Public Transport and Parking

Public transportation is not recommended unless you can arrange to have someone pick you from a bus stop on San Pablo Avenue or the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) station.

The No. 7 bus stops right at the church but stops running early. If you take the bus we can almost always find you a ride back down the hill.

There’s lots of free parking on the streets and in a parking lot across the street.

There are two ways to get to Cafe Simcha, one takes you up Moeser, a very steep street, The other takes you up the Arlington.
