Finally a coffee shop in Oakland! Ever since it's first opening, I think this place has done a really great job serving coffee in the oakland area. The first couple weeks of opening, there weren't much interior decor or seating but they've added some tables and chairs so I would say to choose wisely what time to come if you want to sit down with someone to chat or get some work done. Because this is one of the coffee shops close by to the University, UPMC hospital and other offices, it can get quite busy at certain times. The baristas that I've met are all really friendly and do a great job keeping the place clean and welcoming to all their customers.
I normally order the iced vanilla latte and never disappoints :) I've heard the vietnamese cold brew is good so I'll be sure to give that a try next time!
