9 Best Coffee Shops in Emeryville

“This place is the best! Keeps it simple: Pastrami sandos and a few other items; all done well; always ready when you get there to pick it up.

Folks who work there are super friendly. Couldn't ask for a better sandwich shop. Plus they're open early so you can grab and go on the way to work. Dad's Mustard is my choice, but no choice is wrong at this spot.“

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

“Best breakfast burrito I've ever had.“

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

“Love this Starbucks!! One of my favorites. Staff is so nice and always friendly.“

“This little shop just outside the Emeryville station has the biggest croissants I’ve ever seen… literally the size of my head before it was squished. The bacon, egg and cheese croissant sandwich was absolutely delicious.. The guy who runs it was very friendly and did not get upset with all my questions. For the massive sandwich which fed two people as well as a medium cappuccino, my total was just over $15. Not a bad deal, considering I’m in California.“

“The BEST homemade empanadas with a variety of flavors - the new poblano mole is to DIE for and they said a new birria flavor is coming soon! The staff is so nice and makes you feel like family as soon as you walk in - they also make pastries and fresh smoothies/juices that are delightful (no added sugars, super refreshing!) It's a small, cozy shop with outdoor and window seating right next to the stanford hospital so it's convenient for me. Will always come here when i'm in the area and get a dozen to take home for the week!“

“This is a hidden gem! Vy’s homemade lemongrass tofu banh mi are the best banh mi in the bay! I’ve never had such good tofu banh mi, including in my travels throughout Vietnam! After I tasted her banh mi, I immediately returned to buy another. I even brought my family here when they visited from out of town.

Vy and her father are also kind, friendly, and welcoming. Truly amazing service and great prices. Their thai tea boba and their special happy hour deal is great.

TLDR: this spot is my new favorite and is a must try!“

“This location isn’t a typical cafe that serves coffee but is open on Fridays weekly at 10am for a free coffee tasting. I dropped by as they were serving a blend sourced from India as well as a tea pairing.

Staff here is super informative / friendly and walks you through the tasting. Glad I was able to make it to one of these sessions!“
