Petit Cafe

I popped in there accidentally heading to sprouts and I will be back! We ended up staying for some drinks. My children and I were greeted with so much respect and appreciation. We ordered the vanilla Matcha latte and the ginger snap latte along with a hot cocoa for my little one. Every drink was delicious and while we did not order any food I noticed a lot of food that was coming out of the kitchen and it looks so good. I asked the girl how her food was and she said amazing. I can’t wait to come back to try their food and get another one of their fabulous coffee drinks. The ambience is beautiful and I love how small and quaint it is, but very comfortable. They also take very good care of the restroom and keep it nice and clean, which is a huge plus. My kids and I felt very comfortable being there and the owner and staff are natural hospitality people. Thank you! See you guys soon 🙏🙏🙏

I love this little cafe! I love their various matcha lattes, all their food is great and the owner and everyone that works there is warm and wonderful! I had their 3 tacos once and it was amazingly yummy!

We were so surprised that they were closing when we went there today! Today being 4th July, it’s their special operation hours. They were being very nice and took our drinks order, and gave us their bakes for free! We are definitely going back to experience their full service!

This is a charming little cafe. The owner & managers are so warm, welcoming and caring with their customers. The food was very nicely prepared and tasty. The rose cardamom latte was delicious. The owner-chef is a terrific baker. I treated myself to a special dessert; some sort of cake with a layer of pistachio. It’s in a good location for folks going to the Sutter hospital complex. I just wish for them a larger space to accommodate more customers.

I really enjoyed their lavender matcha and I will be for sure coming back to try the other ones. I do recommend it. The crew is really nice and professional.

Amazing little gem! Friendly staff who knew the menu and made recommendations; Small, very cozy atmosphere. Had the recommended breakfast wrap which was just amazing. Wife has the huevos Rancheros and raved about them. At first I wondered about the ~$14 price, but the quality and quantity of food fully justified the price; Good value for the money. I'll go out of my way to come back.

This is a great little cafe off the beaten path. Great vibes, great staff, and thoughtfully created foods. There are also some good GF options! They have a GF cookbook on the shelf too :p Also check out the Find Me Gluten Free app!

Adorable corner cafe- inside is super cute and there is seating outside too. Everyone was super nice. Avocado Toast with seasame seeds was delish but my quiche was exceptional complete with a side salad and avocado!! Forgot to take a picture before I had my first bite and after that there was no turning back!

I'm so delighted to happen across this little cafe on the way to the Shops on Broadway. I'm brand new to the neighborhood so I'm exploring what it has to offer. Petit Cafe has me thrilled that it's only a short 0.1 walk from my apartment. I came in after 1:00 PM for a later brunch and ordered a lavender latte, biscuit sandwich (sans avocado) with potatoes, and guava/cream cheese scone. The sandwich was delicious! A fresh, flaky, butter biscuit was accompanied by a fluffy and delightfully cheesy egg and grilled onions. Potatoes were nicely seasoned. All served hot and fresh. It was a bit of a wait to get this but nothing to deter me from ordering again. Lavender latte was beautiful and good, but I was expecting more of a lavender hit. The scone appeared to be cooked a little more than I typically like but it was still nice and fluffy with incredible flavor from the guava. The cafe itself is super cute and quaint, and appears to be a popular destination to do some work on your laptop. It's safe to say I'll become a regular. I'm already planning to bring my BFF here when she comes to visit.

I came here while waiting on my car to get serviced. I'm a big breakfast person, so I was shocked at my overwhelming interest in their overnight soaked steel oats. I like oatmeal a lot, but it's rarely my go to for breakfast when I'm eating out. Let me tell you, if you've ever felt that same way, this place will change your thoughts on that rule after your first bite. I ordered that with a side of toast with homemade strawberry jam (my all time ultimate jam -pun intended). The steel oats though, OMG. First they're presented beautifully layered with the chopped apples, honey and some sort of crumble. There might have been brown sugar (I can't recall). But, something told me to do a thorough stirring from the bottom. It was SO GOOD! Fresh, the constitution of the oats beyond any I had ever tasted; firm, yet chewy. The crunch of the fresh apples, burst of sweetness from the granola crumble was a great surprise throughout the meal. They made a new fan today. The strawberry jam was also as delight. Beautiful in appearance and delight to the taste buds. I'd be remiss not to mention that the service and people were super nice and attentive. I immediately have an appreciation for small businesses that use their wall space to display local artists. I hope they rotate artists regularly. Would love to come in to new art that I also have an opportunity to purchase. It makes the experience even more worth while.

What a cute corner cafe! Staff is so nice and the food is delicious! The Iced brown sugar coconut latte is my favorite!

Couldn't wait to come and leave a review for this place... from the second I walked in the aroma of fresh oak, santal & brew soaked in my veins. It was like walking into a beautiful massage room with no scent of hard coffee. I loved every bit of it. I heard laughing when I walked in the door and immediately had a wholesome feeling of goodness. Awesome cashier w.locs(Forgive me for not remembering) was soooo cool. Very down to earth and funny. I ordered the lavender latte and it couldn't have been any better than I had imagined. I will definitely be coming back just for the latte and to try a delicious bite from their food selection!

small place, friendly folks, good coffee, delish mushroom tacos. of all the nearby places to eat before/after appointments (not for nothing it's on pill hill), the most chill space with most good vegetarian and vegan choices.

Fun latte flavors, friendly service, free & fast wifi, and accessible bathroom. Great cafe for a quick bite and catch up on emails!

I had an appt with my Dr and had some time to kill. Found this cute little place via Yelp so had to let everyone know the previews have been spot on. The employees were super friendly and engaging I love me some pickled onions and had the bagel plate. Very tasty! They also have a really nice assortment of more unusual espresso drinks like rose cardamom, lavender and vanilla bean matcha. I chose dark chocolate chili and it did not disappoint. Love the spice! Only downside is that it isn't closer to where I live!

This is all of the best of Oakland in one little cafe. Quality: 5 Value: 5 Service: 5 Ambience: 4 This is a great local, Black-owned, small business that provides excellent coffee AND a range of really good, locally sourced/inspired delicious breakfast and lunch items. They have gluten free and vegan options, too. The staff are always super friendly, informative, and down to earth. They have prices in line with everywhere else nearby of this calibre.

a few of the reasons why i love to frequent petit cafe. - dog friendly -location (2 blocks from my apt) -staff: especially dave. he's amazing, friendly, and welcoming. makes it feel like it's your own place and offers great suggestions. if you haven't tried this place yet, RUN, not walk!

I'm here once again at petit cafe, and once again a 5 star experience. I ordered a cappuccino this time with oat milk and i gotta say, still by far my favorite place for coffee when i'm in oakland. It's perfectly made with just the right temperature and taste. when i think of a cappuccino, this is what i think of. I also ordered an almond croissant and it's great. the powdered sugar on top was such a great addition that really enhanced the flavor. on top of the great coffee and pastry, the service is always top tier. Same guy was working the register and it's good to see that the way he greets people and makes small talk while ordering is welcoming. looking forward to the next time! as i'm typing this review a customer is laughing, that dude treats everyone the same, it's great. if you're in oakland, give this place a try, also make sure to leave a review cause more people need to know about this, not just the casual passer by

EDIT: I didn't know blue pea flower powder was also called blue matcha, so it's not actually referring to the typical matcha we see! Thanks to the owner for the heads up :) I came by to do some work and got the Blue Calm drink, which is a matcha latte with blue pea flower powder and vanilla. It looks beautiful and I don't really taste the matcha itself, but the overall drink is creamy and nutty. I like that they have a lot of non-coffee options! I like the ambiance of the cafe but I would say the seating options are somewhat limited.

I was craving an almond croissant and Petit Cafe came to the rescue! This cafe is super small but mighty. There's plenty of drinks on the menu to choose from and a case of pastries. I came here on a Monday morning and this place was filled with people eating and working. I'd like to come back here sometime to work as well. The workers are nice and friendly.

Terrific seasonal avocado toast, friendly and efficient staff. (85 characters required)

I get either seasonal oat milk lattes here (rose, lavender, winter spice have all been good), or drip coffee and a food item (croissant, HUGE avocado toast, salad). Awkwardly the last time I visited, the barista/cashier was chatting up the girl in line ahead of me for an eternity and didn't even make eye contact to take my order. Not that I need or want a ton of attention when picking something up, but my presence was made to feel like an inconvenience. I'll still keep coming here, since it's a lovely place that makes lovely drinks, but it's probably good advice to finish up one order/conversation before starting the next.

Charming ambiance, the best ceremonial matcha I've maybe ever had and the vegetarian breakfast wrap was exactly what I wanted, fresh ingredients and perfectly distributed fillings. Will definitely be back and would recommend.

One of my favorite cafes in Oakland! The drinks are always good and the food options are great for staying in to get some work or studying done, wifi is very reliable. They have a bathroom behind the kitchen, just make sure you go around the building and ask for the key. I definitely be returning again and again!

Ran into this cute little cafe while waiting for my dad's eye procedure. After I paid, my food was delivered right to my table within minutes. I'm guessing they have super fast service for the hospital staffs next door. I ordered the biscuit egg sandwich and a lavender latte. I'm a big meat eater and I don't consider egg as meat so I was hoping I could add ham or bacon to my sandwich but I was wrong!!! Everything tasted so good together! The biscuit is so delicious and the caramelized onion and avocado tasted perfect with the fluffy eggs! I have to admit this no meat breakfast was perfect. Lavender latte is solid too. Overall a nice little surprise breakfast spot

Delightful little clean, bright , spare place. The Cafe Harvest Bowl was a perfect balance of zesty, fresh and comforting. The pear-pineapple smoothy was refreshing, with enough body but not too sweet. Friendly service. The direct opposite of a Greasy Spoon for lunch; my new go-to on Hill.

I have been here twice. Everytime I visit the oral surgeon, i always go here which is next door. First time I was here I got the rose cardamom latte which was superb. Second time I went here was yesterday, and I got the berry and basil smoothie which was delicious . Not too sweet which I like and it had fresh basil in it. What's most memorable about this place is not only their drinks and food, but the lovely, and kind barista who always made my drinks . She has a beautiful soul

I have been having meetings since last week and i always walk past yesterday came in got the breakfast wrap and ice coffee both were amazing had to come back today. Thank you again for provided such amazing food. Highly recommended

I visited this cute little cafe due to the fact that my new dentist is across the street and I had some time to kill and they were offering a 15% check-in offer. They have plenty of outdoor tables, however inside is more of a counter space with room for their kitchen. I did see plenty of people with laptops up on the counter. Their menu has a little something for everyone. We opted for a breakfast wrap, green smoothie and coffees including a lavender honey latte. Zero complaints! Everything was good. The wrap with potatoes was simple and light, with well cooked and spiced potatoes. I loved my honey lavender latte. I was worried the lavender would overpower, but not at all. Outdoor seating is such a bonus. It was an extremely warm and sunny morning and the 10 minutes or so I was there was fine, but this is a spot I could see myself enjoying some more leisure time/get some work done at, but if there was an umbrella or two? Maybe something this newish cafe is working on is the lack of shade, but their outdoor is such a selling point! Overall, what a nice and refreshing neighborhood joint. I immediately texted a friend who lived nearby to check it out.

Cute corner cafe with a small seating area indoor and a vast menu of seasonal and specialty drinks along with small bites (breakfast and lunch). The staff is friendly. The ginger snap latte is seasonal and warrants another visit very soon. When I asked more about this seasonal latte I was told that the drink was more ginger forward and that almost deterred me but I'm glad I kept it as my order because it reminds me of the cookie with isn't too sweet and perfect. I'm only giving it 4 stars because I haven't tried more of the menu.

My first time here and the experience was amazing, very friendly staff ,very welcoming and cozy environment. Will definitely be back next time I'm In town. From the coffee to the food everything was spot on and fantastic

The food is yummy. The peeps are funny. I went here for a change because I'm no dummy.

This a cute little place on Pill Hill with fresh sandwiches, breakfast pastries, artisan drinks, and more. I came here on the recommendation of a security guard at one of the local hospitals. I had just finished a medical appointment and wanted something very light and non-greasy to eat. Their soup of the day was minestrone soup, which hit the spot for me. It had that made-from-scratch taste to it and there were plenty of vegetables in the soup. They have lots of artisan drinks there and next time I'm in the area I'd like to try the Blue Calm, which is a Matcha latte. The drink is actually blue and I like the name Blue Calm. Service was friendly, but kind of slow. But it's definitely a place worth going back to.

I love to go to the dentist! Seriously, my wife has some complicated dental problems and while she is down the street at the dental office, I am enjoying a delicious cup of coffee and a sandwich at the Petit Cafe. Yesterday, I had the barbecued prtabello mushroom sandwich. Heavenly! The mushrooms were prepared in a BBQ sauce and placed on a French batard with a nice slaw . The sandwich was served with greens covered with a tasty dressing. I've had this sandwich twice and I also had the one with Fontana cheese and pesto. Both are excellent. The second best part of the cafe is that the owners have hired a very friendly staff. Again, I can't wait to go to the dentist.

Friendly place with nice people and a good vibe. If you're in the neighborhood for some medical appointment coming here will brighten your day.

Great Coffee, Tasty food. Try the pesto grilled cheese! Even my 8 month old loves it! The staff is friendly and personable. Knew me by name on my 5th visit to the cafe. Comfortable ambiance. Feels like a cafe, but not overwhelming. My wife is undergoing weekly treatments nearby, and this is the perfect stop to spend an hour before going to pick her up. Only on my third visit did I realize they were vegetarian. But the food has been outstanding, so I'll overlook that!

Super nice staff and really delicious drinks! I'm usually not into sweet / floral coffee, but the rose cardamom latte is nicely balanced and a new favorite. Their watermelon spritzer is incredible too! Lots of vegetarian options make this an easy choice for breakfast and lunch

Yum! Interior was cute and service was fast. Drinks are great! Great place to go before work.

Tried the bagel platter and the lavender latte! They were both amazing! Loved this place!

The drinks are decent (Ritual beans) and with nice variety, but the prices are pretty expensive. I paid $7 for a small lactose-free latte (smallest of 3 sizes), and then the tip options they have set up with Square are $1/$2/$3. It's on par with some other Bay Area coffee shops, but more expensive than good places like Modern Coffee. Now that Oaklandia Cafe has migrated, it's a fine choice if you work or are a patient here and need a bite/drink close by. But if you have a few more minutes, I would recommend that you walk a few blocks further for a better coffee quality to price ratio. I didn't eat here, but they have a spread of cafe food items: a good selection of baked goods behind the glass, plus typical easy small-kitchen fare like sandwiches, toasts and breakfast items. I couldn't find any napkins when I looked around - neither in front of the barista, nor at the water station, nor at any of the tables. They serve drinks in paper cups without the cap on, making them prone to spillage, so it would make sense to have them available. The cafe is small, as per the name. The customer area basically one long corridor, and the rest is the kitchen. There are small tables outside. There didn't seem to be a bathroom accessible to customers in the space. Because of the compact space, it can get loud when the machines are running. I had to shout my simple order several times for the cashier to hear me. I did see someone taking a call inside, though. There's WiFi. I wouldn't camp out here too long due to the small space, but it's perfectly fine for 30-60 minutes of laptopping, as long as the glare through the windows isn't too strong, or reading. The hours are limited - they shut up shop early on business days, and they're totally closed on weekends.

Petit Cafe had a rough start two years ago and had to close during the pandemic. Cute spot for the workmanlike hospital district known as Pill Hill. Petit Cafe can be found at the top of the historic hill. I'll start with the coffee since it's a café. Absolutely delicious. Four dollars for a cup so it's not cheap, but really tasty. Ritual, I think. But what really blew me away last time I went was the food. I had an extremely delicious breakfast biscuit with egg. It was topped by a nice onion relish. Soft egg and a smashed, well-spread avocado. Excellent biscuit. Total winner. I'm very curious to try to lunch sometime. Nice, clean space. Always nice folks behind the counter. There's a long counter with stools along the window and a couple of tables in the back. Sometimes there are two or three tables outside. Whether you work near here or are just coming through for an appointment, it's a cut above your average coffee spot. Check it out!

I came here today during my lunch break. I was originally going to order a latte, but I decided to order the Sandman (mushroom coffee) after seeing a little sign promoting it. Payment: heads up, this is a card only establishment. Meaning, they don't take cash! Which is a little different. Service: It did take a decent amount of time to make the coffee, but it was delicious. I didn't get anything to eat, so I'm unable to rate the food at this time. If I happen to work near by I will definitely come back since the coffee was so yummy, but I'll definitely make sure that I'm not in a rush.

Super friendly. Tasty food. Great coffee. Stop in if you are considering it! Good atmosphere for chillin with friends or doing some work on a laptop.

Food is lovely. Gluten free options are really tasty and the atmosphere is nice with local artwork! Nice way to support quality local businesses

A grey Parisian day in October led us to this simple cafe across from Samuel Merritt. As a small business, the intention they place in their drinks is obvious. Highly recommend this gem!

Petit is the little cafe that stands shoulder to shoulder with the grands. We came in for a quick lunch and loved the French-style classic grilled cheese sandwich, which came with a side of micro greens. The single espresso was perfectly prepared and presented. Its taste was not fully to my liking, but that's almost certainly the fault of the beans--while everyone around town seems to love Red Bay coffee, somehow I never have. The staff were friendly and charming. They checked our vaccine QR codes with a smile. This was definitely a five-star experience. We plan to return for breakfast very soon.

The customer service was great! But the food was not worth the price and honestly the food didn't have any flavor. The sauce that came with my wrap was pretty nasty too.

Great customer service; the staff were super friendly and helpful. Had a nice cup of Red Bay drip coffee and a delicious passion fruit scone. Also had great wifi so I could get some work done while I was there. Highly recommend!

Great fresh food. Perfect service and cool ambience! Love theover night oats Great employees

This is hands down my favorite cafe in Downtown Oakland. Great customer service, the staff and the owner are super down to earth and friendly. The coffee, the pastries and the food are always so delicious. Me and my dog come here every other day. I grab the 10:4 which is my favorite drink and then I grab an organic peanut butter treat for him. Thank you Bri!!!!

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, so I was super excited to realize that they were right around the corner from the massage studio I'd arrived at with time to spare. Ambiance is adorable and cute, minimal which is always a good vibe. Service was extremely kind in a very genuine way - from the person who took my order to the person who served me my food. I got a quiche and cup of coffee - coffee was good, brewed right and tasted fresh. Quiche was bomb! Buttery, flaky and filled with fresh veggies that had the right amount of crunchy / soft texture. Came with a side salad which was perfect. So glad I came, I already can't wait to come back.

Lovely! Great food, great service, a great local business. Don't forget the desserts!

Got the Buttermilk Biscuit Egg Sandwich, and a small vanilla latte. The sandwich 9/10 for sure, really good. Coffee 10/10. The potatoes 2/10, I could do without, the portion isn't worth the price tag in my opinion (comes with the sandwich) I'd feel better paying for the sandwich alone minus the cost of the potatoes. Overall though, really yummy. Everyone is super friendly and the customer service alone would make me comeback.

Amazing vibes and great food. The staff is so kind and the coffee was amazing.Breakfast Wrap

Great food - I loved the hot sauce for the wrap (wasn't very spicy and was mildly sweet) and the vegan sausage. The drip coffee was tasty and I like the big hot mug it comes in. The service is really friendly, attentive and fast. The space is clean and bright with lots of windows. There is some counter seating, a small table and a larger table with plenty of outlets for charging. It's a great place to work with fast wifi.

Excellent cappuccino and croissants are amazing. Full breakfast menu. Super nice staff!

My dogs and I walk past this place a few times a day during our daily walks because it's just around the corner from the house. It always smells delicious, so I've been meaning to try it. This morning on our early morning walk, we run into one of the people who work there propping up a specials sign, and he informs us (as in, the dogs and I) that they also make dog treats. On my way home for lunch today, I dropped in and ordered an iced chai latte, breakfast wrap and bought dog treats. I have to admit that the primary reason for my visit was to support a local business. However, I am SO glad I ordered food. It was absolutely delicious! The customer service was on point and the decor was really cute and relaxing. As an aside, the dog treats smelled like something I would buy at Trader Joe's for myself as a human, so I'm guessing my dogs approved of them as well . I would definitely give it a shot if you're in the area! 10/10

Got the Cafe Harvest bowl & Julio potatoes, pretty tasty. It is a cute cafe on the corner. They had some unique mushroom drink that I will have to try next time.
