Staff likes to ignore customers (depending on how you look?) and serves cold coffee (not sure how they managed that). You deserve better.

in love with this place, have been coming for a few years now and I’m so grateful it exists.
The Xochi sandwich with slaw and turkey and crispy cheese is such a light but rich and acidic balanced go to of mine.
They may not have pour over but their drip is some of the best drip out there, tastefully executed each time haven’t had a miss yet.
They even have some seasonal unique one off that are always fun and tasty.

The backyard space is so so peaceful, they may not allow dogs inside but the dogs are certainly hanging all around on the outside !

It’s hip, comfy, tasty, peaceful.
the vibes are good.

The people working here are just simply mean to put it plain. They never greet me when I come in and they are always super rude and short with me. Today I came in and 3 girls working went straight into the back without saying anything to me or even acknowledging my existence. I just stood there for a few minutes with no acknowledgement. Then I jingled my keys so the guy making the coffees could provide me some serviceThis isn't the only time this has happened. This happens every single time I come in here. Just mean girls, rude guys, and coffee snobs coming together to gentrify Oakland and be horrible to people who give them business. That was my mistake, just even coming here... I wont be returning. The service and treatment from staff is disgusting and intentionally unkind and they don't deserve to stay in business!

Croissants were good, drip coffee was great and the atmosphere is chill. Prices however worse than a Starbucks or anything like that. Go once but not sure if it's worth coming back...

This is my favorite Cafe in Oakland. Born and raised in this neighborhood, and we have been needing a safe/ welcoming space where the community can gather and eat good food, and drink delicious coffee. The staff are super cool and helpful. Don’t sleep on their sandwiches😋.

Staff don't say welcome in upon arrival, but instead say you cant have your dog in here (Fair). Menu is limited and bland. Fancy grilled cheese had almost no cheese on it. More of a buttery sourdough with some really cheap ham. Back patio could use some organization. I don't really get why dog cafe is in the name other than there must be a limit of dog friendly cafes in Oakland. A wasted Saturday morning spot. Womp womp for us.

Coffee was great, but the workers seemed miserable to be there on a Saturday. I still tipped.

Matcha is the best in Oakland 🥹 (if you know better I’m down to try) the mushroom empanadas are sooooooo good and the back patio is super cute

A quaint little cafe with a few food options. Outdoor and some indoor seating.
