What a great local coffee shop!! I met Richard over 10 years ago and remember his ambitions to become a master coffee roaster. Today, after moving back into the neighborhood, I rediscovered this little gem! I got an oat milk latte and the coffee beans taste so good. They have great notes and very floral overtones. It’s such a breath of fresh air not drinking your standard commercial coffee roast since they have the roaster in the shop! I will definitely need to bring home some bags of coffee and continue the party at home with their roasts. The environment is enjoyable because of its Low-key vibe, good music, and plenty of foot traffic if you enjoy people watching. If you would like to work, you can sit in the window and get the defused light or set along the wall and use a table.

A hallmark of a good leader is surrounding themselves with people who are free to speak and have diversity in perspectives and ideas. When I asked the owner which latte was best, he said let me ask. Turns around and asked his employees. I have to come back to try the caramel however the Mexican mocha was exquisite.

I just moved back to Oakland about a week ago from Maui, Hawaii. I’ve never been a Starbucks kind of person, just locally owned coffee shops. And I must admit this place is amazing! Plus I live 3 minutes up the street so it’s convenient for me. Coffee is really good and the Corazon that I had the other day was delicious.

Visit in our friends and they took us here, a popular local spot for those not in a rush. The coffee takes a while to make. You order at the counter and they will call your name when it’s ready. They were nice enough to let our large dogs inside, as long as they didn’t sit in the benches. Several tables and chairs. We tried three different empanada flavors, chicken was my favorite over the corn or the beef. They had to specially brew decaf espresso for me as they did not have it available right away.

First of all, the coffee here is delicious, they roast their own beans and you can literally smell it down the block 😍 There is currently enough seating for around 10 people, and they have good wifi, great for working. It’s a lovely family owned business and the folks who work there are so kind and friendly. They have lots of coffee and espresso drinks and teas and also quite a bit of food with vegan and gluten free options!!
