"Modern Coffee’s second location is a vibrant and relatively new addition to Uptown Oakland. Just as with their original location downtown, Modern Coffee’s 19th street location offers delicious coffees from a rotating collection of roasters, espresso drinks and freshly made pastries. The recently remodeled space is bright and contemporary, offering a variety of seating types to hunker down, either solo or with a group." - Arcsine
"There is no better way to start your day with a coffee and pastry from Modern Coffee. This small coffee shop has many options for the java enthusiast. From a simple, yet delicious drip coffee to an espresso topped with a little latte art, you really cannot go wrong. Their selection of pastries varies from day to day, but there is always something for everyone. They also offer lavender syrup which is a great addition to any beverage." - Pitch Interactive
Great tasting coffee and vibes from this little coffee shop! The customer service is spectacular and there is a nice little seating area to stop and have a chat or work a bit. The food also looks great which I have yet to try but one day may grab a pastry. Highly recommend the burnt cinnamon latte or iced blackstrap latte. Delish!!

I love coming here to get my coffee or chai. Coffee & Masala chai are my favorite so far. They also have fresh bakery items. It's a cute cafe. Staff is very sweet. Just make sure to come here before 2ish as they close at 230pm.

I walked in and was greeted right away. I loved the energy of the beautiful young ladies. Very sweet. I got the burnt cinnamon latte and it was nice and lite, & perfectly sweetened.

Oakland has an amazing coffee scene and modern coffee is definitely one of the best. It is located across from federal hall and they have the best Cardomom Chai ever. Even though Starbucks was around the corner, is definitely come here again. Free wifi and power outlets available but seating is limited.

My new favorite coffee establishment. It’s so nice to get a break from the madness of Starbucks. It’s so chill here. The service here is awesome and they offer great tasting coffee. Right now I am having a peppermint, ginger tea. Cold day, tea... great combo.

I had the BEST almond milk latte I have ever had. I got the burnt cinnamon latte and the milk was perfectly frothed. Obsessed.

I love modern coffee! This location is very convenient for me so I stop in often - I just wish they were open in the afternoon for a pick-me-up! I like that they have special touches - such as their lavender syrup made in-house - that you can add to your drink.
