50 Best Coffee Shops near Oakland

“If there were more stars, I'd give them. We are from out of state (formerly from Waldwick) and needed to send a brunch catering to a dear family. Bagel Supreme was professional, sweet, considerate and kind. I called on a Sunday afternoon at 1 PM (about an hour before the store closed) and the owner had his wife call "within the hour." She did and spent time with me on the phone getting the right order to fit my request for the family. Then sent multiple texts to confirm everything throughout the evening. Talk about going ABOVE AND BEYOND! They delivered PROMPTLY as promised the next day and they sent us pictures of the platters to ensure that we saw what was delivered. Greeting cards to mark the occasion with our thoughts HAND WRITTEN were attached. The store would NOT take money until the order was delivered even though I offered to pay in advance. I will absolutely use them in the future for long distance gift giving (who doesn't like food as a gift)? And this will be our very first stop when we are back in town. 1,000% recommend!!!“

“😋 We eat at this restaurant whenever we travel from VA. to RI. Every meal is delicious! Everyone is friendly. We love this place!😎“

“Your employee Charlie does a fantastic job. I live nearby and stop in pretty regularly. Whenever she is working your store is in good hands. The store is clean, well maintained; and she handles multiple orders with ease. She's also very friendly and has excellent customer service. 5 stars every time.“

“I recently visited Starbucks, and I honestly left impressed not only by how fast and organized the store was, but by how genuinely welcoming the staff made the experience feel. From the moment I walked in, the environment was clean, upbeat, and efficient. Even during a busy rush, the team worked together smoothly and kept the line moving quickly without making customers feel ignored or rushed. It’s rare to find a store that balances speed with good customer service so naturally, but this location absolutely did.

What stood out the most to me, though, was an employee named Connor. After another worker accidentally messed up my drink order, he immediately stepped in with kindness and professionalism. Instead of making the situation awkward or brushing it off, he made me feel completely taken care of. He was calm, understanding, and genuinely wanted to make sure I left happy. Small interactions like that can completely change someone’s day, and he handled it perfectly.

On top of being incredibly helpful, he was also very personable and friendly, which made the experience feel more genuine rather than forced customer service. You could tell he cared about doing a good job and making customers feel welcome. His positive attitude and confidence stood out immediately, and it honestly made the whole store atmosphere feel better.

Overall, this Starbucks location exceeded expectations. The service was fast, the employees worked efficiently under pressure, and Connor especially turned what could have been a frustrating experience into a really positive one. Employees like him are a huge reason customers come back, and the store is lucky to have someone who represents the company so well.“

“Best coffee around, completely blows Starbucks out of the water. Ditch Starbucks and Dunkin, come here instead!“

“The best coffee ever and the desserts 5 stars“

“Came here to get some work done and wasn’t disappointed. The service is really nice and accommodating. There’s limited seating but there was room on a late Friday morning and the seating was comfortable to sit for a few hours. I got the biscoff latte with oat milk since it was so recommended and it was pretty good. The espresso was good. The atmosphere was really cute and decorated in a comfy way (even the bathroom). It was pretty warm but they turned on the AC once they noticed.“

“Boy, are we glad we added this special stop to our road trip from the Boston, MA area because they sell gluten-free bagels... and they're delicious...plain or with everything (poppy, sesame, garlic etc.) They even have packaged gluten-free snack items! I bought a gluten-free brownie that was heavenly!! Karim couldn't have been nicer. When we come back to the area we will definitely stop here again! ;-) Thanks Karim!!“

“Just Perfect“

“Love, Love, Love Magpie Bakery! Should have posted this a couple of weeks ago to let everyone know what an absolutely beautiful job they did with the delicious Woodland Creatures 1/2 sheet cake for my daughter’s baby shower! Wow! It was so moist and tasty, received so many compliments from the ladies. And you know we ladies love our cakes! The decorator created an over-the-top adorable woodland creatures design. Even the gluten free cupcakes were tasty and gorgeous. Kudos to the entire staff and owner. Everyone was so helpful and lovely. Would highly recommend this bakery when you want the best! Thank you to everyone there.“

“The freshest and tastiest meals i've ever had, ohh and they are super fast with delivery orders too. My favorites are the greek salad with chicken and a healthy beet juice“

“Stopped by Blue Ridge Cafe and was pleasantly surprised! I didn’t realize it was a Greek cafe OR that they served Greek treats and everything we tried was delicious. The spinach pie is absolutely to die for—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The food, atmosphere, and service were all wonderful. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu!“

“Best sushi / sashimi / poke / boba & everything else on the menu on this side of the Mississippi, actually probably both sides of the Mississippi honestly.

“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“

The flavors are perfectly balanced, and it’s the kind of drink I keep coming back for. Everything tastes fresh, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is great whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or staying awhile. If you’re a matcha lover, I highly recommend trying the Banana Matcha Date—you won’t be disappointed!“

They were kind enough to help me pack my car as well. I would HIGHLY recommend them! 👌 👍“

“Cozy local spot! Finally stopped by Cafe 179 after always catching it closed after work. The place is charming with great pastries (loved the sfogliatelle) and a really good pistachio latte. I mentioned the hours to one of the staff—possibly the owner—and she said they’ll be extending them soon, which is great news. Definitely my kind of place, and one of the reasons I enjoy living in a small town.“

“The guy with the long hair was super nice. My younger brother was with me and he has Down Syndrome. The guy offered my brother extra smoothie (for free) because he made a lot, he treated him sooo nicely!!! People usually don’t know how to act around people with disabilities but this dude was awesome. Would totally recommend, the mocha was fantastic and the banana nut muffin was delicious. My boyfriend got an iced matcha and it tasted fantastic.“

All of their bakery goods are super fresh along with their coffee. super super yummy!“

“I had the Baileys Irish Cream flavor. So good. Nice place. Nice owners. Can taste any flavor before you decide what you want.“

“Love this place! It’s my go-to morning stop. Perfect in every way; atmosphere, service, food, prices. One of the few places with that old-fashioned luncheonette feel. Alex, Luz, Debra, and Jasmine are always happy to see you, bring your coffee and share a story. Breakfast and lunch are done to perfection, served hot and fast. Convenient location, with quick take-out for commuters.“

“Nice and cozy atmosphere with good quality baked goods and coffee“

“Cute little spot in the heart of downtown Little Falls. The ice cream prices are decent, around $6 for a small. The quality of the ice cream isn't bad either. There is parking in the back of the building on Old Morris Canal Lane. Worth checking out and a nice addition to Little Falls.“

“I just discovered this cafe recently and I really liked it. They have lots of good drink options (coffee, tea, boba etc) and snacks like muffins. It is very chill in there and a nice place to get some work done or meet up with a couple friends, however they recently changed their hours and now close at 5pm so I guess I'll never get you go there again because I work regular hours and they will be closed by the time I get there 😅“

“Great coffee!! Such a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of seating. Love their outdoor seating perfect for the fall!Staff and owner always very friendly.“

“Best Italian ice I’ve ever had“
