Akat Cafe Kalli

I just got back from Akat Cafe Kalli with the best Americano I've ever had. Jose was very helpful and heard me out on what kind of roasts I like and he pegged me correctly with this drink. The place has a very welcoming, cozy and clean ambiance. Your coffee is ready promptly and by the time it's in your hands you are not sure you're ready to leave the place; it's quite nice.

Finally, a refreshing community-based cafe that diverts from the typical hipster coffee spots. Not only do they have the best drip coffee in the Bay (which is from their partner Sin Fronteras Coffee, a non-profit organization that works directly with indigenous coffee bean growers throughout Latin America), but they also have a variety of drinks with an Latinx twist (e.g. Mexican mocha, Mate Latte). They serve amazing, authentic Latin-inspired grub like chilaquiles, tamales, etc. (their chorizo breakfast bagel sandwich was 10/10). And they display/sell great art pieces from local artists! There isn't a lot of space to work inside their hole-in-the wall spot, but they always have cute little tables outside to people watch or to listen to the occasional musicians that make their way through. Lastly, the staff there is phenomenal and truly makes you feel welcome. Akat Cafe Kalli is trying to foster a great community of support and inclusivity, so ya'll should definitely make your way through!
