team really gets into great brews too!)
About the Top 5 Best Breakfast/Brunch Spots in the 2022 Best of Oakland and the East Bay
Oakland Magazine’s Best of Oakland was born with the idea to give readers in Oakland and throughout the East Bay a chance to voice their opinions on their personal ‘Family Favorite’ choices for Best Breakfast/Brunch Spots and all kinds of everyday categories. The program has evolved over the years, and hopefully, with a lot of input from our readers, we’ve been able to make it better and better.
The voting for Best of Oakland Best Breakfast/Brunch Spots is conducted in a two-round process. The first round occurs in the month of February with open write-in nominations for reader’s favorite Best Breakfast/Brunch Spots taking place. Write-in nominations continue to be open until the middle of April.
As the nomination period for Best Breakfast/Brunch Spots in the first round comes to a close in mid April, shortly after, the second round opens with the top nominee Best Breakfast/Brunch Spots being selectable in this final round of voting during the month of April and May. Write-in nominations are no longer available, and voters are open to select their favorite Best Breakfast/Brunch Spots from among those that are listed.
The final winners are posted in July
We hope you enjoy! And we hope you cast your vote next year!
