“I order my Highwire Coffee online, being that I live in Nevada City. While I love my local Foxhound Coffee, I found that Highwire's 'Bauhaus' coffee is beyond exceptional and I have to have both Bauhaus and my local coffee in order to function properly!😍☕️“

“Absolutely my favorite little coffee shop. It’s ran by the most lovely brown mamas who’s loving energy radiates into everything they do. Super queer friendly and the most amazing Chipotle Sandwich and Cafe de olla around.“

“Best breakfast sandwich in the area, and best prices too!!
Today’s special was chorizo and I was thrilled they let me add chorizo as the meat option to the breakfast croissant.
This was the best tasting breakfast sandwich, truly cooked and assembled to perfection, and the service is friendliest in the town for sure. Thanks Dimond cafe!!“

“Super awesome place! Was traveling out of town and I got the prosciutto toast with arugula and caramelized onions, and it was great!

The best part was how awesome the staff was with my son. He wanted a mango and peach smoothie which wasn’t on the menu, and they went out of their way to help us customize it into something he would actually like and he loved it.

We’ll definitely go again.“

“This place is phenomenal, not only is the coffee exceptional, the staff is so warm and inviting. Visiting from out of state, I’m sad that I’m leaving because the two interactions that I had made me really want to become a regular here. I’ll be back house of phin!!! I’ll wear your merch with pride :) and if you want to expand to the east, I’ll be your guy LOL“

“I was driving by when I saw a big sign that said MEXICAN FOOD BREAKFAST so you know I whipped right around.

I couldn’t decide if I wanted red or green chilaquiles so they gave them to be divorciado— half and half. I also got a lovely vanilla iced coffee which ended up being HUGE— I took half home and put it in the fridge for tomorrow.

Everything was sooooo flavorful and the place is nice and cute and clean and the owner Samuel was so kind and patient. I felt like I got a lot of value for the amount I paid.

I’ll definitely be back!“

“100%recomendado lo mejor el café ☕️ super rico 😋 👌 lo mejor muy bonito el lugar“

“The best Brunch! Everything was delicious.“

“I had the pleasure of trying the lox bagel sandwich at Fairway Park Donut Shop, and I must say it was absolutely fantastic! This hidden gem of a place knows how to make a memorable sandwich. The lox was fresh and flavorful, perfectly paired with a soft, toasted bagel. The combination of cream cheese, capers, and red onions added just the right balance of flavors. It's a harmonious blend that left my taste buds dancing with delight. The service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance was cozy. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this place has got you covered. I can't wait to return to try more of their offerings. Fairway Park Donut Shop, you've won a fan in me with your delicious lox bagel sandwich. Highly recommended!“

“I just went to sujues a few days back .I order my normal small or large iced Carmel macchiato with whip cream and extra Carmel .it is one of my favorite drinks when I go there .The people are kind at the cashier area .I sometimes tip here n there because I like there place .they have the food and snacks behind the glass which I can see clearly .There prices are a lil high but it's the bay area Ca .I might go back again tomorrow for another drink. Small is $5.75 and a large is $6.92.I wish they were only $4-$5 but that's the price we pay for the best weather state in America and in the west coast .“

“It's basically a storefront at a small business park that serves Mediterranean food and a few American-style items too. The food is fresh and flavorful. However, there is no indoor seating, so it's either a take-out option or there are a few tables and chairs available under a sun sail in the parking lot.“

“I’m touring a condo in Oakland for a client making an offer and I stop for a quick bite at a tiny sandwich place next to the Grand Lake Theater. OMG, Unbelievable sandwiches, smoked meats, homemade pickles, peppers🫑 and memorable pulled pork, etc. I hang out for a few minutes while Jerry makes my Cuban sandwich, and he has me try their smoked bacon, homemade meatballs, and more. Jerry’s the best and I love this place. Can’t wait to tell my client about it!! Check out Modigliani Cafe, next to the Grand Lake Theater. #modigliani #localbusiness #Oakland #localgem #restaurant #sandwich #grandlakedistrict #holeinthewall #localjoint #bayareafoodie #pamparkerproperties #realtor®“

“Dawit is the best! Truly a great guy and great coffee, I enjoy our conversations and always come back. I enjoy the habesha coffee, it reminds me of my family back home in Sudan and the same spices we use. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Their drinks are fantastic, the food is delightful and the vibe of this place is one of the best in the Bay.“

“great atmosphere and a very relaxing place to get some work done or fellowship. Very accepting of everyone No judgment just great ambiance.“

“Great view of Coast Guard island !“

““Noble kava, hand-pressed in house the traditional way, enjoyed for 3,000 years socially and in ceremony.”

We tried the Melo Ginger, Melo Chai, Melo Chocolate and Midnight Mystic. All with a “riptide” added and a hybrid of both kava strains. They were all exceptional and unique. They make your tongue numb after a couple sips. Very fun experience with great music. The space is very welcoming. Couches or bar seating. They have an entire wall that is live plants.“

“Best coffee in NorCal, amazing staff. We love coming out to Oakland just for this coffee.“

“Such a great vibe, beautiful local space, SUPER coffee and pastries, amazing service. Do yourself a favor and go if you are community minded and kind and love coffee and pastries.“

“Awesome place for a cup of coffee. Love the area and very friendly customer service.“

“i like it here. good food, great corn dogs! sandwiches kind of lack meat tho, and last time i got extra meat there was still not a lot. i felt cheated out of my money.
cheese foam is salty, didnt expect that because i always buy from happy lemon lollll. the drinks are ok
service is fine. easy and straight forward
anyways, the bacon egg and cheese croissant is really eh. its not the best… the mochi nut is ok, and the prices are… i guess its whats considered average now.“

“Customer service is always welcoming, if you're social there's always a good conversation waiting or if you want to work with headphones on that's an option. The coffee or tea is great along with good food choices.“

“The food here is amazing and affordable! It's a great place to stop by for sandwiches, salads and tacos ☺️“

“great food & atmosphere! 5 stars!!“

“Clean place, drinks are delicious“

“I've been coming to this market for many years. I tried the deli a few times in the past, but the service was horrible. There used to be two women working there who always had bad attitudes, which made me feel unwelcomed, so I stopped coming. However, a few weeks back I decided to check it out again, and I am so glad that I did! Ever since Elizabeth took over, the whole experience has been completely different. When you walk in, you're instantly greeted with a smile and asked how you can be helped. The food is fresh, made quickly, and the whole team is great! This is going to be a weekly lunch date for my husband and me now.“

“Great place to go to grab something to eat. Either solo or with company. Very nice service and the food was outstanding! I got the breakfast burrito! They have parking in the back of the restaurant so you don't have to pay for meterd parking (if you don't want too).“

“I had The Combo Pho and took a Combo Bahn Mi to go.. Both very good and the bread for the bahn Mi was fresh. Also had a Thai Tea very good!“

“Good food and friendly staff“

“Lake Chabot is a great place to walk - shorter walks or even the 9 mile very scenic loop around the Lake starting and ending at the Marina Snack Bar/Cafe. Not much of a place to eat through very limited selection - much much less than a 7-11.“

“Good stuff, love nondairy options!“

“Best breakfast burrito of my LIFE on god. The sausage one is the best. Owner is super friendly, calls everyone friend and you can tell he means it. Service is fast, coffee is good. Not much seating but it's fine. I was in the store for about 20 minutes and in that time I saw three regulars come in and he knew them all by name and I think that's a really good indicator of how good a place is. Highly recommend. I will be back“

“So this is a small place. Food is good and served quick. Come in, sit down and order something fantastic.

I parked my emoto on the side of the building ( front) one entrance into the closed off path around the restaurant ( good bike parking) not for motorcycles ( too heavy and big) ,bicycles, ebikes and emotos are just fine.“

“Incredible experience. The staff were genuinely kind and humble, which made everything feel even more special. You can tell they really care about what they do—the coffee was expertly made, and the sushi was some of the freshest and most flavorful I’ve had. Truly impressed. Highly recommend.“

“yo comiendo con un servicio para este cliente por sus seguidores y un servicio“

“The donuts and the people behind the counter are fabulous! the atmosphere... not so much.
The building needs a refresh, and the inside is a bit cluttered. They store things in areas that used to be intended for guests.
I think a bit of paint and reorganization would do it a lot of good!“

“It’s a Beautiful place the guys very Friendly and Nice costumer Service the Best Boba In the Bay Area. We loved and recommend ;they have a lot of flavors every fruit it’s Natural and the tapiocas so good 😊“

“Nice atmosphere, pet friendly and delicious food and drinks.“

“Excellent!! The ube is wonderful!“

“I was 56 yrs old when I found the best sausage, egg, cheese and grilled onions McMuffin. My wife and I were very impressed with the gracious gentleman that helped us with our order. We also ordered a cookie which was just as impressive. Add this spot to your breakfast routine!“

“A Yemeni Cafe with a modern touch and serious focus on taste!
A Friendly service with attention to details.
Was really impressed with their collection of pastries and fruit shaped scrumptious mouse cakes. First time I try such beauties at any cafe for that matter!
Their Yemeni black tea has cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon… ordered with little honey mixed in for a complete immersion of tastes!
Will most definitely be back with friends!“
