“Cafe 4 has such great views and space to work. I often work from home so I lose out on the sense of community vibe. I go to Cafe 4 to work on my laptop and grab my cup of dark mocha or vanilla chai. It's nice to see the view and chit chat with other folks working or just chilling at the cafe. During the holidays the three crosses church have a Christmas event for the month of December with local food trucks, shops, ice skating, and a train (free!). We go multiple times and stop by the cafe for warm drinks and their amazing fresh ginger bread cookies. It feels magical with their Christmas decor and we just love coming back.“
“David and Lake Chabot are phenomenal! 1000% recommend. Took my ailing father out on a pontoon ride to celebrate his birthday, from parking to renting, and docking. Felt very taken care of and grateful for the kindness and patience. Definitely will be back!“
“This place is great, they got nice coffee and really good empanadas, The staff is friendly and service is fast. A must try if you are in the area. They offer non-dairy alternatives for your drinks. Parking can be challenging, but that's almost expected since it's next to trader Joe's.“
“I cannot believe I never knew about this cafe when I lived nearby. Just discovered it today and will definitely be back! The BLT and Chipotle Chicken sandwiches were delicious & filling - generous portions of crispy bacon, lots of spring mix to be healthy and the French bread was beautifully warm and toasted. Limonada mineral just like we had in Mexico, and the Cafe de olla is a must try! The ladies were super sweet and gave us a sample of their chia pudding which was also delicious and I’ll be ordering a bowl for breakfast next time I come. This place is easy to miss as it doesn’t look like much from the front and the interior is small, but then there is a nice back patio with about 10 tables of various sizes including a huge communal table that can seat about ten people. The decor transported me back to our visits to Mexico. Love love love!Dietary restrictions: Has non dairy options for their espresso drinks“
“I absolutely love this place and their ice cream! I was looking for some koolfi in the Bay and stumbled across Koolfi Creamery, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Their Bombay Butterscotch flavor is my favorite, but every flavor I’ve tried has been amazing. Highly recommended.“
“Found this brand new little gem Cafe Cordoba in Oakland today. I'm a lifelong restaurant owner which makes it hard to please me. This place is amazing. Family owned and operated. I had the big tacos with carne asada. They were absolutely sell. I'll be back time and time again. We need more small business owners like this one. Bravo!“
“Romo Cafe is a bright shiny star in our Fairfax neighborhood. Mexican coffee is delicious and pairs well with oatmeal cookies. They have an excellent and diverse menu serving breakfast items like their Chia bowl and great lunch selections of salads and sandwiches.Parking: Usually parking within a blockKid-friendliness: Very kid-friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Downstairs is wheelchair accessible.“
“Wanted to give this local coffee shop a try. Located on a very busy street, it was nice that they had a small parking lot located next door. Once inside, the coffee shop is pretty small and gives off homey vibes. It took sometime for them to get to us but you can tell the coffee is made with care. Ordered the Mexican hot chocolate mocha. 10/10. It wasn't too sweet or too coffee tasting. It was a perfect balance. I will be coming back to get it again!“
“This is a very nice and convenient cafe to go to at Centerville Train Station. They serve American and Filipino food here. This is actually my second time coming here and noticed that they have Lamb Tocino, which is quite unheard and probably rarely eaten.The wait was long because there are some issues in the kitchen, but I’ll let that slide. The staff are friendly when people got here and are apologetic due to problems at the backend.I also like how the place is decorated trying to match the theme of trains and other transportations. It is small for a dining area, but it’s worth relaxing and coming here.“
“Best chai in the area, delicious well seasoned food and the nicest people. The owners are really sweet and nice to talk too, you can tell they put their heart into it. The outdoor patio is cute and comfortable. This place is the best. You gotta to try it! Much love ?❣️Vegetarian options: Good dishes that are traditionally vegetarian so they taste rightDietary restrictions: lots of vegetarian and vegan options, non-dairy lactose free drinks, caffeine free drinksParking: easy parkingKid-friendliness: always see kids at this placeWheelchair accessibility: curb cut and single story, lots of space to move around“
“Small dining area, but with good energy and a big menu. We got the loaded potatoes and the veggie wrap. The veggie wrap was well seasoned and very filling. The potatoes were cooked well and the salsa was delicious. Generous portions. The cashier was busy but service still came with a smile. You could tell they are involved in their community as many locals came in while we were dining.“
“Was in the neighborhood & got hungry. Was heading 2 Sonic's & Seen Amy's grill & decided 2 give it a try. I ordered a breakfast sausage sandwich & blueberry waffles. I just finished the food now & it was great! ? would def recommend & will be back again! Thank you! #HazyJavi on all music apps!“
“Their Chole bhature are the best in the whole Bay Area. Try it once and you can tell the difference. I have ordered it many times and will continue to do so but I have tried their other food items which were just ok. Their naans needs improvement. Not sure what happened but when I took them home and tried to eat them, they were basically stretchy and unchewable. I hope they fix this problem. When eaten in the store, they are very good.“
“Cafe 86 opened a location in Norcal, specializing in ube desserts and drinks. I usually order an upside down halo halo to share with friends. Delicious with traditional and modern toppings like ice cream, frosted flakes, and boba, it's a nice treat to share with others (or eat it by yourself to satisfy a sweet tooth). Seating is limited in the cafe. Would recommend if you're in the area.“
“Many crepe options to choose from but we went with dessert options. The pasta as a side is very good with savory crepes, banana freeze is my staple if you love bananas. My La La loo loo crepe was very delicious and although I asked for syrup on the side i definitely didn't need any. The ice cream on the side was also the perfect touch. Highly recommend for a quick breakfast / brunch. After ordering it took around 10 minutes for the food to come out together.“
“What can you say, typical coffee shop, excellent food, good prices.Kid-friendliness: Great kids options. French toast is superb.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat low sidewalk, easy for wheelchairs. A little tight, but doable. Sundays are busy.“
“Renegade Coffee by Devout Coffee has eclectic atmosphere, quality coffee, and friendly staff. It offers a unique blend of specialty coffee drinks and a cozy space for patrons to relax or work. I am impressed with their creative menu options and the attention to detail in each cup. The vibe is welcoming and laid-back, making it a favourite spot for locals and visitors alike. I highly recommend this place for great coffee and experience.Parking: Parking is available in the nearby parking lot.“
“Excellent service all around, starting with prompt responses to my questions over text message, to a warm welcome when we arrived and attentive service from all the staff throughout our dining experience. All the dishes we ordered were amazing; from the raw and grilled oysters, salads, to the sandwiches/entrees and hand crafted cocktails/drinks, everything was delicious. What a gem in this neighborhood! Definitely recommend, especially if you are celebrating a special occasion. We had such a great time for my birthday.“
“I cannot express how much I love a dedicated gluten free facility. It makes it so easy for my celiac husband to find tasty treats and drinks. The desserts, particularly the cookies and cupcakes are so good you would never know the difference between non-gluten free items (I say this as someone who eats non gluten free items all the time). We love the desserts so much we ordered our wedding cake from here and it turned out beautifully! We could not recommend this place enough. It's a little pricey but that's to be expected with the pricer ingredients and in being in an expensive area.“
“Nice spot, nice music, really good oat latte. Not the same food selection as pre Covid ( no breakfast toasts) but nice pastries. I entered wedged between 12 fire fighters and was surprised to get my latte in about 2 mins. Only two workers, very efficient. Still found a place to “
“Had the vegan Buddha bowl, it was a delicious and nutritious lunch. Nice to have a healthy and filling meal so easy to grab to-go.Vegetarian options: Has more vegetarian options than veganThere is always a veggie sandwich and soup of the day“
“Fresh donuts, hot brekkie sandwiches, coffee, juices and even boba sold here. If you're in a hurry and want a hot breakfast sandwich, call it in. When i go in to order it usually takes them 10 minutes to make, maybe 8. Great service always. It's family owned, so go support them. They have reasonable prices.“
“We are not from the area and the hotel we stayed at didn’t have breakfast or coffee.. I looked up breakfast near me and this place popped up. We decided to try it. Everything seems very reasonably priced. My husband had the Lox bagel and said it was amazing. And I ordered an iced white mocha and I have to say I think it’s better than Starbucks! I wish we had one of these back where I’m from I’d be here almost everyday if I could!“
“This s most place! Having a stressful day at work? This is you lunch break please I think you are going to love it. My food was brought to my table in the patio and she was FRIENDLY!! Food is do good and my coffee was DELICIOUS. You'll be in paradise to recharge your energy??“
“Some interesting options for food and drink at this cafe. Chaga chai latte anyone?Good location in busy commercial district on MacArthur. Parking may be a little bit tricky.Overall, the place is a little bit dark, reminds me of a regular pub open during daylight hours ? Good amount of seating with Wi-Fi and power.“
“Love these people. great seating area, great sandwiches, everything they have on the menu is good. Affordable. If I ever leave my current company even if im not in oakland anymore I'm still gonna come back here. They remember your name“
“I really liked the food which I ordered. Had an amazing French toast. It was really unique in taste . Apart from this , ordered Benedict which was perfectly cooked .Service: 3.5/ 5Patio gives really nice vibe. However, we need to order at the counter. Weekend is really busy. I would suggest to go little early than busy timingsAtmosphere: I really liked the patio. But restaurant should have dedicated team to clean up the tables etc mainly at weekends“
“Hornitos are very good but outside the restaurant there is a woman who sells tamales and the other day I went to buy tamales and pupusas and I told the woman to give me salsa and curtido because that's what pupusas carry and first she told me they were $18:00 dollars and once I was there and I asked the woman to give me what the pupusas contain, she charged me $3:00 dollars more because I had asked for the sauce and curtido, but at no time did she tell me that she was going to charge me extra until that he had already put them in the bag ?️ and he told me that everywhere they were already charging me separately for everything and I told him that that was not true because I buy pupusas in several places and that nowhere did they charge me extra because that is with what goes with that meal.“
“Definitely get the lemongrass beef and grilled pork sandwiches and the marshmallows from hello kitty and get the V iced coffees the service is lovely the food is amazing and everything is very beautifully displayed; I need to come back and try more items like their bao and fresh rolls. Thank you especially to the staff for being so kind!“
“Have been coming here since 1999 but stopped for a while due to Covid restrictions. Ordered the Bacon, Mushroom and Avocado omelette and boy it was sooo good. My nephew ordered a Club sandwich and it was excellent. Customer service is excellent, as well. Prices are not bad for the food quality, portion size and tastiness.Plenty of parking and wheelchair accessible“

“The Lorraine's cafe food truck was at my work today and I have to say it's the BEST fried chicken I've ever eaten. The breading was crispy, loaded with spices and flavor, but layered on thicker than the substantial hunk of meat which was perfectly cooked to juicy, mouth watering perfection. I may have to track this food truck down again!“
“This is one of my favorite tea/boba places. They have a great variety of drinks that you don't see at many other places. It's a small place with no indoor seating. You order on a tablet and the staff make everything in a timely manner. I tried the egg pancake for the first time and it was delicious. I loved that it is shaped like a boba drink! My go to is the mango pomelo sago because it is the perfect combo of sweet and tart. I definitely recommend anything from here though.“
“My husband and I ended up here on a whim and it was the best decision of the day. The staff upon arrival was warm and welcoming and they maintained the same level of service throughout the visit. The food, might I add I'm not a fan of restaurant Mexican food at all, was AMAZING. It could have been just what I ordered so I'll have to visit again and try other meals but the choice for that day was nopales, chorizo and eggs and it was phenomenal. The atmosphere for my taste was 5 stars because I love little hole in the wall places that feel like home vs hustle n bustle big crowded locations but taking into consideration I'm an introvert and my preference doesn't reflect the masses I opted for 4 stars. Highly recommend if your in town.“
“This was our first time in today and the people who are working were so friendly and even gave us a waffle to try, the drinks were delicious, the chairs and atmosphere were comfy and relaxing, this will definitely become a staple for us in the neighborhood.“
“I was excited to find this place.The food was delicious, wait staff was friendly and I could tell from the energy of customers that came in that the place is a favorite for others.I had the egg scramble with the olives, hashbrowns and ordered a side of bacon. The bacon was crispy, just like I requested.“
“Milk tea with popping boba was good. Popcorn chicken was also good. It came out a little slow but it's probably because it's only one person working. We are coming back to try more for sureParking: lotsKid-friendliness: I would want my kid to go here“
“Rumi is as good as it gets around here. Coffees are great and the food is great. My family lives coming here too. I brought my cousins here and they loved it as well. My kids love the smoothies. Smaller place, but all of the patrons are deep in their converatiin and enjoying their time at Cafe Rumi. I hope to come here for years to come.“
