I have been going to CURE for the last 2 years. I have continued to frequent this place for a few key reasons -
1. The staff have always been warm and friendly to me. When I come in they greet me enthusiastically, ask about the newest goings on in my life, but DON'T talk my ear off during my whole mani and pedi.
2. Because CURE is an eco-friendly place, there are no hard chemicals (like acrylic nail stuff) in the spa. Therefore, when you are there you don't inhale toxic fumes. CURE even hosts a Mom's Night on Wednesdays where moms can bring their babies because there are no harmful products used.
3. Free COSMOS on Fridays and Saturdays (and for me pretty much any day). What's not to love about a free cocktail while I get my manicure on?
In short, I love CURE. It's right in the heart of Emeryville 5 minutes from my office AND there's always parking.
Pros: Tranquil environment, great leg massages from Julie, and awesome services (like spray tanning)
Cons: A little off the beaten path, but well worth it (and there's free parking)

This is my favorite place to have lunch when I am at work. They have the best mexican fast food in emeryville. They use really fresh vegtables, and freshly cooked meat. They give a lot of choices as to what to put i your dishes. My favorite is either there chicken and prawn burrito. Just be prepared to wait in line, because it gets really busy during lunch time. Even if you call your food in, you still will end up waiting in line just to pay. The best way to do it, is to put it on your credit card so that it makes the process go faster. Another thing is the parking is really bad, it has about 8 spots in a busy little shopping center, but there is a few spots on the street.
PROS: great food
CONS: slow customer service

Each of the four times I have eaten at the restaurant, I have been pleasantly surprised and pleased. The dinners are interesting. A number of dishes are not your usual run of the mill Mexican fare. Their Tamales are so unusual and quite a treat. The Quesidillas are very tasty. Their salsa bar offers a variety of spicy. The lunch is more casual and reasonably priced. The dinner menu is a bit more pricey but has some items that aren't available for lunch.

I know I say that a lot. But we have a lot of institutions. We're a great city!
So, she is. There is an entire wall full of photos of celebrities enjoying her cuisine over the years, and a section of the menu explaining who Lois was. Besides that, there are solid hash brown and egg dishes, famous pies, and plenty of sausage and bacon for those who enjoy such things. Lois is a great common-denominator joint: pretty much everyone loves to go there. And it opens practically at dawn (maybe even before) for all your late-night or early-morning tasty food needs.

Broken rack is a tiny bit classier than the other pool halls around the bay area. They serve some food, drinks, and have waitresses uniformed. It's 21+ pool hall by the way. They plenty of regulation tables and a couple of snooker tables in the back. One special VIP room in the corner and a smoking lounge room. Its located in a business and shopping complex in Emeryville. Service is pretty good and well worth the experience. One of my favorite pool halls here in the east bay. They also hold tournaments here and shooters all around the bay come here to battle.

There is a different menu everyday, comprised of fresh organic local produce, rice, beans, etc. It's vegan and macrobiotic and delicious. The menu is posted on the website about 30 minutes before they start serving. Lunch is from 11:30-2:30 and dinner starts at 5:30. You can select from 3 different meal sizes - full, moderate, and simple. The larger 2 come with soup and the smaller does not. The simple is actually slightly different from the moderate and full in that it is made up of fewer items. The soups are always wonderful, often the highlight of the meal. They also have great pastries, baked there with natural ingredients. The service is fast - you have food within 5 minutes of getting there, and the servers are nice.
Pros: Fast, healthy, tasty
Cons: NONE!!

You will leave feeling gorgeous, refreshed and rejuvenated! Tony has been my stylist for many, many years. I liked the old space on College, but this new space in Emeryville is perfection. So very relaxing. A full array of top knotch Aveda products are displayed in a spacious and lovely retail section.
Looking for a new salon? Look no further, this place is fabulous.
Tony an Guy are gracious and kind and I recommend their salon without reservation!

They called to see if they could even come early. Finished the work ahead of schedule to the time to explain anything that I asked and then even said I had time left on the clock and asked if there was anything more they could do. Highly recommend them and will definitely use them again!

I had shopped at the EQ3 located in SF and just recently stopped by the Emeryville showroom. What a spot!!! The showroom is beautiful - congrats to the owners for having two incredible showrooms with totally different feels.
The staff was helpful and really knew what they were talking about. The woman who helped me (I can't recall her name off the top of my head) offered some really great design advice to a girl who was having a design crisis... I never felt like I was wasting her time and she was never pushy (unlike experiences that I had in another store.. 2 words.. initials R and B!)
I ordered a chest of drawers and was given the option to pick it up or have it delivered. Because it came assembled (!!!!) I opted to have it delivered. The chest was in stock, and they arranged delivery the next day. The crew was on time and incredibly courteous.
I will be back.. you can be sure of it!!
Pros: Great showroom, friendly staff, good quality, affordable
Cons: $1 to park for 3 hours... not really that much of a con, but...
