Cute and convenient location! No WiFi but room to work.

Great place. Will definitely be back. Bagels are closest to NY bagel I’ve had in the Bay Area. Staff is great. Very friendly. @Timothee review, “tall white guy” is really a sweet person, perhaps it was you or an expectation of what “friendly” should be. Others, don’t be dissuaded. Great environment, food, space & tables, local art. Try the lime, club soda, espresso drink (forgot the name) but it was really good. A new fave!

I came in this morning to grab tea for myself and another person, and another person came in right after me and asked to use some napkins. The front counter person was so rude and disrespectful and told the person to leave. It really is quite disgusting to see a black woman treat another black woman that she doesn't even know with complete and utter disrespect as if that person was less than human. Was it really going to negatively impact your businesses to give out a napkin? Because I gave her pne from my pocket and my wallet wasn't impacted. I will definitely NEVER come back as a customer. You all are a disgrace to your community.

Edit 11/01/25: Some of the most nuanced flavoured lattes around. Had their banana bread and pecan pie lattes, which really taste accurate and impressively are not very sweet.

Typically coffee shop in Oakland. No qualms. Got a coffee and a morning bun—both good!
