Farley's Cafe

Berry Smoothie was quick and one of the better smoothies I've had. Can't speak to anything else here.

farley's breakfast sandwich with bacon and mozzarella

No prices listed on items, so I had to carry each over to the register to ask how much they were.

Good coffee for airport! Got a cortado, and much nicer than other stores in the terminal. Would go back!

Speaking from personal experiences. Frequent visits at Farleys always comes in clutch.
Coffee is hit and rich and the Avacado toast is always a delicious light start to my travel day.

Cinnamon roll wasn’t good but was still expensive.

4:17 pm … I ordered a croissant warmed up.
How can you go wrong? Well… It did!
The inside was cold and the whole thing tasted like a piece of dry bread.
Definitely among the top three worst croissants I’ve ever eaten in my life. A serious waste of six dollars.

Traditional cafe, a few steps away from Tay Ho Oakland Vietnamese Sandwiches Soups and Bowls (unsure if they have plant-based options). Offering two self ordering kiosks or personnel to take orders, it has a clean layout, but I saw they have an up charge for ALT milks, $0.90. Yikes? I don’t do early breakfast but this place would work in a pinch. I’d try their avocado toast maybe. Spendy because it’s the airport. NOTE: I skipped it this time, nothing looked super tempting.

If you are stuck in this part of Oakland Airport make the hike to somewhere else for coffee. Understaffed, mediocre coffee, industrial strength stale croissants, bad.

The hike away is worth it.

Horrific breakfast sandwich and cafe au lait for $20. Amazing how little these places can deliver for so much.

Probably the worst cup of coffee I’ve had in a long time. Do they ever clean their machines? Burnt and overly acidic. This belongs to management and owners. Will say my wife liked her Chai tea. If you’re desperate, might work.

BLTA is epic, if you don't mind a bit of wait. Actually edible airport food.

I know it’s just an airport coffee shop and these are first world problems but actual Farley’s outside the airport is so good and this one sucks. Giving Farley’s a bad rep. Croissant is literally at least a day old, dry and stale. The person who made the latte literally just let the milk steam, over bubble and then just dumped it into the cup with a shot. Just hot milk over espresso. $15. I just want my money and calorie count back.

On Monday, July 7, 2025, the same Hispanic woman everyone has been complaining about treated me very poorly, disrespected me, and even threatened to call the sheriff just because I told her she was being unfair and rude. I came over for help because the drink I wanted wasn't on the menu. She yelled at me, saying I had to order using the screen and that the drink was listed there. After searching for five minutes and not finding it, I told her I needed help, but she yelled that she was very busy and I had to wait. Then, someone got in line behind me and was immediately served without any problem. When I asked her what the difference was between me and that person, she angrily snapped at me, saying if I was done talking, she wouldn’t serve me and I should leave. She threatened to call the sheriff on me. It was an absolutely degrading and humiliating experience. I strongly advise against going to this place. This incident happened around 4:10 p.m. on July 7th 2025 I don’t understand why management keeps this employee after so many bad reviews that seem to be about the same person.

My go to. Fiesta bowl and Berry smoothie. It's expensive but it is quality and doesn't make me sick
