Do not miss out on this spot. Delicious treats (savory + sweet) and my favorite iced coffee. There is often a line late mornings and on the weekend, but worth the wait.

It's a trek in the heat (closed for summer), but if you go on a good day, the Oasis is beautiful. Can be a little crowded, but still worth it. Bring some food for a picnic or a book if you feel like staying a while.
