Oakland’s Jack London Square:

Formerly the center of Oakland’s port activity, Jack London Square is one of Oakland’s oldest and most energetic neighborhoods. Just walk through the area where wholesale Oakland Produce Market now resides on Franklin between 2nd and 4th streets in the early morning hours! The market has linked rural farms to Oakland grocers for the past century, utilizing the warehouses for storage and selling. Present day, the market has 20 vendors which supply local buyers with hand picked fruit and vegetables each week. Buyers come for the freshest produce–sometimes within 24 hours of being picked from local farms. If you sleep in you will miss the morning activity, but you will enjoy the fresh produce likely served in one of the neighborhood’s fantastic restaurants like The Fat Lady, Forge, or Farmhouse Kitchen!

Jack London Square was formerly the hub of all Oakland’s port activity. Named after the novelist and social activist Jack London, who spent his youth here watching the ships coming through the port. Now one of Oakland’s coveted neighborhoods to live for young professionals, on account of the beautiful views, amazing restaurants, breweries and wineries, and activities like kayaking in the estuary or running along the shoreline. There is a popular Farmer’s Market on Sundays, and many community events like outdoor movies and festivals.

Jack London Square is just a quick walk to downtown Oakland. There is also a ferry which runs to San Francisco, buses and the Bay Area Rapid Transportation (BART) nearby. A free shuttle will take you from the BART stop to the square. 880 is just blocks from The Bond, making your commute a dream!
