Whoever works in the Oakland Airport Thursdays is rotten! She has been complaining about cleaning, slamming things around, rolling her eyes…terrible attitude!

My iced coffee was delicious. The sandwich was hot and fresh. The two folks working were quick and kind. The music was fun and the seating on the side was quiet and private. An actually great airport food experience. It is airport pricing. $28 for a fancy drink and sandwich (and $3 tip) isn’t unheard of anyway.

Avoid the drip coffee. I’m no coffee snob; it really is that bad. Hopefully just an off Tuesday morning batch….

I have to say I was so happy to see this place! I have not been flying out of Oakland airport lately because they just don’t offer the flight times I need for Hawaii anymore. So I was hoping for a good spot for a good coffee and an egg breakfast sandwich. These guys delivered ! When the online touch screen didn’t work a very nice lady quickly pivoted and took my order:). Everything came out in a timely manner. I love being able to support my local Oakland businesses! I will be back!

The latte was horrible. Tasted like hot milk.they were kind enough to allow me to exchange for a drip coffee. Which was acidic and not good also.

I enjoy going anytime. I fly out of the Oakland airport. Unfortunately the cashier is hit or miss, but other than that the coffee is great. The pastries were nice. I have never really had any of the real food but you know hey

I’m absolutely obsessed with this place and every chance I get when I’m passing through for work, I get the avocado toast. It’s almost like tradition for me to get it, it’s on the pricey side but I don’t mind because it’s so good and it’s the only avocado toast that I like.

Today around 5:30 this morning I ordered my usual, I noticed it came out faster than usual, but I didn’t mine, the quicker the better especially since I was headed to work. I noticed the toast was cold and it’s usually toasted with avocados and the works on top of sourdough bread. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go back to address my concerns because I had to go to work, but I figured I’d address it on the way back leaving the airport.

Once I returned, I explained and explained to the working crew (who two I initially recognized from this morning) that the toast was cold and I’d never had it served cold before.

The worker who made my toast told me that it’s made cold, I told him that usually it isn’t and I’ve never had it served that way. Then a young woman with a short pixie blonde cut chimed in and interrupted him and began to explain that their toaster sometimes put the toast out where “it’s lightly toasted” I told her the toast wasn’t toasted at all and she became passive aggressive with me stating I interrupted her and now she wasn’t gonna continue talking, but continued talking indirectly to me.

I asked if there was a manager available I was told that there wasn’t and I told by lady that was initially assisting me with my complaint that I felt like The other woman’s demeanor and her statement towards me was unprofessional and that I’d be leaving a complaint.

I’m really disappointed in the attitude and service I received today and I have a right to express invoice that. And I hope this statement reaches the manager because it deserves to.

Thank you all once again for getting me to over 10 million views.

I write reviews for businesses that are either awesome or terrible. The ones that are pretty basic, I tend to forget to write about 😆

If you'd like to keep up and see more of my reviews and pics, like and follow. Here's your review:

So first, this is a business collective. I remember being a part of the brainstorming meetings, attending the grand openings, and all the challenges this collective has faced and to see it still growing and standing and supporting local creators is inspiring 👏.

I loved hearing Bay Area music when I walked in. They are embodying the spirit of our community as a collective. I am so proud to have bought my Chai latte with almond milk and a Farm Egg breakfast sandwich.

They were very careful about my food allergies (pork) and spent time talking about the journey and history. I inhaled them before I remembered to take pics of the food 😆 but you can see what I ordered in the pics I did include.

This was a proud moment, and for anyone writing a bad review, you just don't understand the culture of Oakland and what this collective stands for. The struggle we faced keeping it all together over the many years supporting local artists, creators, and curating authentic Oaklandish vibes that keep disadvantaged people pushing forward with pride. Anyone complaining about rude service, you we're probably being rude and late for your flight. Had you planned ahead like I did, you could have taken your time and enjoyed the experience. A good morning and a smile and gratitude get you much more than rushing and being rude yourself.

Although I am a little biased because of knowing and experiencing the history behind this collective, if they had bad service, I would have told you. The service was the vibes, the music had me dancing at 8am, and it's 100% Oakland. I had to buy that water bottle to take home. And I'm grabbing clothes from the website when I get where I'm going.

It was refreshing to come home for a visit after all these years and see this. Hats off to Southwest Airlines as well for having so many local businesses in the terminal. Let's continue to uplift local creators and businesses with pride.

OAKTOWN!!!!! We so #Oaklandish

This is right after exiting security and the first coffee opportunity. I appreciate that they have multiple self-order kiosks, it made the ordering process really speedy. I also really enjoyed their strawberry mocha, which was apparently created by one of their baristas. I would drink it every day if I could!

Anita L. truly is the heart of this location. She also made the best caramel macchiato I have ever had in California. She is a doll!
