25 Best Coffee Roasters in Oakland

“People keep asking on Reddit for good cafes to work at in town. Good Vybes is the spot, lots of sunny space to work in or outdoors. The Vybes are really good, if you're having a bad day, you'll find something that picks you up here. It's also one of the best tasting cafes in town. Mr. Good Vybes has some serious coffee knowledge. The text blasts are very informative and keep us in the loop of some great deals. The rewards are also banging. Just go.“

“I’m highly recommend it ..I’m here every day“

“Awesome place to shop! My “go to” produce market for incredibly fresh produce, fruits and dry goods. Great meat and fish market. Superb bakery. Excellent wine shop, And Market Hall pasta shop/main market is simply amazing in SO many ways. Plus, super easy parking and good hours ... important to me and a for real plus. Love this place!!!“

“By far the best coffee in my opinion. Not only do they have the best coffee, but their customer service is absolutely amazing. Olga and the entire team always make sure to treat every customer with nothing but respect and smiles. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure every customer is happy. Must try coffee.“

“This place has been open for a whole year and I'm just now visiting! I ordered the bananas foster latte, hot per Lena's recommendation and it was so good. They have a bunch more yummy flavors and I look forward to coming back to try more. They have food options here as well, a beautiful spacious interior with plenty of seating, and lots of community flyers and events up. Really nice place to work or just kick it. RnB music bumping too. Thank you Soul Blends!“

“Nice small coffee shop, the coffee is quite good. They can improve their hours, my only gripe is that they don't open till 8 which makes it hard to get coffee from them in the morning. Overall the coffee is good, I have been there a few times“

“Great service Clean Food was amazing“

“Really good coffees and pastries. They need one more person at peak times. Glad it’s gotten popular w all the dog folks.“

“The staff at this coffee shop are incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. They’re great at teaching you how to make your own coffee and find the perfect drink for you. I’ve been a regular here for a while now, and they know exactly what I want every morning. If you’re in the area, stop by and grab yourself a cup of coffee. The owner is always happy to chat with you.“

“I’m not a coffee maven, but the tea and sweets were excellent. (My friends who appreciate good coffee say that it’s excellent as well.) Good service, even in the face of an exacting clientele.“

“Came here to check out Tierra Mia in Oakland on Broadway and it definitely lives up to the hype. The vibe inside is super chill—rustic but modern, really spacious with plenty of seating, and just a great overall atmosphere to relax or get some work done.

The drinks are next level if you like Latin inspired specialty coffee. The Horchata Frappe is a total standout, perfectly blended, refreshing, and has that authentic scratch made taste. If you want something hot, the Coco Loco Latte is incredible with a really rich, tropical coconut flavor that pairs perfectly with their espresso.

You also can't skip the pastry case. The Hazelnut Kouign Amann is an absolute must try, super flaky, buttery, and the hazelnut filling adds the perfect amount of sweetness.

Service was super friendly and fast, and they have reliable Wi-Fi too. If you’re in the area and want a great coffee spot with an awesome environment, this place is definitely a must visit.“

“Great pastries and coffee!“

“Chef Mel is an amazing chef and we have a fresh delicious healthy menu and amazing coffee & cinnamon rolls.“

“Vegan bakery with many offerings: donuts, cookies, pastries, coffee and tea. Very limited options that are gluten free, which is the only downside. The baked goods have great flavor and texture. The baristas do a great job with the coffee. I recommend if you’re in the area“

“So I just recently tried the dark roast k cups by Peerless, if you enjoy strong tasting coffee then these k cups are for you. They are by far my new favorite k cup……. I highly recommend“

“I like bikes, I like coffee. Two great things that go great together! They roast on site, and the beans they sell are good. The espresso drinks are good. The pastries and food items are nothing too special. They have fun schwag and bicycle tire patch kits. Bike racks are on the sidewalk immediately outside, with large storefront windows so it's easy to keep an eye on your things but I've never had a problem here. Location is convenient to Jack London Square.“
