This youth-run eatery is more than just an average restaurant. Old Skool Cafe is a youth program that teaches Bay Area teens valuable skills in the restaurant management business. The cafe has a 1940s swanky lounge feel, with live jazz performances put on by the teen staff and local youth. The incredible cuisine is soul food served tapas style, all prepared from scratch. Don't be fooled by the young staff, the service and cuisine are on par with any four-star restaurant! Be sure to make reservations, this popular restaurant is open only a few days a week and fills up fast.
