Coastal live oak trees are native to the Bay Area and was an important food source for the Ohlone tribe.[1] However, this article claims that natives felt acorns from live oaks were "too wormy" and "too easy to get — nothing that plentiful can be very good."
Some of the oldest in San Francisco are in Golden Gate Park's Oak Woodlands Natural Area on the northeast corner of the park.
Oakland was named after the coastal live oak trees that were once plentiful there. There's a large oak tree in front of City Hall in Frank Ogawa Plaza known as The Jack London Oak.
In Berkeley, you can find oak trees at the aptly named Live Oak Park.
