50 Best Cafes near Moraga

“The service and the food are top notch. Our server was friendly, courteous and accommodating. He raved about the owners who are excellent bakers and chefs. Outdoor dining space is really nice and everyone used their PPE except when eating. I had their avocado toast on a very generous slice of homemade sourdough batard, crusty on the outside and chewy goodness on the inside. I swear they gave me an entire avocado all sliced up evenly atop lemon goat cheese spread, and then topped off with a drizzle of olive oil, sea salt, cracked pepper, and a touch of arugula and pomegranate seeds. I asked for a side of egg which they served perfectly soft boiled with a hint of sea salt and cracked black pepper. They served this dish with a cup of fruit and this cup of fruit is not ordinary. It had Fuyu persimmon, red grapes, cantaloupe, and strawberries. Their coffee is hot and strong!!! The homemade sourdough batard toast was so good, I left with an entire loaf!“

“The food varies day to day, but the drinks stay. If you like coffee, they have good options, if you like smoothies, they have you covered. The workers are friendly and helpful. There are plenty of tables, and comfortable chairs. A nice place to study or hangout between classes or when the cafeteria is closed.“

“This place is really cool. Parking wasn’t bad, but I came early, there was lots of street parking available. Outdoor seating that is covered, plants outside, indoor seating with long tables as well as bar seating in the window and at the counter. Full bar, great Irish coffee, no Wi-Fi but they have the Oakland Public Wi-Fi available and that worked well for me. Definitely would come back. Music was bangin too.“

“Wowzer! What a nice place. Everything is homemade. I wanted to sit outside and the staff person carried a table out to the sidewalk. I ordered an Americano and a blueberry scone. Scones are a great indicator of an excellent baker, and this one was excellent. It was light, moist and full of fresh blueberries; so good in fact that I ordered a meat pie to go so I could have it for lunch. It too was exceptional.“

“I am sipping on Ethiopian spiced chai and munching on a croissant with turkey, egg, cheddar and avacado. This moment is perfect. Perfect taste and temperature. Thank you Jebena Cafe. You just earned a regular. May all black owned business thrive and when that happens, we will truly have earned a celebration of America's independence from its own past.“

“Absolutely my favorite little coffee shop. It’s ran by the most lovely brown mamas who’s loving energy radiates into everything they do. Super queer friendly and the most amazing Chipotle Sandwich and Cafe de olla around.“

“Vibes were immaculate, the drink I got was not.
I got an iced kinfolx latte which has cinnamon, nutmeg , brown sugar and organge zest.
I couldn’t taste any of that.
The espresso was very very strong so if that’s your thing you will like it!

But the vibes and the baristas were great!“

“Petit Cafe is a hidden gem! The warm ambiance, delightful pastries, and rich coffee make it the perfect spot to unwind. The staff are friendly, and every visit feels like a little escape from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommend!“

“Got Cafe De Olla organic coffee and a bomb azz breakfast sandwich! It’s fresh, delicious and clean eating. Perfect foundation to start the day. So glad I found this local cafe. Bringing the wifey and kid next time ??⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Cool drinks, yummy baked goods, awesome staff, sweet vibe. A real neighborhood joint with lots of great choices, including not just bona fide Vietnamese phin coffee, but also vegan and caffeine-free options. They also have boba, pudding, and jelly add-ins, with coconut, pandan, ube, and black sesame items. Just do it :)“

“I am surprised I didn't have a review for this restaurant earlier. The last time I came, I was obsessed the Next Level breakfast burrito, and I couldn't stop myself from getting it again! Their turmeric latte is delicious and worth the try. Have yet to come for lunch, but maybe next time I will get lunch. Breakfast ends at 10:30am, it looks like. There is seating outside at the parking lot, and it's covered if you'd like to sit and relax for a bit. While it's a small spot, it leaves an impression on you.

Parking: Approximately 30-40 spots but it also houses other businesses, and that can start to become crowded around 10am.“

“I like the espresso blend & the roast. Also, I like Highwire’s philosophy. From sourcing the beans to serving the coffee, thought is given to quality & environmental impact.“

“The best bahn mi I’ve had in the east bay!!! Fresh veggies, amazing flavor, hella vegetarian options!!! Also loooove the mint matcha. My partner is a big fan of the smoothies, particularly the almond butter one. The staff here are always so welcoming and kind. The vibes are great for a quick bite or to hang out and get some work done. Love this place.“

“We were in town because of the death of a friend. The staff here was so incredibly nice to us! They went above and beyond. We got breakfast and coffee here every day we were in town. It really felt like home. They remembered our names and our orders. We really felt like a part of the community. Big thanks especially to Eagle for taking care of us!“

“This was my first time eating here and I’m so impressed with the portions, prices and customer service. The owner/ manager I believe, is so friendly to everyone and I’ve never been to a small establishment that keeps checking on the customer about how the food is etc. I will be coming here instead of my usual trips to Peet’s coffee or Starbucks!“

“The avocado toast was amazing!“

“Such a cute place for Boba. They also have bamboo straws and are now offering hot drinks (and desserts?). The inside tables are rarely full and they have a couple of smaller outside tables as well. There’s a bathroom and the background music isn't too loud or annoying.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly“

“As a huge fans of acai bowl or any smoothie bowls, I really recommend this place. Among smoothie bowl places that i’ve been visited in Bay Area, this place has one of the most aesthetically pleasing bowls. The price is a bit higher compare to other smoothie bowl places, but it is worth it since they offer great variety of topping. The taste and the texture are okay. For me, I have anothe smoothie bowl place that I like more than this place in term of the taste, however, aesthetically-wise this palm-acai cafe is the winner“

“I get my nails done nearby and have been wanting to try this spot- today is my birthday and I have no plans so I decided to go next door grab a book and head over to have brunch. The restaurant is cozy and beautiful I love the plants the colors and energy very relaxing and inviting. I had my little dog with me in his purse and he was also welcomed lol. The staff are super sweet and patient. I ordered a tumeric ginger chai with 2 shots of espresso and an matcha almond croissant- amazing, a soya soya wrap- delicious and a cucumber mint lemonade with ginger beer. The food and drinks were so flavorful and fresh and the presentation was absolutely beautiful. I had a wonderful experience here and look forward to returning with friends or alone. Thank you!“

“Good place for to-go sandwiches and coffee because the place is small. I got checkin Pesto and Cappuccino, and both were really good.

Parking: There are plenty of parking. However, I am not sure if you have to pay because most of the meters are not working.“

“Made a random stop here last night thinking it was a bar. Turned out to be even better! The lady who served me was very patient and helpful in explaining Kava drinks to me (hadn't had them before).

After 2 and 1/2 Kava drinks, I found the secret to life!

Just to give you an idea of how good I felt... on my way home, I spent that time admiring flickering lights on storefronts as I made my way home. ?

If you're an introvert like me, this is definitely a place you'll want to check out. By the way, I have my introvert certification card so you can trust me when I say this spot is the spot! The open mic night was great and the people were all great!“

“Start to finish delicious! We used to go to her spot in the Fillmore District SF called Gussie's Chicken & Waffles. Had the Bloody Mary's Revenge and the basil ginger soda, deviled eggs, fried chicken & sweet potato waffles, and the fried chicken sandwich. You can run & tell everybody that this is the spot! DJ Mark Divita during Sunday brunch gave us the perfect musical pairings.

Parking: Parking garage underneath the museum.“

“the place is very nice plus the view across the street is like a gigantic mirror ! you should see it for yourself !!! it really is something to look at while having your coffee.... it is spectacular !!!! and of course, the staff were super sweet !“

“The delightfully friendly staff serve up truly delicious caffeinated concoctions...a wonderful way to start the day.“

“Overall good but not outstanding - other than service, which was excellent. To be fair, I went on a Sunday morning which is probably not the best time. Brew coffee was non-offensive. Aero-press unavailable on Sundays. Pastries were pleasant - not the best I've ever had, but nice. Good lemon scone and Cinnamon roll was decent. I'd recommend on a weekday if you are in the area.“

“This place is out of this world. Most importantly, the staff are so personable that I love making this my stop whenever I can. This coffee shop is not on my normal path, but I don’t mind at all coming to be taken care of like this! They brighten my day and are so warming. Their oat milk lavender latte coffees and omega doughnuts are also amazing. Cute set up for outside seating, to enjoy your treats. Don’t let the vegan option only shy you away, guaranteed to find something you love. Win. Win. Win.“

“great location downtown Oakland. price is good. Food is good.“

“A must place to eat and visit. Berkeley's best kept secret“

“There were three in my party. We ducked in here to take a break from the cold rain. We ordered a chai, a golden/turmeric chai, and a caffé latté, all with oat milk. It’s our first try of oat milk. We all liked it a lot. The foam on my golden chai was lovely. I’d reorder it anytime. I tried my mate’s latté with oat milk, I can recommend it. The pastries we ordered were all worth the consumption. I’m so glad there was one pretzel cheese bun left. It was delicious even though it wasn’t warm. I highly recommend them. We also ordered a quiche, a chocolate croissant, and an almond pastry. They were all superb. The almond pastry which was super light and flaky tasted like baklava more so than an almond filling. I liked the vibe here. So often I want to grab my order and split, not here. I felt fine taking refuge from the outside environs. The staff were sweet regardless of their spoken English being nearly impossible to understand. It was cool assuming they were part of the refugee program. It felt good being a patron there and the inspired conversation it led to. I am sure my party was surprised I was already knowledgeable about the topic on current refugees. That made our café and conversation time only that much more enjoyable.“

“Best coffee in NorCal, amazing staff. We love coming out to Oakland just for this coffee.“

“Good attention good sandwich“

“Delicious, friendly and affordable“

“Your Ocho Libre Decaf coffee is the BEST i have EVER had. So delicious, well rounded and flavorful! Thank you!“

“Chicken and waffles ? ? on point as always. I think I’ll try dinner next time.“

“Such a great vibe, beautiful local space, SUPER coffee and pastries, amazing service. Do yourself a favor and go if you are community minded and kind and love coffee and pastries.“

“One of my favorite places“

“I went there after Gameday at Cal. (Go Bears! ?) I got a BAT sandwich which was super good, the bacon was in-between crispy and chewy and the bread was semi crispy! I also got peach lemonade which exceeded my expectations! It tasted exactly like peaches, it didn't taste artificial at all! The service was very quick only taking about 5 minutes. The atmosphere felt cozy (except for paramedics being in front of the store front) !“

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

“Great view of Coast Guard island !“

“came here to get a oat milk latte, and it was more open and spacious than I expected very nice even though I was only there for less than 20 minutes. The atmosphere was amazing and plenty of places to plug-in if that’s your type of thing.“

“Hardest working cafe in Oakland! Lines can be long on weekends but the efficient staff churns along and smiles are everywhere. "E" for effort...and "P" for pastries! Terrific array of freshly baked goodies, including killer coffee cake. Don't forget takeaway - an impressive selection of daily salads, sandwiches, and soups.“

“Customer service is always welcoming, if you're social there's always a good conversation waiting or if you want to work with headphones on that's an option. The coffee or tea is great along with good food choices.“

“This is the only place I go for lunch by my job. The staff are friendly and everything tastes good...everything. My recommendation would be the breakfast burrito in the Morning and the and the egg salad sandwich or Salami Sandwhich for lunch.“

“All the people here: Paul, Dave, Mace, Elena, Matt, Joe, Misty, Rosey and Emily are great.

Dietary restrictions: They are willing to make the Southwest Chicken salad the way I like it. I only wish that they could get their decaf machine working☹️“

“I got the matcha green eye drink with oat milk and sugar free vanilla syrup. I honestly loved it because it wasn’t too sweet and the only sweetener in the matcha was the sugar free vanilla syrup which was perfect for me. It also has two shots of expresso which taste so refreshing. Overall it was a nice and relaxing place, and my drink was great.“

“Your Ocho Libre Decaf coffee is the BEST i have EVER had. So delicious, well rounded and flavorful! Thank you!“

“Best personal service ever. When. We walked in we were excited to try chocolate and as we tried those amazing flavors I have to say those were the best chocolates I’ve ever tasted in my life. Thank you for the kind service and great chocolate. We will be back whenever we pass through Oakland.“

“The espresso drinks here are delicious and very lovingly crafted. Great pastries too. The rose tea was a little too perfume-y for me but everything else I've tried has been high quality. Nice calm atmosphere for working or reading as well.“

“Yesterday was our first time here. Staff was friendly & helpful. Ordered a chicken rice plate, shrimp rice plate and a Gyro. All of it was tasty. We all agreed we would gladly eat here again. We sat on the street, watching the world go by while shoveling in the delishness. Affordable & we paid with card. Could use some fresh paint & some deep cleaning though. Bathroom needs a gut job reno.“

“There is always a special and every dish is made with high quality ingredients and presented beautifully! We’re so lucky to have this little gem in our neighborhood“
