Great food, nice big space, great people.
My favorite lunch (that I crave, so I keep coming back!): goat cheese toasts and a bright green side salad.
Plus I appreciate that everything is compostable. No waste!

This is one of my favorite cafes in Oakland. There are so many food and drink options, and they're all good. The people who work there are always so kind and nice to talk to. The indoor seating area is cozy but not cramped. The rose cardamom cold brew mocktail is my favorite 🌹

I had a great lunch. My sandwich was perfect. The place seemed to basic. No real effort put in to decorating our making you feel like you want to be there. Just a hole in the wall with good food

This cafe is great for meeting with people, because it has tables of all sizes. But, if you are a coffee person it is not enjoyable. My husband is a big coffee person and we love supporting local cafes, but the coffee my husband received tasted like the beans were burnt. I am a tea person, but I like to try a coffee drink with him every once and a while. I tried the mocha and it was completely over powered by whatever syrup they use, I even drank it down a little and had them add water and it was still not good. I suggest sticking with tea at this cafe.

2 stars but because food was really good, it's a 3. Ordered the breakfast sandwich - delicious. Service was odd, slow & not warm. Cashier had same type of vibe as person making food. Very weird. Very big open space but not inviting, felt cold & unwelcoming. Maybe it was an off day? Dunno but a lot of the customers were strange too. We waited a long while to get our sandwiches and a longer time for the mocha. Very strange experience. The good was that the food was tasty, fresh and kept my energy level up for a good while which was surprising because sandwiches weren't huge. All in all, I'll return if I'm not in a rush, had at least 30 minutes to kill, I was in the area, hungry then I'd get a breakfast sandwich to go.

This is a nice little neighborhood coffee place where you can get decent and elaborate breakfast, and work on your laptop on a Sunday morning. Cozy little spot, the food is more then decent and so is the coffee.
If you like fennel sausage, the gravy biscuit is a go.

This place is absolutely wonderful. Great local spot to grab coffee, tea, and small bites. I love to come for breakfast on the weekends when they serve fresh biscuits (honey butter, gravy and sausage, or rose creme fraiche) yumm. The chai tea is deliciously spiced and I love using the oat milk as an alternative. Atmosphere is inviting, great to socialize with friends or get work done. There is also a small children's play corner.

Really good coffee and food. I got latte and a BLT. Relaxed atmosphere. Nice music playing at the right volume. I would come back.
