2 stars but because food was really good, it's a 3. Ordered the breakfast sandwich - delicious. Service was odd, slow & not warm. Cashier had same type of vibe as person making food. Very weird. Very big open space but not inviting, felt cold & unwelcoming. Maybe it was an off day? Dunno but a lot of the customers were strange too. We waited a long while to get our sandwiches and a longer time for the mocha. Very strange experience. The good was that the food was tasty, fresh and kept my energy level up for a good while which was surprising because sandwiches weren't huge. All in all, I'll return if I'm not in a rush, had at least 30 minutes to kill, I was in the area, hungry then I'd get a breakfast sandwich to go.

This is a nice little neighborhood coffee place where you can get decent and elaborate breakfast, and work on your laptop on a Sunday morning. Cozy little spot, the food is more then decent and so is the coffee. If you like fennel sausage, the gravy biscuit is a go.

Great food, nice big space, great people. My favorite lunch (that I crave, so I keep coming back!): goat cheese toasts and a bright green side salad. Plus I appreciate that everything is compostable. No waste!

This place is absolutely wonderful. Great local spot to grab coffee, tea, and small bites. I love to come for breakfast on the weekends when they serve fresh biscuits (honey butter, gravy and sausage, or rose creme fraiche) yumm. The chai tea is deliciously spiced and I love using the oat milk as an alternative. Atmosphere is inviting, great to socialize with friends or get work done. There is also a small children's play corner.

The coffee at this shop is superb. You can definitely taste the love and care out in each cup of Joe that is served. You're not only greeted by a smile by every staff member, but the atmosphere of hustle and bustle really makes you get work done. I had a lot of work to do, and with the mix of a smooth RnB playlist along with the local vibe of entrepreneural grinding going on around me, I was able to finish my work in no time. Please give this place a try, and you will not regret it.

Casual urban, healthy, comfort food with elevated palette. Lots of options.

Really good coffee and food. I got latte and a BLT. Relaxed atmosphere. Nice music playing at the right volume. I would come back.

This is one of my favorite cafes in Oakland. There are so many food and drink options, and they're all good. The people who work there are always so kind and nice to talk to. The indoor seating area is cozy but not cramped. The rose cardamom cold brew mocktail is my favorite 🌹
