Coffee and food were unbelievably mediocre. The chai shouldn’t even be on the menu. It’s a singular tea bag with milk. Literally tastes solely like water and milk. Had them make a mocha instead, coffee was burnt. Vietnamese coffee was also terrible and had a line of unmixable condensed milk on the bottom. I also ordered two sandwiches which were terrible. The quality is poor and this is some of the saddest coffee I’ve had in Oakland. Definitely needs some major improvements.

Went it and the barista didn’t come out for 5 mins and told me to enter my order into an iPad. I mistakenly selected the cash option instead of card and he reprimanded me for it. Just walked straight out.

Great little place for breakfast, lunch, or to sit with a coffee. I got the croissant breakfast sandwich and it was amazing. Iced coffee was also great, and for a great price.

This place is so charming. I ate on the back patio and it felt a nice sanctuary.

Great food. The server ( owner ) was a little smug and stand off-ish, but the food was great

Lillian Senior

The food is really good but the service was not customer friendly

On limited time so I stopped and got a breakfast bagel and dang it was really, really good! If I ever pass through this area again this is the place I'll stop at for more.

Love this spot for morning food and coffee on the patio and the adjacent cinema/brewery for evening events. This is an Oakland gem, and we need to show the owners as much support as possible.
