Awesome little coffee shop and certainly a welcome addition to Oakland. This place provides a nice change of pace if you are sick of the questionable smell at the Starbucks on Forbes a block down the road. Perhaps not so surprisingly, Redhawk also offers a better cup of coffee for less money than Sbux. Bonus: very friendly staff that gives a crap about making good coffee and doesn't constantly try to misspell or otherwise butcher your name.
