Mackbox Meets the Moment

BY TAMARA PALMER

Mackbox, a dreamy snack box by pastry chef Mack Estrada, is available on the first and third weekends of the month and can be picked up in Oakland or delivered in the East Bay, San Francisco, South San Francisco and Daly City.

The items change each time, but here’s one I got a few weeks back to see what it’s like — a very good value for $40.
