50 Best Cafes near Moraga

“Very good food nice place and relaxing atmosphere 👏❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

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

“A great place to go work when you have a lot to get done. More outside spots than inside so its better on a sunny day. Its open late which is great. Never issues with the wifi bht limited charging spots.
Drinks are very yummy.
No designated parking so you will have to drive around for a spot.“

“Good coffee, good food, and a great focus on the community- with plentiful seating and great ambiance. All around, a fantastic place to get some work done or socialize, with one other feature I've never encountered in other cafes or restaurants: a bathroom with a full BIDET. A truly unparalleled luxury. Spend your time and money here.“

“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!“

“This place saved me & my two friends on our 11 pm post-concert food hunt. Got the Shawarma Arabic, Chicken Gyro, and Beef Shawarma plate. It was a 6/5 for all of us. Served with tzatziki and red chili flake oil + 2 banana peppers.... super flavorful, affordable, chill staff. Beyond worth it. Some cool Egyptian decorations. Only downside is sparse seating close to the door, but that's the norm for east bay. first eats in oakland!! loved it!“

“Great atmosphere, extremely friendly, and delicious food. Shout out to the strawberry lavender matcha latte, very tasty. Just the right portions, didn’t leave hungry but didn’t over eat. Vegetarian friendly with substitutes. Some of the most refreshing water I’ve had.“

“Very good cappuccino: not just a small latté. Lox, egg, capers, on gluten-free toast was well done. Lots of Palestinian baked goods.

Nice corner location on Shattuck. Great light and solid wood tables. Outdoor tables too.

Order in-person or by touchscreen.

The EDM playing is on the mellow side.“

“Amazing service and amazing ambiance. The rolls are HUGE and delicious. They are also beautiful and vibrantly colored with the different types of rice wraps. The atmosphere is something straight out of a lo-fi music video…“

“Had my first Ethiopian breakfast! It was really delicious and I got some guidance about how to eat it. Got decaf spiced tea and my daughter who can’t have dairy got an oat milk with honey. And there’s a cozy rocking chair. Such a lovely neighborhood place.“

“100%recomendado lo mejor el café ☕️ super rico 😋 👌 lo mejor muy bonito el lugar“

“I am a regular at this local and family-owned business, and I will say that this place DOES not disappoint.
Located right off of Foothill, it's at a prime location where you won't miss it -- because the coffee shop is right on an intersection.

The first time I went here, I was immediately blown away by the smell of the cafe de olla. As you can imagine, having a craving for it would have instantly brought me to it -- and it did. The owner, Sal, is always so welcoming each time. There's something about the coffee shop with the art and her energy. Their cafecito is one of the best in Oakland. She'll even ask if you want milk and sugar in your cafe de olla (when some cafecito places don't). Not just that, they also make the different pastries and arroz con leche from the kitchen (and from local sources as well).
They also make tamales as well -- from what I've heard! And their chilaquiles are also the BEST as well.

I would give this place a try when y'all have the chance!“

“I am so grateful that we finally have a late night chai/street food spot in east bay. Chai & co located at 2115 Pacheco st, Concord is a wonderful addition! We had the anda-shami royale, samosa chaat, and fresh naan khatai from khalifa (if you know, you know). All items were excellent and authentic! The space is well decorated with board games available and most importantly clean! We can’t wait to go back and work our way through the menu!“

“Loveliest cafe with wonderful espresso drinks and best bagel dishes in town. My favorites are the cardamom Rose latte and the brusco bagel (thin mortadella slices with honey drizzle and pepperoncini). Dominick and Andie are lovely. Dog friendly outdoor seating but limited and in the shade, so might be a little cold so bring light jacket“

“Great view of Coast Guard island !“

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

“My kiddos and I love this location. Staff members are friendly, place is clean and welcoming but best of all the boba is fresh and tasty. I love the match with the strawberry jam. Wish they had strawberry cold foam, but other than that this place is perfect!“

“I order my Highwire Coffee online, being that I live in Nevada City. While I love my local Foxhound Coffee, I found that Highwire's 'Bauhaus' coffee is beyond exceptional and I have to have both Bauhaus and my local coffee in order to function properly!😍☕️“

“Town Fare is excellent. Just ate here at their last Sunday brunch which happens monthly. It was buffet style. Chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits were superlative. The location in the Oakland Museum is super stylish and classic. This restaurant needs to be supported.“

“Great local and family owned coffee shop. It's small but we appreciated the space and the wonderful service very friendly and she made our breakfast sandwiches to order. They take cash, Venmo, and Zelle just a heads up but that wasn't an issue for us. Would highly recommend to anyone.“

“I placed a mobile order for pickup and completely messed up my own order by accident. It was just one of those days. I accidentally ordered one coffee with two flavors instead of two separate coffees with one flavor each. I was honestly embarrassed when I realized what I had done, but the barista was so kind and gracious about fixing it. They were clearly SO BUSY but she didn’t make me feel bad or make a fuss about it at all. Of course I paid for the second drink and took responsibility for the mistake, but I really appreciated her patience and great customer service. I wish I had asked for her name. Thank you again!“

“This review is on their coffee. I’m a coffee snob for health reasons, bad coffee burns my UT. Red bay, High Wire, 4 Barrel, bird and bear is my standard. So if this is your vibe be reading.

So, the coffee is ok. Not bad but not impressive. They use Costco milks. So from taste point of view. It’s already boring without even drinking it.

I had a sourdough Breakfast sandwich. Ingredients were pretty standard, but it was pretty tasty with some hot sauce and ketchup.

Coming here is more of a “I need something now” vs “I want a tasty treat”

I will be back as they do have some other great offerings.

My search for great coffee in this area continues.“

“This hidden gem in san leandro offers amazing flavors with great quality, the service is spectacular, short wait for the food, they also serve lunch all day which is great for those getting off work in the early morning, not sure what they put in the food but be careful cause it will have you coming back for more. Definitely recommend.“

“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“

“Ben, Aza, Gemma, and the whole gang at Sasha Coffee are the absolute best. We come here at least once a week, and there’s no better spot for a quick coffee, pastry, and friendly conversation. Our dog, Murphy, loves it the most — he always wants to come say hi and get a treat! Thanks for being such a great neighborhood institution, Sasha Coffee! See you next week!“

“Love this spot! Pressivo Cafe has great coffee and really good vibes. The drinks are always on point (the Habesha latte is a must), and the staff is super friendly. They also have tasty food, smoothies, and vegan options. Perfect place to stop by or hang out for a bit. Highly recommend! ☕️“

“Estubo delicioso el almuerzo 💯 recomendado 👌😋😋😋“

“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.“

“Cozy cafe with sidewalk seating on a calm street in South Berkeley, and creamy cakes and pastries - what's not to love? The Persian pistachio cake was an instant hot, my family is now asking how to buy a roll of the cake (not just a tasty slice) to bring to friends' gatherings.“

“Wonderful customer service from start to finish. Everyone was warm, attentive, and made me feel welcome right away. When I ordered my drink, they even asked if I wanted Valentine’s flowers added on top, which was such an adorable and thoughtful touch. I passed, but it made the experience feel personal and kind. My drink was excellent, and the level of care they showed made the whole visit memorable. I’ll happily be back. ❤️“

“Good attention good sandwich“

“Awesome chill space to catch up with someone. All kinds of flavors so you don’t even have to like kava to find something you like. Melo Colada was heavy on sweet/colada and I loved it. Melo Chai and Cream were also delicious. Go for happy hour 3-6pm I believe for $2 off drinks“

“Great vibe, wonderful service and Delicious products!“

“The classes are fun and energetic, the staff super nice, and I love getting to grab a healthy snack after class!“

“OMG, I think my sister and I just found our new favorite place! My sister was the one who discovered it, and the menu instantly caught our attention, so we had to try their drinks. We both ordered the Pandan Cream Cheese Thai Tea and were completely mind-blown by how delicious it was. I’ll admit, I struggled to choose because everything of their drinks and food looked so good. We were definitely not disappointed, and honestly, the drink might have been the star of our little fridate hangout!

If you’re in the area, please give this place a try. Not only are the drinks amazing, but the interior is super cozy too. It’s a great spot to chill, work on your laptop, read a book, or just hang out. We’ll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu!“

“One of my favorite places“

“I catered a small surprise party from Toastique for my husband's 50th. The plans were last minute, but Linh was most helpful. She worked with me to sort through options, and helped me come up with a menu that worked well for a Sunday brunch. Loved the toasts we ordered (avo smash, greek and pb crunch) and the fresh juices were an absolute hit. The fruit platter was oh so good. Everything looked beautiful! Linh was very flexible and delivered on time.“

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

“$8 per person gives you access to over 800 boardgames! You aren't able to leave and come back, but luckily they have food and drinks (including beer) if you get a hankering for something! The staff was friendly and the pizza was good. My husband's beer ended up getting a bug in it and they so kindly replaced it! We will be coming back.
P.S. free parking on the street after 6pm“

“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.“

“Incredible experience. The staff were genuinely kind and humble, which made everything feel even more special. You can tell they really care about what they do—the coffee was expertly made, and the sushi was some of the freshest and most flavorful I’ve had. Truly impressed. Highly recommend.“

“Had a delicious mocha here this morning😋😋😋“

“So good, really enjoyed the chicken wrap and that almond croissant 🥐❤️‍🔥 Croissant is unbelievably good ( and I mean it, as I lived in Paris and I do know the real thing taste ) So now it’s my « To go » favorite place to grab food for lunch !“

“This hidden gem in downtown Oakland is everything you hope for in a true mom-and-pop restaurant—and more. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine warmth that makes you feel like part of the community.

The lunches are simply outstanding: hearty, nourishing, and clearly made with care. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared and satisfying without being heavy.

What really sets this place apart, though, is the heart behind it. The owners are incredibly friendly and take the time to connect with their customers, creating a welcoming space that goes beyond just great food. It’s the kind of place that brings people together and makes downtown Oakland feel like a neighborhood.

I can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“I walked in, I was welcomed by the warm and cozy atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The space is inviting, with a charm that reflects Filipino hospitality—genuine, friendly, and full of heart. The owner and staff greet you like family, and the vibe is perfect whether you’re meeting a friend or just enjoying a quiet coffee break. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer.“

“I have been here a number of times and every visit just gets better and better. Their coffee is the best you can find in the area. Their lunch specials are all amazing, especially the beef with injera. It's the perfect amount of food for a great price, and the staff is so friendly.“

“Nothing but love for this place. When I was house hunting in the area, I would stop here to grab a bite and talk to myself. How fortunate would it be if I can come here all the time?

That wish came true

I usually go for their mocha which has a little less weight than other mochas but it seems lighter so I guess I’ll take that as a win

All their baked items are amazing and you will definitely balloon if you eat them all every day lol.

But seriously I’ve never had a strawberry and cream scone until this morning and I ate it so fast I could not even take a photo to put it up here. I can never have a scone at Starbucks ever again.

They have a six dollar breakfast sandwich, which is an English muffin with eggs, cheese, and a home made spread. You can add bacon or sausage if you want, but I usually don’t.

At some point, I’ll stop filling up on breakfast and bakery items and leave enough space to try their sandwiches and soups which I hear is excellent“

“Amazing waffle & flavour and lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend you check them out!!!!!“

“This is hands down my favorite coffee shop! The coffee here is consistently amazing. You can taste the care and quality in every cup. The owner goes above and beyond with customer service and truly cares about the coffee he serves. You can tell he takes pride in every detail, from the beans to the presentation. It’s rare to find a place that feels this personal and welcoming. Highly recommend to any true coffee lover!“
