Been going here for years. Awesome drinks and vibe and people. It's the first coffee shop I always recommend folks new to East Bay.

Smooth iced latte with black sesame. That's the special flavor here that you would like to try. The shop is busy but it has a good vibe that you can enjoy working and sipping your coffee.

CoRo is a very unique place. A very nice Cafe with very knowledgeable staff and a coop coffee roasting facility in the back, where you can watch the roasting and processing of the magic beans happen, right before your eyes. The feature some of the unique coffees that are roasted there and offer local baked goods, as well.

This is my second time at CoRo now, and both my visits have been fairly positive! A while back they had this amazing, seasonal S‘mores Latte drink that had a brulee’d marshmallow top — it was amazing (not available right now). I visited again today and ordered a large (seems like 16/20 oz) iced caramel latte.When I got up to the register, the person at the cashier said “Hello! How are you!” and I responded, but to my awkward surprise they were greeting a different customer who I assume is a regular here. They continued this conversation with them in front of me for a minute or so. Then when they finally turned to me, they made a comment about me speaking the language they were speaking it which I found awkward as well. Then I asked what syrups they have in their coffee, and they directed me to the menu without saying much. The menu only showed 2 drinks (vanilla/caramel latte) and I just wanted to know if there were any others I was missing as coffee shops often have more flavors than they list.Anyways, I got my caramel latte and asked for light ice. My total was $7.75 (light ice was an extra $0.50 just for a bit more milk) which I thought was quite steep. The drink itself also was pretty mediocre, nothing special, and barely tasted any flavor. I didn’t want to ask for extra syrup as that would’ve probably made the drink $8+. I probably won’t be returning but I acknowledge this is a cute spot with high quality coffee!

Overall good spot. My oat milk latte was good but the espresso was rather over extracted. Oat milk is not extra which is always nice.Dietary restrictions: Oat milk is the same price as whole milk.

Great open airy decor. Cool vibe. Coffee is phenomenal..competes with any boutique cafe. And when they have SUBLIME Ghost Town Oat milk (small batch local) it outranks any place around! If you like Oatly, you’ll LOVE that oat milk - in a pink carton. The cafe is on a sweet little street in a residential are and is MUCH better than it looks on the outside as it’s next to a lame liquor store. Only negative is in summers the AC is cranking so being a sweater :)

If you love coffee, you should go here. They have rotating pour overs from their partner roasters. Both of the ones I've had were well brewed, distinct, and excellent. I also got an iced oat milk latte, cold brew, and hot caramel oat milk latte for my coworkers. They were all hits. The caramel latte is not a high sweetness latte, and should be safe for those of us who don't like overly sweet drinks. I also got a blood orange cream cheese danish, which I was a big fan of. The baked good selections all looked top notch.The people behind the counter here are exceedingly pleasant. They are the kind of people who wouldn't think twice to go above and beyond. It's not a huge shop, but there is plenty of seating. Most of it for 1-2 people spots. There were a lot of people working/reading/studying both times I was here. There are some outside tables as well. Free WiFi and great coffee bean selection. Street parking can be pretty crowded, and there is some road construction/road closures on adjacent streets as of Nov 2023.Easy 5 stars.

Best coffee in the Bay Area— they’re artists.The espresso is so good that if you normally order a latte, you might find you can take/ prefer something stronger here.Awesome, artful pour overs. Great cold brew.
