Blue Bottle Coffee - Oakland
4001 Piedmont Ave, Oakland, CA
Crema's Take
“Blue Bottle's Oakland location is a meticulously clean, almost laboratory-like space where you can slow down with genuinely exceptional coffee—their Taiwan COE lots and carefully crafted cold brew are worth the splurge, and their mochas prove they're just as skilled with milk drinks as they are with single origins. The warm, organic aesthetic paired with convenient parking and Piedmont Avenue's quiet charm makes this an ideal spot for a contemplative morning or focused work session, where you'll find the staff is just as thoughtful and welcoming as the coffee is good.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
