This spot is so YUM! I love their salty dog latte, and both the breakfast sandwich and egg and cheese croissant are delish - the green salsa they serve with it is amazing too! Was $13 + tip for a speciality coffee and breakfast this morning, and I love to eat it outside by the lake. Everyone is chill and friendly too.

This guy really knows how to make a great drink. I REALLY love the pistachio cream coffee. He uses muddled mint as a sweetner!!!! Absolutely must try coffee spot. Only down side is he closes at 4. Totally understandable. I wish he were 24 hours 😆

We are extremely grateful for 1888. We appreciate their delicious breakfast sandwiches for $8! When we currently are surrounded by gouging prices, this place cares about the people in Oakland. We will continue to come here
Hands down my fav cafe in Oakland! For $8, you get a giant freshly made wrap ( I had to share it with my dog bc I can’t finish it myself) with homemade pickles, sour cream and homemade chimichurri sauce.
The other day I ordered an egg white sandwich with large chucks of avocado (actual huge chunks!!!) and lots of fresh veggies in a soft brioche bun. You can taste the freshness of ingredients (there really is a difference) Nothing is overly seasoned or greasy at all, which makes them great for kids or for folks who want to eat healthy.
They can easily charge $12 or even $14 for dishes like this elsewhere. But they choose to only charge $8. I really appreciate them being so humble with the pricing. For the coffee too, they use Alexander A2 milk but only charge $5 for a latte. You can’t find this price anywhere else with this quality. I’m so glad I live around the area so I can come often.

Excellent food but average coffee. Milk was scolding hot. 🔥

Great spinach quesadilla (with great side dressings) and vibes (right on Lake Merritt). Amir was really friendly and excited to come back

Here you get really good coffee from really good people. And added bonus is that their food comes from the restaurant next door and is delicious. Eat and drink here.

Delicious Turkish coffee-the signature drink was perfect on a chilly morning! Caffeine load was just what I needed & the service was friendly. Don’t forget to bring your own cup-lots of people were doing this for a discount
I got the 1888 Signature breakfast sandwich. The food was incredibly tasty and while not officially part of the establishment, I sat at a cute table next door. The shop itself is very cute and the staff and baristas are very nice. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 was because it was 10$ for the sandwich which I personally feel is a bit much for a breakfast sandwich.

I'm visiting from out of town and my brother recommended this spot for a quick breakfast sandwich. We ordered 3 egg sandwiches (egg and bacon on brioch) and I wanted the avocado melt because it sounded different than the options I have at home. I should have listened to my brother cuz there was a hair right in the middle of my melt.

Perfect pick up and go café across the street from fairyland!
Got the egg sandwich and the salty dog latte. The egg sandwich was delicious. Will definitely get again. Had more egg than I expected cause I’m used to cafés skimping on the egg, the picture doesn’t do it justice cause I smashed it into my pocket before a lady left so I could eat on the side. The salty dog latte is a perfect balance of sweet and salty great for the rainy day that I came on.
