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!

My croissant was perfectly buttery and flaky, and my latte was bursting with flavor. The roast is a little brighter than I usually choose; next time I'll ask if there are options. The proprietor was friendly and engaging, and service was prompt. Only potential minus, at 2pm on a summer day all the seating was outdoors, albeit on a quiet neighborhood street. Would absolutely go back.

This is a cute little cafe in the neighborhood, I was pleasantly surprised to see khachapuri on the menu. It’s a Georgian pastry with eggs and cheese that I’ve only had when made by family friends.I had the lychee iced tea, it was great. Also cafe is very dog friendly since the seating is outdoor only, which is a plus for me.

Great quality pastries at high (top of the market) prices. Generally like rotating menus, but no way to check in advance and if you are going for something specific (let’s be honest the guava) you gotta just show up to find out if it’s in that day.

Lol I’ve gone here 4 times in a couple weeks. It’s amazing. Pastries are large, mushroom one is filled with flavor! Latte is pretty good, coffee strong. Expensive. And little cute seating. Really lovely spot.

Local establishment with good coffee and pastries. Outdoor seating. One block from lakefront.
There is no dine in, No wifi, and certainly not a good place to work on a laptop. Their google profile falsely claims otherwise.Huge bummer, was hoping to get some work done there; but there’s only outdoor seating and no bathroom. FYI there is no public bathroom at the quick stop, so y’all really shouldn’t tell customers that there is one.

Super cute corner cafe with great and affordable drip and cold brew coffees! Also great assortment of breakfast noms!

Coffee was great, pastries were awesome (they make them in their pizza shop). Vibe is a cool hipster coffee window. Downsides: no indoor seating or restroom, and it’s one of the least diverse places I’ve been to in oakland. A little pretentious, very Portland vibes. Would go again.

Great coffee. Pastries are amazing and all are made at their other location (leaning tower of Pizza). The egg croissant & mushroom bun are definite winners. Service was friendly and a one women show. The person who took our order, made our drinks, and warmed our food. This was fine as we were the only customers at that time, but i would imagine if there are 3 or more patrons you'll have a wait. They're only offering outdoor seating which made for a cold winter morning a little cooler. Really hoping they offer indoor seating again as the inside of the coffee shop looked really fun.

Great tasting neighborhood coffee shop, the menu could use a little expanding but the simple drinks that's offered are delicious.
