Lovely cafe, very community oriented and it is apparent from the moment you arrive before even walking in. Today there was someone giving away free green apples outside, and when I came in I had a lovely maple cardamom latte and a sandwhich. Have been recommended to this cafe in the past, was very happy to give it a try! Will come back ;)
in love with this place, have been coming for a few years now and I’m so grateful it exists. The Xochi sandwich with slaw and turkey and crispy cheese is such a light but rich and acidic balanced go to of mine. They may not have pour over but their drip is some of the best drip out there, tastefully executed each time haven’t had a miss yet. They even have some seasonal unique one off that are always fun and tasty. The backyard space is so so peaceful, they may not allow dogs inside but the dogs are certainly hanging all around on the outside ! It’s hip, comfy, tasty, peaceful. the vibes are good.
loved the staff and the vibe of the place but the iced matcha i got was gross. it was sour? not sure if it was the almond milk or what but it didn’t taste like matcha.
Great spot. Coffee drinks are excellent and the baristas are friendly in a genuine way. I wish there was a bit more seating inside for work sessions but there is plenty outside if the weather abides. Overall one of my go-to spots for good drinks and a good book.
So lucky to have this place in the neighborhood. Delicious coffee and snacks with a really cute outdoor garden and friendly staff and customers. A true community meeting place. Note that dogs are no longer allowed inside the cafe, only on the back patio and sidewalk.

Sip, savor, and unwind in Oakland's cozy community cafe with a peaceful garden vibe.
