Rooz Cafe

They’re never open. I tried again this Saturday - checked the hours on Google and on their website, just to be sure. They said they’d be open till 3pm. I got there at 12pm and there was already two people trying to get in, but it was closed! The one and only time they were open, the girl behind the counter was hanging with two of her friends and ignored me. I finally asked if I could order and she said they were closed, even though their hours said they would be open for another hour, which I said. She just said “we closed early”. My boyfriend has also tried many times to go, but every time, it was closed.

Rooz means day in farsi. The owner is a very cool man and his whole team especially the warm young man who greets you — is a gem in Oakland culture. Not to mention the drinks are dirt cheap and delicious. They know their craft having been in Oakland for over 30 years ( the owner) I recommend their sandwiches. Especially the pesto egg. Do yourself a favor and visit. They have great ambiance, service and food.

Total hit or miss, but usually hit. 3 orders of food and the last order will always take 20+min... However prices are great for what you get, although I've had the bfast sandwiches 20x and every. Single. Time. They have been somewhat different. Not a complaint tho, it's always good. Coffee game is solid.
