Motivāt Coffee Roasters

We’ve got two pour over - Ethiopia and Rwanda. Both had a slightly acidic taste and delicious! The pastry, cinnamon bun, was so good. Soft and not overly sweet. Very tasty. It felt like European-style bread. Despite only two seats available, we still enjoyed our coffee on site. Staff was very friendly.

I have tried the ice mocha and their homemade pastry, and they were both delicious. Additionally, they have a very nice and quiet patio that is perfect for relaxing.

Very nice little spot with some outdoor seating areas. They had some great treats for my dog. 10/10 coming here again for a cup of coffee

The service was great. Very personable staff. The coffee was exceptionally good for my taste. Definitely recommend! The only thing I’d change is to offer a larger size option.

I forgot to take a photo of the cute GOAT cookie 😭 that cookie was 🔥🔥🔥 100/10, we also tried the polvoron latte 8/10, Ethiopia origin pour over 10/10.

One of my favorite coffee shops in the bay for sure. Coffee is pretty consistent and overall very good. The baristas are well educated and trained and the service is 10/10. I wish they had a seating area to compliment the great coffee and atmosphere, maybe in the future!

My order: Oat milk latte Espresso beans used: Columbian Price: $5.50 which is average for Oakland Outdoor seating: yes Indoor seating: no, this coffee roaster is located below a co-working space. The co-working space is not available to customers of the coffee roaster Wheelchair friendly: yes Clean: yes Fun fact: they donate $1 for every bag of beans purchased. Their coffees are also single origin. In addition, if you ask a barista to tell you a joke, they will.

Excellent coffee, great service. The seating is outdoors only, pleasant, but very limited, so a few points off there. I was one of the very few people who'd sit there and work; vast majority of customers just did pick up.
