Woody's Cafe

Wow! Genuinely so so delicious. I went with a group of 5 students after hanging out at the lake. We were looking for a quick place to eat and get coffee, and Woody's Cafe was so so delicious. We all ordered the Cuban sandwich which was Sooooo GOOD!!! def not just ordinary "Cafe food." It was a full meal and it could've been two meals in one. The coffee is super high quality and the sizes are reasonable. I LOVE IT! If I lived in Oakland, I would come here everyday!!! The owner is also super kind and apparently is a descendant of the founder Woody! You'll be supporting an epic fam business. (I ate an entire half of the sandwich before I could take a photo. It was THAT good)

The employees here are always incredibly nice. Their food is affordable as well. Definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood!

Firstly, I usually only leave reviews on Amazon purchases, not on Google. But I wanted to share my experience and to let others know what a great cafe Woody's was. It's so rare to encounter honest and sincere businesses these days. I found Woody's cafe only recently and have fallen in love with their friendly, kind customer service, a quiet, cozy, and unpretentious atmosphere, and, above all, delicious coffee and addictive sandwiches at the most reasonable prices. I started spending my mornings there to work on my computer when I visited Oakland. ( I live in Seattle and visit Oakland nearly every month for business.) On the morning of my departure to Seattle, I decided to order a couple of Paninis from Woody's to take to the Airport. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich and a Spicy Cuban on DoorDash to pick up on the way to the Airport. The payment was made online at that point. However, a few minutes after placing the order, Woody's called me to say they were out of Spicy Cuban and asked if I wanted something else. The only other sandwich I was interested in was the Tomato Mozzarella Panini. But it was a couple of dollars cheaper than Spicy Cuban. The employees had neither the ability to alter the initial online order nor to give me a refund without the owner's presence. And I didn't have time to deal with the DoorDash matter that morning. So I asked them to let the owner know about the mishap and to give me a $2 credit when I return to Oakland in the following months. I left my name and phone number with them. That evening, I received a sincere text message from the apologetic owner, Evan. He said he had given me a full refund for the Spicy Cuban that I couldn't get. Well, they gave me a Tomato Mozzarella instead, and I enjoyed it tremendously. So the full refund was really not necessary. But he gave me a full refund anyway for the inconvenience. Anyway, I can go on and on about how much I love this cafe, but I'd better stop. This hidden gem deserves 10 stars.

Excellent place with personalized care, staff makes you feel really special. Had a breakfast croissant at 3pm and it was delicious!

I visited Woodys today to order the Spicy Cuban,after bragging how great the Spicy Cuban was. Chef /staff Evan suggested trying the Tomato Mozzarella and it was sooo tasty, light and filling.If Evan,had not been at the right spot at the right time, I would never had tried this delicious meal.Kudos Evan
