Very clean, great service, and welcoming environment. I love the ambiance and vibe. I a coffee with their home made syrup and I loved it. I'll definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

Silky foam, great coffee. The service is lovely. The interior is a bit cold/uninspired, but the people and the coffee make up for it. 4.5 stars.

Very good burnt cinnamon cappuccino. Also Kashmiri chai.

Great little coffee shop. There's a bunch of locations in Oakland, but I come to this one the most because of how often I crave it on my walk to BART.My usual order is a burnt cinnamon latte or a chai latte. The burnt cinnamon options have a nice amount of flavor without being overly sweet.

I have found heaven at Modern Coffee. The Kashmiri Chai is so good ! I have been going there quite often now. I'm not a coffee drinker but understand that they do a great job in that department also, especially the Burnt Cinnamon Latte. My new go to tea spot in downtown Oakland for sure !!! In fact, I'm going today

I work across the street and when the timing is right (they open at 8am), I'll grab a coffee here. I like that they have unique seasonal flavors and the quality of their coffee is great. Sometimes I'm in the mood for something not on their menu since it is a bit limited (no sugar free hazelnut lattes here) but their dirty chais and burnt cinnamon lattes haven't disappointed me. They also have the best butter croissants if you're able to grab one before they sell out.

Great masala chai AND kashmiri chai! I think it's from Tiphu Chai. The scone wasn't great, but I'm mostly here for the chai anyway. Friendly service, good things come to the patient!

Had been going to this place since 2007 (when it was La Crema). Supported it through the pandemic by going every day I could. I like their espresso. But today I was asked to not drink my espresso there and treated poorly because I arrived at 12:50pm and the shop was closing at 1pm. Disappointing.

Great question ground three Chevy Black Star by the coffee pot is lavender iSpy phone number drive my car masala Kashmiri ice chai. Service is super good and friendly and good prices. They rotate specialty cafes.
Had a latte today for the first time. It was awesome. Staffs were very friendly. Happy to find this place!

Best coffee. If you're a Londoner and looking for a good flat white on your trip, get a cappuccino from here. Fast service; fair prices; and like I said: best coffee.

Seriously excellent espresso, and staff are always super friendly!

I want to love this place but too often getting poorly made cappuccinos tasting like burnt coffee covered under a layer of froth, like how its done at SB. And this happens while the owner is there. I walk by without ordering or get drip if K herself is not working the Marzocco. Not worth the trek for something i can get at any SB.

I was their first customer on a Tuesday morning. Wonderful customer service from the two baristas here. As soon as I settled down with my cup of coffee and a couple pastries, there were already lots of people coming in and out. There is only 10 seats and the cafe is small, but they are super quick with it. They definitely know how to control both busy and slow times of the day with excellent service. The blackstrap coffee isn't too sweet. Their pastries aren't directly made here and they can't warm any of it up, but delicious regardless. They sold out in their limited various pastries by 10AM today. Crazy! Oh! Not to mention, I love that as a business, they are still COVID cautious and require masks for anyone who is even coming in to just grab a coffee and go.
