The Ikea in Emeryville is a fun place to be even if you're not shopping for yourself. I like to go there sometimes just for ideas around the home. My wife was very anti-Ikea when we were shopping for furniture because she felt quality was generally subpar. However, after about 6 months in our house, we have at least 5 pieces of furniture from IKEA! I think quality does suffer in the really cheap items they sell. After all that shopping, on your way out you can get a hot dog for 25 cents.
