In search of an electronics hobbyist store in the East Bay

Does anyone know of a good electronics hobbyist store in the East Bay?

Looking for the kind of place that sells soldering irons, discrete components, wires, common ICs, leds etc.. Like radioshack only decent :)

Specifically I'm looking to pickup a solderless breadboard.

Al Lasher's. They've got absolutely everything you'll ever need.

Second the recommendation for Al Lashers, but be aware that they cater far more to the TV and Ham crowd than IC-oriented hackers.
