The Chocolate Dragon Bittersweet Cafe & Bakery
Grab a chocolate pastry and a coffee at The Chocolate Dragon. It is just a short walk from the gallery and open late enough to fit this schedule.
16:13
Walk to SLATE Contemporary Gallery. Browse the contemporary art exhibitions while you have time. The gallery is open until 5 PM on weekdays, so you can pop in before the light changes.
17:13
Head to Lake Merritt to watch the sun set toward the WSW. The tidal lagoon reflects the golden light as day turns to evening.
Local tip
The Chocolate Dragon Bittersweet Cafe & Bakery is open until 18:30 on Sundays and Mondays, and until 21:30 on other days, so you have plenty of time to enjoy your snack before the gallery closes or the sun sets.
