Burger Patch in Oakland will be the second location in addition to its original spot in Sacramento. The business is already offering one lucky winner free Patch Burgers for an entire year, which you can enter HERE.

“Oakland is a model for community spirit,” said co-founder Phil Horn.* “That type of connectedness is foundational to our values. There’s an edgy and creative energy in Oakland that matches our desire to challenge the status quo and change people’s minds with our food.”

Although Burger Patch is known for its burgers and shakes, the Oakland location will have an expanded menu, according to the news release. It plans to debut the “Burrito Patch,” which will be the chain’s plant-based spin on burritos.

Burger Patch was founded in 2017 by husband-and-wife Phil and Danea Horn. They have since grown the Sacramento-based business as it currently has more than 17,000 followers on its Instagram page. Burger Patch has been sold to customers at BottleRock Napa Valley and at Golden 1 Center.

Burger Patch in Oakland will be located a few blocks away from Lake Merritt, roughly a seven-minute walk from the 19th Street Oakland Station. Other vegan burger restaurants in the area include Malibu’s Burgers and Grandeur.
