Great spot. Great coffee. That lavender latte is quite delicious and they do serve the famous Boichik Bagels here which was a nice treat. Outdoor seating only and can be limited. Regardless, the coffee and the people who work there will brighten your day.

Equator has the best black coffee I’ve had in the Bay Area. Rich flavor that warms your soul in the morning!The almond croissant is also delicious, baked fresh daily from Firebrand.The baristas here are warm and friendly, too! Overall a nice neighborhood cafe!

The staff is very friendly and nice. Can have a long wait at peak times, it's a good idea to order ahead using the app. They've never gotten my order wrong, and have occasionally offered discounts on baked goods at the end of the day.

Slowest coffee shop eveeeeeeeeeer! ? I've never been here and told that it wouldn't be a 15-20 min wait for a cappuccino. But today, I stood there for over 40 min and then finally lost my patience only to find that they had misplaced my order! ??? I was literally waiting for 50 min (I checked on my Google Maps timeline) only to have to wait another 10 min while they rushed to make my drink. A bloody _HOUR_ for a cappuccino! And they didn't even offer to refund my money, tip or even offer me a complimentary cookie as an apology.Never again! Next time, I'm going to 1888 Coffee Station down the street. ?

Waited 30 minutes and left because I didn't want to be late to work. Never got my coffee. The barista made herself an expresso before starting.

Came on a Sunday afternoon and had an amazing egg sandwich and really nice strawberry lemonade, my buddy had a coffee and Oreo donut that looked really good,Also the layout is really cool cause the large containerships and raised platform makes it feel like a small tucked away oasis away from the busy Oakland streets.

The service is always wonderful. The seating area is nice. Parking is not easy to find, better to walk if you can.

I come here for drip coffee and the FIREBRAND baked goods :) I nearly never get an espresso drink because the service is so slow. I think they should prioritize in-person orders before online orders, because you end up waiting around for a very long time if you place your order in person. For drip coffee, though, very speedy and good quality stuff! Nice little outdoor seating area, good vibes. In the winter you can ask them to turn on the heater too.

Their coffee is really good but their service is soooo slow. It takes at least 15-20 min for me to get my drink, even if there's few people around and it's just an americano. I wish they would prioritize in-person orders before the online orders.

Excellent coffee, great bakery items, and the service is always great! They always remember my name when I get there, I feel like a celebrity every time! Thanks, and keep it the same always!! ?
