Good iced vanilla oatmilk latte and nice workers. The pizza focaccia is also good but greasy. Consistent.

The coffee here consistently surpasses that of any other establishment I've visited in the Bay Area. Its quality is reliably excellent. I regularly commute from San Leandro specifically for a butterscotch latte, though I can attest that every item on the menu is of exceptional quality.

This place has really high-quality coffee and makes some really creative drinks as well. Oakland itself has a lot of good coffee, shops, but the other part that makes this place stand out is the atmosphere. It’s a nice blend of an Italian coffee shop, ordering style and an American flare on it as well. We don’t come here every day, but we come here when we want a really good cup of coffee and be in a really cool environment at the café.

Always a warm welcome greeting. I like that there is something new on the menu every time I visit. Local support and the vibe is very Bay Area with just the right amount of new modern contemporary esthetic. The coffee is warm and delicious, not commercial. The location is perfect and put you right in the heart of Downtown Oakland near all transportation making this a location where you can either sit and chill ir get it and go. Easy to access and ADA friendly.

An absolute must visit when in Downtown Oakland. The Cafe by Mr. Espresso has been on my ‘East Bay Coffee Heads’ collection since day 1!
I really love how they collaborate with local chefs in the Bay to create fun drinks that reinvent just grabbing a cup of coffee. In 2023, I first visited and tried their limited Orange Creamsicle Cold Brew topped with cold foam and candied orange peel. I was immediately hooked!
Gosh, I was so sad when that item came off the menu. I almost hesitated to try their new collabs going forward because I knew I would be so heartbroken when it was the end of the collab period.
I’m super grateful that their Cold Brew Tonic is one of their staple menu items, because it reminds me *a little bit* of the orange creamsicle cold brew in terms of acidity and fruitiness.
Another absolute banger of a drink that they released was the Sago’t Gulaman Iced Coffee in collaboration with Harold Villarosa. I was lucky enough to try it on a Friday so I came back the next day and ordered three to go to save for the next few days since they’re closed on Sundays.
I had the opportunity to enjoy my coffee there the other week and tried their newest drink— White Choke-Late! Who would’ve known that sunchokes could pair so well with coffee.
The bar-style ordering is also quite interesting. It creates a very casual atmosphere between the customers and the baristas which I adore! Everyone is always so helpful and super quick to prepare your drinks. Even when there’s a huge rush, the team always seems to be so level-headed.
I absolutely recommend enjoying your drink there if you have the opportunity to. The vibes are immaculate, the drinks & pastries are top tier, and the service is excellent.
Say hi to everyone, even the owner, i believe his name is Luigi. He is so kind and helpful & always looking for feedback whenever he’s there.
Thank you to The Caffe Team for always producing consistently high quality coffee & other drinks!

Nicely designed shop, with counter seating. Coffee is good, but the beans come out a bit bitter for me. Food was basic pastries. So overall 4 out of 5 for me.

i cross the bay for this coffee shop and that’s all you need to know
My partner who has very high coffee standards really liked this place. I am here for the aesthetics and a solid cappu.

Nice, clean shop to stop by on the way to work. Not much seating, so you'll likely have to order takeout or have a quick espresso standing counterside. Espresso tasted great!
