Reposted @whenreadingattacks Finally made it to @oaklandiacafexbakery to grab some lunch and check out their @sistahscifi book vending machine!

To say I was *delighted* is an understatement. I'm gonna need a book vending machine in every corner 👀

The food was really good too. I visited with my family and we had a tasty lunch + they were super helpful. Great place to get some work done. Check it out if you're in the DY Oakland. Oaklandia is open M to F 7AM to 4PM.

Image description. 1 The Oaklandia Cafe and Bakery storefront. Glass doors, glass windows, one of which with a poster talking about the generations of Oaklandians to run the cafe. 2-3 Kris sitting at one of the work tables looking at books wrapped in plastic fresh out the vending machine. 4 Kris standing in front of the vending machine. It's blueish purple. So many cool science fiction books inside. The Sistah Sci Fi website and logo at the top and at the dispenser. 5 The vending machine in action. Kris pulling out a copy of Symbiosis by @NickyDrayden from the dispenser and feeling joy.
