It was cold and raining so me and a friend went here to talk and have some coffee. I love the atmosphere, and the service was good, but my coffee was barely warm. I never complain about food or drinks because I’m terrified about retaliation, but if your chilled and want hot coffee you might not get it here

I am not a person of color, and this is hands down the coolest cafe in Oakland town. If you love Oakland like I do, then this is another reason why. I would describe it as a much bigger and wealthy Hasta Muerte cafe. Oh, I enjoyed the mirror at the entrance. Nice.

There are places that simply feel right, and Kinfolx is one of them. It’s a thoughtful third space—calm, beautiful, and unforced—suited for focused work, meaningful conversation, or an easy first meeting. Kinfolx offers a sense of ease and belonging that feels true to Oakland. It’s the kind of place you’re glad exists.

A nice cafe in downtown Oakland with ample seating options. They serve breakfast food (think egg sandwich and pastries) and your usual coffee offerings. In addition to tables and chairs (often taken up by people on laptops during the week) they also have some couches. It's a nice spot with good vibes. No parking but so close to Bart and bus options. Support a local business!

I ordered the mocha, it has a great balance between chocolate and coffee, it's more on the chocolate side. Service was great. Loved the vibe, the walls, the drawings, it reflects the culture of the neighborhood, that's the beauty of Kinfolx. It's a great place to work with a laptop, there's a decent amount of outlets I would definitely be visiting again
