“I recently visited Roaming Bean Coffee, an outdoor gem that exceeded all my expectations! My drink was perfectly balanced with rich, smooth flavor and delightful frothy top. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. Overall, Roaming Bean Coffee is a fantastic spot for coffee lovers looking for tranquil outdoor setting!“

“Mille-feuille extraordinaire! I could tell upon viewing everything it was going to be a gastronome's extravaganza. Since it was my first visit I had to start with the benchmark comestible, a plain croissant. It was exquisite with the perfect balance of butter, and flaky exterior. I will be back. It is l
'il Paris indeed!!“

“It is close to Ashby Bart Station. They have all kinds of sweets and drinks too. I like the decorations too.“

“Came in for brunch and had the foul here...was BOMB!! As an Eritrean who did not normally care for foul I have had my mind changed completely after eating here. Go support this local family business. Good vibes good food and good people 👌🏾😋“

“We got a Vietnamese latte, Mexican mocha, chorizo burrito, and chipotle sandwich for about $26. The sandwich was sooo fresh, flavorful, and practically melted in my mouth. The burrito was smaller than I’m used to, but it was also amazingly seasoned and delicious! Both drinks were smooth, flavorful, and tastefully sweet without being overpowering. The service, atmosphere, prices, and food are all 10/10 and make me want to come back daily.“

“A clean, well-lighted place for exquisite coffee, tea and pastries. They owners (very nice people) are very particular about their coffee using high quality beans from Ethiopia. Their decaf espresso is delicious. They have mocktails too.“

“Went here a couple of times, coffee shop is located inside a beautiful historic building. I got a matcha latte and it was overly sweet for my taste and the pastries were definitely not made same-day, but it's one of the only coffee shops in the area — would still suggest a visit for the vibes, and maybe try their specialty coffee drinks!! Located super close to Touro University, good for studying or getting work done.“

“A go to spot to journal and read! Reasonable limits around laptop use to keep the vibes cozy and prevent people from hogging the few tables that are there. A huge delectable luxurious variety of chocolates. Be ready to invest in quality! Lovely lovely workers, easy to converse with, kind and warm hearted.“

“Their coffee is really good, and the coffee beans are from Yunnan. No matter which coffee you order, you can taste their care. They also constantly mix seasonal coffees and roast the coffee beans themselves. I recommend this coffee shop not only because I am from Yunnan, but also because it is really hard to drink such carefully made coffee here. Most coffees are produced on assembly lines, which is a waste of time.“

“The Line is the perfect example of good (great) things coming in small packages. Coffee is absolutely delicious. The pastries are made fresh daily, are things I haven’t seen anywhere else (multiple sausage in puff pastry options, multiple quiche options, and interesting sweet options), and everything I’ve tried has been awesome. (I can’t stop thinking about that chocolate muffin or the polish sausage, I must have them again)“

“First time here and loved it! The chicken wrap was so good. Staff were friendly and even gave us cheesecake while we waited — really nice of them. The space is cozy, perfect for hanging out. Food is fresh, drinks are not too sweet — just right. I’ll be back for sure!“

“Awesome place to shop! My “go to” produce market for incredibly fresh produce, fruits and dry goods. Great meat and fish market. Superb bakery. Excellent wine shop, And Market Hall pasta shop/main market is simply amazing in SO many ways. Plus, super easy parking and good hours ... important to me and a for real plus. Love this place!!!“

“Revising this form my initial review, but the coffee is often either very good or just not so great. Never worse than three stars, sometimes five stars

The pastries I’ve had aren’t worth it though but again aren’t terrible“

“Awesome coffee place! I had a strawberry match and was wonderfully surprised to see the barista making the matcha from scratch with homemade strawberry syrup. My partner had a cremada, which was also great! 100% recommend and we can’t wait to be back.“

“Amazing coffee and pistachio dessert. The friendly guy at the counter recommended mufawaar coffee. It was a combo of community and college kids. Warm atmosphere. I only wish they had ceramic coffee cups. Totally worth it though for the taste overall.“

“This is some of the best matcha I've had in a while! I recommend the bar seating to watch the matcha being made fresh in front of you. There are a small number of tables inside the cafe but on a nice day there's seating available outside.“

“I visit this bakery every time I visit Oakland from Compton. The tahini date latte is my go-to joint. This time I had some homemade savory scone from heaven. But what I like best about the cafe is the spirit of kindness and community they provide for humanity. They simply want justice to win for everybody. I’m in. ✊🏾❤️✨“

“I've booked this venue twice for work events (team offsites, strategy planning retreats) and have had nothing short of the best experience both times! The Sway team is extremely professional, responsive, and accommodating -- even arranging the furniture to fit all of our day's activities, and providing coolers for drinks that we brought ourselves! The location is great -- close to many restaurants for breakfast/lunch options and neighborhood parking all day. We've loved using this beautiful space and couldn't recommend it more.“

“Kudos to the crew at Thornhill Cafe. Thank you for always taking good care of me. I love your green smoothies. They're refreshing and just make you feel good and your breakfast bagels are awesome. It's my favorite place to stop when I'm working in the hills of Oakland. Doesn't seem to matter how many people are in there. You still get us in and out in no time. You're the best!!“

“Shocked and amazed by this awesome little coffee shop. I discovered my first highwire coffee in oakland. this one operates out of an old airstream trailer co-located with a plant nursery. Not a lot of outdoor seating, but the coffee is great, the pastries are fresh, and the service was reasonably friendly.“

“Wonderful place! ☕️ The coffee is excellent – rich and flavorful. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, creating a cozy atmosphere. Everything is clean and well-kept, making it a pleasant spot to relax. 🪑🥪 The sandwiches and snacks are fresh and delicious, with great salads and smoothies to choose from. A perfect mix of quality, comfort, and service — definitely a place you’ll want to come back to!“

“It's hard to get really good chai in the SF area, so Elaichi was a great discovery. Their chai is great, whether dairy, oatmilk, hot or cold, their cardomon buns are a treat, and the atmosphere is calm and respectful. Every time I come to Berkely I stop in.“

“HERCULES is a great place to live crime rate is low compared to other cities . But it would help a lot to encourage neighborhood watch “ MODESTY ASIDE I DO . I have knocked to several houses esp when I was still working swing shift I kept my eyes open n still doing it if garages are open when I go hone from work n 1 time called the police station when 1 of the neighbor’s garage was opened n no one answered when I knocked her door . Let’s have a neighborhood watch all over “ HERCULES THIS IS OUR HOME AND WE HAVE PROTECT IT AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE WHO LIVES HERE . OUR CITY OFFICIALS SHOULD BE TOUGH LIKE ( MANILA PHILIPPINES ) MAYOR FRANCISCO DOMOGOSO HE MADE N MAKING MANILA A NICE PLACE TO LIVE IN . MANILA IS HOW MANY TIMES BIGGER THAN HERCULES !! HE WAS JUST A MAYOR FOR 7 MOS BUT MADE A LOT OF CHANGES NO WONDER PEOPLE LOVE HIM SO MUCH NOT ONLY IN MANILA BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD .“

“Just discovered this place. The foos was great and so was the service“

“I've been coming to Souvenir cafe since it opened. It is a gem in coffe shop landscape of the Bay Area. It small with comfortable seating. I enjoy studying there or seeing friends. The staff is very friendly and the drinks are well prepared. My Oatmilk Matcha latte is always excellent and the pastries and small dishes are fresh and crunchy. They close relatively early at 5pm so I make certain to come early enough to really enjoy myself. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for cffee/tea and more!!!“

“This place is the best: Great bagel sammies and smoothies, and quick and friendly staff! We hit up Lucia's to kick off our day trips with a quick bite on the road, before a day out on the Bay, and for those crucial morning-after pit stops to bring us back to life.“

“The perfect stop in Hercules, with a gorgeous view of the water. Had a taro milk tea, a chicken empanada (get the chimichurri!) & a guava alfajor — all delicious! The seating is only outdoors & is limited but it is a spot deserving of your business. Fast service & fantastic food & drink in a beautiful spot — what more could you ask for?“

“Excellent food and customer service from the staff and owners Dave and Carol. Best red chicken curry and chili!“

“By far the most creative and exquisite coffee drinks! Plus Pepples vegan donuts!! Danger Will Robinson...addictive And live music on Sundays.“

“The EGG CUSTARD COFFEE (less sweet) is absolute PERFECTION! What an incredible treat!

On our first visit, we ordered at the counter and found plenty of seating for a shop of its size. The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient.

We loved it so much we had to come back after failing to find egg custard coffee anywhere else outside of Berkeley. The second time, we ordered online—our drinks were ready in no time, and we even got a text when the order was complete.“

“Fabulous assortment of specialty coffees and a delicious food menu. My favorite go-to is the quiche!“

“The Hidden Cafe is a true gem in Berkeley! The atmosphere is incredibly inviting, with a cozy library-like interior and a lovely outdoor seating area overlooking the park. The pastries are delicious, especially the sweet potato brownie and the vegan options. The coffee is excellent, and the Kokuto Latte is a must-try. I especially appreciate the friendly staff and the welcoming ambiance. To elevate the experience even further, I recommend The Hidden Cafe consider using Tuneast to create a unique music space. With Tuneast, you can easily curate playlists and allow customers to vote for their favorite songs, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to this already wonderful cafe.“

“Love love love all their empanadas ! Ask for extra hot cuz they often get served warm. Just don’t burn your mouth! The drinks are mostly made with a powdered packet which is fine but underwhelming. I appreciate the vibes and kind staff! Great location for co working and spending hours on their wifi haha“

“The BEST coffee I've ever had outside of Italy. A variety of rich, complex, nuanced roasts, plus a strong freshly brewed cup in-store. I have loved and been loyal to them since 1988 (formerly Royal, where the kind owner Michael was a baristo)“

“Exceptional multiroaster with a great rotating selection and highly skilled baristas.“

“I live their expert roasts!“

“And a wonderful Yoly who is very welcoming, has a great laugh and makes good food and coffee👏😘👍“

“My wife and I stumbled into Drift for the first time last Sunday while spending the weekend in Wilmington for a comedy show I did. Absolute great coffee and a fantastic brunch. Bought a bag of beans for home, and the coffee I’ve had the last two days is out of this world. The coffee is rich and flavorful. I can’t wait to get back to Wilmington so I can go to Drift. Java Junkie approved! Thanks, Beau Johnson Java Junkie Comedy @bjohnsoncomedy“

“It's a cafe! Smells like coffee. Great service.

Parking: Outside seating nice spot to drink your coffee

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure? I walked up stairs. Plenty of room. In the restruant.“

“I found this gem on my way to Vallejo and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! This has an Oakland vibe, the smoothie was all organic, the açai bowl was fresh, and I could tell they probably source their ingredients locally. I loved the music as well! Finally, the shop itself had a cozy vibe. Love this place and will be back!“

“Such a super cute eclectic, locally owned coffee shop mixed with a boutique full of local treasures. Loved the food + drink options and the super chill vibes. We cozied up in the comfy seating area with our drinks before heading to the Bay for a hike, and I couldn’t resist browsing the locally made jewelry and clothes. Even played a game and pulled a few tarot cards before heading out.

I had the iced Ube Rose Latte (floral with rose petals on top 🌹) while my hubby enjoyed a delicious Coconut Mocha. We also shared a warm, flavorful empanada — so good! Service was friendly, and the little outdoor patio out back is adorable. Love supporting a local mom + pop shop, especially when the owners are there sharing their passion with the community“

“It's a little shed in a parking lot with seating nearby. I can't get over the horchata latte, treat yourself. The baked goods from Acme are exceptional as expected. Can't believe I didn't know this place before. For a drive-up, we didn't feel rushed.“

“Great service Clean Food was amazing“

“rode our bikes for some fresh french press... the best dark roast on the planet 🌎“

“The best place ever. Love them ❤️ 💕“

“Good speciality coffee with clean, cozy and ornate environment!

I was firstly attracted by the exterior of the cafe when we were driving. It’s a Middle Eastern-inspired cafe that sells Turkish coffee and pastries.

We tried the ice Yemeni latte and ice hibiscus tea. The latte is unique with flavor of cinnamon and cardamom. It’s aromatic, smooth, and not too sweet. The tea is refreshing, lightly sour and naturally sweet. Love them both! And I wish the tea is larger, so refreshing!“

“Hal’s is IMO the best cafe in Albany - all the baristas not only serve beautiful, delicious oat cappuccinos but they also create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes u want to stick around. If you’re lucky they’ll be brewing a fresh batch of chai and your nose will wonder if you’ve died and gone to heaven.“

“Love their Blanca Breve and Sandwiches!“

“Delicious coffee ☕️, I love how the decorations are set up for this season!“
