50 Best Coffee Shops near Orinda

“Love Orinda Peets....☕“

“Since this Cafe is so close to my house, I love taking my friends here when they come visit. The town of Orinda always gives me this feeling of leisure and grabbing a bite at Cafe Teatro helps to calm my mind. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available but I prefer outdoor for the sense of serenity (and because I get to look at my motorcycle while I eat). Love the Melts and Espresso here!“

“Buen servicio y los empleados muy amables 👍✌️👍✌️“

“Came in for brunch and had the foul here...was BOMB!! As an Eritrean who did not normally care for foul I have had my mind changed completely after eating here. Go support this local family business. Good vibes good food and good people 👌🏾😋“

“Had a wonderful experience at EL TINY CAFE. The café had a cozy, welcoming vibe, and the coffee and food were fresh and flavorful. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for a relaxed and charming coffee stop!“

“OMG!!! Time stopped as I bit into a donut savant cronut for the very first time. I live in N. Sacramento but I am fantasizing about the next trip to #oakland. You people are truly doing god’s work here. Carry on😋😘🙏🏿❤️“

“I recently visited Roaming Bean Coffee, an outdoor gem that exceeded all my expectations! My drink was perfectly balanced with rich, smooth flavor and delightful frothy top. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. Overall, Roaming Bean Coffee is a fantastic spot for coffee lovers looking for tranquil outdoor setting!“

“It is close to Ashby Bart Station. They have all kinds of sweets and drinks too. I like the decorations too.“

“So beautiful. So delicious. All the pastries look like works of art. I personally love the Horseshoe and Jalousie pastry. It’s not too sweet, wonderfully flaky, and very flavorful. The coffee is authentically strong which I really enjoy. The staff is welcoming and friendly. I truly enjoyed visiting and can’t wait to come back!!“

“Love this little shop! So convenient and they always have fun seasonal flavors like basil syrup. I normally do some sort of matcha and theirs is one of the best in the area. Made properly and with customizable sweetness. The baristas here are always super friendly and quick as well!“

“The iced mohka house latte and spanish lattes were perfection. If you like your coffee a little sweeter go for the spanish latte. Service was very friendly and I didn't sit inside but the vibe is nice. Will be back for sure. Please create your own site so we can order pick up directly instead of through 3rd parties!“

“the place is very nice plus the view across the street is like a gigantic mirror ! you should see it for yourself !!! it really is something to look at while having your coffee.... it is spectacular !!!! and of course, the staff were super sweet !“

“Petit Cafe is a hidden gem! The warm ambiance, delightful pastries, and rich coffee make it the perfect spot to unwind. The staff are friendly, and every visit feels like a little escape from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommend!“

“Prettiest coffee shop imaginable! The coffee shop itself is a vintage airstream and it’s parked within a really beautiful garden store. So you can sit and have your latte amongst all the beautiful plants.

I got a special treat this morning and chose the seasonal cinnamon mocha latte. It was absolute perfection.

And the people working there are super nice“

“If you're looking for a fun and diverse set of chocolates to try then this is the place. I only took a pic of one portion of the options available and I'm told the selection grows during the holidays. I can't wait to come back and explore more options.“

“I'm a recent customer here, about 6 weeks, but in that time I've tried to make this coffee shop one to visit often. The selections for food items seem interesting, but I'm a chai latte kinda guy, and this the staff does well. It's a neat, clean, and well ordered establishment, and the staff is friendly, and accommodating. A good place to frequent.“

“#AmazingCoffee #RedBayCoffee 🥰🥤🧋☕🫖“

“The best place ever. Love them ❤️ 💕“

“Great local and family owned coffee shop. It's small but we appreciated the space and the wonderful service very friendly and she made our breakfast sandwiches to order. They take cash, Venmo, and Zelle just a heads up but that wasn't an issue for us. Would highly recommend to anyone.“

“Got the salmon scramble with sriracha <3 was so good and the place is very clean and the staff are so welcoming“

“sourdough croissants, the corn cherry and oat scones, sundry shortbread flavours that are always exquisite...and today, a new treat, a lil pizza" bakers special" with kale and mojo and crust texture inexplicable, beyond magic. ✨👍🏽✨“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“Arguably the best brews you’ll find in the Bay Area if you like high end specialty pourover! Masterpiece sources from Chinese roasters like Big Sur and Gout & Co, which are really at the top of the ultralight specialty game at the moment. These roasters are trickier to access at the moment from the US, so it’s awesome to have a shop serving them so close to home.

Masterpiece’s brews are well dialed-in, and there are great milk drinks available for folks who don’t drink pourover.

A bit hidden away, but well worth a trip to visit if you’re a coffee lover in the Bay Area!“

“There were three in my party. We ducked in here to take a break from the cold rain. We ordered a chai, a golden/turmeric chai, and a caffé latté, all with oat milk. It’s our first try of oat milk. We all liked it a lot. The foam on my golden chai was lovely. I’d reorder it anytime. I tried my mate’s latté with oat milk, I can recommend it. The pastries we ordered were all worth the consumption. I’m so glad there was one pretzel cheese bun left. It was delicious even though it wasn’t warm. I highly recommend them. We also ordered a quiche, a chocolate croissant, and an almond pastry. They were all superb. The almond pastry which was super light and flaky tasted like baklava more so than an almond filling. I liked the vibe here. So often I want to grab my order and split, not here. I felt fine taking refuge from the outside environs. The staff were sweet regardless of their spoken English being nearly impossible to understand. It was cool assuming they were part of the refugee program. It felt good being a patron there and the inspired conversation it led to. I am sure my party was surprised I was already knowledgeable about the topic on current refugees. That made our café and conversation time only that much more enjoyable.“

“A clean, well-lighted place for exquisite coffee, tea and pastries. They owners (very nice people) are very particular about their coffee using high quality beans from Ethiopia. Their decaf espresso is delicious. They have mocktails too.“

“Best avocado toast evah! I love it“

“I’m highly recommend it ..I’m here every day“

“By far the most creative and exquisite coffee drinks! Plus Pepples vegan donuts!! Danger Will Robinson...addictive And live music on Sundays.“

“This place is the best! Keeps it simple: Pastrami sandos and a few other items; all done well; always ready when you get there to pick it up.

Folks who work there are super friendly. Couldn't ask for a better sandwich shop. Plus they're open early so you can grab and go on the way to work. Dad's Mustard is my choice, but no choice is wrong at this spot.“

“Vegan Donut Gelato is PHENOMENAL! My wife and I loved our brief stop this week. The donuts are massive and well worth the price. Friendly service and the woman who served us was great. Highly recommended!“

“Hal’s is IMO the best cafe in Albany - all the baristas not only serve beautiful, delicious oat cappuccinos but they also create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes u want to stick around. If you’re lucky they’ll be brewing a fresh batch of chai and your nose will wonder if you’ve died and gone to heaven.“

“The best! That's it. If you're looking for some authentic Ethiopian food, cooked with love and tastes like it, do not skip on this Oakland gem. The women who run this restaurant have the most beautiful spirit and smiles. Nothing fancy, just simple and perfect. Enjoy and only share this place with positive folks with good vibes.“

“Love love, love love love this place cannot say enough good things. All the patrons are fantastic and at night they have an incredible next level dancing Friday night house music come join. I have been getting down proper and would love to dance with more folk holy cow it’s on tonight by the way Happy Valentines.“

“This place is very lovely. Super chill, zen. They even have a little water fountain on the side, super tranquil, love it! The macha is made fresh, the store is air conditioned (because who can drink macha in this heat!?). Great spot to get your drink, chill a bit and recover.“

“People keep asking on Reddit for good cafes to work at in town. Good Vybes is the spot, lots of sunny space to work in or outdoors. The Vybes are really good, if you're having a bad day, you'll find something that picks you up here. It's also one of the best tasting cafes in town. Mr. Good Vybes has some serious coffee knowledge. The text blasts are very informative and keep us in the loop of some great deals. The rewards are also banging. Just go.“

“Nice small coffee shop, the coffee is quite good. They can improve their hours, my only gripe is that they don't open till 8 which makes it hard to get coffee from them in the morning. Overall the coffee is good, I have been there a few times“

“I love this place. Honestly, my favorite thing is their house curry. It tastes like a warm, home- cooked meal. SO so yummy. I keep coming back for more and more of it. I can’t believe no reviews have mentioned it yet. This place is worth visiting just for that curry alone.
The coffee is also spectacular. My go-to is the kokuto latte — perfectly balanced and tasty.
To top it all off, it’s located in the perfect spot— an amazing park filled with amazing people. This place is the best!“

“This is the best, best, best place. Even picky teens lick their plates clean. I want everyone to go so they stay open, but I also want no one to go so it's not too busy for me to get in. Ha! I have loved everything I have eaten or had to drink, the space is large yet inviting, and the proprietors are the nicest people you'll ever meet. Just go, even if it's just to grab one of their fancy coffees.“

“the baristas and service staff are always so nice and accommodating
atmosphere is very calm, great for getting work done, and the outdoor seating is great for 2 person convos
when i was sitting awaiting my sandwich expecting a somewhat modest sized unit then the barista brought out this zilla i was pleasantly shocked
a staple of pill hill and oakland telegraph, close to the frequent 6 bus“

“Honestly, this place is a hidden gem 🔥 The food and coffee are seriously amazing, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing, perfect for hanging out with friends, having a date, or just enjoying some quiet time. The prices are great too! If you haven’t been here yet, you’re definitely missing out. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“I live their expert roasts!“

“♿️Cafe has a wheelchair accessible seating, entrance and toilet. Seating available outside in front of the cafe, in the cafe and in the back patio .

Wonderful family run cafe. Popular with many Glenview elementary families in the mornings before school. Excellent selection of coffees, teas and breakfast pastries and bagels. Great to sit inside or outside. And nice spot to get some work done. Customer service is personal and so kind. As we are regulars, they recognize our son, and they always say hello to him.

Parking: Street parking on Park Blvd varies. Sometimes easy to get a spot in the morning if needed, sometimes a bit challenging later in the day.

Kid-friendliness: Very welcoming

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible entrance, seating and restroom“

“Kind and welcoming staff. Told them we are doing a tour of all the Yemeni coffee shops around. Good times.

We got an orange blossom mint latte and a knafeh cheesecake to share.

Best decision for 10pm Berkeley. Both were well made and enjoyable.

Coffee was a touch on the sweeter side, NBD.

They put a dried orange slice and mint cluster on top. Cute.

5/5 will come again.“

“I loved the flavors they are unique and exciting.the flan strawberry croissant was so good. I also had coffee almond croissant and ham and cheese croissant. I must go back for the unique flavored ones. I left w crumbs on my face… i didnt realize until my
Optometry appointment. I had a great time eating pastries here!“

“I like to sit at the sidewalk tables in the morning with the sun shining and I always enjoy the friendly banter w staff. Try the Wu Wei tea! Wu Wei. You could look it up :) And the cortado! Peace.“

“HERCULES is a great place to live crime rate is low compared to other cities . But it would help a lot to encourage neighborhood watch “ MODESTY ASIDE I DO . I have knocked to several houses esp when I was still working swing shift I kept my eyes open n still doing it if garages are open when I go hone from work n 1 time called the police station when 1 of the neighbor’s garage was opened n no one answered when I knocked her door . Let’s have a neighborhood watch all over “ HERCULES THIS IS OUR HOME AND WE HAVE PROTECT IT AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE WHO LIVES HERE . OUR CITY OFFICIALS SHOULD BE TOUGH LIKE ( MANILA PHILIPPINES ) MAYOR FRANCISCO DOMOGOSO HE MADE N MAKING MANILA A NICE PLACE TO LIVE IN . MANILA IS HOW MANY TIMES BIGGER THAN HERCULES !! HE WAS JUST A MAYOR FOR 7 MOS BUT MADE A LOT OF CHANGES NO WONDER PEOPLE LOVE HIM SO MUCH NOT ONLY IN MANILA BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD .“

“If you're a tea-a-holic or simply in the mood for some truly great tea this is the place for you. All the variety you could ask for and then some and the nicest welcoming owner who is happy to share her without a doubt professional experience and knowledge of tea and everything related to it. And did I mention the ambiance? Classical music, lovely decor and absolutely a delightful experience overall. We had a wonderful time, thank you "Sophie's Cuppa Tea".“

“This is a small walk in and order at the counter coffee shop. We ordered the John’s Mocha and the Green Eyed Lady (with rose added), both with almond milk, and they were absolutely delicious! Everything was perfectly balanced and so flavorful.

The people working here were also incredibly sweet and welcoming, with such an inviting demeanor. You can tell they genuinely care about creating a great experience.

This place is definitely going to be a favorite of ours in Berkeley going forward!“

“Have been wanting to try this place for a while. We got the Karak chai with oat milk and a Kashmiri chai. Love that they have oat milk options! The 2 were absolute perfection! Parking won’t necessarily be easy as it’s downtown Berkeley. The cafe was spacious but is pretty packed with students and customers. We found a small table outside which was nice. Also, we took some karak chai blend home and have been enjoying it :) would definitely recommend!“

“The delightfully friendly staff serve up truly delicious caffeinated concoctions...a wonderful way to start the day.“
