owner is super nice, and the chicken adobo sandwich is awesome. (as of dec 2025) only $11 too!

Such an enjoyable experience - beverage and sand which were delicious and staff was so nice. A small hole in the wall and I’ll definitely go back

I love this spot. I ordered catering from them a few months ago for an event in Downtown Oakland and the participants absolutely loved the sandwiches. The staff is super kind and was able to cater to our group’s dietary needs.
I was back in the Bay for a conference and finally got to try one. I got the pulled pork adobo sandwich and it was divine. The person working there was so sweet and gave me a water bottle for free when I told them that I was leaving for home!
I’m from the East Coast but I visit the Bay 1-2 times a year. I will absolutely make it a point to come here every time I come back to the Bay. I’ll be daydreaming about that sandwich until I can get another one!

Nduja sandwich is insanely good.

The pork adobo aroma draws you in as the kamustska sign greets you warmly. The staff provides nourishment alongside a compassionate good morning. Nothing quite like supporting local to remind you that it is more than okay to be present.

The pulled pork adobo sandwich is sooooo good. Salad was really fresh. And the owner is so welcoming and friendly! Highly recommend this place.

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.

We ordered catering for an event at work and Cafe Gabriela was amazing to work with–kind, responsive, flexible, and the food was absolutely gorgeous and soo delicious. I HIGHLY recommend their charcuterie boards, and their sandwiches (fantastic bread!) were also delicious. We're excited to continue going to them for our catering needs, and I'm excited to visit on my own as well!
Friendly staff. The 1/2 SANDWICH & 1/2 SALAD combo is a great deal for only $12. Very good value. I love that they cut the sandwich in half. It was tasty. The bread was nice and crunchy. I eat small portions and half of the half was filling for me. 😂 I can only imagine how big the full sandwich must be. 😮 I look forward to trying their Iced Latte and Iced Mocha, in the future. It's nice to see Half & Half offered as a milk alternative. I prefer my iced drinks Breve. 😁

I got the fried egg sandwich with turkey and tomato and it was literally the best breakfast sandwich i’ve ever had in my life. if i could give this place 100 stars i would. loved it here and highly recommend it. food came quickly and servings are nice, you could share this sandwich but you won’t want to. worth every dime +
