An amazing local spot for coffee and conversation. I visited Oakland and a good friend and native insisted that we stop by. I'm so glad we did!!! It has an awesome atmosphere and real baristas making real drinks. Our batista was cool, skilled and sociable. We had a great conversation while he made our drinks real time! In a world where coffee is made by machines, it was great to have the human touch!

The coffee and bagel were good, unfortunately the cashier was rude. I felt like I was inconveniencing the workers there. Not very warm and welcoming, won’t be returning.

When I'm working in Oakland, this is my go to coffee shop. The staff are absolutely fantastic, warm, and welcoming. They're also accommodating to a remote worker who is tired of being at the desk in a hotel. A few of us were posted up while working, sipping delightful coffees and teas. Lox & capers on a toasted everything bagel is my favorite.

Top tier coffee spot; one of the best in Oakland and the Bay Area. Lavender latte and Ube latte are incredible. Top class service.

The coffee is pretty good but the shop itself has no wifi. A good number of seats (maybe at least 5-6?) with outlets though.
