The Friday tasting was a wonderful way to meet coffee lovers. Drop and espresso was offered using the coffee selected for that day. Cupping only on first Fridays.
Great coffee and a great experience to learn about coffee and meet people in the area! Note, it isn't a cafe but I highly recommend people stop in at 10 am on Fridays for their free tasting!
Best coffee in the bay!! Friday tastings rule. Thanx for the great coffee and info!!

Counter Culture Coffee Training Center is a unique space dedicated to coffee education and tasting. Each Friday at 10 am, it hosts free coffee tastings that attract coffee lovers and curious visitors alike. These sessions are not typical cafes; instead, they take place in a well-lit, training-lab style environment where visitors can learn about coffee in a friendly and approachable setting. During the tastings, participants sample different coffee versions, such as a blend sourced from India, and sometimes enjoy tea pairings. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to share their passion for coffee, explaining processes like Swiss Water decaffeination and guiding guests through tastings with clear explanations. Visitors can pour their own coffee from dispensers and help themselves to mugs and oat milk, making the experience relaxed and informal. The space offers a fun, educational environment where guests feel like little baristas for a moment. With easy street parking and a cozy, bright atmosphere, it’s an excellent spot for those interested in coffee or looking for a fun, low-key activity on Friday mornings. Overall, Counter Culture Coffee Training Center combines great coffee, valuable insights, and a welcoming vibe, making it a hidden gem for coffee enthusiasts.
