A few months ago, we told you about a mac and cheese restaurant called Homeroom opening its doors in Oakland. Finally, after passing by several times and seeing lines out the door, this intrepid writer jumped in with an open mind and need for some great comfort food.
The restaurant is on the smaller side, with a large communal table in the center of the space and outdoor seating as well. They don’t take reservations, which can lead to a bit of a wait, but have no fear, you can grab a beer, wine or maybe even some of their homemade root beer while you wait.
However, the menu doesn’t stop with mac and cheese. There are numerous options for the sweet tooth on the dessert menu, from homemade oreos and brownies to peanut butter pie. That along with the Little Mac (smaller, milder portion) make Homeroom a very kid-friendly restaurant.
As comfort food goes, mac and cheese would top my list on most days. And with plenty of options available, owners Allison and Erin have a surefire winner on their hands. Open for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, if you enjoy mac and cheese, Homeroom is a spot to try in Oakland.
