Cute little corner cafe with great drinks and good food! The quiche is great. They have chai! Didn’t see it on the menu but asked for it and it was delicious!

Possibly my favorite cafe in Oakland, good enough to be worth walking ~20 minutes from the lake to visit weekly. Can recommend the great ($4.00) cold brew, empanadas (solid vegetarian food options available), as well as the Original Pattern Brewing taps they have. Cold brew, tastey bites, and beer in a quiet residential neighborhood? That hits all the marks. The building is quite adorable with a small, hip interior and a SPACIOUS, dog-friendly outdoor seating area with shade and privacy from the street. Don't be put-off by its relative proximity to East Oakland -- this is a safe location if that is a concern. You may not have many reasons to be in the area, but if you're trying to check out the locals-only cafe scene in Oakland, this place is perfect. I've probably come here 20 times and every staff member has been incredibly kind, as well.

This is one of my favorite cafes in Oakland. Their espresso drinks are solid, they have a great food menu with pastries from starter bakery and a small selection of sandwiches, and a beautiful back patio for enjoying drinks with friends or while teleworking. But what makes this place special is the community they create - they are always rotating local artists on the walls, and they host events every few months to feature pop up businesses or to fundraise for a good cause. I’ve even donated blood a few times. And of course - the cutest dogs!! They sell beans from Grand Coffee roasters based in SF. No pourovers and their batch brew tends to be a bit darker, but their cold brew is really good. They always have a few vegan savory options.

This place is seriously cute and you can totally get your fill of dogs and coffee here. There is plenty of on street free parking. The menu is small but mighty, with nicely curated and classic offerings such as drip coffee, espresso etc. The pastry selection is high-quality and tasty. There is a lovely garden in the back with tables and chairs that smells of Jasmine. There are water bowls for visiting dogs. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The ambience in the sweet little neighborhood joint is on point! Free Wi-Fi is always great 👌

Great place for you and doggie to relax and enjoy coffee ☕️. Ample patio ans sidewalk space. Interior is tight for groups but excellent for singles. Check out when in the neighborhood.

So lucky to have this place in the neighborhood. Delicious coffee and snacks with a really cute outdoor garden and friendly staff and customers. A true community meeting place. Note that dogs are no longer allowed inside the cafe, only on the back patio and sidewalk.

Loved the atmosphere and the people. There is an outdoor patio for dogs and seating by the cafe. We got the espresso tonic and the earl grey iced latte with oat milk. Apparently on Saturdays there are a lot more dogs. 🐶 the empanadas were warm and delicious. There are trash cans outside but the tubs for your cups and plates are inside the cafe.

Lovely cafe, very community oriented and it is apparent from the moment you arrive before even walking in. Today there was someone giving away free green apples outside, and when I came in I had a lovely maple cardamom latte and a sandwhich. Have been recommended to this cafe in the past, was very happy to give it a try! Will come back ;)

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.
