Best pastries in the East Bay, maybe beyond. Pick anything and it'll probably be the best thing you've had in a while.

This small coffee shop is the neighborhood social spot. Right next to the Laundromat, you can have a coffee and relax.

Older woman who typically bakes the pastries called me a "marica" loudly ? but their foods good so I guess go if you're straight?

Hands down my favorite cafe in the east bay. Great coffee (including whole beans), incredible food, and service that feels like friendly chats with your neighbor, because it is.

Coffee quality seems to vary day by day; most days it’s weak or burnt, though sometimes it’s brewed well. Prices for the baked goods are astonishingly high - double those of nearby (world class) Arizmendi. I live in the neighborhood so it’s convenient but I don’t get “neighborhood cafe” vibes from the service.

Mushroom sourdough bun was phenomenal. Crispy on the outside soft on the inside and super flavorful. Yum!

Great coffee and good pastries. Nice littleOakland gem.
I was so excited to try this place but overall it was a letdown. The coffee was mediocre. The Khachapuri was excellent, the mushroom sourdough bun was an undercooked ball of mush and the guava cheese pastry was not good. All the cheese oozed out and there was a brick of cold guava paste in the middle. I’ll definitely get the khachapuri again but not eager to try anything else

Great drip coffee! I wish I had asked what beans they used. My stomach is sensitive so I don’t drink coffee often but this 12 oz drip I got was so flavorful! Also some very tasty pastries, my friend and I got the caramelized onion and mushroom croissant and I definitely want to try the guava one the next time I go. Friendly service and a cute neighborhood spot. Not really a sit down space, but they do have outdoor seating for people to use while they wait or if it’s just two of you. Great place to grab coffee and a bite and then take a little walk by the lake.

I bet it was nice before covid. Order at the door. The help clearly don't want to be there. The sullen blonde boy just stands and stares at you or walks away, rather than instruct you to swipe your card. When not actually taking an order, the help slump un a line of chairs, fully engaged in their phones. Not welcoming at all. Maybe worse, the pastries are ALWAYS burnt. Seems someone would think to reduce the heat by 25 degrees. ...or take them out earlier. I come by every week because the coffee is decent. I keep my hopes up for improvement!
