Paul’s 4-star review: Convenient because it's so close to my house and right next to Walmart and Starbucks (across the street). Fries are always good whenever I come here. Drivet-tru is usually packed, so I've always just gone inside. When there's a lot of people inside, the wait can take awhile, say about 10 minutes. Try the Pink Lemonade with 7-Up! -
Paul’s 3-star review: I come here since it's the closest boba place near my house. They have a few tables and seats inside and a couch with a TV. I usually just get a Bubble Milk Tea with Small Boba and every time it's been good and fine. Bring cash if you're not buying much though, since there's a service charge for credit cards if your order is like less than $10, I think. Area is small and there's usually some people always there. I think they either work there or know the people who work there. I'm not sure what it is but I never like just sitting here to drink and chill. I feel out of place or feel unwanted, even though the people there are usually friendly and doing their own thing. Overall, the drinks are okay and good if you're here to just to pick up some drinks and go. -
Paul’s 4-star review: Great place to run and jog. The loop is a mile long. The south-most path is 1.5 miles one way, so a good 3 miles if you go round trip. A lot of people bring their dogs here so watch out for dog droppings on the path since a lot of people don't pick up after their dogs. There are also free disposable bags near the beginning of the mile loop but I don't see anyone taking them. There are also a lot of squirrels too but they're all pretty friendly. There are a bunch of obstacles around the mile loop. My favorite are the pullup bars before the 0.5 mile mark, the pushups and leg raises before the 0.75 mile mark, and the bars just after the 0.75 mile mark where it's supposed to be used to walk across with your arms but I just use it for dips. The people here are all really friendly. I try to come here at least every other day, either in the morning or at night, and I start recognizing a lot of people. I try saying hi or nod to them when I pass by and they all mostly reply back too. This place is a great place to run since you're always running near water for both paths. It is the bay, so the wind here can get pretty strong and chilly. Coming here at sunset is also pretty nice since you can see the sun setting over San Francisco, which you can see from across the bay. You also see a lot of planes passing by since it's really close to Oakley Airport. -
Paul’s 5-star review: Came here for a smog test on a Monday morning. I thought they opened at 8AM, so I got there around 7:45AM. I was the first one there because I found that they opened their garage for smog tests at 8:30AM. I waited and one other car came around 8:25AM also for a smog test and one other car came for some other car work. Inside there's a small waiting area with 3 seats where you can wait for your car. There's a small tv but it's facing toward the inside of the store, so bring a book or something to do inside while you wait. The guy who helped me was really nice and spoke English well, despite what other people's reviews say. My Civic's smog check was $29.95 but I heard other cars can be $39.95. Certificate for the smog check is $8.25. You have to pay for the smog check, whether your car passes or fails the test. I had my car in less than an hour after they opened. Overall, it's a great place to get a smog check, as long as you bring something to do while you wait. -
Paul’s 4-star review: This is my first real gym I've signed up for, besides the Gym I signed up for while I was in college at UCB. I signed up for a bi-weekly plan, which is $9.99 every 2 weeks. Though, I saw in the fine print that there was an annual fee of $29.99 every year on the same date. I come here usually after work around 7:30PM to 9:30PM. Weekdays are always busy but never too busy that I have to be waiting. There's usually always weights / machines / treadmills / ellipticals free that I don't have to wait. I come here on Saturday nights too and it's usually really empty. I sometimes come here Monday mornings around 10AM to 12PM and there's a bunch of people here for the treadmills / ellipticals but not as much as at night. The treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, and stairs all have TV's you can see. They usually play a sports channel, a music video channel, and maybe a TV show. Weekdays they close at 11PM and on Weekends they close at 9PM. They have a pool, though I haven't swam here yet. There's also an area you can drop your kids while you work out. They have one big area they always has a class going. There's also a small bike room area that's dark and looks really relaxing. Overall, it's clean and great place for a workout that's not too busy. I signed up here instead of 24-Hour Fitness because of the fact I didn't want to go to a really busy gym after work. -
Paul’s 5-star review: I come to this Starbucks a lot to get stuff done. All the workers are extremely nice and a lot of them remember me now and remember my order. The area is a little small, so it may get difficult to find a seat if there are a lot of people here. Most tables are near an outlet except for the tables right next to the door to the outdoor tables. That being said, there are many tables outside with large umbrellas. Don't think there are outlets outside but nice place to chill if you want to be outside (however you'll be right near the busy intersection of Hesperian Blvd and A St.) The area inside runs a little on the colder side, even during winter, so bring a light jacket if you get cold easily. The bathrooms need a 5 digit code which you have to ask for. They think of funny codes sometimes (they had 90210 for a long time.) This place does get a lot of students after school gets out but other than that this place is great. A nice quiet alternative compared to the much busier Starbucks at Lewelling and the one at Bayfair. -
Paul’s 5-star review: I've been coming here since I was a little kid and Dr. Chan has always been great and friendly! His son is a Dentist there now too and is friendly and professional as well. Dr. Chan's office has grown a lot since I was little, has grown technology-wise. Their machines have been updated and seems very up-to date. X-Ray machines are digitalized and can show up on their computers instantly. They keep track of your records on their computer software and they try to keep up to date to what you've been up. The Dental Hygienist are all nice and keep a friendly conversation going with you while they clean your teeth. Overall, Dr. Chan is a great family Dentist in San Lorenzo and is very passionate and professional. -
Paul’s 5-star review: This Chevron is one of the cheapest gas stations around San Lorenzo. The GasBuddy app even told me so! It's also right next to McDonalds if you want to grab some food after. The only negative about this gas station is that it can get pretty busy at the end of the day, around the time when most people get off work. If I come here sometime around 7:30PM-8:30PM on a weekday, I can usually expect there to be a lot of cars waiting behind others. Also, if you try to get out by by the main-street side (E.14th St.), it says you can only turn right. You would need to exit through the side street nearest the McDonald's drive-through entrance (166th Ave.), if you want to turn left on E.14th St. -
Paul’s 5-star review: Classic Burger is one of my favorite local restaurants in San Lorenzo. They've been here for as long as I remember and the owners (the husband and wife) have owned it and are always there since I could remember. A long time ago I remember their kids used to wait and play in the back after their school. I used to come here when I was in Elementary School when they had a Kumon (an after school math/reading program) a few stores down. Parents and kids used to always come here to eat. Kumon moved out a long time ago but I'm glad to see that Classic Burger is still here! I always get the fries because it's full size fries and always super hot since it's fried when you order it. You can see them frying it while you wait. I don't think the price has changed in over 15 years, so everything is a great deal! The fries itself is less than $2. Their space is pretty big and not many people come here, so you always have a seat. Finally, the owners are super nice and friendly. My dad comes here enough and always talks to them when he's here. I will try start coming here more often to order their tasty fries and to also help support them. Pros: - Friendly and nice owners - Great fries - Cheap prices for everything - Great mom and pop shop in San Lorenzo Cons: - Seats can be a little uncomfortable
