I ordered an iced latte! Good. Definitely stronger, which is what I wanted! Also tried the banana loaf! It was delishhhhhh! Overall service was great. Very friendly. The shop looked very esthetically pleasing. Ambience seemed relaxing, very pleasant.

I used to always go here when I lived nearby. Now I’m a bit farther, and I decided to make the trek out to come back, and I am so so happy I did. The burnt cinnamon mocha is PHENOMENAL. Even better than I remember it. The vibes are great, laid back, the people here (including the clientele!) are all so nice….. one of my top coffee shops in the whole world.

Walking distance from my office and 19th street BART- this quaint coffee shop can be found within a big office building, if you don't want to walk around and enter from 18th (?). Currently they close at 1 PM but since I come in pretty early and often have early morning meetings, it doesn't affect me much.The staff are pretty nice. Sometimes there is a long line and since theres only 2-3 workers, it can occasionally take a bit but they work pretty fast. I usually just get a vanilla latte. What I like about them is that the coffees never too strong or acidic. And with some vanilla lattes, it can be too sweet but Modern Coffee's just right. I only wish they do those stamp cards since I come here pretty often. Pretty sure I'd be on my 3rd stamp card by now, at least.

They have amazing coffee with great barristas. Plenty of comfortable outdoor and indoor seating with modern music. Great location for coffee.

The burnt cinnamon coffee I had was so delicious. Ordering was so easy. I had so much help as a first timer to learn all the items and it was a ery quick turnaround. By the time I ordered, there was a line almost out the door. I felt like I had just stumbled on this great gem, but the line told me the secret was out!I am looking forward to trying more of their menu staples as well as the season drinks.

Stopped in here the other morning and got an almond latte and banana bread. The latte was good, the banana bread was better - ha! The banana bread was pretty solid and hit the spot and held me over for til lunch! Would definitely stop in here if I was on that side of the lake.

Delicious coffee! End of review.Kidding!The coffee is truly delicious here and I've had the pleasure of trying several different options. The Vanilla Latte, the Lavendar Latte, the Burnt Cinnamon Latte but my favorite is actually the Blackstrap Iced Coffee.All of the house-made syrups are so much better than the regular stuff, plus they always serve it with a smile.Add to that the fact that they are a truly genuine business that cares about the rights of all individuals, and you really feel the love oozing out of Modern Coffee!

I absolutely love this location! The view outside is enjoyable on a nice sunny day. The coffee tastes amazing and was made perfectly! The customer service was the best! The baristas were so warm and accommodating. I would move to Oakland just for this coffee shop!

Coffee was delicious and more affordable than most coffee shops in the area. There is a nice atrium that’s a great place to work next to the coffee shop and they serve you there if you sit there.

Coffee was sour even their cheap oatmeal couldn't cover it up. Besides that, brown haired register person had so much attitude because I didn't have a mask although I gladly took one once offered. Not sure why and the attitude continued when I asked about the beans. Word of advice, you're coffee isn't good to warrant that type of attitude.

Modern coffee makes the best chai in the East Bay. Both the Kashmiri and Masala are excellent.
